Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Öz, popularly known as ‘Dr. Oz,’ confirmed that he would end his role as a TV-based cardiothoracic surgeon to pursue a new political role as a US senator after recently relocating to Pennsylvania. The celebrity doctor’s newfound aspiration, coupled with his opinions about COVID, have raised eyebrows.
Dr. Mehmet Öz, a US Senate candidate for the GOP in Pennsylvania, took shots at the chief medical advisor to the US president and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci, during a recent appearance on “The Brian Kilmeade Show.”

“He’s a petty tyrant that has had all kinds of interactions with the media and uses them as allies to shut down dissent and debate,” Oz said of Fauci.

“This is just gross incompetence. I mean borderline malpractice that we don’t have solutions for Americans where their lives are being threatened,” Oz declared to host Brian Kilmeade.
