Oz changed his voter registration to his in-laws’ Pennsylvania home prior to the November 2020 election, from his New Jersey home where he and his wife have lived since 1985.
Oz has become known more recently as a proponent of questionable medical theories, practices and ideas, including — and most disturbingly — about COVID-19.
Oz once said that losing a small percentage of kids to COVID was a small price to pay for keeping schools open. That comment drew such outrage he was forced to issue a retraction. But how did a father of four and grandfather make such a statement — or even think it?
Oz has been criticized in the past for presenting conversion therapy as an acceptable treatment, positioning a representative of the discredited National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) as an “expert.”
And once pro-choice, Oz has now changed his position on abortion as well. The Daily Beast reported on Dec. 7 that “Oz claims to have seen up close what happens when women are forced to get unsafe abortions. But now that’s he’s running for Senate, he’s fine with overturning Roe v. Wade.”
