"Black population experienced an infant mortality rate of 10.8 followed by people from Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander populations at 9.4 and American Indians at 8.2.
The non-Hispanic White and Asian populations in the United States have the lowest IMR at 4.6 and 3.6, respectively, as of 2018"
As I said, ethnicity is one of the causes but there are other things at play. That could be the case with the US but what about the other countries? Greece has no blacks.
Then compare Greece with the US controlling for blacks. Or compare Greece to US states that are mostly white, such as Vermont or Maine.
I'm sure you can find the datasets, which are public data, somewhere on the internet.
Either way, I'm telling you that if you take out the blacks, the US is not an outlier for infant mortality. It has neither low, nor high, infant mortality.
Putting US aside, my question was why countries without black population and high vaccination rate experience high infant mortality? This means ethnicity is not the main driver of infant mortality.
Yes, you can control for race. That's why you see studies like this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8870826/
