Greenlanders are not ‘experimental subjects’, says minister as she decries US doctor’s visit | Greenland

What exactly is this doctor’s authorization to practice medicine in Greenland?

Deport him.

So, a sizeable minority within a country, whether through language or ethnicity is allegedly being mistreated by their government according to a foreign power, and that power now has to step in and “save” those people from their own government?

I’ve seen this playbook before in 2014.

Do we call you Mr. or Doctor Hospital Ship?

Why don’t Greenland / Denmark introduce a visa system to visit Greenland.? That way they can deny JD / the US gov mupetts etc.

They shouldn’t have allowed them to land.

To be fair, treating isolated or marginalized populations as experimental subjects is practically a historic American pastime.

The audacity of sending Jeff Landry to “assess medical needs” in Greenland is staggering when you look at his own record.

Louisiana ranked dead last — 50th out of 50 states — in overall health in the America’s Health Rankings 2025 report. It ranked 51st (including D.C.) in the Commonwealth Fund’s Medicare Scorecard. It has the highest rate in the nation of elderly residents forgoing medical care because they can’t afford it. The Louisiana State Penitentiary has been ruled unconstitutional for its healthcare conditions — twice — and Landry, as attorney general, actively fought in court to keep those conditions in place, arguing prisoners deserve only “adequate care.”

This is the man lecturing Greenland about healthcare?

Greenland has universal free healthcare. The United States — the only wealthy nation without it — spends $15,000 per person annually and still ranks last among peer countries. When Greenland’s PM rejected the hospital ship in February, he nailed it: “That is a deliberate choice and a fundamental part of our society. This is not how it works in the U.S.A., where it costs money to see a doctor.”

Health Minister Wangenheim understood exactly what this is. Her reference to the Spiral Campaign — when Danish doctors forcibly inserted IUDs into thousands of Inuit women and girls — wasn’t incidental. She recognises the pattern: foreign powers using “healthcare concern” as a vehicle for territorial control. Different century, different coloniser, same playbook.

Americans deserve better healthcare. Greenlanders deserve to be left alone. Landry should go home and fix Louisiana.
