100% - 99.6839% = 0.3161%.
100% - 99.5549% = 0.4451%.
Meaning: When a Black physician is in attendance, only 0.3161% die.
And when a White physician is in attendance, 0.4451% die.
0.4451% divided by 0.3161% = approx. 1.41.
Meaning: The death rate with a White physician is about 41% higher.
HOWEVER, we are talking about a comparison of two tiny slivers of data-sets.
I would hazard the claim that:
a. This is in the range of uncertainty and/or the data-sets are too small to be statistically significant, or
b. A multi-variant analysis taking into consideration ALL factors would cause the difference to vanish.
FURTHER: What, no Asian or Latino attending physicians?! Don't they exist?!

Thanks for this perspective post. So noise from the left would be that kentangie was not lying, she just didnt tell the whole truth. Which is similar to the lie they told about the 2020 election. Justifying it by saying it was ‘rigged’ and not ‘stolen’. But the difference between those two is pedantic at best.

I always find that the use of “simple stats” is nothing but a tool to distort truth, things are usually more complex. Same with the “wage gap”.
I could see a study with some numbers like:
Block doctors: 1 in 1000 black babies die
White doctors: 2 in 1000 black babies die
So, “twice as many babies died in the hands of white doctors vs. black doctors”. It would be an absurd basis for anything though, as this is a single study with a limited sample size and would fall into the margin of error & is statistical noise.
But that is what the left always does with “simple stats”. Anytime you hear them, just scratch the surface, just a little, and it falls apart. Remember the Roe vs Wade argument? That “back alley abortions kill xxxx women per year!”...yeah, they admit they just pulled the number out of their a**.
It’s disturbing when a SC justice does it though, it’ll be repeated ad-nauseam.
