Bob Odenkirk Admits He Had Heart Attack After Ignoring 'Conservative Jack*ss' Doctor’s Advice
AMC's "Better Call Saul" star Bob Odenkirk admitted that he suffered a heart attack after ignoring his "conservative jackass" doctor's advice, adding that he learned that a physician's political views are irrelevant to his professional competence.
He at least understands he made a mistake and trying to learn from it so more human than 90% of Hollywood right now
I guess he's made enough money because the big paydays from Hollywood are over now, ala James Woods, Kevin Sorbo, and Gina Carano.
This is a strange one, because he seems to admit that he's wrong and made a mistake.
I wonder if he chose some young, female, minority Doctor for that 2nd opinion.
A moment of clarity.
I still think this is 100% the mRNA shot he took but it is nice to see him publicly admit that he was wrong and his biases nearly got him killed.
Came here to say this. This principal only works one way. Do not expect progressive "professionals" to be competent despite their political leanings.
Not just doctors either, leftist millennials and every post-millennial generation will explicitly work against anybody they decide is a non-leftist and it's going to get much, much worse much faster than you expect.
The competency crisis is a direct result of Leftist policies.
One bad apple spoils the bunch. If your doctor wants to say he's a good doctor, wear a blumph hat and accept being considered toxic by incompetent insiders whom owe their career to fasttracking and become known as someone not reliant on the kindness of government.
The Number Needed to Treat for statins and primary prevention is also astronomical.
In all likelihood, whether Odenkirk was on a cholesterol pill or not made little difference on what happened in the future.
July 2021 collapse, you say? Lines up perfectly with the rollout, although wait long enough and some retard vaxxshill will show up and insist that it doesn't or that Odenkirk's unvaxxed. I saw some even try to insist Bieber was unvaxxed despite jetting around the globe for shows mid-pandemic.
the doctor was cranky because he was right and no one was listening to him, including his patients.
I know the feeling.
The headline is a bit misleading.
Also, this is not what people here want to hear, but I think the right is going to blame literally any bad health outcome for the next 30 years on the vaccine.
The beauty of an experimental injection that destroys your immune system - deliberately or not - is the built-in plausible deniability for all other negative outcomes. I mean if they won’t even seriously acknowledge the blood clots and heart attacks, then they certainly won’t be investigating the sharp increase in cancers and other serious illnesses correlating with the administration of the “vaccines”.
Seeing you, our most vocal local vaxtard, positively relishing in that plausible deniability isn’t surprising.
So we're about two years into the immune system of 70-80% of people being 'destroyed'? I guess people barely needed it after all.
Don't force me to defend the regime, but didn't they withdraw Johnson and Johnson as well as AstraZeneca?
Please explain what makes someone a 'vaxtard'. I think everything I've said holds up rather well.
its dumb of us to blame all bad health events on vaccines.
Even at 3% myocarditis the vaccine is a TERRIBLE choice for healthy people who have a 1 in a million chance of dying from covid (many have already survived it)
We don’t need to make crazy claims of 100% fatality.
It makes it too easy for the left to claim we were lying.
Which might be the aim of the CIA bots among us…
The fatality rate doesn't have to be very high for the clotshot to be a prime suspect when things like this do happen because of how conditional probability works.
You get no argument from me there, but I haven't seen any convincing evidence showing 3%. But even with the lower percentages, it is pretty insane how they forced it on young, healthy people.
What they actually did was bad enough.
For heart problems it's going to be a strong contender for the foreseeable future because it's been shown to damage the heart, especially in men.
50-year-old men have hardly been immune from heart problems before. So it's a little odd. But I get it, just like the vaccine has to be a panacea on one side, it has to be the root of all evil in the other.
It should be easy enough to thoroughly investigate positive and negative outcomes in both groups if health authorities are willing and able.
Well that's the issue. They won't, we know they won't, and they will absolutely bury anything that even resembles the sort.
So that leaves us with the problem of assuming all smoke is a wildfire. A valid and educated assumption, but likely overcorrecting.
Well, the vaccine will have negative knock-on effects for 30 years, especially since things like the lockdowns have made children retarded; but I'm more interested in the fact that ideological totalism has consequences.
Statins are one of the most overhyped drugs going around as cholesterol being lowered leads to a ton of issues but doesn't cause heart disease in all except people that have already had heart attacks (IIRC) There's literally only one tiny population that lowering cholesterol has benefits for.
Another Hollywood actor to avoid like the plague then.
Luckily, it's an easy task, since I no longer consume any entertainment media even remotely related to Hollywood (that means I've vastly reduced the amount of entertainment I consoom, yes.)
By the way, user @LibertyPrimeWasRight said: "Actually, I think we’re at the point where a leftist doctor’s politics make them worse at doctoring."
Brilliantly put. You're completely correct. Odenkirk hasn't understood a thing, which is atypical of his kind (lest they wouldn't be who they are).
Bryan Cranston is a proponent for critical race theory, by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZUxPxpbMHA
Guess what the other actors working on Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul thinks of these kinds of issues? I'd bet that they're all as insufferable as they look.
Absolute pieces of shits, the lot of them. They can't die off fast enough.
It's really sad to see what's become of most of the alternative comedy icons that I enjoyed in my youth.
Mr. Show was brilliant. Odenkirk and Cross (along with most of the guest comics they had ... Sarah Silverman, Jack Black, et al) are idiots.
Sarah Silverman was never funny either, and people likely would have realized that if she didn't bang Kimmel to keep relevant until Wokeness took off. Her standup involved such classic bits as screaming "FUDGE IS SHIT" over and over until the entire crowd reluctantly joined to shut her up, which is arguably even worse than "my vagina" like any other female comic.
She is the walking example of how nepotism can carry you until people just accept you are famous and let you just have roles.
I'm a huge fan of Mr. Show. I still think the skit about no number higher then 24 is one of the best written comedy sketches I've come across.
Shame what happened to Cross but he was excellent when he was younger.
I love "24 is the Highest Number", but I have to go with "Change for a Dollar".
Disagree, even if Odenkirk was wildly incorrect here.
If their politics involve denying reality and pursuing awful policy for the sake of political correctness, they are more likely to be incompetent in any field. And you're much better off with a doctor who will actually employ their brain instead of parroting dogma handed down by pharmaceutical companies.
Don't take political or medical advice from actors.
To be fair, I don't want my doctor to put conservative or liberal crap in his office. I'm not sure "we don't accept Obamacare" is a political statement, it certainly sounds overly aggressive.
I have no particular liking for this guy, but I'm not sure the evidence supports the claim that he specifically ignored the doctor's advice because he was conservative. It might just be that "you need to take medications because you have poor heart health" is not what someone wants to hear. Either way, probably not very smart.
"We don't accept Obamacare" was more of an economical statement, it usually underpays the hospitals so they have to charge everyone else more
The bigger problem with it is it doesn't make any sense. Not sure if you are familiar, but one does not accept "Obamacare." In many states, it's medicaid. The insurance you buy through the insurance portal is just insurance. Of course the doctor is free to take it or not, but not piecemeal. The way it goes is they strike a big deal with Aetna or some giant, and they take all the policies offered by that giant. The patients pay different amounts depending on their policy.
So I don't see how you can not take specifically Obamacare. There are doctors that do not accept Medicaid, but that says nothing about the other policies associated with Obamacare. And Medicaid existed long before Obama.
