Once more, the social justice warriors and their propaganda and demagoguery!
The racist ideologues at the The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health did not even bother to mention the underlying causes:
"Left Out of Liver Transplants
Native Americans have the highest rate of death from liver disease in the U.S.—but they are less likely than other racial groups to secure a spot on the national liver transplant list, per an analysis by The Markup and The Washington Post.
By the numbers:
Compared with their total number of deaths from liver disease, white people are placed on the transplant list ~3X more often than Native Americans.
If transplant rates had been equal, ~1,000 more Native people would have received liver transplants between 2018–2021.
Driving disparities: With limited access to health services, Native Americans are often not diagnosed until the disease has limited their options.
An “epidemic” in Indian Country: Native Americans are 4X more likely to die from the disease than non-Hispanic White people.
It is the second leading cause of death among Indigenous men ages 35–44."
Would it not make more sense to address the causes:
"... These findings come as mortality from liver disease is climbing across the nation, hitting nearly 57,000 deaths in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Liver disease is commonly caused by obesity, hepatitis C, and alcoholism. Researchers have attributed the rise in mortality to increased heavy drinking during the pandemic, especially among young people. ..."
