Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Pradheep J. Shanker
Given the long, ugly history of science & race, we should start with a strong presumption that racial patterns are not biological, & demand strong evidence. But in a field such as epidemiology, you can't just shut your eyes to the evidence if it ends up flagging a real risk.https://twitter.com/Neoavatara/status/1270734341962960897 …

RACE IS A RISK FACTOR.
Are you kidding me with this?
For example...sickle cell anemia.
The trait is found in something like 7% of African Americans. In whites...0.2%.
This isn't racism. IT IS SCIENTIFIC FACT.
