There is a screenshot of a false X post from a user with the username “@DoDeportations” that reads: “This is why every single medical worker lately has been Haitian or black They’ve all got fake degrees and they’re likely killing patients left and right The government MUST immediately revoke the licenses of everyone involved and investigate every single other school.” The post is a quote repost of another post that reads: "Feds break up $250M nationwide scam that sold fake nursing diplomas, targeted Haitian population"

All Black Medical Workers Do Not Have Fake Degrees

Claim

All Black medical workers, including Haitians, have fake degrees. 

Original Post

Fact

There is no evidence to support the sweeping claim that all Black medical workers, including Haitians, have fake degrees.

According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, Black people make up only 5.7% of all physicians in the United States, and they are 8.6% of nurses, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.

Isolated cases of qualification fraud do not invalidate the hundreds of thousands of Black people, including Haitians, who worked hard to become nurses and physicians.
