She cites an article published in 2020 which indicates white physicians delivering black children doubles the infant mortality rate.

This is consistent with at least one other study done at Stanford in the 1990's, but those links look like they've been wiped from the internet. The fact the medical profession looks away from the damage physicians have been doing to the black community for many decades is heartbreaking.
Her logic and reasoning using this argument is wrong-headed when it comes to affirmative action, but the facts are essentially correct. The solution is not applying affirmative action in admissions. The solution is looking at the behaviors of physicians within the field that are directly resulting in the increase in infant deaths.
After this ruling, Brown was forced to submit a correction and this Fox article describes her initial statement was faulty. This matter has been long overlooked by medicine, and God forbid they acknowledge there are gaps and problems in care. Doctors continue to look away. Shameful.
Among active physicians, 56.2% identified as White, 17.1% identified as Asian, 5.8% identified as Hispanic, and 5.0% identified as Black or African American.

How many jews and muzzies in this list. Bad statistics.
So she suddenly thinks it’s good when babies aren’t killed? Not that these retards ever really think.
This data is rather disturbing, OP/Excelsior.
I, like many, have lost complete faith in Western medicine so I suppose there isn't much negative data that would surprise me. However, this is particularly bothersome.
Excelsior, curious to get your take on this. Assuming this data is correct, what is the reason/mechanism for this in your opinion?
Goes back to the Flexner report of 1910. At that time, all the medical schools run by women were closed, as well as all those run by blacks, with the exception of two (now Howard and Meharry). These two were kept open with the stipulation that they follow the created Rockefeller medicine guidelines and remain in lockstep. Whatever specialized clinical knowledge/nuances/medical advantages these schools had were essentially removed.
Inherent racism and sexism aren't bugs in Western medicine. They're features.
I was afraid you'd say that, Ex. I had no other explanation myself after looking at the data you posted. Now I have another reason to hate doctors.
