It’s always been rampant clownery from these celebrity doctors. Hell, I first dubbed @DrOz “America’s Quack” in 2014. It’s just that we noticed more now because of the pandemic. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/05/14/americas-quack-dr-mehmet-oz/ …https://twitter.com/WFKARS/status/1345380427457032192 …

2014 is the year I first became a published writer, so I got to it as quick as I could!

And I've only seldom been published in mainstream outlets, having been content mainly to blog and not really having been offered the opportunity very many times. I sometimes wonder if that means I'm just not that good a writer.

There were a few who were doing it before I noticed, too. (Steve was doing it in 2007, at least.) It's just that celebrity doctors have always been dodgy at best, too prone to sensationalism and simple answers, and quacks at worst.https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/heart-and-soul-–-but-no-mind/ …

I'll close with a post I wrote 12 years ago, when I included Dr. Oz among the members of the Four Horsemen of the Woo-pocalypse, the others being Andrew Weil, Dean Ornish, and Mark Hyman, all of whom Sen. Tom Harkin brought to testify before his committee.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2009/03/03/senator-tom-harkin/ …
