Pennsylvania docs here - ready to drop more 411 about charlatan & ethically-challenged NJ resident, Mehmet Oz. Since the media hasn't.

Doctors everywhere find Oz detestable. In this 3rd truth bomb, we're gonna bring more receipts.

A thread.

We all like our doctors to be caring and supportive, right?

Well, when Oz decided to run for Senate, he abruptly cancelled his show w/ no warning & screwed his staff - leaving them stranded. He didn't care. No loyalty.

Think he'll care about us?

Using his show to promote antivaxxers? check!

He offered a platform to Jenny McCarthy, one of the most strident antivaxxers, who dangerously (and wrongly) claims a connection between vax and autism - shown wrong in MANY large studies.

Oz promoting dangerous COVID19 misinformation? Check!

He offered a platform to awful Dr. Joe Mercola, a lifelong quack, who said:

flu vax makes COVID spread more (wrong)
COVID vax screws up your DNA (way wrong)

misinfo that, sadly, kills.

Remember Cambridge Analytica? The shady data company that was shut down after they were caught with our personal facebook data without consent to push GOP messages?

Yup, Oz was a fan and did ads for them! Why would a doc care about internet political psyops, mmm?

And then.... there is a foreign influence issue. We'll devote an entire thread to this.

Oz kept hidden that he had a NJ condo housing a Turkish nationalist Necmiye Kacaroglu - an adamant denier of the #armenian genocide by Turkey

Why so secret?

so much more to tell about this guy

and you know what? We are gonna tell it.

More tomorrow and EVERY DAY until the election. There is THAT MUCH to share about Oz.

We're doctors, and we're staying on the case.

To make it easy for you, we've added to prior two TRUTH BOMBS here and in next tweet:

here's yesterday
(9/10)

and here's the original truth bomb, with over 800k impressions (seems like people care about their Senate candidates, and can ya blame them?)

(10/10)

And by the way, we've received some hate messages (and physical threats!).

Here's the deal: we are docs who took on COVID19, who work under crazy stress, & combat misinfo every day.

We aren't scared of anyone; when a "doc" tarnishes our field, we won't be silent.
Our physician thread on Oz might be of interest to @robreiner @MarkRuffalo @AVindman @jaketapper @lindyli
@glennkirschner2 why hasn't Oz been legally investigated for FARA violations?

Yowza.

Our first well-sourced deep dive into the history of Mehmet Oz had >800k impressions & 11,900 likes. You know what THAT means?

We doctors are gonna do it AGAIN. There is much to tell about Oz & the media isn't doing it.

So we will.

A new thread.

Oz was all about "magic" cures. In the debate, he said it was just ads for his show, not HIS words.

Nuh-uh. It WAS his words.

Miracle cures from green coffee beans... probiotics... others.

John Oliver delivers the goods. With receipts.

(3/8)

The green coffee beans that Oz raved about? Yup. All flim flam.

So bad that the FTC filed charges against sellers for deception & bogus claims.

Oz never apologized, and never retracted his words. Millions of $ of sales.

Physicians in PA would like to tell the public a few things about Mehmet Oz.

Things that haven't been reported in the press enough, but should matter to all of us.

A thread.

Did you know Oz has had MAJOR financial conflicts of interests with pharma, including opioid manufacturers?

Example: remember the drug that didn't work for COVID19, known as hydroxychloroquine? Yeah, he made money from that and kept it on the DL.

not good for a doctor.

Did you know that Oz has had so many ethical lapses that his medical colleagues at Columbia wrote a letter protesting his affiliation? And that Columbia eventually dropped him?
