Watch 'Dr. Phil,' no medical license, rant COVID-19 falsehoods on Fox News
Wow, Dr. Phil is awful. Mister Phil, really. Gentle reminder than Dr. Phil is not a licensed doctor.
On Fox News, on Laura Ingraham's popular white supremacist TV show, Dr. Phil defended opening up America, as impeached president Donald Trump puts it.
Mister Phil also compared the coronavirus death rate to car and swimming pool accidents, which is not true.
Here's that original Fox News clip he's going on about in the YouTube clip at the top of this blog post:

Is there a vaccine to keep Dr. Phil from invading our lives? Someone go work on that.
Read the room, my man.
Maybe take a little quarantine time out.
@DrPhil addresses comments he made on @IngrahamAngle's Fox show: "Last night I said we as a society have chosen to live with certain controllable deadly risks every day: smoking, autocracies, swimming. And yes, I know that those are not contagious. So probably bad examples."

"And I get they are not contagious so they are probably not good examples," @DrPhil adds. "I probably could have used better examples about that. And by the way, I misspoke about drowning deaths. I quoted a worldwide number, not a US number"

Read the rest"If I offended people's sensibilities last night with my examples, then erase those," @DrPhil says.
