I now shall explain.<\/p>\n<p>Oz is a medical doctor. He made a name for himself by becoming a TV personality. His face is everywhere. I cannot testify to the quality of his medical practice; for that matter, I don\u2019t know if he even still\u00a0<em>has<\/em>\u00a0a practice where he examines patients and does doctor-related tasks.<\/p>\n<p>He is running as a Republican. He also is a known skeptic of the COVID-19 virus\u2019s seriousness. He also has been critical of the vaccines that have been released to vaccinate Americans against the virus. That qualifies Oz, in my view, as a certified member of the crackpot cabal of the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s one more thing I want to point out. I believe he borders on medical quackery. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, some years ago I heard him shilling for a product that was supposed to cure people of some ailment. Then he dropped the word \u201cmiracle\u201d in his description of the product. He said that the results were a \u201cmiracle,\u201d meaning that there is no Earthly explanation for why it does what it does.<\/p>\n<p>I am no doctor, but no doctor I ever have heard has used the word \u201cmiracle\u201d to describe a scientific procedure. By its very nature, science is predicated on knowledge of cause and effect.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, for a medical doctor to use a term such as \u201cmiracle\u201d to describe a medicinal product to my mind smacks of someone who is peddling some version of snake oil.<\/p>\n<p>This clown doesn\u2019t belong in the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mehmet Oz wants to be elected to the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania in 2022, which by itself shouldn\u2019t cause any great shakes for little ol\u2019 me out here in North Texas.
