Welcome back to the Ten Blocks podcast.

This is Brian Anderson, the editor of City Journal.

Joining me on today's show is

Stanley Goldfar. He's a physician and the chairman of Do No Harm, an organization dedicated to protecting

health care from divisive and discriminatory ideologies. He's also a former associate dean

of curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania's

Perlman School of Medicine.

He's written several pieces for City Journal on a disturbing theme, the racialization of medical

research and care, and the push for prioritizing black patients for essential treatments. His work on this topic and other important topics

has appeared not only in City Journal, but in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Post,

Washington Free Bacon, and other distinguished publications. So today we're going to discuss the

rise of racial preferences in medicine.

Stanley, thanks very much for joining us.

Well, thank you very much for having me.

So on average, black Americans have shorter life expectancies, worse treatment results,

and higher rates of maternal and infant mortality compared with white Americans.

In recent years, leading medical journals have run studies attributing racial disparities

and medical outcomes to what is purportedly a discriminatory medical system.

I wonder what your sense is of those studies

and can we trust their veracity of methods and results?

I think, Brian, that they're almost all studies

that show correlations.
