In 2020, a study was published - and instantly went viral - claiming that black babies are three times more likely to die under the care of a white doctor than a black one. That study was picked up by every major media outlet, cited by a SCOTUS Justice, and pushed by the World Economic Forum. It turned out to be a lie - and now, thanks to the author's own notes, we know why.
Meanwhile, a dad in Georgia was arrested after leaving his three young children alone at a McDonalds to attend a job interview. He was immediately championed by the left as an example of systemic racism and bias against working parents.
Turns out he was lying.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
