• MAGA Quack

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Thu Aug 25 03:26:54 2022
    Hello Everybody,

    The pain! The pain!
    109 *real* doctors in Pennsylvania call Dr. Oz a quack!
    As signed, sealed, and delivered to PoliticusUSA -

    We the undersigned doctors write with serious concern regarding the
    candidacy of Dr. Mehmet Oz for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat.
    As physicians, we strongly believe in evidence-based medicine and
    sharing honest health information with the public.

    As a former daytime TV host, Dr. Oz exploited the hopes and fears
    of his viewers by promoting unproven, ill-advised, and at times
    potentially dangerous treatments. He has made clear that he will
    put enriching himself above all else, even in instances where people’s
    health is endangered.

    Dr. Oz’s record of spreading misinformation and sharing factually
    incorrect medical advice on The Dr. Oz Show and otherwise is thoroughly researched and well documented.

    One 2014 study by the British Medical Journal found that half of the
    claims made on The Dr. Oz Show were not based in fact and researchers
    at Georgetown University found that more than 75% of recommendations
    made on Dr. Oz’s show “did not align with evidence-based medical guidelines.” When called before Congress to answer for this
    misinformation, even Dr. Oz himself had to admit that “oftentimes
    [the products I promote] don’t have the scientific muster to pass
    as fact.”

    Dr. Oz would also be another vote to criminalize abortion and he has
    refused to condemn efforts to ban abortion in Pennsylvania, endangering
    the lives of women and people who can become pregnant. He has even said
    that he opposes abortions in cases of rape or incest.

    Dr. Oz also disseminated dangerous misinformation throughout the COVID
    -19 pandemic. He promoted and defended unproven and possibly dangerous
    COVID-19 treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin when
    there wasn’t clear scientific consensus. He also said that COVID-19
    vaccines weren’t “true vaccines” like “classic childhood vaccines.” This is all deeply concerning.

    In 2015, ten physicians, including surgeons and professors, penned a
    letter to ​​Columbia’s Dean of Medicine saying they were “surprised and dismayed” that Dr. Oz was a faculty member at the university. The same
    year, eight Columbia faculty members published an op-ed in USA Today
    calling out Dr. Oz for “misleading the public” and forcing physicians
    like themselves to spend “a significant amount of our clinical time
    debunking Ozisms.” This year, Columbia University decided to cut ties
    with the former TV host.

    As a TV celebrity doctor, Mehmet Oz has displayed a shameful disregard
    for medical science and the wellbeing of his audience while he enriched
    himself at the expense of our patients. As physicians we take seriously
    our responsibility for the health and wellbeing of our patients.

    John Fetterman believes that healthcare is a fundamental human right,
    supports expanding access to affordable health care, protecting people
    with preexisting conditions, and would vote to codify Roe v. Wade into
    federal law. Protecting the health and wellbeing of our citizens
    requires that we elect John Fetterman to the US Senate this November.

    Sincerely,

    Physicians of Pennsylvania
