Even in 2022, the degree of missing data on race and ethnicity in federal Covid-19 databases was still simply too high. In a national dataset of more than 50 million Covid-19 cases assembled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 17 million did not have race/ethnicity data. That’s 34% of cases. By comparison, just 1% of cases were missing data on age and sex.

All pregnant people should have a right to seek care in an emergency department if they believe they are experiencing a medical emergency.

Even after being hospitalized for an entire week, my friend Aidan never got an answer to a major question:Â Who is my doctor?

So while COVID-19 is not a story about race, it is a story about racism. One that judges bodies of color as preordained sources of disease and menace—dangerous even down to their DNA. It is the same gaze that indicted George Floyd as a worthy target of violence even as he was handcuffed, helpless, unable to breathe.

How do racial associations in medical board licensing exams train doctors to pay attention to race in problematic ways?

Despite having conducted numerous speculum exams, the medical student had yet to submit to her own first pelvic exam. In college, she had been sexually assaulted in her dorm room, and the idea of the exam brought up ferocious anxiety, metallic bile, fear, and refusal.

I was flabbergasted — stunned that one can claim any semblance of expertise on the sickness and grief of millions of people, thousands of years, uncountable stretches of sinew, land, faith and life using just fragments of sentences and sense.

Michael Brown is one of many victims systemic racism has claimed, and until doctors acknowledge the position of medicine within institutional racism, our health care system will continue to reproduce tragedies like Ferguson, even in the absence of a smoking gun.
