Comment: Insignificant change since previous decline. 🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 01:40, 17 July 2021 (UTC)- Comment: His only real significance is in relation to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, so WP:BIO1E applies and at best a redirect there is all that is warranted. Sources are inadequate for anything more. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:07, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- ". In considering whether to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered." "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Furthermore he was assistant surgeon general and involved in other major public health issues such as smoking, as noted innthis entry. FloridaArmy (talk) 09:18, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Austin Vance Deibert should redirect here
Austin Vance Deibert was a public health official in the United States. He led the Tuskegee syphilis study that deceived African American farmers and left their condition untreated. He was also a leader of the National Institute of Health's cancer control efforts. He questioned whether cigarettes were being blamed for illness caused by smokers working in industrial plants where they are exposed to chemicals. Deibert had a son and grandson of the same name.[1]
He trained at Johns Hopkins.[2] He worked at the Venereal Disease Medical Center in Hot Springs, Arkansas.[3] He served as chief of the NIH's Cancer Control Branch.[4] He also served as assistant surgeon general.
Deibert wrote of the spinal taps done in the patients left untreated in the syphilis study that: "They simply do not like spinal punctures. A few of those who were tapped are enthusiastic over the results but to most, the suggestion causes violent shaking of the head, others claim they were robbed of their procreative powers (regardless of the fact that I claim it stimulates them)".[5] He sought advice from his supervisor, Vonderlehr, on how to get test subjects to cooperate.[6] Deibert criticized partial treatment of test subjects as compromising the study.
The National Library of Medicine has a photo of Deibert.[7]
