    Big fan of how the "scientific advancement" with all of this is always, "wow, that thing that we thought would kil/maim people sure does kill/maim people. Amazing how that thing we didn't think would cure people didn't cure the people we intentionally gave a disease to. Well, let's go ahead and not use something that will cure it."

    Literally every time these wildly immoral experiments give the exact result any kindergartener would have known would happen.

    Two dermatologists at the University of California, San Francisco — one of whom remains at the university — conducted the experiments on men at the California Medical Facility, a prison hospital in Vacaville that’s about 50 miles (80.47 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco. The practice was halted in 1977.

    This person should be found and they should never get another day of rest. The university should never know peace again.

        Reflection on past practices

        We found no documentation of regret or remorse by Maibach or Epstein regarding their human subjects research on incarcerated individuals at CMF. In fact, Epstein testified at the 1977 state hearings in support of biomedical experimentation in California prisons.43 Epstein died in 2006 and we found no documentation of him changing his opinion on biomedical experimentation. In an unpublished interview, Maibach defended human subjects research on those who are incarcerated as a catalyst for knowledge. In addition, He voiced support for Albert Kligman’s human subjects research on those incarcerated at Holmesberg prison. To our knowledge, he has yet to discuss the research he conducted at CMF in public.

        What a piece of shit.

    His Wikipedia page says that they were not just prisoners but "mentally disabled" prisoners:

    He has written over 3,000 research articles, which according to an estimate could be a world record. He was, however, found to have conducted research on mentally disabled prisoners without record of their consent. He and other researchers exposed a number of mentally disabled prisoners to herbicides and insecticides. Maibach claims he followed what was considered to be ethical at the time.

    Highly recommend Medical Apartheid for more examples of how the Healthcare system has used Black people (and their dead bodies/skeletons) for their experiments. They've also used other poc and the disabled but the book focuses more on Black people.

    I genuinely recommend it to everyone for more information about how systemic racism can manifest
