Dr Oz dropped by Columbia amid pro-Trump Republican Senate run – report

He's been a huge danger to public health,' says prominent medical ethicist Dr Arthur Caplan

The TV doctor Mehmet Oz's move into politics appears to have been a step too far for administrators at Columbia University, who have quietly purged his presence from their website as the Republican seeks to represent Pennsylvania in the US Senate.

For more than seven years, the private New York university has resisted calls to cut ties with Oz, a heart surgeon who has used his TV platform to push medicines ranging from ineffective diet pills to discredited Covid treatments.
