Go AWAY, Dr. Oz. Go back to tabloid TV. Few sensible people care how much snake oil you "prescribe" on there.

(1,668 posts)It would be shameful if he ran as a Democrat.
2nd. This guy was appointed by a man an a party which thinks the President should be able to fire anyone in the government. Apparently he shouldn't be removed from positions that actually do serve at the discretion of the President.
Why does every little display of performance art by Republicants leave me feeling like Innego Montoya.

(102,225 posts)NEW YORK (AP) Columbia University has not removed TV celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz from his faculty position as a group of top doctors has demanded, citing his egregious lack of integrity for promoting what they call quack treatments.
Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, said a letter the 10 physicians sent to a Columbia dean earlier this week. They say hes pushing miracle weight-loss supplements with no scientific proof that they work.
The New York Ivy League school responded Thursday, issuing a statement to The Associated Press saying only that the school is committed to the principle of academic freedom and to upholding faculty members freedom of expression for statements they make in public discussion.
Oz first came to public attention as a frequent television guest of Oprah Winfrey. For the past five years, hes been the host of The Dr. Oz Show.
Oz was not reachable Thursday night at his Columbia office number, which played a recorded message explaining how callers could get tickets to his TV show.
Led by Dr. Henry Miller of Californias Stanford University, the doctors sent the letter to Lee Goldman, dean of Columbias Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine. The nine other doctors from across the country included Dr. Joel Tepper, a cancer researcher from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and Dr. Gilbert Ross of the American Council on Science and Health in New York City.
The doctors wrote that Oz, for years a world-class Columbia cardiothoracic surgeon, has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain. They said he has misled and endangered the public.
Last year, Oz appeared before a U.S. Senate panel that accused him of endorsing products that were medically unsound. At the time, Oz acknowledged that some of the products he advised his viewers to use dont have the scientific muster to present as fact.
A show representative did not immediately return a call Thursday from the AP seeking comment.
As vice chairman of Columbias surgery department, Oz still occasionally teaches, said Douglas Levy, spokesman for the Columbia University Medical Center.

I hope he tries to get in his office tomorrow morning. He'll find out what "terminated" means.

In essence, he was told, "Either resign now or consider yourself fired. Your choice."

I Can't believe DeJoy is still at the USPS........for an example........
The thing is, that if the Fascist Republicans of America have their way, all these ******** will be back at their jobs and directed by Trump or DeSantis or what's his **** down in Texas....................
And, most of it could take place immediately after this upcoming corrupted election if the House and Senate get the majority.
The Republican House can dream up some reason for impeachment, and the Senate can try and impeach Biden, and out he goes.......
They wouldn't even have to wait for 2024, and can install what ever asshole they decide on as President, and quickly pass laws that don't limit the constitutional term limits of the presidency......

(17,984 posts)Members he put forward. The board has to fire DeJoy.
The new USPS bill just was signed by the President will change a lot. Retirees will sign up for Medicare, ending that 50 year in advance that a Republican Congress passed.

1. Fauci isnt on the fitness and nutrition council.
2. Fauci doesnt promote or peddle quack nutrition things.
3. Have you ever given refunds or paid restitution to everyone you scammed and cheated over the years?
4. Youre a load of worthless green coffee extracts.
