Welcome everyone. It is our pleasure today to welcome back Dr. Peter McCullough.
Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, chief scientific officer for the Wellness Company.
He is recently quoted as having said,
where there is a slew of corruption, you will find the biopharmaceutical complex setting up shops.
We're going to talk a little bit today about the biopharmaceutical complex,
which is something I would have doubted existed.
I really would have pushed back on it had the last two years not happened.
He has a book, The Courage to Face COVID-19, Preventing Hospitalization and Death
While Battling the Biopharmaceutical Complex.
You can follow Peter McCullough at petermculloughmd.com.
McCullough is M-C-C-U-L-L-O-U-G-H.
He's always very interesting, and I learn a little something-something by talking to him.
Of course, our friend Dr. Kelly Victory is here to interview him and share some ideas as well.
So let's get right to it.
Our laws as it pertains to substances are draconian and bizarre.
A psychopath started this.
He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin.
Ridiculous.
I'm a doctor for f*** sake.
Where the hell do you think I learned that?
I'm just saying.
You go to treatment before you kill people.
I am a clinician.
I observe things about these chemicals.
Let's just deal with what's real.
We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time.
Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat.
If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.
I recently discovered Paleo Valley. They have a line of products that align perfectly with
the paleo dietary regimen.
Goodbye to the limited rotation of eggs, burgers, and the standard fare.
Hello to a wide variety of extraordinary products that are both healthful and delicious.

We appreciate all your patience with us being a few minutes late.
We had to give Dr. McCullough a chance to set up in his new studio.
And yesterday we had some other issues, but we appreciate your leniency with us and flexibility.
So we appreciate it very much.
And I'm reading a quote on our restream here from Liberty Ninja.
Susan is the smart one with all this craziness.
Dr. Drew is coming along slowly.
So Susan, I thought I would let you ring in here first as we launch into this conversation with Dr. McCullough.
Okay.
What do you want me to say?
Just how excited you were to talk to him again, hear from him again.
Oh, I'm really excited to talk to him again.
And he was one of the original people that we spoke to at the beginning of the pandemic.
And probably one of the first people that got us a strike on YouTube.
And fortunately, we're still around.
We made it.
But I'm really happy to have him back.
And you're also helping about this new Paleo Valley.
Yes, and we have a new sponsor,
and we're so excited, paleovalley.com.
You can also go to drdrew.com slash paleovalley
because if you do paleovalley.com. You can also go to drdrew.com slash paleovalley because if you do paleovalley.com
slash drew, you're going to get another organization. But Drew loves the beef sticks.
He's able to eat them. He travels with them. And also we like the bone broth and you'll hear more
about that later. Fair enough. Let's bring in a cardiologist, internist, epidemiologist, chief scientific officer for the Wellness Company, Dr. Peter McCullough.
John McCullough, thank you as always for joining us. I feel like I first need kind of an update
from you, like what's been happening lately, what are your thoughts, where have you been,
how have things evolved from your perspective? I'll tell you, I have to apologize for the YouTube
strike. No one should take a YouTube
strike when we have a novel virus and we're trying to discuss treatment approaches. That's
what people wanted to hear. If you're sick, how could they be treated? Things were so dramatic
over the course of the first year. I basically teamed up with John Leak, who's already a true
crime bestselling author. And we wrote the
book, Courage to Face COVID-19. And it's all about what happened very early on in terms of our
abilities to try to find ways of helping people avoid hospitalization and death. That's what we
were doing. And really the big reveal in the book is instead of being congratulated or actually getting assistance, getting some wins in our sale, instead we were crushed.
We were crushed with social media, censorship.
There was a tremendous wave of antipathy that came forward to anybody who was trying to bring help to America and the world. I mean, just thinking back to the fact that there wasn't routine application of corticosteroids
or we weren't discussing optimum dosing and which corticosteroid.
These clearly had benefit.
I took them when I had an alpha outbreak.
And even that wasn't allowed to be discussed because, God forbid,
you might wander into one of the forbidden words.
So weird.
You know, it's interesting.
In May of 2020, the very first Senate hearing with Ron Johnson, who was leading these, had Pierre Corey on.
And Pierre Corey was brought on to discuss steroids. Do you know, at that time, every single agency, the NIH, CDC, FDA,
Infectious Disease Society of America, the EMA, they all said,
Do not use corticosteroids to treat COVID-19.
That's in May of 2020.
Corey went on, you said, to review the data and he said, you know,
I'm treating patients.
We should use steroids.
Now, within a few months, the entire world followed Corey.
But look how wrong the
agencies were. In writing, they were completely wrong. And the issue is, it was early on. We don't
want to throw any stones, but the societies could have been neutral on things and said, you know,
we're neutral right now. We're not sure if the doctor's judgment. There's no problem or risk
with neutrality. What we didn't like to see is these authoritative statements
on essentially what I call therapeutic nihilism, not to do things when people are dying.
Yeah, crazy. Now we're in a situation where we have a second bivalent booster.
And so, you know, I have a mixed sort of opinion about vaccines. My elderly patients,
I've been vaccinating and boosting them,
and I had most of them take the bivalent vaccine.
But now we have a second bivalent, a second booster,
while, by the way, here in Southern California,
a new variant has been circulating around,
a new variant that is not covered by this bivalent booster,
and we have no data on this booster, none whatsoever.
And I've been saying, I'm going to kind of hold here, and we have no data on this booster, none whatsoever.
And I've been saying, I'm going to kind of hold here,
even for the elderly patients,
today was the first day that on several occasions patients asked me about it.
I guess somebody sent out some sort of an announcement.
It was L.A. County Public Health or maybe it may have been Pfizer,
or who knows who sent it out, but they all got a notification because they all came in telling me,
should I get this second booster?
And I said, look, I don't have enough.
You can take it if you want, but I can't recommend it because I don't have any data.
I can't yet.
And this has been the problem all the way through the pandemic.
The practitioner cannot make a risk-reward analysis,
and yet recommendations and mandates were coming down on their patients constantly. It's true, and there's no excuse not
to do large randomized trials. Remember, all the vaccines from the very beginning was understood.
They only last six months. They actually fade after a few months, so everybody's essentially
unvaccinated in a few months anyway. Why couldn't we have had large scale
randomized trials? People could have participated in them. Each company, Pfizer, Moderna, they had
$100 billion of revenue. There was plenty of money to go around to fund large clinical trials. We
should not have been guessing. What happened was in the spring of 2022, there was an attempt of
actually having a vaccine against the BA1 subvariant
Omicron, and quickly the virus mutated. The companies gave up on that. Then we got around to
the summer and fall of 2022, actually August 16th is when they came out, was the BA4, BA5
subvariant vaccines. Now, these were boosters. They still had 50% of the original formula against the wild type strain.
And then the BA4, BA5 Omicron strain. Moderna was actually reduced in dose from 100 to 50.
Pfizer stayed the same at the same cumulative dose, composite dose of 30 micrograms.
Remember, Janssen never changed and Novavax never changed.
But the boosters, the novel boosters only applied to messenger RNA.
And there they were approved with no human data.
There was simply animal data.
And they relied on antibodies.
This is very important.
And remember, the diagnostic division of the FDA says, do not rely on antibodies because they're not a reliable surrogate of immunity.
That's the FDA diagnostic division. The FDA vaccine group actually relied
now eight times on EUA authorizations on what's called immunobridging studies. They're relying
on antibody. In this case, they relied on mice model antibody elevations. The mice actually got
sick with Omicron anyway, so it didn't stop the clinical infection. And that's how the new boosters
came out. Yeah, this has been a, this lack of data. A friend of mine is, who I'm going to get
on the show, we've had him on before, Dr. Yogendra, who is working on long COVID, $5 billion was
allocated for long COVID. And no one knows where that money went. He's going to be doing some,
you know, some really serious science on all this,
but nobody else is, and yet billions of dollars were allocated for it.
What has happened to us?
The weird lack of doing science and then the weird adulteration
of what gets published.
These are my two great concerns right now.
Am I biased in some way?
Is there something I feel I'm seeing that I'm not seeing?
Or what's going on here?
You know, an interesting paper that's on my sub stack, it has to do with retracted papers.
We've had papers that are fully published, copyrighted, contracted, indexed in the National Library of Iowa.
So they've fully gone through peer review, editor review, finally editorial decision.
They're actually out in the public domain for weeks or months.
And then the journals retract them for administrative reasons.
And it turns out these papers are far more cited than papers that don't get retracted.
And this is what we call censorship.
It's at the level of what we
believe is a biopharmaceutical complex, a powerful syndicate that's formed that will basically comb
through the literature. Anything that's threatening to an official narrative, the editors and the
publishers actually get pressure to retract them. So even the medical community now is seeing things
through a biased lens.
And would it be accurate to say that even some of the things that have been legitimately retracted because they were, you know, they were either bad studies or completely fallacious, sometimes those still get quoted. Well, it's possible, but what we're finding out is the ones that are actually valid studies that were withdrawn for administrative reasons, those are the ones that are heavily cited.
So they're actually bringing truth, and people are citing them anyway because they're important papers.
Almost everything now is published in the preprint server anyway,
so we always have the ability to go back and cite them.
We're just trying to advance the science here. There's about 10,000 retractions
a year, about 7 million publications, so it does happen. There can be overt fraud. It's
very rare. I was the editor of two major journals for decades, and I can tell you it comes up
very rarely. But what we're seeing is we're seeing breach of publication
contract and retraction of valid papers because we believe of this external influence on publishers
and editors. Are you thinking of any papers in particular? Yeah, the paper in particular that,
you know, I was involved in was fully published. I was the senior author in the current problems of cardiology.
This was an invited paper. It went through peer review. It dealt with myocarditis and it was
basically breaking the data down on epidemiology of myocarditis that we saw emerging after the
messenger RNA products. And it was fully published six days before the pediatric FDA vaccine meetings.
We get a notice from Elsevier, the publisher, that it's being retracted.
And we specifically asked, well, is there invalidity here?
Is there some type of sign?
No, scientifically, it's fine.
They're retracting it for administrative reasons.
And they asked us to voluntarily agree to it being retracted. I disagreed. I'd already
paid thousands of dollars of publication fees. You know, manuscripts take so much effort to get
across the finish line. And so they ended up posting this and saying, listen, this was reviewed
at the editor's or the author's request, meaning obviously they decided to do it. So, you know,
I've had to threaten lawsuit,
and it's just, it's a travesty to see valid papers withdrawn when we know they're important contributions, and particularly suspicious timing right before a pediatric vaccine meeting,
and it deals with myocarditis. Interesting. Well, I know Kelly is very interested to
get in this conversation, so I want to bring her in here as early as possible.
I also want to tell people I believe we have Ed Dowd coming in on Monday.
Is that correct, Susan, at 3 o'clock?
Yes, that's correct.
He has some important data he wants to update,
and so we'll give him a chance to do that.
Nicole Sapphire is coming in here.
We've got a lot of good guests coming in,
but of course today it is none other than Dr. Peter McCullough,
which we will bring back
just after this and bring in dr kelly as well with mother's day quickly approaching what better way

Over the last few months, no doubt you've heard a lot about spike protein,
certainly on this program.
The reality is once lockdowns are well behind us,
we will likely still be dealing with the effects of COVID
and potentially the COVID-19 vaccines.
Therefore, the spike protein may prove to be an important part of our story.
With that in mind, I want to introduce you to the wellness company's spike support formula.
Whether you've been vaccinated or
not, spike protein may be something you have become concerned about. Good news is that there's
some interesting research on how to potentially deal with it. Studies have suggested that
natokinase and dandelion root are showing some potential in protecting you and your family.
Our friend Dr. Peter McCullough and the team at the Wellness Company have the only product on the
market that contains both natokinase and dandelion root. In addition to the natokinase and the dandelion root,
the Wellness Company's SpikeSport formula also includes natural antioxidant ingredients such
as black sativa extract, green tea, and iris sea moss, all thought to help boost immune health.

This is uncharted territory drew
dr kelly victory welcome back dr peter mccullough
hey dr mccullough thanks so much for joining us i know how crazy busy your schedule is so
appreciate you um you making time for us um before we we i'm going to pick up on there's so many
things i want to ask you about,
but I think it's fair to say you and I have both suffered the slings and arrows from the beginning
of this thing. We were both really on the forefront of this and we suffered everything from,
you know, cancellation to character assassination. Of course, pointing out things like the inefficacy
of men, the dangers of the lockdowns, the idiocy of school closures.
And now fast forward to the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence of severe harms from these vaccines.
And unfortunately, although it would be certainly I can understand the desire perhaps to do.
And I told you so victory lap because you and I have been proven now to be right. And even Anthony Fauci would acknowledge that we were right about the vast majority of
this. I've said from, there's really no time for that. There are too many people suffering
severe injuries from these vaccines in particular, as well as all the other things I mentioned. And
it is incumbent upon us, I believe, to really rally all hands on deck. How can we help these people? So I want to start with that
positive thing, which is the natto kinase. You just posted today a sub stack talking specifically
about natto kinase. I've talked about it on this show before, but let's start with that. Start with how, here's something that we can do. You know,
you were obviously probably the premier person talking about what can we do to treat COVID.
Now it's what can we do to help people now? So start, if you would, with talking about
niacinase, how you got to that and where you see its application. Sure. You know, most people understand now that in about 3,000 peer-reviewed papers
on vaccine injury syndromes, fatal and non-fatal, what's really causing the problem is the spike
protein, which is the spine on the surface of the virus. And most people now have had both
the viral infection and the vaccines. So we can't
separate them. They've actually had COVID and they've had the vaccines. In the United States,
we know 75% of Americans have taken a vaccine. So they've been loaded with the spike protein.
They didn't get much protection. They wear out after about six months, but they actually have
the spike protein, which lasts in the body, we believe, for a very long time,
many months, if not a year or more.
So with the viral infection or the vaccines,
the spike protein stays within the body
and it's found in the heart, the brain, the vital organs,
and it's causing problems.
And we believe it's related to a nervous system problems
like small fiber neuropathy.
And so because the body appears to have problems breaking down the spike protein and clearing
it out, there's been a search for what could actually dissolve the spike protein.
It does appear to have vulnerabilities and it was called proteolytic cleavage joints.
And I give great credit to the Japanese who early on discovered that an enzyme produced
from the breakdown of soy so
bacillus subtilis natto is called natto kinase it's an endogenous thrombolytic
digestive enzyme if you will the Japanese have been using this for heart
and vascular disease now for 20 years it's safe it is a form of a mild blood
thinner that it dissolves the spike protein nearly completely.
Today on my Substack was an in vitro study showing that if the virus is trying to attack a cell,
it actually can't do it if natokinase is dissolving the spike protein. Now I want to be
careful. I can't make therapeutic claims because human studies are not yet done. It'll probably
take many years to get large prospective randomized trials that we need. Many people are saying, listen, it's a safe supplement now with the caveats we know.
Let's give it a try in treating patients with long COVID or vaccine injury syndromes.
And the anecdotes are coming in, and they're very positive.
It's slow to work, but they're very positive.
My experience so far is about two months of supplementation.
Patients seem to improve,
whether that's spontaneous or attributed to that or other medicines, but it's all positive.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but natto, which is, as I understand it, a fermented kind of a
cheese-like product that is consumed as part of the natural diet in Japan, it is a fermented
product that has this enzyme within it, and that it has
other health benefits in addition to the fact that it's been found that it might break apart or break
down these toxic spikes that are found on the outside of COVID, but it also breaks down and
helps with blood clotting and helps with atherosclerotic disease, if I'm not mistaken.
It's true. There's two papers. They're mixed on progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease. One shows benefit, one shows neutrality. Tends to lower blood pressure a little bit,
lower cholesterol a little bit, and lower blood glucose. So it's safe. The caveats, again, are
it's a blood thinner, so bleeding, mucosal nosebleeds,
or bleeding, easy bruising,
or bleeding while brushing teeth.
The other caveat is soy allergy.
If someone has a soy allergy,
you want to be careful, it can recur.
But it's been used now for two decades
by the Japanese and the discovery,
and I think the most impressive studies,
by Tanakawa and colleagues,
showing near complete dissolution of the spike protein in preclinical models, intact cells,
and then in homogenized material.
Wow, this is important because we do believe the spike protein, which is installed after
vaccination and after the illness, is causing the problem. And again, I think the important part is
very similar to what happened when the virus was first out there. People like you and other real
scientists, real physicians, people who are dedicated to their trade, were looking for
solutions, not just saying, oh, live in fear, hide in your basement, bathe in Purell,
wear a mask and hope to heck that somebody hacks up a vaccine. And so likewise, here we are now
after the pandemic and you and others are saying, okay, okay, we have a lot of people harmed and
who are suffering. What are the things we can do? In other words, it's the opposite of that
therapeutic nihilism that you have talked about from the beginning. And so I think that it is
incumbent upon us to do an all hands on deck and say, okay, how are we going to help these people?
And hopefully natokinase and some of these types of supplements can get us there. Now I want to
talk a little bit about what you and Drew are saying at
the beginning, this egregious amount of censorship and the cancel culture and the corruption that has
gone on. I found it interesting that Anthony Fauci came out recently and acknowledged that,
quote, mistakes were made, including his tacit acknowledgement that face masks don't work.
He managed to do so while
absolving himself of all responsibility for what happened. Where do you see things going with the
leadership, public health leadership in this country? Yeah, I think people have really lost
their trust. I was struck by the release by Freedom of Information Act, the communication between Fauci
and Francis Collins, head of the NIH, when the Great Barrington Declaration was proposed by
Jay Bhattacharya at Stanford, Martin Kulldorff at Harvard, and Sunitra Gupta at Oxford, esteemed
scientists. The Great Barrington Declaration was basically a proposal that we protect high-risk
seniors, take special measures, and let the rest of society kind of move on and we'll work our way through the pandemic.
What Fauci and Collins interchanged was that there's a fringe epidemiologist who's put
this forward, and can we do something in social media to crush him?
This is amazing.
That degree, they should be asking him into the NIH and have a discussion. When I
proposed early treatment, published it widely, published as best I could. I have now,
I have over approaching 700 peer-reviewed publications in the National Library of Medicine,
approaching 70 in COVID-19. One of the most published people you're ever going to have on
the show or elsewhere. That means I've just looked at more data i've spent more time in scholarship people like myself jab on each other
we should have been welcomed in to help guide the pandemic response instead of you know being
the target of the crushing reprisal right and not only not only getting kicked off of social media
but you along with people like dr john littell who's a friend of this show
merrill nass and others have been the targets for you know losing your medical license or losing
your your board certification being kicked off of you know kicked out of staff you know hospital
staff meetings and so on and this is this is the stuff really of the cultural revolution in china
you know what What differentiates
us from North Korea when these sorts of things are happening?
It's true. We've seen a wave of totalitarianism, authoritarian thinking. Remember, this is a novel
pandemic. Now we have a novel wave of long COVID and vaccine injury syndrome. This is where we need
all opinions out. Everybody has a fair voice on this. Let the science guide us. I've been struck with a professional attack by the
American Board of Internal Medicine. I've had to get lawyers, and now my case is kind of stayed at
the appeal level internally right now. But I'm a top graduate of a top medical school. I trained
in epidemiology at one of the best schools of public health.
I trained at the number one internal medicine program in the United States, most published
person in my field in the world in history before COVID.
Really?
I'm going to have a board try to lay out a tag because I'm trying to help people through
my clinical practice and my scholarship and my role as a public figure.
And I was a public figure before COVID.
So it's not like, you not like I came out of nowhere.
People knew me.
I had chaired programs for the National Institutes of Health,
Data Safety Monitoring Board,
Overall Principal Investigator of Clinical Trials.
I'd lectured before the Congressional Oversight Panel in 2007 in the FDA,
European Medicine Agency, New York Academy of Sciences.
So I have a pristine academic track record.
I still have it.
And I think the American board knows it, and they've backed down.
I've never had any troubles with my state licensure,
but I'm willing to take a very firm posture with them as well.
And part of this, guys, if I could say, Kelly,
if I could jump on a little bit here, that, you know, it is, you know, Kelly, the stuff of Maoist policy during the Cultural Revolution.
But strangely, it has been sort of carried out really, I just look back on this couple years, instigated by the press.
And certainly winds blown along by our public health officials and governors and things. But the press, when I was screaming against the, you know, settle down everybody,
the person, the group I was yelling at was the press.
I could see the panic porn they were attempting to induce.
They had just been through all kinds of panic around President Trump.
And this was just now a way to use that mechanism that they discovered to continue this incredible excess rather than actual reporting. But my question is,
Peter has occasionally lately been talking about the fact that they seem to be getting staging,
they're staging for another one. It's as though any little virus, they tried to do it with monkeypox.
Now it looks like they're getting ready to do it with Marburg virus.
Is that true or am I reading too much into this?
You know, we're hearing these types of alarming headlines.
And the best example you mentioned was monkeypox.
Monkeypox have been around for decades, sporadic zoonotic outbreaks.
We had an outbreak in the United States in the 70s.
There, believe it or not, the WHO declared a national monkeypox emergency. President Biden declared a national emergency. I was studying this carefully. We had a case in Dallas a year
earlier. He didn't spread it to anyone. He'd come from Africa. We realized it's a low spread. It was
easily handled. We have a drug called Ticovirumab. It's very effective. It was treated fine. So fortunately with monkeypox, we got out
ahead of it. It adapted a human to human spread through a sexual contact, largely male, either,
you know, male to male sexual contact. You weren't allowed to say that. You couldn't say that. You
couldn't say that it was a particular risk group. For the first time in medical history, you weren't
allowed to talk about how it's transmitted and who was at risk. You have to not say that, not say that it was a particular risk group. For the first time in medical history, you weren't allowed to talk about how it's transmitted and who was at risk. You have to not say that, not say that.
Do I? Do I? I was walking on eggs trying to do this, but it did change. And it was a very
important paper by Thornhill in New England Journal of Medicine. So the point is we got
ahead of this in the media. I came out and said, listen, we can handle this. And, you know, it
really just kind of died. It fell out of the media stream, January 31st, with no fanfare, no announcement. It just dropped as a national emergency.
So talk a little bit. So, yeah, Marburg is where I was going next. So,
yes, we started hearing reports of isolated cases of Marburg, first in the UK and then elsewhere.
You know, let's lay it out first for people who might not know what Marburg, first in the UK and then elsewhere. Let's lay it out first
for people who might not know what Marburg virus is, where it's normally found in sub-Saharan
Africa, what the cases are like. Clearly, it's far more lethal than monkeypox or COVID or anything
else we're talking about. But start with what is Marburg virus and what do you think the actual risk is for it becoming
a pandemic?
Right.
So Marburg virus is a single-stranded RNA virus.
It's related to Ebola.
And there's been sporadic outbreaks for decades, just like monkeypox, for decades.
Marburg, Germany is where it was named.
And it largely is in pockets in Africa. It has very small
and brief outbreaks. It's highly contagious. And in facilities like the backwoods of Africa,
you know, where there's little ICU support or medicines, it can have a high mortality.
I think a modern case of Marburg's today, you know, with good ICU support would
probably be a very supportable illness. We had experience with a related illness, Ebola, in Dallas
a few years ago. And so, you know, we were just right, we were in the epicenter of it at, you know,
Presbyterian Hospital. But what we know here is that there are viruses out there that cause severe
syndromes. Marburg is associated with, it's considered a hemorrhagic fever. So there's
mucosal bleeding. And that's, you know, some of the images that people see. But the bottom line
is I think with good ICU support, it's manageable. It's not going to spread like SARS-CoV-2.
It's already been studied for, gosh, four or five decades. It's not something now to bring up
as an imminent threat. And so I guess that's the question.
And, you know, I read your sub stack about it is, you know, why are they, you know, they ran
monkeypox up the flagpole that it failed to cause the amount of fear that they had hoped,
although they really did try pretty desperately, as Drew said, to act as if everyone was at risk
for this, to not allow you to talk about who the real risk groups were, and to certainly not talk about how it could very quickly be nipped in the bud.
Why, you know, now with Marburg, why do you think they are doing this? What do you think
their end goal is? You know, I think overtly they probably say that this is in the spirit
of pandemic readiness. We'll probably see some readiness discussions about other illnesses,
Ebola, anthrax. We can anticipate some of these. Pandemic preparedness now is a hot topic.
So there is an entire organization founded by the World Economic Forum and the Gates Foundation
called CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation. They have a lot of funding. And so they are doing a lot of preparatory planning exercises, you know, training
efforts. So people have said, listen, there's going to be another pandemic. I don't know if
that's the case, but there's a lot of effort in preparing for that. And I think because of this,
these media stories get legs underneath them. I'm worried that they that group has become a
a liability i really do this i i don't even call them pandemic preparedness anymore i call them
pandemic inc it's really just a bunch of hammers looking for a nail and it really does not have
much of the usual risk reward decision making that we as physicians have to make i thought of
something else that was interesting as it pertains to pandemic policy. I heard Michelle Obama being interviewed. This is maybe a year
old, something like that, interview by Oprah. She was being interviewed and she was talking about
bringing her kids home from school during the darkest hours of the pandemic and how scared she
was. And she said, fortunately, I was living with a former president, and that former president was president during a major pandemic.
And she almost went so far as to say, he told us to shut up, essentially, that this is not
a lot different than what I, they tried to shut me down too, is sort of what she was
kind of alluding to, like during H1N1, Obama was recommended to shut the world down too,
and he didn't.
We need to hear from him.
If that is true, if I'm not reading inaccurately between the lines of what Michelle Obama was
alluding to, we need to hear from him because he could be a major, major force for good in just
balancing things because he did make the decision not to shut the world down. I got H1N1. It was
horrible. It was worse than COVID, but he didn't shut the world down. I got H1N1. It was horrible. It was worse than COVID, but he didn't
shut the world down because of it. I think those are fair points. We're always going to have to
ask the question, is something in the future big enough to try to make global decisions,
shutting the entire world down, or should we take a more targeted approach? I mentioned the Great
Barrington Declaration, which suggested protective measures
for seniors, vaccines for seniors. It was just a targeted approach. And many think,
looking back, that was far more irrational. And so does shutdown schools.
Of course.
It just went too far. And what we're really talking about is the contagious aspect of fear. Fear spreads from
person to person. It's a mental contagion. Yeah, I think, Dr. McCullough, you are more
generous than I when giving people credit for the idea that it was a novel virus and we didn't know. And I would submit that the science didn't change, that we've known for decades that face masks do fundamentally nothing to stop the spread of respiratory viruses. We've known for decades that lockdowns are far more damaging than they do good. They penalize the entire population rather than the targeted group who are actually at risk.
We knew from the beginning that children were at a de minimis risk from COVID,
and there was never any rationale for shutting down schools and on and on.
And Kelly, I thought of you today. I'm going to interrupt you because I thought you today, I was at my own urology visit, and in there was a big sign that said,
six feet saves lives. And I literally laughed out loud
and your face appeared to me. Six feet saves lives. Really? What's the evidence?
No, no, not in zero. But what I want to ask you, and we will perhaps all three of us disagree about
this. Do you at this point, Dr. McCullough, do you see any rationale given the amount of data that you've looked at with regard to the COVID vaccines, bivalent or otherwise newer?
Do you see any reason that these vaccines should still be on the market today, given the amount of data that we have about adverse events?
No, I do not. On December 7th, 2022, I called in the U.S. Senate
for all of them to be removed off the market. I'm in line with the World Council for Health,
which made that call based on their pharmacovigilance report, June 11th, 2022. So they
should be off the market because of safety reasons. And I think that's something that we really need to talk about.
This isn't sort of for some risk groups.
The reality is that the COVID, the variants right now are very, very mild.
They cause something akin to a cold.
Most people can be treated very easily with over-the-counter medications.
People aren't even going to their doctors for the current symptomatology, let alone being admitted to the hospital or dying. That is the reality.
And the number of severe adverse events, really, as I said, I think the data are unassailable
that these vaccines have caused untold harm. And I think that, you know, really I am with you in believing that we need to call
for a complete and total recall from the market. Do you think that is likely to happen?
I don't think so because the vaccines are considered countermeasures. That's a military
term. And anytime we have a national security emergency, which is the COVID-19, and there's
countermeasures, it's like a military
term. It means that whatever military decision, it doesn't mean how many collateral injuries are,
it's not going to be removed from the market. But you see all kinds of signs that the government
agencies really are not behind them. This week, Biden administration dropped all the mandates
for the remainder of the government workers,
even incoming people to the country.
You can see this sweeping across the globe that people are dropping the vaccines, but
they won't be dropped because under the PrEP Act, these are considered countermeasures.
They're going to be continued to be available out there in the world.
The only way they're going to stop is if people stop taking them all together. And we're approaching that right now. We know the COVID Community States Project
weighed in, by the way, a huge sample, 25,000 people, Northeastern and Harvard. Only 25% of
Americans took the, 75% of Americans took a vaccine. 25% didn't. 25% unvaccinated. That's a big number. The CDC said
8%. And what the investigators found is the CDC was over counting people who lost their vaccine
cards. They were just given another vaccine card and counting them again. So now 25% of Americans
never took a vaccine. I didn't take one. Best decision I ever made. Yeah, I'm asked frequently what the numbers are.
I know that the CDC said 92% of Americans are vaccinated.
I think people have good reason to be dishonest in both directions.
There are many people certainly who said that they got vaccinated when they didn't.
There are lots of fake vaccine cards out there.
That's the reality.
People who wanted to travel or go to restaurants or whatever it was and didn't want to get
vaccinated.
So there are many people who I think who said they were vaccinated when they weren't.
And then likewise, I suspect there are many people who got vaccinated who now feel that
they made a bad decision.
They feel that they were duped and they don't want to acknowledge that they made this.
So they're saying, oh, no, I never took one. So I wonder if we will ever really get a good
handle on how many folks are vaccinated. But you believe that a more realistic number would be
somewhere around 25% of Americans are not vaccinated?
Right. The COVID Community States Program, you can find it online. Again,
Northeastern University and Harvard, 25% of adults unvaccinated. It's interesting because, you know, the 25 percent who say they didn't take a vaccine like me did so for very specific reasons. reprisal because of this, were likely to be voters in the upcoming sets of elections.
And only 60% of Americans vote. So nearly half of the voting adult population did not take a vaccine.
It's so interesting because the candidates will have to figure out what their stance is on the vaccines. Well, I am encouraged to think that that number is 25%. I am not vaccinated for COVID.
Interestingly, and I've told this story before on air,
I have two allergies.
And one of them is a very severe allergy
to polyethylene glycol.
And I was hospitalized twice during the pandemic
for an orthopedic injury and had to have surgery.
And I cannot tell you,
my chart has had emblazoned on the front,
how they do with allergies, big red letters,
allergy, polyethylene glycol.
I probably had 50, five zero healthcare professionals
during those hospitalizations come in
and try to convince me that I needed to be vaccinated.
And their response when I said,
have you seen my allergy to polyethylene glycol? What are the key ingredients in these vaccines?
And their answer was, well, if you have anaphylaxis, you're here in the hospital.
So we can take care of you. We'll be able to treat you. Can you imagine if you as a doctor
gave penicillin knowingly to somebody who had penicillin allergy emblazoned on the front of their chart?
I mean, we have lost our collective minds if we're at that point.
I'm glad you mentioned that.
Polyethylene glycol severe allergies are important.
Remember the consent form of the FAQ for the vaccine.
Say if you have a severe allergy to any component of the vaccine, you shouldn't take it.
So even the official government materials say you shouldn't take it. Remember sports
football superstar Aaron Rodgers had a very superior polyethylene glycol allergy, and that
was the reason why he didn't take the vaccine. He got sick with COVID. He got the McCullough
Protocol. I had just gone on with Joe Rogan. He got through it. So did Joe. Kind of
the innovations that we all put together in early treatment worked, and they don't need a vaccine.
So I'm really glad Aaron didn't take the vaccine because we could have lost one of our favorite
quarterbacks. He's now on the Jets, so New York has him. But people have to make smart decisions.
You made a smart decision. Some of the deaths that have happened right in the vaccine center were probably fatal anaphylactoid reactions that couldn't be resuscitated.
Yeah. Dr. McCullough, really quick, a couple of quick things from my camp really quick.
People are chatting away on a restream and they wanted a little clarification on your vaccine.
I have two questions. One is clarification on your vaccine history.
Did you not take any vaccine?
Because somebody said they thought you had taken
an initial shot, but no boosters.
No, I never took the COVID-19 vaccine.
Prior to COVID, I had taken all the vaccines
in the CDC ACIP schedule, including the doctor vaccines.
And I took more vaccines when I went to India a few
years ago. So I, you know, I readily accept vaccines. I, you know, I don't have any,
personally have any problem with the vaccines, but when COVID came, Dr. Drew, I had already had
COVID early and I just recovered from it. And when they rolled out, I said, listen,
I just went through it. I, you know, I'm not comfortable with this. I didn't take the vaccine.
That's why I laugh about when people, I laugh when people call me anti-vax. I'm saying I'm one
of the most heavily vaccinated people, you know, I've been vaccinated for more things than most
people because of areas of the world I've chosen to travel. Uh, but like you, I said, uh, this one,
this one's not for me. So, um, speaking of NFL players, um, I, you,, you were relatively outspoken, as was I, about DeMar Hamlin.
Clearly, DeMar Hamlin has, the narrative now is that we're supposed to believe that his
cardiac arrest was a result of commotio cordis. I saw the play, and I assume you have seen it
many, many times, and I don't find
it a plausible explanation in any way, shape or form.
And I hope for his sake that he has an implanted defibrillator because I think that the risk
of his having a repeat event is high.
What are your thoughts on that?
I agree.
I was on Tucker Carlson within 24 hours of the arrest, and I was the only public
figure doctor that told Tucker in the world he was going to survive. I told Random Fox News,
he'll walk out of the hospital, he'll survive. He had very good resuscitation. I watched it
carefully, but he had a primary cardiac arrest on the field. And the number one cause of that in an athlete who's been screened for other causes of sudden death
is actually COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. The guidelines with myocarditis say,
if an athlete has it, they can't go on the sports field because a surge of adrenaline
will precipitate a cardiac arrest. The NFL said that 95% of the players took the vaccine.
So the number one in the
differential was COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. Commodio cordis, which is a blow
to the chest, typically by a baseball to an unprotected sternum, that was ruled out because
that causes immediate ventricular fibrillation. So if a baseball hits the chest, the player
goes down instantaneously. What had happened is he had tackled the player, got up,
clapped his hands, and then he went down. Commodio cordis has never happened in the NFL or football
because the pads protect the breastbone and the helmet is too diffuse. And so a tackle to the
chest doesn't create the same force as a, you know, as a hundred mile an hour.
Rarely in adults, usually pre-adolescent males. That's the thin chest wall, sort of a necessity for that.
I would offer one other theory, which is pulmonary embolus, because he re-arrested.
He re-arrested once they got him off the field.
Pulmonary embolus is really common for people to re-arrest, and his neurologic status approved
days before his pulmonary status, which is another pulmonary embolus sort of thing.
Well, Dr. Drew, here's another interpretation.
Watch carefully.
He actually, they had to turn his head.
So when he arrested,
he actually must've just drank some Gatorade.
I think he actually aspirated is what happened.
Well, that's the other possibility.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
Because he's right.
That's the other reason his lungs may have lingered.
Yes, or shock lung.
Those are the other two possibilities, right. Yeah. But That's the reason his lungs may have lingered. Yes. Or shock lung. Those are the other two possibilities.
Right.
Yeah.
But here's the situation.
His relative that said he re-arrested later on, he recanted that and said the layperson
misinterpreted what was going on in the ICU.
Okay.
But here's the thing.
Okay.
If he had pulmonary embolism, he would be on anticoagulants.
He can't return to football.
Okay.
So that's out.
Okay. So that's out. And he had a
primary cardiac arrest due to vaccine-induced myocarditis and ICD implanted. And again,
he can't return to football. He could do some other activities. So he's, believe it or not,
he's going to be the first player in history, according to what's been publicly stated,
to have a commodio cortis playing pro football, have a primary arrest on the field, and return with no
ICD. So he's setting all record. And as a cardiologist, I care for patients like this.
I'm concerned he's at risk for a repeat arrest. One more quick one, which would be, he could have
been, he could have do six months of anticoagulants and then go back to playing. It's been, what,
three or four months now already. He could be on the tail end of his anticoagulation course in return.
Also, I want you to talk a little about Jamie Foxx and what's going on there.
I hear he did an interview today.
I'm delighted to hear that he seems at least cognitively intact.
But this sounds like a terrible thing.
He's been in the hospital for weeks.
You don't do that for nothing.
It's true.
He must have had a significant stroke or complications. And,
you know, I know Jamie, he took pictures with me. We had a private conversation about, you know,
COVID, the risks and what have you. So he's going to have to have his own
way to communicate a personal health crisis with the public. He's a great guy. I really respect
him. Terrific actor.
We wish him the best.
But, you know, stroke in a young person, again, raises concerns because the vaccines are associated with stroke.
There's a paper in JAMA by Von Dag-Berhild.
You're going to be blown away with this.
They described 7,750 strokes or intracranial hemorrhages within 28 days of the vaccine was published in JAMA.
It is an unbelievable signal. So the first thing you see when a young person in stroke,
again, you think of COVID-19 vaccination. Yeah. And we are seeing an unprecedented number of
young people with sudden deaths and with inexplicable cases of turbo cancers, people dying within days or
weeks of being diagnosed with the first cancer, resurgence of cancers that had been previously
deemed to be in remission, and all kinds of things that really, they have not been explained.
And the reality is that the HHS and the CDC own the data in VAERS. It is their system, yet they have really been remiss in analyzing the data on their own. I don't see that it's going to happen unless it continues to happen through the private sector and through people like you and Ed Dowd and other people, Naomi Wolf, who are really diving into it. But I don't think there's any other way to
parse the data or to understand the data than that these are clearly related to the vaccines.
We need to merge the all-cause mortality data and the National Death Index and the vaccine
administration data. The CDC holds the data. They can merge it. And if there's no temporal
correlation, there won't be any, but indeed,
if people are dying in large numbers
within 30 days of the vaccine,
that's a reasonable regulatory window of concern.
That would support, again, this global call
to get these off the market before more people die.
In your clinical practice,
are you continuing to see cardiac-related issues
related to the vaccine
that you had, for example, say a year ago?
Yeah, we're seeing the cases all day long.
In fact, I'm at American First News Network.
We're shooting the second opinion and we have with us a young gal who's a terrific CrossFit
athlete, a pilot, suffered myopericarditis with one shot of Moderna. It's ruined her. She
still isn't back. It's been about 18 months. She's seen three or four doctors, went to the
Mayo Clinic, MRI confirmed, vaccine-induced myocarditis. I saw her today in the office.
We're going to go on TV here in a few minutes. But this is every day now. Large blood clots that
are not resolving with blood thinners. I'm very worried about this. Largest blood clots I've seen clinically. FDA has published on this,
a paper by Wu and colleagues, publishing blood clots in about 3,900 patients going from the ankle
to the hip, about 11% were fatal. These are all in the peer-reviewed published literature, greatly
concerned about the cardiovascular, neurologic, thromboembolic, and immunologic
complications of the vaccines.
You mentioned that this woman you're talking about is not only an athlete, but a pilot.
There are huge safety concerns, I think, with regard to the health, the overall health and
fitness of people like pilots or bus drivers. You know, I've heard multiple reports of
school buses, you know, crashing when the school bus driver became unconscious. We know that it's
happening in the commercial airline industry with pilots. Are you seeing any, you know,
any new recommendations for, you know, what should we be doing with pilots before we allow them to
fly or school bus drivers? There's a paper in JAMA in 2020 by Daniels and colleagues,
you know, with COVID, there was such a concern with COVID before the vaccines that it would cause
myocarditis. There was an official big 10 screening program where they had a tiered
strategy of blood biomarkers, EKG,
echo, and MRI, and they adequately tested.
They didn't find much with COVID since COVID, you know, yields such few cases of clinical
myocarditis, no hospitalizations and deaths in the athletes.
But that program, which they jettisoned after COVID, they should have actually had that
for the athletes.
And I think for the pilots, they ought to go through some formalized screening program. Again, blood tests, EKG, cardiac imaging, all based on clinical
judgment. We hope the majority of them are fine, but there's a great concern. I've been impressed
by a paper by Schmeling and colleagues from Denmark. This is striking. Of everybody who took
the vaccine and they knew who had the complications, A third of people have zero complications, none. Two thirds of people have
some moderate, you know, low level complications, the arm swelling, fever, et cetera. And 4.2%
have catastrophic things happen to them. That's in the paper by Schmeling from Denmark. So some
people must have gotten bad lots. It's 4.2% of these
vials, which either have an excess amount of messenger RNA or contaminants or something.
It's probably related to specific vials. It doesn't apply to everybody taking the vaccine.
Yeah, we've reported on that. I've reported on that from the beginning. Very clearly, there is a disproportionate number of adverse events that occur with a relatively small number
of the lots. I mean, early on, they had that website, you know, how bad is my batch? And it
clearly indicated some either inconsistency or lack of quality control in the manufacturing process itself or something worse.
But I think you're right. I think there's clearly some element that some lots had either more mRNA
or because of the multi-use vials that the people who are giving these injections,
you have a multi-use vial that holds 50 doses in it, and you're getting these things in the
parking lot at the local Walmart, and you've got people giving the shots during the heat of the
vaccination program, a lot of the people giving the shots were not physicians or trained in
giving injections. Literally, it was these mass inoculation centers. And so I suspect that
there was a lot, the lack of quality that resulted in, unfortunately, a disproportionate number of
cases happening from a small number of lots. That's my take on it.
Just to clarify, I think it's six doses per vial, but multi-use, remember they use single-use files
in the randomized trials, multi-use files and injecting air and leaving them out would actually degrade the messenger RNA.
So some people, because of that phenomenon, probably ended up with few side effects.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, the ones that had very good product transport and so they could have been loaded.
And Kelly, if you remember, when we talked to Sasha Latapova, she had evidence that there were some serious manufacturing shortcomings that would lead to exactly what you guys are talking about.
Yeah.
And the lipid nanoparticles are its own.
They're deleterious negative side effects from the lipid nanoparticles themselves, independent of the mRNA and independent of production of spike proteins.
So there are just an awful lot of components of these vaccines, I think, that could be causing
some of these adverse events. But I am with Dr. McCullough in believing that there is absolutely
no rationale and no scientific justification for allowing these things to remain on the market at this point.
In the last few minutes here, Dr. McCullough, you've been so nice to give us another hour of
your time. What else would you, what have we not covered today that you think is important for us
to hear about? I think the big vistas now are going to be, I think very few people will take any more vaccines. Even Dr. Drew
is, you know, showing equipoise at this point in time and, you know, which is fine. Everybody had
their own view and I had equipoise initially, but, you know, I'm more hawkish on safety.
I think very few people would be taking any more vaccines. We need to shift our attention towards
long COVID, which is a real syndrome,
and vaccine injury, and actually the two together since most people actually have both, research
funding. I'm very excited about now three papers, one high-quality trial. Hyperbaric
oxygen appears to be really working in these syndromes. Well, this is wonderful. We've
covered nanokinase. We don't know if the other
peptidases work, seropeptidase and lumbar case. The blood clotting syndromes, my experience is
they need intensive anticoagulation. Unfortunately, they're not going away in three or six months. In
my experience, I have some patients not well over a year, no resolution of the thrombi induced by
the vaccine. And we need constant vigilance here.
The thing that's really getting people worried
is how long do these vaccines pose a risk of sudden death?
Today, we heard about Tori Bowie,
who won an Olympic gold medal in 2016.
And now seven years later, she's had sudden death.
I'm gonna have to leave it here.
I have to get going to the next shoot.
But thank you so much for having me on the show.
Be sure to follow me on across social media.
Go to my website, petermckellamd.com.
So great to be back on Dr. Drew.
And this will not be taken down from YouTube.
Thank you again.
Appreciate your time.
Amen.
Thank you as always.
We'll see you soon.
So that was interesting, Kelly. I mean, he's, as always. We'll see you soon. So that was interesting, Kelly.
I mean, he's, as always, full of very—I feel like his point of view has softened a little bit.
Am I accurate on that?
I know he's gotten clearer.
I know he's now very much clearer that he would like the vaccines taken down.
But has he softened his position, or is that just my perception?
I think he's always,
he's always so measured and it's one of the things that makes him really
wonderful.
He's very measured about things.
He,
he,
he always cites the data.
He always cites the studies.
He has a great command of the most recent research.
And he is with knowledge.
And I think importantly, Drew, and maybe what you're picking up on is that he always is willing to acknowledge, and I think importantly, Drew,
and maybe what you're picking up on, is that he always is willing to acknowledge that the vaccines
aren't the only problem, and that long COVID is in fact a real entity, and that the virus itself
causes a problem for a lot of people. So I think that's really, he's not just sort of,
it's all vaccines, and that's the only problem he's willing to acknowledge um really the importance of and so i think that's what you're picking up on um but
he's a great guest and and we we need to keep having him back regularly because he's always up
on the latest i agree my uh commitment got pushed back a few minutes do you want to take a couple
calls real quick just to see what people are thinking?
Okay.
Let's do it.
Susan,
are you cool with that?
Yeah,
I'm fine.
Oh,
you're fine.
Okay,
good.
Power to charm.
This is coming up.
I see you guys hands up.
I see you all. We'll get you up there in a second.
And you have to,
as once I call you up,
you'll be out on multiple streaming platforms. Don't forget. And you have to, once I call you up, you'll be out on multiple streaming
platforms, don't forget. And you have to unmute yourself, the mic in the lower left-hand corner,
right after we get you hooked up. There you are.
Okay. So unfortunately, because we have limited time, I can't wait while people
get things set up. So that's Mr. Love next.
Mr. Love, we'll give you a chance to come on up here.
I know your hand is up.
I see you.
There you are.
Unmute yourself, Mr. Love, so we can hear you.
There you are.
Oh, hey, Dr. Drew.
I just heard Dr. Peter Mercola.
Thank you guys for bringing me up on the platform.
But Dr. Drew
and Caleb I know I was
brought up last week I'd actually like to
recuse myself and actually bring up answers for
Sean if you would
I think he's got a telling story
I will bring him up
again he has been up here before
he has a son
that had a horrible really just
an unbelievable story of vaccine reaction.
And of course, like many family members
and patients with vaccine reactions,
they're marginalized.
So I will bring him.
Thank you, okay?
Hold on, Mr. Lev.
We'll get him up here.
Answers for Sean.
There you are.
Okay.
All right.
Have you heard this story, Kelly?
It's an awful story.
It's just heartbreaking.
I don't know.
I hear an awful lot of horrific vaccine stories.
I know.
I know.
You're on, sir.
Thank you, Dr. Drew.
And hello, Kelly.
My 17-year-old son, who played hockey his whole life, died 33 days after his very first Pfizer vaccine.
The cause of death was unascertained. Dr. Cole now has my son's tissue samples, thank God.
And it's impossible for anyone in Canada to ever get the truth, because not one pathologist here is staining slides for Spike.
Right.
I had to go to America to get help.
And
I get made fun of so much
saying I'm lying and, well,
how can I ever prove the truth in Canada
if no one can do it? And I don't
even understand why they're not doing it
when Dr. Cole has offered to teach
whoever wants to know
thank god my son's slides are with dr cole what is what is your first name again i'm sorry i know
sean is your son it's dan dan hey kelly answer me this is is dr cole going to publish his stuff
that's the one pushback i keep getting on his his material is he got a plan to put together
in some way and publish it somewhere?
Well, I think he's trying to.
He's trying to help as many people as he can, and he's offered to teach the pathologists,
as Dan pointed out, yes, we have the stains.
They are readily available to be able to differentiate between spike proteins that
are issued as a result of the virus versus spike
proteins that are in the tissues as a result of the vaccine. They stain differently. So it is
critically important to be able to do those stains because you can prove, for example,
this is vaccine-induced myocarditis or vaccine-induced nephritis versus that these are tissue injuries caused by having had the
virus itself so i i agree with dan unless you do those stains and they're not difficult uh any
pathologists can do them they just need to do the appropriate tissue sampling and use the appropriate
stains why they don't want to is beyond me. I don't know what kind of pressure
they're getting. I know the kinds of pressure that Dr. McCullough and I got to not say the
things we were saying on the open air waves. So I don't know if the same thing is happening
in the pathology within their own circles. But I'm happy to hear that at least Sean's
tissues are being evaluated and hopefully you will get an answer to this heart wrenching question.
And Dan, why don't you let people know where they can go to read more and hopefully
you'll update them on these materials as they become available.
Oh, you can come to my Twitter site and I'll be posting as soon as I hear something
from Dr. Cole, I'll let the world know.
And I think it's very important to announce to the world.
Answers, answers. Number four, Sean.
And so Sean is called S-E-A-N. So answers, number four, Sean, S-E-A-N.
All right, Dan, I, I always, you know, we get very upset. I, you know,
I just, your story is just heartbreaking.
And when you first told, Susan didn't recover
for about a week.
I think you should have some answers.
Still not recovered.
Yeah, I know.
You never get over that.
I know.
All right, Dan, thank you very much.
Thank you, Dr. Drew.
Thank you.
Yeah, that story.
I'm glad you were here, Kelly,
if you hadn't heard that before
because we've talked to him a couple of times.
And each time it's like, oh, it just brings it home.
Right.
All right.
This is kind of interesting.
Oh, here's somebody who is herself or himself injured.
So-called red pill.
I was just telling Emily I wanted to book some people who have had vaccine.
Well, I've got somebody. I want Yogendra to interview, to actually do an evaluation on the show. So,
and I, and I cleared it with him today. So a red pill. Hey, Dr. Drew, how you doing? Good. What's
up? Good. Uh, we spoke about probably about a year ago. Uh, I've been dealing with, um, a pretty
serious vaccine injury for about two years now, neurological issues, neuropathies,
POTS, so on and so forth. Quick question for you though. So one thing that's very interesting
is that like my symptoms wax and wane pretty heavily. And what I've noticed is that like,
let's say I'm intimate with my wife, right? The day after, the head pressure, the neuropathy, all that stuff kind of alleviates.
And then day two, day three, everything comes roaring back.
So I feel like it's some kind of hormone imbalance or something's going on.
Here's my guess.
Because I talked to Dr. Yogendra today about what they're finding,
and it's very clear.
It's vascular.
It's just like Dr.
Cole told us, vascular endothelial inflammation.
And so that's really where the problem is.
Although it's in other tissues and things,
the main syndrome appears to be related to
endothelial inflammation.
Other things happen as a result.
These non-classical monocytes get into the
CSF,
and there's VEGF increase,
and inflammatory cytokine markers go up.
All this stuff is all sort of probably epiphenomenon.
But again, I'm going to get him in here soon to give us an update.
But it makes sense to me in the sense
that sexual activity causes vasodilatation, lots of it.
That's why people sneeze and get runny noses
and things from things like Viagra,
because that nitric oxide activation causes dilation.
And I bet that you probably get some relief from that.
And then it's interesting, it suggests, would something like a nitric oxide inhibitor of Viagra or something help you feel better?
I would talk to your doctors about that.
Or would a vasodilator, like an amlodipine
or something like that. Again, because we don't know what we're doing here with these syndromes
yet. These are all interesting ideas to kind of talk about. Am I right, Kelly? I hear somebody
at some point saying something about Viagra as a possible therapeutic. It kind of sounds
based on what- Yeah, because I think that when you're talking about treating the vascular side
effects, then yes, something like any vasodilators, which would certainly include something like amlodipine,
as you said, or Viagra and many, many others.
But again, these are things that we just sort of have to try using some stuff, quote, off
label, you know, the dreaded off label, but we've always done it.
Oh God, how dare you?
How dare you? Try to help your patient?
My God. Same way we came to steroids and hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, because
using things off-label is a mainstay. It's been a cornerstone of medicine. And so I think that
getting to the adequate treatment of people with long COVID or with vaccine injuries is going to rely upon us
to repurpose drugs based on the symptomatology and to be creative.
Yep. Yep. I totally agree. And again, Dr. Yogendra will tell us about some of the things
they've been doing and they've got all kinds of interesting ideas. So Kelly, thank you as always.
I appreciate you very much. And thank you for helping us get Dr. McCullough in here. And next up for you and I is with Ed Dowd. I guess he's got some sort of interesting update for us.
He always does. I'll tell you, he is unbelievable in terms of, you know, he just keeps gathering more and more data and analyzes it in different ways and has a really great way of presenting it, I think, accessible to people
who aren't necessarily scientific with regard to their backgrounds.
So yes, he's joining us on Monday the 8th at our usual time, 3 p.m. Pacific time on
Monday.
And then tomorrow, I'm going to talk to our friend, Bobby Chacon, who's an FBI agent,
talk a little bit about what's going on at the FBI.
Nikolai Petrovsky may 9th that
should be interesting you're with that too aren't you i am i am he is i don't tell me about nikolai
do you know i don't know his story i've seen his name around i i don't know yeah i don't know much
about him no i don't know a lot about him i may have referred that i may have referred him
yeah occasionally i will come upon people like, ooh, we've got to talk to these guys.
And I never remember their names.
I'm all in.
Yeah, so apologies that I don't
recall this, but I find them on
social media or somewhere. I think this is really interesting.
We should thump on them and see what's up.
Also, Nicole Sapphire
is coming in a couple of weeks as well. Is that correct,
Susan? We're trying to move her to the 15th.
Fair enough. Okay, everybody, thank you all for being here.
Sorry, but I hung up on Twitter Spaces by accident.
It really was, I don't even know how I did it.
Good job.
But it hung up.
So thank all of you over on Restream,
and of course at Rumble, we see the rants,
and we'll see you tomorrow at 3 o'clock.
Ta-ta.
