Oprah is a bullshit artist. She has always been a bullshit artist and she got rich peddling bullshit. Her efficiency promoting pseudoscience throughout her career makes her a blight on society, forever deserving scorn for the people she helped to hurt. We are collectively dumber because of her efforts, and she gets to live her life lavished by luxury and adulation as a result.
She is responsible for both Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. She could have literally been responsible for handing the senate over to the Republicans.
Fuck Oprah.
During the pandemic, Dr. Oz's private cardiac clinic in the US was handing out vaccine exemption notes to anyone who paid the fee. There was no physical examination, just a questionnaire, and you didn't need to be one of his actual patients. No referral from your family doctor was necessary either and no need to provide your medical records. It was a complete and utter scam. How do I know? Because I literally called his clinic to follow up on a bullshit exemption claim and they told me their process.
She also gave a lot of attention to vaccine skepticism by making Jenny McCarthy seem like a medical expert on Autism.
I mean she literally pushed this with a straight face

She's an entertainer. Who cares.
What an incredibly dumb statement to make in the comment section of an article about her literally leaving the board of a major company. "Just an entertainer" holy shit.
Yeah, and Michael Jordan owns restaurants. Who cares about Oprah.
