The news report is a LIE and misrepresents the research.
Headline: “Black Kids Get Less Pain Medication Than White Kids in ER” is a LIE.
Lead sentence: “Black children with acute appendicitis — a clearly painful emergency — are less likely than white children to get painkillers in the emergency room, researchers reported Monday. “ is a LIE.
From the actual report abstract “ In a multivariable model, there were no significant differences in the overall rate of analgesia administration by race. “
From the body of the report: “ Table 2 describes the distribution of analgesia administration by race. In bivariable analysis, there were no statistically significant differences in administration of any analgesia by race; however, black patients were less likely to receive opioid analgesia than white patients”
From a table in the actual report: Proportion receiving any pain relief White = 57%, Black = 55%. That difference is statistically insignificant. The only difference is in the TYPE of pain relief given.
People should NEVER EVER believe these MSM propaganda pieces without going to the original study.
Exactly right. And thanks for digging in to help us get ahead of the continued disinformation campaign we may well see off this.
“People should NEVER EVER believe these MSM propaganda pieces without going to the original study.”
