Heck, this is the Justice who tells us she doesn’t know what a woman is because she is not a biologist.

Less than 1 million casualties from 265 million vaccinated is more than 99.7% safe. Simple 5th grade math, but many do not understand this.

Math is racist.

That's what is taught here in the PNW anyway.

When nearly a million people are murdered by a vax that does nothing but murder a million people, you have a significant murder count. Show me one life that was saved by the vax. I can show you a million murdered.

Instead, in its most fully specified model, it [the study] reports that 99.6839% of black babies born with a black attending physician survived compared with 99.5549% of black babies born with white attending physicians, a difference of 0.129%.

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.

“...everyone makes mistakes...”

“Facts” appearing in written decisional or dissenting opinions on appeal need not stick out like sore thumbs, or prove to be sources of controversy, if the authors of those opinion exercise ordinary levels of judicial restraint characteristic of the traditional conservative approach toward this kind of work. Among the tried and true safeguards that come in handy here is the uncontroversial advice to avoid like the plague taking so-called “judicial notice” of facts not present in the formal record of the case at trial, such that only “tried and true” facts, formally found as such by the original judge during the course of a trial on the merits, are found in the downstream appellate opinions.

That's not how it works. To compare the death rates, you would take the difference between the two rates and divide that by the rate against which you are comparing the other one.

For example, in simpler terms: a 60% death rate (group A) vs a 40% death rate (group B). The difference is 20. 20 divided by 60 = .08. So the death rate for group A is 33% higher than that for group B.

With these black babies, the difference is .00129409: 99.4451 - 99.3161 = 0.129. Then 0.129 divided by 99.3161 = 0.00129888. In percentage terms, that's 0.1% higher. NOT 1.41% higher.
