I can name without having to think too much many MDs as bad as Mercola (albeit not as fabulously successful at spreading health misinformation).

Don't they get some extra courses in quackery? Perhaps at some schools only? I know they are expected to be taught everything MDs are supposed to be taught. I agree there is way to many charlatans among MDs so you can't just make a point based on a few DOs.

Yes, all DOs schools are required to teach OMM. OMM is some mix of rebranded physical therapy and abject quackery. MD and DO are exactly the same from a patient standpoint in the us. Most DOs don't use OMM at all.pic.twitter.com/z3MqMAOf1z

Given my up-close-and-personal interactions with a certain DO who advocates for execution of doctors who perform pregnancy termination procedures, if I have any say in the matter, no DO is coming near me. High-profile DO's spouting gibberish simply reinforces my position.

And just to show that bad physicians could be anywhere, isn’t America’s Frontline Doctors MDs?
-
Most of them. I think one or two of them are DOs. IIRC.

New Yorkers have a very snobby attitude towards any medical practitioner without an M.D. in their title. P.A.'s, N.P.'s, etc., are all considered nothing in comparison by many.

midlevels are not remotely the same as DOs lol
