Bari Weiss-appointed Dr. Attia is in Epstein files1.7k times

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/celeb-doctor-cbs-news-contributor-121108421.html

"If you’ve been following the massive release of previously sealed documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, you’ve probably seen headlines about politicians, billionaires, and other big-name figures. But one name is causing a particularly strong reaction online: Dr. Peter Attia, a celebrity doctor and newly announced CBS News contributor who appears in the documents more than 1,700 times.

Attia, a 52-year-old longevity expert and host of the hit podcast The Drive, has been known for his science-backed approach to health and anti-aging. His recent appointment as a CBS contributor was positioned as a move to bring expert insight to national coverage.

Among the emails was a June 2015 exchange under the subject line "Got a fresh shipment", in which Attia wrote: “You [know] the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…” While some readers took the comment as tongue-in-cheek, critics quickly labeled it tone-deaf and inappropriate, especially given what Epstein was known for.

Another email from 2016 sparked even stronger reactions. In what appeared to be a joke framed around diet culture, Attia wrote: “P—y is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten, though.” Even in the context of health banter, the crude nature of the comment stirred outrage online and further fueled calls for accountability." (More)
