Yes, it was him... on Faux News, of all places. President Assface saw him on Faux bullshiting about it and latched onto it.

what he said is bad enough. He said that total deaths would increase by 2 to 3 percent, but gave no reason as to why that number would be correct. That would be well over 1000 deaths closer to 2000.

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."

Wonder if this would work also:

Criminal acts under color of law include acts within and beyond the bounds or limits of lawful authority.


Seems to fit damn near everything he has done.
