Scientists finally re-analyzed the study and found that it was riddled with errors—but that didn’t matter then because it furthered the narrative.
In America, an inordinate number of so-called “scientific” studies are subject to what’s called the “replication (or reproducibility) crisis.” If someone publishes a study that feeds into leftist shibboleths, no matter how poorly done the study is (small sampling, foolish assumptions, bad math, etc.), the results are widely trumpeted and become embedded in the popular consciousness. That the study cannot be replicated (run again from scratch) or reproduced (subject to a new analysis of the study’s data)—and often nobody even tries to do these things—is irrelevant. The narrative overrides the scientific method.
A classic example of the scientific lie getting halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on was a 2020 study claiming that black babies were much more likely to die under a white doctor’s care. The study’s results were understood to mean that the white doctors were so racist that they were killing babies. However, that study recently got the rigorous analysis it deserved, revealing that it was completely wrong. By then, though, it was already part of the popular racial consciousness.
The worst area for the crisis is in the faux science area of psychology, where “science” often boils down to biased observation. However, the purportedly hard science of medicine isn’t much better.
With that background, here are the tweets, which I’ve run through the Thread Reader for easier viewing (including removing duplicate images):
1) Remember when the neo-segregationist left told you that white doctors were killing black babies?
Turns out they were either incapable of analyzing their own data or outright lying to you.
A new study demolishes the failings and falsehoods in that first study. We unpack it:

It looks like the first study deceptively tried to sow division and hatred. The first impression has been made and new evidence won’t change that.
Something about a lie getting around the world (for FOUR years!) before the truth gets out of bed...
Finally an article from AT that gets to the point in a reasonable amount of time. More like this please.
Abortion doctors maybe, but that wouldn’t be their fault.
The reason left wing liars can get away with bad research is most journalists can’t do math. Democrat chaos agents filling up ‘news packets’ can feed “journalists” anything and they’ll accept it.
Bkmk
Hillary would send the publishers to prison.....not.
There is a reason my conservative daughter graduated with a journalism degree but hated newswriting. Hated marketing. Hated advertising. Became a teacher at a private Christian school and loves it.
My ex husband who followed pied pier Obama and lost his mind completely to the kool aid was not able to convince any of my three children who all are conservative.
Political differences can tear apart families, compromise morals, twist and obscure the truth.
Not junk science. DEI science released at peak George Floyd madness to advance BLM’s crime wave. Disgusting.
And possibly obfuscate the fact that Big Med still kills between six and seven figures of Americans annually thanks to medical mistakes.
White doctors have been practicing genocide on blacks through abortion. But the Democrats don’t want to talk about that, do they?
If I were a white doctor I would sue for slander
MSM newsrooms need conservative young people like your daughter - it’s their loss they can’t see beyond their narrow minded prejudices long enough to add real diversity.
Years ago there was a newspaper in my region that wanted a ‘conservative’ viewpoint on their pages but didn’t want to hire a conservative. So they assigned the job to a liberal news writer to ‘act like a conservative’. To say the least, that plan failed...
Black women (MOTHERS) are KILLING their babies. Blacks will NEVER be significant again because THEY KILL THEIR OWN. Hispanics are getting REPARATIONS. Blacks are so dumb they STILL listen to their PLANTATION OWNERS.
“White doctors have been practicing genocide on blacks through abortion. But the Democrats don’t want to talk about that, do they?”
Better way of putting that would be that blacks are suiciding their own race via abortion. White doctors are not going around aborting black babies. The mothers seek it out.
nobody forces black women to get abortions.
For example, if you define a "bear attack" as a human-bear conflict where a human is injured or killed, you eliminate all incidents where a bear attacked a human, but was stopped before the human was injured or killed.
This results in statistics which "show" human defenses against bears are far less effective than they actually are.
But they are killing black babies. What do you think abortions are?! In NYC, black babies are twice as likely to be aborted than born.
“White doctors are not going around aborting black babies. The mothers seek it out.”
White doctors are happily aborting black babies — when black mothers seek it out. The murder mothers don’t care who kills their babies as long as the deed is done.
