1. Whatever.

Oz showed us who he is by saying what he said AND talking to Hannity.

[hlthe2b]

3. He's referred to on twitter as Dr. Oz-Mengele and frankly, I think what he said qualifies

[Takket]

2. Apologies suffice when you call someone a name or

Call them by accident.

This guy was openly advocating for a Holocaust with our children to be the first victims.

we are WAY WAY past apologies.

[CTyankee]

4. OK. Now shut up and GO AWAY!

[targetpractice]

5. Steve Schmidt had the ultimate response to this...

"Sorry Oz, once you put the we can lose three percent of the school children on the table for debate you take yourself out of the solutions business. I have to ask, . Those eyebrows are sculpted ? Does he ask for the Ming the Merciless look at the salon?"

[crickets]

[Goonch]

10. INSTANT FACE MASK

[Butterflylady]

11. He was playing to a fox audience

Confused my a**. He knew dam well what he was saying would go over big with magas.

[beachbumbob]

12. his arrogance was intentional, so screw him

[mokawanis]

13. No, Oz, your comments didn't confuse anyone

but you're right in recognizing that your comments upset people.

[Mariana]

14. FTR, I don't think he meant 2-3% of the school children should die.

I think he meant the deaths of 2-3% of the entire population would be acceptable to him, with the school children being vectors to infect everyone else.

[solara]

22. 2-3% of the entire population?

That is a completely obscene idea. Whether or not they are children, they are still PEOPLE.. human beings with lives and souls and loved ones, and dreams and goals .. We cannot, absolutely must not normalize any part of the cold & heartless willingness of the #trumpCult to allow a few hundred thousand deaths to make the economy strong again.

How callous and mean spirited of "Dr" Oz.. 0% is the only acceptable percentage of deaths from this debacle.

[Mariana]

24. Who the heck knows what he really meant?

It sure sounded to me like he meant it's just dandy if 2-3% of Americans die. Other people think he meant 2-3% of school children dying is acceptable to him. He says he meant neither. But if he's so pathetically bad at expressing himself, such that almost everyone "misunderstood" him, then he shouldn't be running his gob in front of a TV camera, about anything, ever.

[solara]

31. Hear! Hear! n/t

[tblue37]

28. Actually, I think he meant the overall death toll would increase by 2%-3%. nt

[honest.abe]

15. I dont think a quickie vid apology can take back that incredibly ignorant and heartless comment.

If he only had a brain!

[Blue Owl]

16. Pay no attention to the man in front of his curtain

n/t

[Bantamfancier]

17. Oh, thank goodness he misspoke.

I was sure he was just kidding.
What an asshole.

[Bradshaw3]

20. First "Dr." Oz and now "Dr." Phil weighing in

Idiots both. Thanks Oprah.

[EarthFirst]

21. That's what happens when you play a doctor on television...

You are injecting opinion into your “diagnosis” of the solutions to the problems.

[Solly Mack]

23. Dr Ooze is blaming others for his remarks.

It wasn't what he said that caused the problem - per his recent comment - it's that you were confused by what he said. It was that confusion that caused you to be upset. Not him.

Shitheels always claim they misspoke when they say something contemptible and get called on it.

[Gothmog]

26. DR. Oz is an idiot

[ooky]

27. Go live on Fox where you belong. Take Phil with you.

I have zero interest in the RW opinions of either of you.

[Caliman73]

29. Bullshit! You peddle useless and potentially dangerous "remedies" and now this?

I am of the ilk that did not take Oz's statement to mean that he was okay with 2%-3% of children dying. It was clear that he was saying that according to whatever stats he was looking at, opening the schools would add 2%-3% to the total death rate, so a death rate of 100,000 people would be augmented to 2,000 to 3,000 more. THAT is HORRIFIC enough for me, plus, that is probably a bullshit projection. The infection rate is not 1:1, if kids are allowed to go to school before we have massive testing, tracing, and isolation, then we would be looking at our kids potentially going out, picking up the virus, and spreading it back at home. The infection rate would not remain low.

Whatever Oz is today, at one point he was a medical doctor. He took an oath to "do no harm". He obviously abandoned that oath some time ago when he began pushing stupid remedies on his show and sold his authority for profit. This statement was callous and just wrong, and he did it either for ideology, for profit, or for notoriety. It is disgusting and there should be a heavy price to pay.

[MFGsunny]

30. Of course you meant every word, Oz! Your "apology" is a fraud.

You knew EXACTLY where in TV land you were. AND, you knew exactly the bidding you were doing to an audience of ONE.

Maybe we can edit that old SNL line :: "__________, you ignorant slut."
