World’s Worst Doctor | The Ashford Zone

There’s always one. No matter what hair-brained position you take, you can always find an “expert” to add alleged credibility.

This time the “expert” is Jack Wolfson. He’s being embraced by the loons because he’s a doctor AND an anti-vaxxer. Here’s the thing to keep in mind — he’s a cardiologist. That means he knows as much about vaccines as a proctologist knows about muscle degeneration. Weigh his medical views against literally tens of thousands of academics and doctors who actually study and practice in this field.

Anyway, here’s a little of his drivel:

“Measles isn’t a big deal”, he said, though the CDC definitely disagrees. “This quote-unquote ‘outbreak’ has infected 70 people who are quote-unquote ‘infected,’ ” he said. “This is a country of 300 million people, and no one has died, and no one is sick as far as I know. We are all worried, and we are all getting crazy, and what we’re talking about is really just a fever and a rash.”

Uh, Mr. quote-unquote doctor? It IS an outbreak. There have been ~~over 80~~ 102 people identified as of two days ago. And what’s more, as the same article notes, that in YOUR state (Arizona), as many as 1,000 people, including 200 children, have potentially been exposed to the disease, and seven are infected.

No, it isn’t that black plague, but there was a point in history when there were only 80 people infected with the black plague. That wasn’t a big deal at the time either.

What’s interesting/scary about the guy is that he doesn’t deny that vaccines prevent measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, etc. He just thinks children have the “right” to contract these potentially life-threatening illnesses. He says:

“I’m a big fan of what’s called paleo-nutrition, so our children eat foods that our ancestors have been eating for millions of years…. That’s the best way to protect.”

Except it is not. It is just another fad diet, one that nutritionists reject. In fact, in 2012, a panel of experts reviewed 36 different diets for their weight loss and health (nutrition) value. Guess what came in last? The paleo diet, mostly because it was unsafe.

But morons will be morons. Even with a DR in front of their name.
