Stop Blaming Tuskegee, Critics Say
It’s not an ‘excuse’ for current medical racism.
For months, journalists, politicians and health officials including New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Dr. Anthony Fauci have invoked the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study to explain why Black Americans are more hesitant than white Americans to get the coronavirus vaccine.
“It’s ‘Oh, Tuskegee, Tuskegee, Tuskegee,’ and it’s mentioned every single time,” said Karen Lincoln, a professor of social work at the University of Southern California and founder of Advocates for African American Elders. “We make these assumptions that it’s Tuskegee. We don’t ask people.”

Targeted opioid relieves pain from IBD without causing side effects: Study ANI | Updated: Apr 01, 2021 08:22 IST
New York [US], April 1 (ANI): A targeted opioid, that only treats diseased tissues and spares healthy tissues, relieves pain from inflammatory bowel disease without causing side effects, according to new research.
The novel research was published in the journal Gut.
The study, led by researchers at New York University College of Dentistry and Queen s University in Ontario, was conducted in mice with colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease marked by inflammation of the large intestine.
Opioids, which are used to treat chronic pain in people with inflammatory bowel disease, relieve pain by targeting opioid receptors, including the mu-opioid receptor. When opioids activate the mu-opioid receptor in healthy tissues, however, they can cause severe and life-threatening side effects, including difficulty breathing, constipation, sedation
