| Dissent in Affimative Action Case Cites Debunked Citation |
| 2023-07-03 |
| [DailyCaller] Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson parroted a refuted claim in a Thursday dissent that black newborns are more likely to live when treated by black doctors. "For high risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live, and not die," Jackson wrote in her dissent for a case that determined the fate of affirmative action policies in college admission practices." The study cited, however, only says that black babies have a 99.96% chance of survival when treated by black doctors, and a 99.91% chance of survival when treated by white doctors. The statistic has been used by proponents of affirmative action policies to argue that increasing representation of black medical students in schools will lead to better health outcomes and fewer patient deaths among these communities. Moreover, white doctors are more likely to treat babies in dire medical situations that land them in the NICU than are black doctors, which the study does not control for.

| #9 I stopped trusting medical statistics of any kind during the whole “with Covid” versus “from Covid” debacle. Why would I ever trust anything they quoted me after that? Did they get all the doctor ethnicities correct? How did they categorize the Patels? Were the any Rachel Dolenz doctors that identified as black? This is a crock’s clerks citing a bozo study. |

#6 looking at this in depth, the '...double the likelihood that the baby will live' claim was in a "Friend of the Court" submission from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Ted Frank debunked this claim shortly after it was made in October 2022.

| #4 /\ 'Affirmative Action' no longer needed (except at US Military Academies). Dominion voting machines to ensure all future voting outcomes at much lower cost. |

| #3 It's been almost 60 years since Affirmative Action was implemented. Now the Race Pimps, BLoM and LSD's clearly see a massive decline for the need of their race baiting services, are reaching for anything to stay in the $$M speaking/blackmail and voter delivery business. |
