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:

Hmmm...maybe they were seeing white doctors at the abortion clinics
Democrats are killing black babies via abortion. Most are to dumb to recognize it!
Left wing propagandists: they deal in lies and deceit.
“was not able to convince any of my three children who all are conservative.”
Kudos to you, yldstrk.
Margaret Sanger and her Negroe Project is heralded by the left as a great success. Obama brought in the Immigrants he is the master playing his evil game.
Did they count abortions?
They are planning white genocide in both America and Europe.
Knock me over with a feather.
Science is lies.
The scientific community is compromised like every other large entity. They’ve all been corrupted and I take nothing they report at face value. Duh.
Doctors don’t look at the color. They ask about “how good is the patient’s insurance?”
African-American women comprise 4% of the child bearing population in America and at the same time account for 36% of all abortions preformed in America.
4% of an ethnic population in America is killing 36% of it’s children before those children ever see the light of day.
Do those Black lives matter?
I see it in diet studies all the time. They will say a keto diet is no good, but define “Keto” as 45% carbs, and then say it doesn’t work. But “Keto” comes from ketosis, which implies a very low carb diet, maybe 10-15% carbs.
Or they will say “Red meat” is bad for you, but then define red meat as a burger, fries and Coke at McDonalds. Or “processed meat” as a pepperoni pizza and a coke. They can then conclude we all ought to eat plants only.
