Michele,
Go back a few pages of “posts” to “rheumatic articles” and you will find the info on it. This movie is a true story involving human experiments that had syphilis and were denied a simple inexpensive treatment ( penicillin).Syphilis is caused by a spirochete that is in the same family as the spirochete that causes lyme disease . This was a 40yr human experiment for political reasons . It was also called the “Tuskegee Experiment.”
It has been on our HBO channels lately and caught my interest….as well as boiled my blood!
