Fauci: ‘Undeniable effects of racism’ have worsened Covid for US minorities

Then we die.

'Then we die'.

Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, Dr Anthony Fauci, said on Sunday “the undeniable effects of racism” have worsened the coronavirus pandemic for Black, Hispanic and Native Americans.

“Covid-19 has shone a bright light on our own society’s failings,” Fauci said during a graduation ceremony for Emory University in Atlanta.

Methinks Fauci is more about his newfound celebrity and less about the science.

Because?

Because it’s not a statement any serious scientist would make.

Because it’s not a statement any serious scientist would make.

Almost every serious scientists would state that racism probably has an effect of health outcomes. It has been proven by many studies.

Even something as simple as an oximetry shows the effects of racism. It assumes all patients are white, so overstates the oxygen level of Blacks. Many Blacks were sent home, being told they were fine, when they were actually dying.

That sounds a little hyperbolic, Alter.

The oximeter readings between the two groups would have to vary by a fairly significant value to result in ‘sending black people home dying’. An reading of 96% O2 saturation vs 95% probably isn’t going to do it.

Do you or Fauci have evidence for this outlandish claim?

Work published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine, which looked at more than 10,000 patients throughout America, suggested the pulse oximeters used overestimated blood-oxygen saturation more frequently in black people than white. A healthy human being has an oxygen saturation of 92-96%. In this work some patients who registered that level according to pulse oximetry had a true saturation (as recorded by the arterial blood-gas measure, a method which requires the actual drawing of blood) of less than 88%. For black participants this happened 12% of the time—three times the rate at which it occurred for white participants. As Michael Sjoding of the University of Michigan, the study’s leader, observes, this difference would also be the difference between being admitted to the hospital and being sent home.
...
Non-white people have been disproportionately affected by covid-19 in many places. In America, according to the country’s national public-health agency, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, black and Hispanic individuals are twice as likely to die from it as white people. There are many reasons for this disparity, and a single type of medical device certainly cannot be blamed for most of it. But the wider point is that medical technology should be designed from the outset to be free from such bias—and, unfortunately, it isn’t. Generally speaking, it is designed by white men and tested on white men. That it works best on white men is therefore hardly a surprise. But this fact has potentially lethal consequences for the part of the world’s population who are not white men, ie, the vast majority.
