'Dr.' Oz thinks it is 'very appetizing' that 2-3% children will die if US schools are opened

[deminks]

DR OZ: "Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3%, in terms of total mortality. Any, you know, any life is a life lost, but ... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

So, they are not just gonna let us old people die, they are going to eat the dead children?

O brave new world that has such people in it.

1. "That might be a trade-off some folks would consider"

I'm sure the pro life folks will be 100% on board with this ghoulish prospect.

Ghouls: Hey! Unlike Dr. Oz, we have some scruples, dude!

[lagomorph777]

10. Saw him doing this. What a fucking cannibal.

[milestogo]

22. Yeah, he just gave it away with that really poor choice of words.

[ahoysrcsm]

39. No, the anti-abortionists are current'y circulating a meme.

Showing the deaths of covid-19 vs all other from Jan 1 2020 to Apr 15 2020. It shows abortion deaths at 10 Million.

They don't care about life only stopping abortions.

[kysrsoze]

19. This is the asshole who actually came up with the Hydrochoroquine "theory" on Faux, which Dump then

ran with. It was Oz's stupid, nonsensical, unsupported notion to begin with.

[essme]

3. What the HELL is wrong with these people???

I work in a large middle school- around 1300 kiddos. So, we would only "lose" about 26 of them???

Dr. Oz needs to stfu

[lagomorph777]

11. Well, yeah, and a much larger number of their parents and grandparents

and other random people in the neighborhood...

[gratuitous]

13. You can just see Gen. Buck Turgidson, can't you?

[GeorgeGist]

4. If that sick fuck still has a Medical license ...

it should be revoked with extreme prejudice.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. First, Do No Harm

He must have forgotten that part. How a doctor could forget it is quite the mystery, though.

[Rorey]

9. He's to the medical field what Dr. Phil is to the field of psychiatry

They've both just turned into celebrity "doctors". Can't be taken seriously, and often do more harm than good.

[lame54]

5. Just like Jonathan Swift

[MFGsunny]

14. Pardon me, but "appetizing" to me right now looks more like ...

... well, y'know, more like an industrial-size tree-limb shredder with some need-not-be-named total idjots running through them.

I'm ashamed of myself - but only a little, to be honest.

[NightWatcher]

15. Did he address how many would die because the little vectors spread it further?

How many grandparents, parents, cousins, friends, teachers......?

[Disaffected]

16. He seems

as crazy as Dr. Dump.

[John Fante]

17. 1-2 million children would die in this scenario. Appetizing? Yeah, to Albert Fish.

[Submariner]

18. republican Death Panels !!! Calling Sarah Palin.....

I heard her talk a lot about the tragedy of people dying from Obama death panels, so I'm sure she will be addressing the Trump Death Panels anytime now.

[jmowreader]

20. They call him "America's Quack" for a reason

[Initech]

21. I'm not sure who is the most disgusting person in that video - him or Hannity?

Hannity definitely deserves the "most punchable face" award in 2020.

[sarcasmo]

23. Not a Doctor, proving it on a daily basis.

[nsd]

33. Well, he is a doctor.

More precisely, a cardiothoracic surgeon (https://columbiasurgery.org/mehmet-c-oz-md-facs).

But, as Ben Carson and Rand Paul also demonstrate regularly, one shouldn't be taken in by credentials. Expertise in doing one thing doesn't translate into general capability.

[USALiberal]

24. 2% increase of all deaths I assume, not kids. Nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Exactly. OP doesn't read carefully. 2-3% overall is bad enough. Don't have make fake headlines

... to expose the fraudulent "doctor".

He seems to have forgotten the "do no harm" part of his oath.

[StatGirl]

35. Gee, why spoil everyone's good dudgeon with an accurate interpretation of what was said?

(Yes, that is sarcasm.)

[USALiberal]

36. :-)

[spanone]

25. A reality show doc at best.

[dalton99a]

26. A 2014 study found that of the 479 health recommendations given on The Dr. Oz Show,

only half of them were actually supported by evidence.

[Polly Hennessey]

27. Well, Mr. Oz, I would gladly trade

you off for the 3 to 4 percent children you so cavalierly toss into the statistics bin.

[csziggy]

28. Dr. Oz is one of the reasons I will never watch Oprah

She inflicted this asshole on the world.

[samsingh]

29. republican death watch party

honestly these people are horrible sick assholes. they use abortion as a wedge issue but really don't give a crap about any life but their own.

oz has been flaky. i never realized he was this evil.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Grim Reaperpublicans. . . nt

[42bambi]

30. OMG. He needs to go back to the jungle, he'd fit right in.

[Takket]

34. geez... the rethugs aren't even trying to hide how upset they are about not seeing piles of

dead kids on TV from school shootings..............

there about 50 million kids in the public school system. 2% of that is a million...........

to be clear........... Dr. Oz, and the rethugs, are advocating for a second Holocaust.

[jmg257]

37. What a...

[Flaleftist]

38. So what would he consider unacceptable?

3-4%, 4-5%, 8-9%? 15-20%?
