are just fine with republicans. If you are willingly going to kill 1.5 million children to get the economy going who knows what else you would do for a buck.

Since the Pandemic he appears to have moved to Fox which I never watch. Here is hoping he is relegated to the old and deservedly dying at Fox. Even a quack has to make a buck what better place and deserving audience to do it.

The Republicans are always tossing around offhand comparisons to the Gestapo, Nazis, the Holocaust, in general, when any Democrat supports something that, in the least way, might hypothetically impact more than zero Republicans' rights to do whatever the fuck they want, at any time, with no regard for anyone else but themselves. This suggestion by Dr. Oz on State TV, in contrast, hews very much closer to the mindset of the actual Nazi regime. "Dr. Oz's Final Solution", shall we say.

(1,288 posts)Listen to the CNN and Dr Gupta take on it. I think it said he meant the death rate would grow 2 or 3%. Very different number.
Not defending the statement. Just want to get facts straight.

Nobody knows what he meant to say and since what he did say and how he said it was offensive my any measure and he has not made a statement to correct any misunderstanding, I would say that Dr. Oz is an irresponsible hack at best.
