Columbia University Doctors Ask For Dr. Mehmet Oz's Dismissal
circletimessquare writes Dr. Mehmet Oz serves as vice chairman of Columbia University Medical Center's department of surgery. He is a respected cardiothoracic surgeon but his television show has been accused of pushing snake oil. Now other doctors at Columbia University want Dr. Oz kicked off the medical school faculty. Dr. Oz has responded on his Facebook account: "I bring the public information that will help them on their path to be their best selves. We provide multiple points of view, including mine which is offered without conflict of interest. That doesn't sit well with certain agendas which distort the facts. For example, I do not claim that GMO foods are dangerous, but believe that they should be labeled like they are in most countries around the world." In their letter, the doctors accuse Dr. Oz of quackery: "Dr. Oz has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops. Worst of all, he has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain."
I guess they are just jealous he is doing a better job at it.
I love Jesus, except for his foreign policy.
Yea, he should know better than to question the group think of everyone else. We should try and burn him at the stake like they wanted to Galileo, after all he questioned everyone else as well and look at what good that did for us.
Only ignorant people attack others for daring to question stuff that hasn't been fully studied.
I assume you are implying Jenny McCarthy is ignorant for not trusting the holy word of the state priests of the CDC bearing their eldritch sacramental vaccines and refusing to be cowed by the faithful masses' scornful cries of "heretic" and/or "feed them to the Sharkticons"?
