Narrative and politics changed a paper to say infant mortality is higher for black newborns with white doctors because of racial bias.
BUT DATA ORIGINALLY SHOWED HIGHER WHITE BABY MORTALITY WITH BLACK DOCTORS
"The study originally asserted that white babies died less frequently with white doctors.
“White newborns experience 80 deaths per 100,000 births more with a black physician than a white physician, implying a 22% fatality reduction from racial concordance,” an unpublished draft reads.
But the study’s lead author Brad N. Greenwood wrote in the margin: “I’d rather not focus on this. If we’re telling the story from the perspective of saving black infants this undermines the narrative.”"
