Blacks are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease as whites, yet Blacks represent less than 5% of participants in most clinical trials for new drugs and therapies

Brian Van Buren applied to five Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials after being diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and losing his mother and aunt to the illness.

He wanted to participate despite a painful family history with medical research: His grandfather died from syphilis after involvement with the infamous Tuskegee study, in which African-American men were deliberately left untreated.

They are weak people.

The left says race is a social construct

DocDre Is it a question of altruism?

How about Biden’s dementia,,,report his problem

This Is Very Skewed Data! WSJ Has Been Bought By Soros!

maxlugavere Diet. (She says to the voice of reason..you!)

No surprises, the “others” have always been an afterthought .

Or smart enough to not take unproven treatments

Who are these “Blacks” that you speak about? Your whole organization needs diversity training. Just because a person has melanin does not make them “black”. Further, melanated people aren’t science projects and the remaining 95+ percent know the importance of diet and exercise.

White people are twice as likely to get sunburn

Is JoeBiden part of the clinical trials?

Alzheimer’s Disease has been CANCELLED!!

This story is completely ignorant of scientific method. People chosen for clinical trials are alike in terms of specific medical factors. They are not chosen based on race proportionate to population.

Black people* Stop saying 'Blacks'

Does every damn thing have to do with the color of someones skin You do know there are other races besides black and white right Yet you hear none of this bs about them. Blacks are twice as likely to get this and that blah blah blah. Let’s see real news for a change.

It’s a horrible disease (one of the worst). We should do all we can to understand the cause and cure.

Somehow, it’s the white man’s fault!

Well...if anyone was on the fence about whether or not the MSM was biased, hopefully this sealed the deal

Yha say it so that they can use more Black's as specimens for developing drugs to treat White men, the whites want to be killing us in the name of clinical trials, i see a new systematic reduction system. This is not a racial problem don't make it one.

Sadly, blacks and Hispanics are often ignored during clinical trials.

FUCKING TRUMP!

Are you suggesting they are doing their fair share?

Maybe try 'Black people' and 'White people' next time, weirdos.

maxlugavere How do you become part of a clinical trial?

Is this being positioned as a problem?

is this my fault too
