A Boston doctor says it's 'long past time' for Oprah to acknowledge how she helped make Dr. Oz who he is, and 'make some attempt to stop the damage he's causing"

Oprah Winfrey should speak out against Mehmet Oz as he tries to get a Senate seat, according to the Daily Beast.

Oz would have played out his career as a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon if it weren't for Oprah.

According to the Daily Beast, Columbia University's medical school has distanced itself from Oz, who has been criticized by medical experts for promoting false medical advice on his show.

Oz was a health expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show for a number of years before he got his own show.

NBC News reported that in 2020 Oz promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug, despite lack of evidence and concern among medical experts.

According to the New York Times, the British Medical Journal analyzed 80 medical recommendations on Oz's show and found that less than half had been supported by evidence.

It has been a long time since Winfrey acknowledged her role in making him what he is, and made an attempt to stop the damage he is causing by repudiating him, according to Summers.

Oz announced his candidacy for the US Senate in Pennsylvania and his show was canceled. During his presidency, Donald Trump promoted false coronaviruses cures.
