Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz owns shares of two companies he publicly supported, touting their drugs as potential Covid-19 treatments — even though the drugs weren't approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
What Happened: Dr. Oz, who rose to fame as the host of the “Dr. Oz Show” from 2009 to 2022, owns shares of Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE:TMO) and McKesson (NYSE:MCK) — two companies that are linked to the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
