(LifeSiteNews) — The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sparked outrage Tuesday over a poorly worded tweet hailing the “suffering [and] sacrifice” of the 623 African American men who suffered unnecessarily and whose informed consent was violated during the infamous 40-year Tuskegee syphilis study that ended in controversy in 1972.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky made the remarks in a Tuesday tweet in which she responded to the CDC’s announcement it was launching an event to commemorate “the end of the Tuskegee syphilis study.”
“This year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Tuskegee syphilis study,” Walensky commented. “Tomorrow, I will be joined by colleagues & #PublicHealth leaders as we honor the 623 African American men, their suffering & sacrifice, and our commitment to ethical research and practice.”
