Diseases, experiments and biowarfare

SUMMARYDiseases, experiments and biowarfare (Nov 6, 2026; user drop). User Lens: diseases, cancers and viruses are manufactured or spread on purpose; biowarfare. Record (spread on purpose): Fort Pitt, 1763. Captain Ecuyer's journal records giving two blankets and a handkerchief from the smallpox hospital to Delaware envoys, "hope it will have the desired effect"; Amherst's letters discuss it. Whether it caused the outbreak is Disputed. Record: Guatemala, 1946–48. The US Public Health Service (NIH-funded) deliberately exposed about 1,300 prisoners, soldiers, mental patients and sex workers to syphilis and gonorrhea; the US apologized in 2010 (Obama, Clinton, Sebelius). Record: Tuskegee, 1932–72. 600 men papered as Negro (399 with syphilis) were watched, not treated, even after penicillin (1947); Clinton apologized in 1997. Record: Army open-air tests. Zinc cadmium sulfide (cadmium is a carcinogen) was sprayed over St. Louis from 1953, including Pruitt-Igoe, mostly Black public housing. The Army admits the spraying and says it was harmless; the National Research Council (1997) couldn't fully assess it, with records classified or missing. Martino-Taylor suspects a radioactive additive (no document yet). Operation Drop Kick: about 600,000 yellow fever mosquitoes (uninfected) released over Avon Park, FL (1956); Operation Big Buzz, Savannah (1955). Documents declassified 1980. Record: Project Coast (apartheid South Africa, to 1993; Wouter Basson). It tried, and failed, to make an infertility "vaccine" for Black women without their knowledge, and poisons that leave no trace (TRC hearings 1998; HPCSA found Basson guilty of unethical conduct, 2013). Record (side effects): NIH Sister Study (2022), frequent hair relaxer users had higher uterine cancer risk (about 4.05% vs 1.64% by age 70). Record: Henrietta Lacks's cells taken without consent (1951). AYITI, Record: in 1983 the CDC listed Haitians as an AIDS "risk group" (the "4H" list). The FDA barred Haitian blood donors in 1990; about 50,000 marched across the Brooklyn Bridge (Apr 20, 1990). The US held HIV-positive Haitian refugees at Guantánamo (1991–93) until a federal judge ordered the camp closed. HIV ORIGIN: Record (admission), the "AIDS made in a US lab" story was spread by the Soviet KGB (Operation INFEKTION, from 1983); Russia's intelligence chief Primakov admitted it in 1992. The official science traces HIV-1 to a chimpanzee virus spilling over around Kinshasa (Congo) about the 1920s (Worobey 2008; Faria, Science 2014). Disputed: the Congo polio vaccine trials (CHAT, 1957–60) as the source (Hooper, The River); tests of stored vaccine found no chimp virus

OPENwhy Kinshasa in the colonial era (railways, sex trade and mass injection campaigns are the scholars' own leads).
