GOP Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz, more commonly known as Dr Oz, is facing backlash from the medical community after his sustained attacks on infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci in his campaign ads.
Dr Oz, who was forced to end his multi-award-winning talk show The Dr Oz Show after he announced his candidacy on 30 November, recently called Dr Fauci a “petty tyrant”, as he challenged him to a debate on Covid.
Appearing on Newsmax last Thursday, Dr Oz said he wanted to debate Dr Fauci on vaccine mandates and natural immunity from coronavirus infections. “He is a petty tyrant. He got Covid wrong. He continues to get it wrong,” Dr Oz told the outlet.
In a separate tweet that he posted along with his campaign ad video, Dr Oz said: “It’s past time Fauci faces the fact that he got Covid wrong. So, doctor to doctor – let’s debate. This Doctor is in, are you?”
“Let’s get the facts straight here. You and me. Let’s have a debate, doctor to doctor, and give the American people the truth about Covid-19. I’m game. Anytime. Anywhere. Dr Fauci, are you in?” he added in the video.
In another video clip he posted along with an interview on Fox News, the Senate candidate said: “Doctors everywhere, including myself are fed up with the harmful outpouring of misinformation from Fauci being promoted by the media.”
Slamming him for the statement, Krutika Kuppalli, a member of the Covid-19 Technical Team at WHO, said: “I am a doctor and know many others who don’t agree with this statement. Those of us in medicine, particularly [infectious diseases] learned from the textbooks [Dr Fauci ] authored [and] used by students all over the world.”
“By ‘doctors everywhere’, he means a few doctors here and there who are willing to go against the Hippocratic oath and against science. The rest of us are with Dr Fauci,” said wellness physician Arghavan Salles.
Fred Guttenberg, who lost his daughter Jaime in the Parkland shooting, called Dr Oz “wrong” as he asked him to “go back to your reality TV show and your pathetic campaign”.
“Stop putting the lives of Americans in danger,” he tweeted.
“Please report this tweet as misinformation for health. We have to shut this quack down,” wrote another user.

Looks like when less than 1% of people die with the covid is just way to high for the liberals who sit on their pedestals. Be careful what you ask for liberals…it’s not what they are telling you.
What qualifies Fred Guttenberg, who lost his daughter in a mass shooting, to claim Dr. Oz is wrong?????? Is he a doctor????? Or just another American know-it-all.
The only pandemic in America is stubborn stupidity. And leftists are infected big time.
The “vaccine” is NOT a “vaccine” so quit calling it that.
And speaking of “pandemics,” this one was very lucrative to fauci’s bank account….. big time. (Just something else the leftists won’t talk about.)
CSUCH HYPOCRITES!!!!!
Shut down the one that called OZ a quack for slamming QUACK FAKECI and what does I lost a daughter to a shooting know about CHINESE/WUHAN. Two democratic morons. The other MORON from the WHO has about as much credibility as FAUCI MIN.
Dr Oz has it correct. Dr Faust with his $400000 Government Paycheck is wrong, See the Kings New Clothing said Biden. I will increase Social Security by $200 Says Biden ! I will give monthly Stimulus Checks on day one if you elect me says Biden ! See the Shots work with a booster they work with a another shot they work Stay home wear a mask, in a plastic bag. The Shots Don’t work. Take Care All Be Safe
Would love to hear a debate between these two for sure. What’s Fauci afraid of? Since when in history have we ever sensored other Doctors opinions, never, follow the money he’s a greedy tyrant that has committed crimes against humanity. It will al come out soon and all you people who have the experimental jab are going to regret you were Guinea pigs for this jab.
Watch out for Dr Oz ! He has sided with the Democrats and this scheme up until a month or so ago. What changed ? They plan on putting him in office to gain votes. Look who his friends are. This is just a fake wanna be Conservative to fool the people. Dr Oz has never sided with the American people until he decided to run for office. Don’t be fooled
