The Dr. Oz Show host has since apologized, saying he he “misspoke” when he minimized the risk and potential loss of life.

The TV doc faced backlash for saying on Hannity that schools should reopen to get the country going again — as that “may only cost us 2 to 3 percent in terms of total mortality.” He said those deaths “might be a trade-off some folks would consider.”

I’ve realized my comments on risks around opening schools have confused and upset people, which was never my intention. I misspoke. pic.twitter.com/Kq1utwiCjR DR OZ:"Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3%, in terms of total mortality. Any, you know, any life is a life lost, but ... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider." 😳 pic.twitter.com/aifMeKTsIv

TV Doctors cater to the ratings not to the oath they have sworn to uphold. They are showboat entertainer’s much like our POTUS.

I don’t care if he apologized. The population of the United States is just over 328 million, so to lose 2-3% of the population would mean anywhere between 6.56 million and 9.84 million deaths. That is an unacceptable amount of deaths.

This is garcinea all over again for him.

Dr. Oz can stick his apology in his ear.

Wow, Let him work at one of NY hospital covid-19 unit.

FAKE DOCTOR! THE REAL DR. OZ HAS COME FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN! His colleagues are fighting and getting sick, and he’s making the talk circuit.

He can apologize all he wants but what he said is actually what he believes.

Idiot

Hes a total idiot and should not be allowed to be giving medical advise to anyone. Replace him with a real doctor who actually cares about people. Hes another phony like Bill Nye

Save it you clown, go ahead back to Fox news and get paid to say what they want you to say. Snake oil salesman

We all say things that we don’t really think about, he usually show more empathy towards people.

What if that 1 or 2 % were your grandkids?!

Take away his medical license.

No. DrOz simply excused himself. He did NOT apologize. His license should be revoked!

Not good enough DrOz

Asssssswipe

Over and done with this dumb ass. He knew where he was going and purposely said it. So, stick to it. Punk

HACK!

Yes and the trade off could mean life or death. Not mine. My child means too much to his me and his dad

These people continue to prove, time and time again, that they do in fact belong in the 'basket of deplorables' Hillary Clinton mentioned. If you're a Republican in the Trump era, you're definitely lacking empathy.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE TRUMP ERA OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!! LIKE 'EVERYTHING TRUMP TOUCHES DIES ' (A RICK WILSON BOOK) AND I'M SURE HE DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!!!!

And the horse he rode in on.....pfffht. Quack Quack

He knows a lawsuit was coming

He used a poor choice of words and it’s good he apologized.

He didn’t apologize. He was sorry if people misunderstood. That’s placing blame on others and not accepting responsibility for his own words.

Fuck this dude.

Bad bedside manners.. he is not wrong The sooner who relize that the clearer the picture becomes.. Some people cant handle the truth
