Dr. Oz Forced to Correct Trump on Live TV
CBS News MAGA health goon Dr.
Oz was cornered into admitting that his boss was wrong about the MMR vaccine during an awkward interview showdown.
The physician-turned-mouthpiece spoke with host Margaret Brennan on Sunday’s Face the Nation , and was faced with a video of Trump’s vaccine misinformation from earlier this month.
“Three separate vaccinations taken at separate times.
Together there could be a possibility they’re quite lethal, and separately it looks like they are not at all lethal but just very effective.
So the MMR we want to have separate visits, separate times,” Trump said of the inoculation —which is administered “together” in one shot.
Asked whether he wanted to “clarify” Trump’s claims of lethality, the Trump-appointed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator first sat on the fence.
“We want patients to get the treatments that their doctors are recommending to them.
We also want parents to have the autonomy to decide what their kids receive,” he recited.
“On the MMR vaccine specifically?” Brennan asked, with Dr.
Oz sidestepping: “On all the vaccines.
My job is to—” Brennan interrupted, and questioned a second time: “But he said it was the MMR vaccine, he used the term lethal.
That’s what I’m asking you to clarify.” Dr.
Oz avoided the question again, opting for a form of revisionist history, given Trump’s well-documented vaccine conspiracy theories.
