DR OZ ; NOT A MAINSTREAM VAXX ADVOCATE
Anti-Vaccine Stance
The medical world has reacted negatively to Dr. Oz’s remarks on vaccines. He openly questioned the safety of vaccines and promoted alternate immunization regimens that went against official medical advice
He opposed vaccinations for three main reasons:
Suggesting a link between vaccines and autism, a claim debunked by scientific research.
Promoting delayed or spaced vaccination schedules.
Featuring anti-vaccine advocates on his television show.
His acts were deemed damaging by experts. Oz’s opinions were deemed “irresponsible and unsupported by science” by Dr. Paul Offit of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Vaccine Education Center, as reported in The Scientific American.
