          Really excited for "Just Believe In Science!" to be a thing conservatives vindictively employ to demolish any public conception of human health while Liberals just hem and haw and try to blame Bernie Sanders.

          Is Dr. Oz going to be any worse than the two losers currently holding the respective seats?

      Same. My mom gets incredibly defensive every time I ask "Did you hear about this from Dr. Oz?", when her health tips start drifting into the bizarre. She's completely addicted to television, and its annoying as hell to get her to listen once she's had some bullshit pounded into her head for hours on end.

      Dr Oz doesn't even make money on endorsements for the products he promotes. Which leaves his viewers to go off on their own and be scammed by people selling green coffee beans for $50 a lb for weight loss.

      The whole Dr Oz persona/grifting operation is geared towards expanding his syndicated show to more and more markets and selling books, while limiting his exposure legally to any products he recommends. It is a high level grift.

    If it's any consolation. He's running as a Republican but not an explicit anti-vaxer so he's probably gonna lose.

        But he's also a Turkish citizen and served in their army, bit of a hard sell in the primary
