Test Subject of the North: The Hidden History of Vaccine Experiments on Inuit Children

from Grey Matter · host Leighton Grey K.C.

What did they do to Inuit Children? In this powerful episode, we expose the disturbing legacy of unauthorized vaccine experiments conducted on Inuit children by the federal government. Delve into a dark chapter of public health ethics where indigenous communities became unwilling participants in medical research without informed consent. We examine how this historical exploitation continues to affect trust in health systems today and discuss the critical need for transparency, community involvement, and government accountability in public health initiatives. Join us as we confront uncomfortable truths about systemic injustice and advocate for ethical practices that respect indigenous rights and human dignity.
