Between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. government conducted one of the most shocking medical scandals in American history — the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. For forty years, 399 Black men in Alabama were deceived, denied treatment, and used as test subjects while doctors withheld penicillin — even after it became the standard cure.
In this episode of American Scandal Report by Skoob, host OZ Dalton uncovers the truth behind the Tuskegee Experiment, the medical racism that allowed it to continue, the ethical violations that shocked the nation, and the long-term impact on trust in the American healthcare system.
This is more than a history lesson — it’s a deep dive into government betrayal, bioethics failures, institutional racism, and the lasting consequences of medical deception.
