Dr. Oz says it's the 'patriotic duty' of Americans to go without masks

I stopped listening to Dr. Oz when I realized what a scam artist he is. He'll say anything he's paid to say to sell useless weight-loss supplements (for one thing).

I agree completely. I really liked him at first and then he became a "Product Wh0re".....pushing "THE BEST DIET EVER! THE BEST SUPPLEMENT EVER! THE BEST VITAMIN EVER! ALL BETTER THAN THE BEST DIET/SUPPLEMENT/VITAMIN THAT I TOLD YOU WAS THE BEST LAST WEEK!"
 
I don't understand how buying masks that are available on the open market deprives medical professionals of badly needed masks. Really? Are they the same type of mask? I very much doubt it.

If they were the same, and the hospitals desperately needed them, and they were available on the Internet or wherever, what is stopping the hospitals from buying them?
 
And why do medical staff wear masks: to protect them from coughing, sick people--and why shouldn't I/we be protected the same way? There are sick people walking around out here and spreading the virus and flu, too, and I have a right not to get their secretions on me, too :sneaky: (y)...so I don't get sick or die ;)
 
Dr. Oz is not a quack and is still a practicing surgeon.
"Mehmet Oz has all the qualifications of a pre-eminent medical expert. He holds degrees from both Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, has authored numerous research publications, and is currently a professor and the vice-chair of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons."
That's a good resume.

Education does not automatically equal honesty, integrity or character. That is where Dr. Oz is lacking.

I agree. Dr. Oz moved to the New Jersey Palisades with a stupendous view of NYC. A long time resident, who lived next door, had his view blocked when the 'good' doctor planted very tall trees. Face to face pleadings and negotiations failed; the neighbor took Oz to court. The neighbor lost on a technicality.

I found this disgusting. You can Google it for further details if you wish.
 
Dr. Oz has done a lot of very good things in medicine, however, he is also self-serving and like win stated earlier, he has gone on record as selling various vitamins and endorsing several diet plans.

If I remember correctly, he is another TV star made famous by Oprah.
 
So who cares what Oz says. Hmmmmm. I thought the masks have to be the kind that nurses in hospitals wear otherwise they will not protect you as well. Maybe don't walk around with the coughing/sneezing people and you won't need a mask. I think I would lean towards WHO's advice as what protection we need.

Yes, him & Dr. McGraw (whose license to practice was suspended in several states due to "improper" relationships with patients).

That’s Dr. Phil, right? I never knew that.

Most people don't know because (like many celebrity adventures that weren't criminal in nature,) it was only revealed in a few articles, then the information somehow disappeared.

I think the masks prevent others from you and not the other way around. A surgeon wants to protect the patient from infection. Don't take that to the bank. That's just my thoughts.
