that even Darwin wouldn't approve of.

"no longer be allowed to remain “sick” without consequences"

WTF?? Beat the sick into wellness?? Is he saying illness is a psychological thing?

But it really has nothing to do with Darwin himself.

... for force-feeding arseholes like him and "Dr." Phil, and giving them legitimacy. Every other show was a charlatan. 😡

These two white men are responsible for their own descent into evil.

She promotes bs, like her latest, the miraculous himalayan salt diet.

And her great friend and world renowned astronaut Gayle King…. That fiasco sure died quickly didn’t it…. Many of these big celeb types are just as much charlatans as the rest.

And here I was thinking that Himalayan salt sh*t was AI generated, that she couldn’t possibly be hawking such blatant quackery. But I guess, what with Oz and Phil and the guy who wrote that fake autobiography about his rise from addiction, that I shouldn’t be surprised at all…

I agree that she sucks for platforming these 2 douches.

I'm pretty sure the miracle salt thing is total deepfake/AI bullshit. I've seen that video ad pop up on Youtube. It looks like it's not real. It reminds me of the fake Kelly Clarkson gummies weight loss crap.

while she did promote them, am sure there are/were more factors and people involved in the decision process made at that time. Also, sadly, fame and money affect people, you know, power corrupts and all that. Not many survive with their basic morals and humanity intact but some do I believe, or at least come back to it, just not enough people do that. She's an easy target for weight loss scammers.

I'm sure you all have noticed there are a sh*t ton of fake AI videos out right now by the way. If it surprises you it's probably a load of BS but worth doing due diligence on all, just to be sure, IMHO.

Those guys were on frequently, not just once, and both pseudo docs had their own shows thanks to her studio. She did indeed force-feed them to us and bankrolled them into stardom of sorts.

The woman has always bounced from one “great” idea to another, like a ping pong ball. I suspect having to pick her guests five days a week made her weirdly incapable of focusing on one thing for too long, but they were all the most fabulous, fascinating thing as she gushed and sold them to her fans.

Damn, even as a teenager, I was pissed that this crap is what replaced Phil Donohue.

I'm not defending her recent actions which SHE OWN's.

But it borders on 'look what you made me do' . She had an excellent talk show and she did what she needed to do to keep people engaged. It's business. It's not personal.

No one is blaming Fox news or MSNBC for Krasnov. But I'm old enough to remember him being allowed to call into Morning Scum (Joe) and get free campaign air time.

Racism.

Don't you think that's a little misplaced both-siderism? Yes you CAN blame Fox. MSNBC has tirelessly tried to expose the underbelly of the cons to the deafness of Magatville.

We aren't blaming black women for the behavior of rich white men. When the Regime falls - she's not bring treated the same way they are.

I was just commenting in general. As far as Oprah is concerned, I have been watching her platform really weird people since she started her show in Chicago. I used to think it was useful to expose the weirdos, especially the racist idiots she would host. Unfortunately, it seemed to have the reverse effect on our screwed up American populace. What should have been exposed and left in the fringes has moved mainstream. It's really sick. So at this point in time, I would blame her or anyone that gives these weirdos a platform knowing the end result.

They'd be boring other members of their local Lions Club, and playing lots of golf.

That her giving them an opportunity to excel - would be turned into an opportunity for evil?

She didn't. We didn't. I chose to call them both charlatans years and years ago. Especially Dr. Phil with his made-up conflicts for ratings. Jerry Springer was soooooooooo much better at that game.

She's not Candace Owens.

nt

they would be unknowns without national platforms on shows.

Without his Apprentice show, he never would have been elected president. And Oz would be a retired show biz guest.

and the producers should burn in Hell.

Oprah is an entertainer, and she had other entertainers on her show.

You can blame Oprah for having a show you don't like. You can blame her for promoting charlatans. But it's a stretch to blame her for Oz being made head of CMS.

The fault for that lies with Trump and RFK, Jr., who appointed Oz. And the fault for Trump and RFK, Jr. being in charge of our health care system? That's with the American voters.

Who was also foisted upon us via Oprah. With all her spiritual nonsense and then she ran for president. I will admit she would have been better than president putz

responsible for his tv show, and all the damage it caused.

but after she inflicted those hacks on us I absolutely DESPISE her

industries that are making us sick, start there. There are plenty of them.

How is a GD doctor so stupid??!!

is a brain surgeon. Being a doctor does not make one wise or honest.

For later....Nazi-style.

I already jump through more hoops and lose more of privacy because I have a monthly script (doable with 3 separate month scripts) for my pain meds. I figure before I'm planted, they'll try to strip those away from me. Woe be unto the person who has to deal with me with my lupus and fibro both flare up at the same time, especially when rain begins to approach the area and kick off the stenosis and arthritis in my spine. I will kill.... !

Seriously, tho... I worry about this. If they start to go all authoritarian on what drugs can and cannot be dispensed and for what, there's going to be a lot of violence and death in the country. I've done some research, and to taper off my Effexor med, it would take me close to a decade, and even then there are bad side effects for years once you're off it. Same with several of the SSRI's out there. I know what I'm like if I miss a couple of days of dosage, and you do not want to go through that. There aren't enough treatment centers anywhere to deal with all the people on SSRI's who'd be going thru withdrawals that could lead to suicides. I've also got meds that are being used off-label to treat my fibro. If they go full authoritarian, I"m assuming that the off-label use would no longer be allowed. It's damned scary, AFAIC. But I can hear the sound bites right now on PSA's... "Let go of that drug, and let God heal you!" Because by then we'll all be living in a theocracy, and this concept is right up their alley...

but it's ok to breathe dirty air, drink contaminated water, and live among the toxic waste deposited by industry.

... His malice and incompetence are on full display, and yet, he's still got a national platform from which to spew his lies, to the detriment of ALL Americans. His word-salad drivel isn't just annoying, it's potentially lethal. But then, that's why Trump appointed him. The malicious child calling itself KING wants to destroy the country, because he knows, as does anyone with the mental faculties of a potted plant, that he could never have won an honest election without cheating, just as he could never win at golf without cheating. And he resents the fact that everyone – with the exception of the brain-dead yahoos that still support him – knows that he's a fraud, a thief, and a pathological liar.
And the band played "Nearer my God to Thee".

What about fucking genetics, Dr. Oz? What kind of witch doctor are you?

Despite my husband's inheriting a bad heart, developing Type II diabetes, he made changes in his lifestyle with diet and exercise to starve off the effects of what would kill him in the end. I changed how I cooked to not only aid me in losing weight and keeping it off, but centered my lifestyle around his to increase his quality of life of life as well.

But after COVID, life changed for most of us. As life changed for millions of Americans despite medications and lifestyle changes. For Dr. Oz to heartlessly blame the sick for the problems we face today, is CRUEL. For he blames the disabled, the deformed, the elderly, etc.

Karma is a bitch Dr. Oz. There will come a day when you become sick! For she will not be merciful for the things you said about others.

Can just "deal" with cancer? Maybe instead of giving those kids chemo meds, they need to be out running around in the fresh air? That will totally kill the cancer.

His basic premise regarding children is not wrong. Understanding that many childhood illnesses are preventable or behavioral and that parenting or lack thereof does play a major role in childhood illness isn't wrong. He's also not wrong that diet and companies marketing garbage not food to children and parents is a major factor. However, as mentioned above already, the big money polluting industries and tech industries also are major contributors and we know they have no intention of reigning that in. But the major point I want to make, is the reason many children and families are stuck in a cycle of illness, generation from generation is socioeconomic, environmental and cultural. Families can't afford increasingly expensive healthy food, they don't have access to parks, they don't have basic nutritional information or accurate information of any kind, they don't have any idea how what positive parenting, behavior management and prosocial skills are and Oz along with the man behind the curtain do not want to acknowledge or address any of those things. (Who am I kidding they don't understand or know what those things are either.) Families often like to pathologize their children in order to mask overall family dysfunction, our government is doing the same thing.

Therefore, added together, he starts out right, ends up sadly wrong.

Not unless you have a track record of public service.

These rich assholes are so fucking out of touch.

The attitude of the people running our health care system (RFK, Jr, Oz, and their 20-something minions) is the following:

1. If you are sick, we can offer you weight loss drugs and an AI avatar nurse.

2. If those don't work, you're on your own.

3. "We" can't afford to spend a lot of money on you dreary poor people. Either get it together or die.

And scams them while he's doing it.

..it's NOT.

Holy shit, that entire crime syndicate is batshit insane.

Cheap processed food made addictive, no more air and water pollution regulations, starving funding for medical research, plus unfettered gun ownership would be a good place to start. And stop demonizing people who are ill, “DOCTOR”.

How complicit is he/are they in making health care unaffordable? Kids don't run around playing outside anymore because 'Faux and friends' have portrayed the nation being full of dangers. Plus parents are terrified their kids get hurt or sick because they can't afford medical insurance or 'copays, caps' and other bullshit. Oz can go fuck himself.

This rich -

I believe Dr. Oz is part of MAHA movement.

I have family members that are part of this movement and MAGA, also.

This is some of the crazy stuff they believe.

All disease is the result of diet and environment.
There is a secret cure for cancer that is being suppressed by the pharmaceutical industry.
COVID was manufactured in the lab.
They send me links to unproven cancer cures, like ivermectin.
Additionally, they refuse to be vaccinated.

In 1986, I was diagnosed with Crohns.
There are some people that are genetically predisposed to the disease (not diet or environment).
I was at greater risk of lymphoma, which I was diagnosed with 4 years later.
Lymphoma returned 2x in 2002 and 2019.

Unfortunately, there will probably be Americans who will not be better off with this quacks in government.

This: All disease is the result of diet and environment. Even Crohns, even cancer, even genetic disposition. I think it is probably safe to discount "all." But this is what environmental justice is all about. (And Biden's extraordinarily useful environmental justice map.) We know there are cancer clusters, asthma clusters, lead poisoning clusters, etc. around the country. We know this is the result of polluting industries carefully located in or near communities of lower socioeconomic means and we know the cycle of poverty can lock people into those environments for multiple generations. We also know American sociopathapitalists don't want to talk about that.

Asshole.

"The poors aren't working hard enough for my money!"

To them, every employee sick day is a day the billionaires aren't getting the wealth that working people earn for them.

Oh Yeah! Like the logical, intelligent parents who voted for probably some of the worst humans in existence.
"Here honey, be sure to eat your extremely high sugary cereal this morning before going to school and
take your delicious lunch..consisting of fat and grease...Yum yum!!

PLEASE get sick with something and then go to where he will be each day and cough/touch everything you know he will be touching.

PLEASE do this every day that you can. Save your old tissues and wipe down his door knobs and his car doors.

SHOW him that being sick is no joke and certainly nothing to politicize as an attempt to curry favor.

I agree with him that children are too obese, over-medicated,
and not active enough.

However, medical science is still a necessary part of life for
everyone.

What Oz is doing -- literally -- is throwing the baby out with
the medical bathwater.

He is a dangerous tool.

It was all their fault for getting sick and dying

In their view, the true tragedy is that the healthy were required to mask and vaccinate

The complications of obesity make up a big chunk of the medical costs in this country. Does he subscribe to the "let them die" approach? I would not be surprised at all. Anything to squeeze out a few more dollars for the rich.

Is he promoting any of his pills or snake oil like he used to? What a fast talking, scam artist he is. He is definitely a good fit for Trumpy.

Maybe Oz has perfect genes like you know who. Oh well Fuck'em both.

Sickening.

values their health and has the means is better off leaving.

Insane and idiotic comment. Typical of the people in the orange pedo presidents OPP administration.

Confiscate his assets. Strip him of his citizenship. Deport his ass to Somalia.
