Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it was tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars pic.twitter.com/1xPPtwJx2P

In yesterday’s exchange with @Sen_Alsobrooks, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. suggested that Black people have different immunity than White people. As I write in a @KFF QuickTake, the idea of biological differences by race is disproven & has harmful consequences https://t.co/knr4vpGiyR pic.twitter.com/bErWSf2WSA
