CDC statistics on pregnancy mortality rate inflated - NPR

And we just witnessed anti science at the highest level the last few years. It would be funny if not so damaging!

But you are correct. However I am not certain you understand the difference in science and propaganda?

 

We know of at least one Republican who apparently didn't understand it. Perhaps if they had written it even slower...

 

"Clark does not blame the CDC for putting the maternal mortality rate so high. "They can only analyze the data that they're provided with, and that data starts at the individual hospitals and individual places in the United States," Clark says. "CDC gets these numbers, and I think they probably do a great job – I don't think there's any conspiracy here to hide anything from the public."

Their claim is that pregnant black women are three times as likely to die as white women. How much of that disparity is because they're more likely to be beaten and shot while pregnant? The objective is steering money and resources toward prenatal care for black women that will augment careers and prestige for doctors and bureaucrats while doing nothing to help battered patients.

 

Eureka!

Au contraire! I’ve learned to appreciate propaganda, and conspiracy theory, from your many posts over the last few years.

 

From the article:

The widely reported issue of racial disparities in U.S. maternal mortality persists, even with the lower overall rate. Black pregnant patients are still three times more likely to die than white patients, according to data in the study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology on Wednesday.
