It makes me sad when the extremes of both right and left wing ideologies converge upon quackery, conspiracy, and cults of personality. Thanks for hacking away at the corrosiveness of this man.

Would you say that RFK Jr pulls from these extremes for his base? Odd that he polls as a slight net negative for Trump actually

Personally, I rather attend a all day Kreb Cycle, Citric Acid Cycle or TCA Cycle or whatever they call it know. At least it would be something I understand.

Did the daily show comment? Unbelievable, but at the same time not. It happens more than you think.

I didn't reach out to them. They had their chance to research him.

Thank you Jen for writing about this MONSTER.

Frankly this is surreal on so many levels - where do you even start...'Bedside Man'...! The sheer ego this man must have. Thanks for bringing this to light. Shots fired!!

I love the whole „the healthiest people are unvacvinated ones, at least in first world nations“. I guess he doesn‘t travel much into the ahem less-well-off areas of these Untied States….and i suppose he hs no clue about herd immunity, since that is what is keeping the unvaccinated people healthy…What a joke of a „doctor“. He should have his license revoked. As for treating human birth like cow birth…vets tie chains around the calves‘ legs to pull them out… i suppose we need new delivery instruments…unbelievable!

Shame on him! Shame on The Daily Show!

“and i suppose he hs no clue about herd immunity, since that is what is keeping the unvaccinated people healthy”. Exactly. Some of us took one+ for the team.

I've tried to contact them but haven't been able to find the appropriate person who might have some power. What the hell is going on there? This MD and his preferences, etc., are disgusting and from another time and place all together: Holy Roman Empire post 1512. I'll keep trying to scorge them. Thanks for this eyeopener, Dr. Jen!

Thank you for chasing this. What a gross quack. And this was an easy person to VET, but The Daily Show failed to "due diligence" and a QUACK, a predatory QUACK, was given a platform to spout BS. It's just gross and aggravating. When it comes to vaccination, "Stupid kills." Anti vaccination quacks get people KILLED. I'm just utterly appalled by this. THANK YOU so much for chasing the INFORMATION on this charlatan.

So glad you called this out. I was floored when I saw the segment. I think this is the same guy who was “supervising” home deliveries in TOLACs, breech, and twins in Ventura county for a while.

Vet here. He’s wrong. We actually do need to induce labour in cows, sheep, horses etc. from time to time. We use prostaglandins and steroids.

I would have loved to see this with Jon Stewart. Not the first controversial guest on the show but I think Jon would have a thing or two to say. What a disgusting .....

Totally agree

You would think that checking the medical expert you have on your show is currently registered and has no charges against their registration is Research 101. Especially in this climate where high profile conspiracy theorists and other quacks have the public's trust in evidence based science and medicine at an all time low. Research 102 is if a medical doctor is touted and promoted by a variety of 'wellness experts', who believe the body can heal itself (as long as you pay them a lot for their service and advice) and if you don't heal then YOU haven't done the right thing, maybe give them a wide berth. Very poor form from The Daily Show

I would like to ask the doctor and the staff at the Daily Show, who think women should be compared to cows, if they would agree to be treated like horses, if they should break a leg.

You are way more productive than I am when I’m sick. Love you for this, and wish you a quick recovery. This a-hole just makes my blood boil.

People like that scar the profession. I hope you are feeling better.
