Dr. oz says 2 to 3 percent of America's children dying of covid-19 is ok. No wonder school shootings

[Augiedog]

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.

1. trump would do anything for a buck that his pay to play girlfriends would

but whem trump wets the sheets it might be an accident

2. It makes sense

that he would say something insane like that! I don't know much about him but even his Wikipedia page calls him out as a nut.

Dr. Oz, is a Turkish-American[2][3] television personality, cardiothoracic surgeon, Columbia University professor,[4] pseudoscience promoter,

3. This statement should consign his medical license

to the shredder.

4. My wife is a Today Show addict.

Oz the piece of shit was showing up a couple months ago on the Today Show which surprised me. My wife informed me that happens from time to time. 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.

5. These people didn't give a damn about the millions killed by cigarette smoking, toxic air,

poisoned water and unhealthy foods for generations. More recently they've been more than willing to overlook the death toll from overprescribed opioids. They don't even care about the destruction of our entire planet. They have always put profit over people.

6. Until it happens to THEM, then it's the fault of a librul.

7. The Jewish portion of Hitler's Final Solution sacrificed approximately the same percentage...

...of Europe's pre-WWII population.

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.

8. He actually read that stupid statement, which was for the entire population - 6-10 million people

He's obviously insane.

[lapfog_1]

9. "Do no harm"... Oops!

[Shanti Mama]

10. I'm no fan, but this is not what he said

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.

[MontanaMama]

11. 2-3% mortality of the total population is

higher than 2-3% of school children. Or maybe he meant that the death rate would grow 2-3% higher than what it is now. 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.

[Shanti Mama]

13. I agree. He's an irresponsible hack.

I just always want to get facts as right as possible. I don't like the other side being able to claim that we're lying or overstating things.

[MontanaMama]

14. Gotcha.

[CanonRay]

12. It won't be the children and grandchildren of the rich and powerful who die.

That 2-3% will come from among the poor and people of color. That's what makes it ok with these people. Are Ivanka's kids going to die? Fuck no.
