So right away that’s not a doubling of anything. But the ceteris isn’t paribus. The white docs aren’t seeing the same infants as the black docs. They’re more likely to get the NICU cases where all infants are less likely to survive, and study doesn’t control for that. — PolitiTweet.org

The lawyers are lying (or, more likely, mathematically illiterate). The study says no such thing. The study purports to find black-doctor/black-infant have survival rate of 99.8% vs. 99.6% for white-doctor/black-infant. https://t.co/USWCS1p65b — PolitiTweet.org

So the study is confusing correlation with causation: if you have a black doctor, your baby is more likely to survive, but that’s because that means you’re less likely to be in the NICU, where there are fewer black doctors. It has nothing to do with the race of the doctor. — PolitiTweet.org
