Ah, another link to an article on the self-serving website of the notorious quack Joseph Mercola. If only he had any credentials at all in epidemiology or virology. Or any credentials at all. Sure, he's a D.O. Just like 150,000 or so other osteopaths in the U.S.

Looks like he is selling books, not truth. Can't read the article unless I give an email address so he can send me junk.
I trust the FDA about as much as I trust CNN/ABC/*NBC/CBS etc.
I was going to say maybe someone should investigate Mercola, but then I figured why give this more attention.
Do you trust Fox? NY Post? They had to retract the lies they told about Kamala's book.
Maybe if there is any value to this whole mess, it should make us pause before we believe everything a doctor says just because he has been to medical school. There are lots of quacks and posers out there. Just like bad plumbers and bad car mechanics, there are plenty of bad doctors and plenty of conflicting opinions. Most suspect are those flogging a book or trying to advance a political agenda.
Re: Mercola, see:
Fox also retracted their lies about Biden taking away red meat. That's the good news. The bad news is that some of the other right wings 'news' outlets just let their lies stand, without retraction.
Most of us knew that already, since it's basic common sense. It's interesting that the quacks were generally trotted out by the far right as part of the Trump circus.
Moral for the Trump supporters: a doctor is not a doctor is not a doctor. Not all doctors know the same things. Scott Atlas may be an idiot, but he wasn't the only one.
Most suspect are those who are eager to speak outside of their area of expertise, especially when they so clearly contradict actual experts. It's easy to identify and ignore the quacks, but you have to want to.

Like Dr. Biden ?
Or any other PhD, EdD, or similar. You seem to think she's unique in using her title. If I had a buck for every arrogant PhD I've met who got his shorts in a twist if you didn't call him Dr., I could retire early.

Hey, I worked at a school district, king of titles...
They buy what they sell. A lousy teacher with a PhD makes almost twice as much as a great teacher with a BA.
She doesn't claim to have any medical knowlege. She DOES have her phd
- so she IS entitled to the title.
These right-wing looney Docs are like an electrical engineer criticising the design of a bridge or sewage system designed by a civil enineer, or the design of something designed by a mechanical engineer. Or any of them criticising a stationary or locomotive engineer's operation of fis boiler or train. after all, an engineer's an engineer' right?
That's a good one, but I've twice worked at The University of Michigan.

Funny we didn't see you saying that when Trump had a loon radiologist formulating Covid policy.
I've always worked for small companies without rigid hierarchical charts so I made up titles to fit the occasion. My brother was a VP of a major aerospace company. He explained they made him a VP because the clients feel special when they are talking to a VP and it was no big thing.
I think Harris has a much greater vision for her VP role.

It's now about 3X... The HR person at the time I started gave me the mantra, she was another great person the district lost.
If you can't do - teach. If you can't teach - become an administrator. If you can't administrate - become a superintendent. If you can't be a super - become a professor.
That's how Apple became a name. Flooded schools with whiz-bang graphics and low performing s/w & "networking". No thinking involved and if it broke you had one expensive source for parts.
