Fake ‘doctor’, infamous poo poker and ‘health’ food saleswoman Gillian McKeith has gone and made an absolute arse of herself on Twitter. Yes, I know that such types making an arse of themselves is pretty normal, but McKeith’s booboo was an absolute doozy.
Gillian McKeith put out a Tweet pointing out that the US Mint has put out a coin, one in a long running series promoting US National Parks, that contained the image of two bats. She claimed that it is suspect that the 2020 coin featuring the National Park on US Samoa had two bats on it. McKeith was seeming to link the coin with the coronavirus which is believed to have passed from bats to humans in China.
Here’s the Tweet
It didn’t take long before sensible readers of her Tweet pointed out that this bat coin is one of a long series of US Quarter coins featuring endangered animals in US National Parks which has been running for at least a decade.
Gillian McKeith has obviously decided that conspiralunacy might be a better grift or method of attention seeking than poking at poos in Tupperware containers. Sadly for her her batshit crazy comment has been quite rightly mocked by those who are more familiar with special editions of US currency.
I’ve always been of the opinion that it’s a really bad idea to take medical advice from poo pokers with qualifications from unaccredited US colleges, looks like I’m going to have to resolve not to take numismatic advice from Gillian McKeith as well.

Off topic, but you mean “Dusie” not “doozy”; it comes from Duesenberg – the finest quality automobile America ever produced, so the colloquialism “It’s a Dusie” means…..well, you know what it means…..
I saw one at the Haynes Motor Museum. It was big.
Thanks for that info. I’ve always seen this world spelled as ‘Doozy’ but was unsure of the history of this word.
She once told some of her acolytes that water has calories in it.
This issue reminds me of the eternal tabloid outrage about Christmas stamps. In the UK the festive stamps are Christian themed and secular on alternate years. Every time the secular year rolls around the press get all outraged about the PO driving Christ out of Christmas. Wearily the National Secular Society will point out yet again that, no they aren’t and that, since he gatecrashed the party anyway, so what.
McKeith is an utter loon. She’s very popular with the anti vax lot,you know the types who are angry that modern children don’t have access to the benefits of catching polio and diptheria.
