Oxford university has begun testing their new Covid-19 vaccine in South Africa and Brazil, two countries where Black people make up a large demographic. We want Oxford University to stop using Black people as test subjects for their new COVID-19 vaccine. We want these unethical experiments to stop. They are a violation to human rights and human dignity.
Why is this important?
They are using Black people as test subjects at disproportionate rates. They claim it is because these countries have high numbers of Covid-19, despite having European nations, and the U.S take the lead in Covid cases. This has been seen before in history. Look to the Tuskegee experiment. Look to the experiments performed on enslaved people in the U.S. History is repeating itself. Black people are not guinea pigs.
