00:00<\/p>\n

good afternoon I\u2019m Dr. Peter Mccullough<\/p>\n

00:02<\/p>\n

and I\u2019m an internist and cardiologist<\/p>\n

00:04<\/p>\n

and professor of medicine at Texas a m<\/p>\n

00:06<\/p>\n

university school of medicine I\u2019m on the<\/p>\n

00:08<\/p>\n

Baylor Dallas campus<\/p>\n

00:11<\/p>\n

and I\u2019ve been integrally involved in the<\/p>\n

00:14<\/p>\n

response to covet 19.<\/p>\n

00:16<\/p>\n

now the opinions I\u2019ll express are those<\/p>\n

00:19<\/p>\n

of my own<\/p>\n

00:20<\/p>\n

and not necessarily those of my<\/p>\n

00:21<\/p>\n

institution<\/p>\n

00:23<\/p>\n

I can tell you that in my field I\u2019m an<\/p>\n

00:26<\/p>\n

academic doctor I see patients but I\u2019m<\/p>\n

00:28<\/p>\n

very involved in research<\/p>\n

00:30<\/p>\n

I\u2019m an editor of two major journals in<\/p>\n

00:32<\/p>\n

my field<\/p>\n

00:34<\/p>\n

I\u2019m the most published person in my<\/p>\n

00:36<\/p>\n

field which deals with the heart and the<\/p>\n

00:37<\/p>\n

kidneys<\/p>\n

00:38<\/p>\n

in the world in history and when covet<\/p>\n

00:41<\/p>\n

19<\/p>\n

00:42<\/p>\n

hit I saw it as our medical super bowl<\/p>\n

00:45<\/p>\n

and there were going to be doctors like<\/p>\n

00:46<\/p>\n

Dr. Urso coming out of<\/p>\n

00:49<\/p>\n

wherever they worked to face the virus<\/p>\n

00:52<\/p>\n

and there were doctors in the hospital<\/p>\n

00:54<\/p>\n

that just had to receive<\/p>\n

00:55<\/p>\n

the virus and then there were those who<\/p>\n

00:58<\/p>\n

headed for the sidelines<\/p>\n

01:00<\/p>\n

and then there were those that were<\/p>\n

01:02<\/p>\n

detractors against the pandemic<\/p>\n

01:05<\/p>\n

and so as i started to survey the<\/p>\n

01:07<\/p>\n

literature<\/p>\n

01:08<\/p>\n

i had patients with heart and lung<\/p>\n

01:10<\/p>\n

disease who needed urgent treatment<\/p>\n

01:13<\/p>\n

and i refused to let an illness which<\/p>\n

01:15<\/p>\n

lasted for two weeks at home<\/p>\n

01:18<\/p>\n

before they got sick enough to be<\/p>\n

01:19<\/p>\n

Hospitalized<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

i refused to let a patient<\/p>\n

01:22<\/p>\n

languish at home<\/p>\n

01:23<\/p>\n

with no treatment and then be<\/p>\n

01:25<\/p>\n

hospitalized when it was too late it was<\/p>\n

01:27<\/p>\n

obvious that was obvious in<\/p>\n

01:28<\/p>\n

april that that was the case so i used<\/p>\n

01:31<\/p>\n

the best<\/p>\n

01:32<\/p>\n

tools or drugs available at the time and<\/p>\n

01:35<\/p>\n

these are<\/p>\n

01:35<\/p>\n

appropriately prescribed<\/p>\n

01:38<\/p>\n

off label remember a label is an<\/strong><\/p>\n

01:40<\/strong><\/p>\n

advertising label a label isn’t a<\/strong><\/p>\n

01:42<\/strong><\/p>\n

scientific document<\/strong><\/p>\n

01:43<\/p>\n

sure it’s there is an<\/p>\n

01:44<\/p>\n

appropriately prescribed<\/p>\n

01:46<\/p>\n

off-label use of conventional medicine<\/p>\n

01:49<\/p>\n

to treat<\/p>\n

01:50<\/p>\n

an illness and i uh in may i put<\/p>\n

01:54<\/p>\n

together a team of doctors<\/p>\n

01:55<\/p>\n

because the the group that was<\/p>\n

01:57<\/p>\n

facing the pandemic to the greatest<\/p>\n

01:59<\/p>\n

degree was in milan italy so most of<\/p>\n

02:00<\/p>\n

them were in the coracle<\/p>\n

02:02<\/p>\n

italian research network we summarized<\/p>\n

02:04<\/p>\n

all we knew about the available drugs<\/p>\n

02:07<\/p>\n

and we published our findings in the<\/p>\n

02:08<\/p>\n

august<\/p>\n

02:10<\/p>\n

8th issue of the american journal<\/p>\n

02:12<\/p>\n

medicine and the title of that paper was<\/p>\n

02:14<\/p>\n

the pathophysiologic basis and rationale<\/p>\n

02:17<\/p>\n

for early ambulatory treatment and it<\/p>\n

02:19<\/p>\n

had a premise<\/p>\n

02:20<\/p>\n

there’s two bad outcomes to covet 19<\/p>\n

02:22<\/p>\n

hospitalization and death<\/p>\n

02:24<\/p>\n

the second premise if we don’t do<\/p>\n

02:26<\/p>\n

something before the hospitalization<\/p>\n

02:28<\/p>\n

we can never stop it. and i have to tell you when<\/p>\n

02:32<\/p>\n

i was a lead author in that paper but we<\/p>\n

02:34<\/p>\n

had dozens of authors from italy<\/p>\n

02:36<\/p>\n

india ucla emory we had the best<\/p>\n

02:39<\/p>\n

institutions in the united states<\/p>\n

02:40<\/p>\n

i can tell you the interesting thing was<\/p>\n

02:42<\/p>\n

there was 50 000 papers in the<\/strong><\/p>\n

02:44<\/strong><\/p>\n

peer-reviewed literature on covid<\/strong><\/p>\n

02:46<\/strong><\/p>\n

not a single one told the doctor how to<\/strong><\/p>\n

02:48<\/strong><\/p>\n

treat it<\/strong><\/p>\n

02:49<\/p>\n

not a single one. when does that happen? i<\/p>\n

02:52<\/p>\n

was absolutely stunned and when this<\/p>\n

02:54<\/p>\n

paper was published in american journal<\/p>\n

02:55<\/p>\n

medicine it became a lightning rod oh my<\/p>\n

02:57<\/p>\n

gosh it became the most cited paper<\/p>\n

02:59<\/p>\n

in basically all of medicine at that<\/p>\n

03:00<\/p>\n

time the world started and boy the world<\/p>\n

03:03<\/p>\n

started knocking down my door and i said<\/p>\n

03:04<\/p>\n

oh my lord i just can’t believe what<\/p>\n

03:06<\/p>\n

became untapped and um i<\/p>\n

03:09<\/p>\n

had never been on social media before<\/p>\n

03:12<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

03:13<\/p>\n

my daughter who was home from law school<\/p>\n

03:15<\/p>\n

was talking to her about it she said<\/p>\n

03:16<\/p>\n

well why don’t i make a youtube video<\/p>\n

03:18<\/p>\n

so i made a youtube video with four<\/p>\n

03:20<\/p>\n

slides from the paper<\/p>\n

03:22<\/p>\n

this is a peer-reviewed paper published<\/p>\n

03:23<\/p>\n

in one of the best medical journals<\/p>\n

03:25<\/p>\n

in the world four slides i even wore a<\/p>\n

03:27<\/p>\n

tie in a suit and she showed me how to<\/p>\n

03:29<\/p>\n

record it in powerpoint and i posted on<\/p>\n

03:31<\/p>\n

youtube<\/p>\n

03:32<\/p>\n

it went absolutely viral and within<\/p>\n

03:34<\/p>\n

about a week<\/p>\n

03:35<\/p>\n

youtube said you violated the terms of<\/p>\n

03:38<\/p>\n

the of the um<\/p>\n

03:39<\/p>\n

community and that’s when senator<\/p>\n

03:41<\/p>\n

johnson’s office got involved in<\/p>\n

03:43<\/p>\n

washington said oh my gosh this is<\/p>\n

03:44<\/p>\n

important scientific<\/p>\n

03:45<\/p>\n

information to help patients in the<\/p>\n

03:48<\/p>\n

middle of this crisis<\/p>\n

03:49<\/p>\n

and social media is striking it down<\/p>\n

03:51<\/p>\n

based on what authority<\/p>\n

03:53<\/p>\n

well one thing led to another uh and i<\/p>\n

03:55<\/p>\n

became the lead witness for the u.s<\/p>\n

03:57<\/p>\n

senate testimony of<\/p>\n

03:58<\/p>\n

november 19 2020 and the reason why<\/p>\n

04:00<\/p>\n

there was senate testimony<\/p>\n

04:02<\/p>\n

is because there was a near total block<\/p>\n

04:05<\/p>\n

on any information of treatment to<\/p>\n

04:07<\/p>\n

patients<\/p>\n

04:08<\/p>\n

a near total block and so what had<\/p>\n

04:11<\/p>\n

happened over time<\/p>\n

04:12<\/p>\n

is that we had gotten into a cycle in<\/p>\n

04:14<\/p>\n

america<\/p>\n

04:15<\/p>\n

uh of no information on treatment<\/p>\n

04:18<\/p>\n

patients actually think<\/p>\n

04:19<\/p>\n

that the virus is untreatable and so<\/p>\n

04:21<\/p>\n

what happens is they go out to get a<\/p>\n

04:23<\/p>\n

diagnosis<\/p>\n

04:24<\/p>\n

now i’m a covid survivor my wife in<\/p>\n

04:26<\/p>\n

the galley is a covid survivor my<\/p>\n

04:27<\/p>\n

father in a nursing home is a covid<\/p>\n

04:28<\/p>\n

survivor<\/p>\n

04:30<\/p>\n

you get handed a diagnostic test it says<\/p>\n

04:34<\/p>\n

here you’re covid positive go home<\/p>\n

04:37<\/p>\n

is there any treatment no. is there any<\/p>\n

04:39<\/p>\n

resources i can call<\/p>\n

04:41<\/p>\n

No. any referral lines hotlines no. any<\/p>\n

04:43<\/p>\n

research hotlines<\/p>\n

04:44<\/p>\n

No. that’s the standard of care in the<\/p>\n

04:47<\/p>\n

united states<\/p>\n

04:48<\/p>\n

and if we go to any one of our testing<\/p>\n

04:50<\/p>\n

centers today in the in texas<\/p>\n

04:51<\/p>\n

i bet that’s the standard of care i bet<\/p>\n

04:54<\/p>\n

that’s the standard of care<\/p>\n

04:55<\/p>\n

no wonder we have had 45 000<\/p>\n

04:58<\/p>\n

deaths in texas the average person in<\/p>\n

05:00<\/p>\n

texas thinks there’s no treatment<\/p>\n

05:03<\/p>\n

they honestly think there’s no treatment<\/p>\n

05:05<\/p>\n

they don’t even know about these eua<\/p>\n

05:07<\/p>\n

antibodies you heard from<\/p>\n

05:08<\/p>\n

a 90 year old gentleman who got bam<\/p>\n

05:10<\/p>\n

terrific<\/p>\n

05:12<\/p>\n

where’s the focus there’s such a focus<\/p>\n

05:14<\/p>\n

on the vaccine where’s the focus on<\/strong><\/p>\n

05:16<\/strong><\/p>\n

people sick right now<\/strong><\/p>\n

05:17<\/p>\n

this committee ought to know where all<\/p>\n

05:19<\/p>\n

these monoclonal antibodies are they<\/p>\n

05:21<\/p>\n

ought to know where all the treatment<\/p>\n

05:22<\/p>\n

protocols are<\/p>\n

05:23<\/p>\n

they ought to have a list of the<\/p>\n

05:24<\/p>\n

treatment centers in texas that actually<\/p>\n

05:27<\/p>\n

treat patients with covet 19. so i led<\/p>\n

05:30<\/p>\n

the initiative<\/p>\n

05:31<\/p>\n

the second paper was published in a<\/p>\n

05:32<\/p>\n

dedicated issue of reviews in<\/p>\n

05:34<\/p>\n

cardiovascular medicine now i had<\/p>\n

05:36<\/p>\n

57 authors including dr urso dr<\/p>\n

05:39<\/p>\n

emanuel lead doctors in houston san<\/p>\n

05:42<\/p>\n

antonio all over and it was<\/p>\n

05:43<\/p>\n

another worldwide paper and now we have<\/p>\n

05:45<\/p>\n

it updated integrated<\/p>\n

05:47<\/p>\n

so yes we used drugs to affect viable<\/p>\n

05:49<\/p>\n

replication the antibodies are terrific<\/p>\n

05:51<\/p>\n

we can use intracellular anti-infectives<\/p>\n

05:54<\/p>\n

in that box<\/p>\n

05:55<\/p>\n

we use corticosteroids and inflammatory<\/p>\n

05:57<\/p>\n

drugs the best anti-inflammatory drug is<\/p>\n

05:59<\/p>\n

colchicine<\/p>\n

06:00<\/p>\n

you’ve probably never heard about it in<\/p>\n

06:01<\/p>\n

the largest highest quality randomized<\/p>\n

06:04<\/p>\n

trial<\/p>\n

06:04<\/p>\n

over 4 000 patients, double blind<\/strong><\/p>\n

06:07<\/strong><\/p>\n

randomized placebo-controlled trial<\/strong><\/p>\n

06:09<\/strong><\/p>\n

there’s a 50 %<\/strong><\/p>\n

06:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

reduction in mortality. no word of it<\/strong><\/p>\n

06:13<\/strong><\/p>\n

none complete block to anybody<\/p>\n

06:16<\/p>\n

culture scene how can that be how can<\/p>\n

06:19<\/p>\n

that be and then the most deadly part of<\/strong><\/p>\n

06:21<\/strong><\/p>\n

the viral<\/strong><\/p>\n

06:22<\/strong><\/p>\n

infection is thrombosis<\/strong> so i have always<\/p>\n

06:25<\/p>\n

treated my patients<\/p>\n

06:26<\/p>\n

with something to treat the virus<\/p>\n

06:28<\/p>\n

something to treat inflammation and<\/p>\n

06:30<\/p>\n

something to treat thrombosis just as<\/p>\n

06:31<\/p>\n

dr urso had<\/p>\n

06:33<\/p>\n

and i have very very sick patients and<\/p>\n

06:35<\/p>\n

i’ve lost two<\/p>\n

06:38<\/p>\n

but i have to tell you what has gone on<\/p>\n

06:40<\/p>\n

has been beyond<\/p>\n

06:41<\/p>\n

belief how many of you have turned on a<\/p>\n

06:44<\/p>\n

local news station<\/p>\n

06:45<\/p>\n

or a national cable news station and<\/p>\n

06:48<\/p>\n

ever gotten an<\/p>\n

06:49<\/p>\n

update on treatment at home<\/p>\n

06:52<\/p>\n

how many of you have ever gotten a<\/p>\n

06:54<\/p>\n

single word about what to do when you<\/p>\n

06:56<\/p>\n

get<\/p>\n

06:57<\/p>\n

the hand of the diagnosis of 19. no<\/p>\n

07:00<\/p>\n

wonder<\/p>\n

07:01<\/p>\n

that is a complete and total failure at<\/strong><\/p>\n

07:04<\/strong><\/p>\n

every level<\/strong><\/p>\n

07:05<\/p>\n

okay let’s take the white house how come<\/p>\n

07:07<\/p>\n

we didn’t have a panel of doctors<\/p>\n

07:09<\/p>\n

assigned to put all their efforts and<\/p>\n

07:12<\/p>\n

stop these hospitalizations<\/p>\n

07:13<\/p>\n

why don’t we have doctors who actually<\/p>\n

07:15<\/p>\n

treated patients get together<\/p>\n

07:17<\/p>\n

in a group and every week give us an<\/p>\n

07:19<\/p>\n

update<\/p>\n

07:20<\/p>\n

why didn’t we have that why didn’t we<\/p>\n

07:22<\/p>\n

have that at the state level zero<\/p>\n

07:24<\/p>\n

why don’t we have any reports about how<\/p>\n

07:26<\/p>\n

many patients were treated<\/p>\n

07:27<\/p>\n

in spared hospitalizations from all that<\/p>\n

07:29<\/p>\n

i listen to six hours of testimony today<\/p>\n

07:31<\/p>\n

zero zero we have a complete and total<\/p>\n

07:36<\/p>\n

blank spot<\/p>\n

07:37<\/p>\n

on treatment it is a blanking phenomenon<\/p>\n

07:41<\/p>\n

at least in the united states there’s<\/p>\n

07:42<\/p>\n

some heroes now the american society of<\/p>\n

07:44<\/p>\n

physician and surgeons<\/p>\n

07:45<\/p>\n

took the lead they’re the group they’ve<\/p>\n

07:47<\/p>\n

identified 35 treatment centers in texas<\/p>\n

07:49<\/p>\n

they know who they are<\/p>\n

07:50<\/p>\n

they have emergency hotlines they helped<\/p>\n

07:53<\/p>\n

dr hall put together<\/p>\n

07:54<\/p>\n

this very brief pamphlet but there’s<\/p>\n

07:56<\/p>\n

more an extensive one we can pass it<\/p>\n

07:58<\/p>\n

around to everyone<\/p>\n

07:59<\/p>\n

that at least gives people half a chance<\/p>\n

08:01<\/p>\n

to find out<\/p>\n

08:02<\/p>\n

about information okay this is a<\/strong><\/p>\n

08:06<\/strong><\/p>\n

complete and total travesty to have a<\/strong><\/p>\n

08:08<\/strong><\/p>\n

fatal disease<\/strong><\/p>\n

08:09<\/strong><\/p>\n

and not treat it <\/strong>now the national<\/p>\n

08:11<\/p>\n

institutes of health and the infectious<\/p>\n

08:13<\/p>\n

disease design of<\/p>\n

08:14<\/p>\n

america started putting out guidelines<\/p>\n

08:16<\/p>\n

in the treatment of covet 19<\/p>\n

08:17<\/p>\n

and to this date they nearly exclusively<\/p>\n

08:20<\/p>\n

deal with a hospitalized patient<\/p>\n

08:22<\/p>\n

the two papers that i have published as<\/p>\n

08:24<\/p>\n

the lead author<\/p>\n

08:25<\/p>\n

and supported by wonderful people by dr<\/p>\n

08:27<\/p>\n

urso are the<\/p>\n

08:28<\/p>\n

only publications in the peer-reviewed<\/p>\n

08:31<\/p>\n

literature<\/p>\n

08:32<\/p>\n

that tell doctors how to treat covet 19<\/p>\n

08:34<\/p>\n

as an outpatient<\/p>\n

08:36<\/p>\n

based on the support of scientific<\/p>\n

08:37<\/p>\n

information the only two<\/p>\n

08:39<\/p>\n

the home treatment guide by the american<\/p>\n

08:41<\/p>\n

physicians and surgeons<\/p>\n

08:42<\/p>\n

is the only source of information<\/p>\n

08:45<\/p>\n

available to patients<\/p>\n

08:46<\/p>\n

on how to treat cova 19 at home the only<\/p>\n

08:49<\/p>\n

source<\/p>\n

08:50<\/p>\n

so what can be done right here right now<\/p>\n

08:51<\/p>\n

there’s going to be more people that die<\/p>\n

08:53<\/p>\n

in texas and it’s an absolute tragedy<\/p>\n

08:54<\/p>\n

how about tomorrow let’s have a law that<\/strong><\/p>\n

08:57<\/strong><\/p>\n

says there’s not a single result given<\/strong><\/p>\n

08:59<\/strong><\/p>\n

out<\/strong><\/p>\n

08:59<\/strong><\/p>\n

without a treatment guide and without a<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:02<\/strong><\/p>\n

hotline of how to get into research<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:04<\/strong><\/p>\n

let’s put a staffer on this and find out<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:06<\/strong><\/p>\n

all the research available in texas and<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:07<\/strong><\/p>\n

let’s not have a single person go home<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

with with a test result with their fatal<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:12<\/strong><\/p>\n

diagnosis<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:13<\/strong><\/p>\n

sitting at home going into two weeks of<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

despair before they succumb to<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:17<\/strong><\/p>\n

hospitalization and death<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:19<\/strong><\/p>\n

it is unimaginable in america that we<\/p>\n

09:22<\/p>\n

can have such a complete and total blind<\/p>\n

09:23<\/p>\n

spot<\/p>\n

09:24<\/p>\n

i blame the doctors for not stepping up.<\/p>\n

09:26<\/p>\n

where was the medical society<\/p>\n

09:28<\/p>\n

stepping up and putting effort on this?<\/p>\n

09:30<\/p>\n

how about from the federal and state<\/p>\n

09:31<\/p>\n

Agencies? there never was<\/p>\n

09:33<\/p>\n

a single bit of group collaborative<\/p>\n

09:36<\/p>\n

effort to stop the hospitalizations.<\/p>\n

09:39<\/p>\n

nobody even kind of thought about it bob<\/p>\n

09:41<\/p>\n

hall had me hana<\/p>\n

09:42<\/p>\n

teleconference in in april or may and<\/p>\n

09:44<\/p>\n

we’re like wait a minute<\/p>\n

09:45<\/p>\n

how come where’s ut southwestern i’m a<\/p>\n

09:47<\/p>\n

graduate of ut southwestern<\/p>\n

09:49<\/p>\n

where’s a m where’s the rest of the<\/p>\n

09:51<\/p>\n

universities how come we’re not stopping<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:52<\/strong><\/p>\n

this<\/strong><\/p>\n

09:53<\/p>\n

but it<\/p>\n

09:55<\/p>\n

gets worse because<\/p>\n

09:57<\/p>\n

in the paper i published in december of<\/p>\n

09:59<\/p>\n

of 2020 you know what he did. i had<\/p>\n

10:01<\/p>\n

a terrific<\/p>\n

10:02<\/p>\n

doctor from brazil we went through<\/p>\n

10:04<\/p>\n

country by country by country and just<\/p>\n

10:06<\/p>\n

asked the question what<\/p>\n

10:07<\/p>\n

are the countries doing was the last<\/p>\n

10:09<\/p>\n

time you turned on the news and ever got<\/p>\n

10:11<\/p>\n

a window to the outside world<\/p>\n

10:13<\/p>\n

when did you ever get an update about<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

how the rest of the world is handling<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:17<\/strong><\/p>\n

covet<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:19<\/strong><\/p>\n

never<\/strong> what’s happened in this pandemic<\/p>\n

10:21<\/p>\n

is the world has closed in on us there’s<\/p>\n

10:23<\/p>\n

only one doctor<\/p>\n

10:25<\/p>\n

whose face is on tv now one not a panel<\/p>\n

10:28<\/p>\n

doctors we always work in groups we<\/p>\n

10:29<\/p>\n

always have different opinions there’s<\/p>\n

10:32<\/p>\n

not a single media doctor<\/p>\n

10:34<\/p>\n

on tv who’s ever treated a covid patient<\/p>\n

10:37<\/p>\n

not a single one there’s not a single<\/p>\n

10:40<\/p>\n

person in the white house task force has<\/p>\n

10:41<\/p>\n

ever treated a patient<\/p>\n

10:43<\/p>\n

why don’t we do something both why don’t<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:44<\/strong><\/p>\n

we put together a panel of doctors that<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:46<\/strong><\/p>\n

have actually treated outpatients of<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:48<\/strong><\/p>\n

covet 19<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:49<\/strong><\/p>\n

and get them together for our meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:51<\/strong><\/p>\n

and why don’t we exchange ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:53<\/strong><\/p>\n

and why don’t we say how we can finish<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:55<\/strong><\/p>\n

the pandemic strongly<\/strong><\/p>\n

10:56<\/p>\n

isn’t it amazing think about this think<\/p>\n

10:59<\/p>\n

about the complete and total blind spot<\/p>\n

11:01<\/p>\n

so what happened i can tell you what<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:02<\/strong><\/p>\n

happened in around may<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:04<\/strong><\/p>\n

it became known that the virus was going<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:06<\/strong><\/p>\n

to be amenable to a vaccine<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:09<\/strong><\/p>\n

all efforts on treatment were dropped<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:11<\/p>\n

the national institutes of health<\/p>\n

11:12<\/p>\n

actually had a multi-drug program<\/p>\n

11:14<\/p>\n

they dropped it after 20 patients said<\/p>\n

11:15<\/p>\n

we can’t find the patients<\/p>\n

11:17<\/p>\n

the most disingenuous announcement of<\/p>\n

11:18<\/p>\n

all time and then warp speed went<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:21<\/strong><\/p>\n

full tilt for vaccine development and<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:24<\/strong><\/p>\n

there was a silencing of any information<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:27<\/strong><\/p>\n

on<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:27<\/strong><\/p>\n

treatment any silencing<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:31<\/strong><\/p>\n

scrubbed from twitter youtube can’t get<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:34<\/strong><\/p>\n

papers published on this<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:35<\/strong><\/p>\n

you can’t we can’t even get information<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:37<\/strong><\/p>\n

out in our own medical literature on<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:39<\/strong><\/p>\n

this<\/strong><\/p>\n

11:39<\/p>\n

there’s been a complete scrubbing so<\/p>\n

11:41<\/p>\n

this program has been one of<\/p>\n

11:43<\/p>\n

try to reduce the spread of the virus<\/p>\n

11:45<\/p>\n

and wait for a vaccine<\/p>\n

11:47<\/p>\n

and when we’ve when we vaccinate all<\/p>\n

11:49<\/p>\n

efforts have to be on vaccination and<\/p>\n

11:51<\/p>\n

probably if i had four hours of<\/p>\n

11:52<\/p>\n

vaccination on here think about it as we<\/p>\n

11:54<\/p>\n

sit here today<\/p>\n

11:56<\/p>\n

the calculations in texas on herd<\/p>\n

11:58<\/p>\n

immunity<\/p>\n

11:59<\/p>\n

the calculations are we’re at eighty<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:01<\/strong><\/p>\n

percent herd immunity right now<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:03<\/strong><\/p>\n

with no vaccine effect<\/strong> 80%<\/p>\n

12:05<\/p>\n

and more people are developing covid<\/p>\n

12:07<\/p>\n

today<\/p>\n

12:07<\/p>\n

they’re gonna become immune<\/strong>.
\npeople who<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:09<\/strong><\/p>\n

develop covid have<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

complete and durable immunity<\/strong> and a very<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:14<\/strong><\/p>\n

important principle<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

complete and durable<\/strong> you can’t beat<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:17<\/strong><\/p>\n

natural immunity you can’t vaccinate on<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:19<\/strong><\/p>\n

top of it and make it better<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:21<\/strong><\/p>\n

there’s no scientific clinical<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:24<\/strong><\/p>\n

or safety rationale for ever vaccinating<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:28<\/strong><\/p>\n

a covid<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:29<\/strong><\/p>\n

recovered patient.<\/strong><\/p>\n

there’s no rationale<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:31<\/strong><\/p>\n

for ever testing a covid recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:33<\/strong><\/p>\n

patient my wife and i are covered<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:34<\/strong><\/p>\n

recovered<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:34<\/strong><\/p>\n

why do we go through the testing outside<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:36<\/strong><\/p>\n

there’s absolutely no rationale<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:38<\/p>\n

i’d encourage this committee to actually<\/p>\n

12:40<\/p>\n

look at what’s being done<\/p>\n

12:42<\/p>\n

and ask is there any rationale is there<\/p>\n

12:44<\/p>\n

any rationale for anything?<\/p>\n

12:46<\/p>\n

listen there’s plenty of covid to<\/p>\n

12:48<\/p>\n

recover patients let them forego the<\/p>\n

12:50<\/p>\n

vaccine<\/p>\n

12:51<\/p>\n

and let people who are clamoring for it<\/p>\n

12:53<\/p>\n

get it but at 80 percent<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:55<\/strong><\/p>\n

hurt immunity in the vaccine trials<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:57<\/strong><\/p>\n

fewer than one percent<\/strong><\/p>\n

12:59<\/strong><\/p>\n

in the vaccine in the placebo actually<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:01<\/strong><\/p>\n

get coveted fewer than one percent<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:03<\/strong><\/p>\n

the vaccine is going to have a one<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:04<\/strong><\/p>\n

percent public health impact<\/strong> that’s what<\/p>\n

13:06<\/p>\n

the data says<\/p>\n

13:08<\/p>\n

it’s not going to save us we’re already<\/p>\n

13:09<\/p>\n

80 hurt immune<\/p>\n

13:11<\/p>\n

if we’re strategically targeted we can<\/p>\n

13:14<\/p>\n

actually close out the pandemic<\/p>\n

13:15<\/p>\n

very well with the vaccine but<\/p>\n

13:17<\/p>\n

strategically targeted people under 50<\/p>\n

13:19<\/p>\n

who fundamentally have no<\/p>\n

13:21<\/p>\n

health risks? there’s no scientific<\/p>\n

13:24<\/p>\n

rationale for them to ever become<\/p>\n

13:26<\/p>\n

Vaccinated.<\/p>\n

13:28<\/p>\n

there’s no scientific rationale. one of<\/p>\n

13:30<\/p>\n

the mistakes i heard today as a<\/p>\n

13:32<\/p>\n

rationale for vaccination as<\/p>\n

13:33<\/p>\n

asymptomatic spread and i want you to be<\/p>\n

13:34<\/p>\n

very clear about this my opinion is<\/p>\n

13:38<\/p>\n

there is a low degree if any of<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:41<\/strong><\/p>\n

asymptomatic spread<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:42<\/p>\n

sick person gives it to sick person.<\/p>\n

the<\/p>\n

13:45<\/p>\n

chinese have published a study british<\/p>\n

13:46<\/p>\n

medical journal<\/p>\n

13:47<\/p>\n

11 million people that try to find<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:49<\/strong><\/p>\n

asymptomatic spread you can’t find it<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:51<\/p>\n

and that’s been you know one of<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:53<\/strong><\/p>\n

important pieces of<\/strong><\/p>\n

13:55<\/strong><\/p>\n

Misinformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

when senator hall called<\/p>\n

13:58<\/p>\n

a conference call<\/p>\n

13:58<\/p>\n

what should we do in the capitol when we<\/p>\n

14:00<\/p>\n

reopened i said you know what you know<\/p>\n

14:03<\/p>\n

what we do at baylor<\/p>\n

14:04<\/p>\n

you walk in and they zap your<\/p>\n

14:05<\/p>\n

temperature you got a temperature check<\/p>\n

14:06<\/p>\n

and go in.<\/p>\n

14:08<\/p>\n

i mean do we test everybody who walks in<\/p>\n

14:10<\/p>\n

the baylor hospital no are they a lot<\/p>\n

14:12<\/p>\n

sicker than everybody in this room you<\/p>\n

14:13<\/p>\n

better believe it<\/p>\n

14:14<\/p>\n

so why would we do something here at the<\/p>\n

14:15<\/p>\n

capitol<\/p>\n

14:17<\/p>\n

that has absolutely positively no<\/p>\n

14:19<\/p>\n

scientific rationale<\/p>\n

14:20<\/p>\n

and then do it in this context?
\nso my<\/p>\n

14:23<\/p>\n

testimony as i said here today<\/p>\n

14:25<\/p>\n

is covet 19 has always been a treatable<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:27<\/strong><\/p>\n

illness<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:28<\/strong><\/p>\n

a very large study from mckinney texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:30<\/strong><\/p>\n

another one from new york city<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:32<\/strong><\/p>\n

show that when doctors treat patients<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:35<\/strong><\/p>\n

early<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:35<\/strong><\/p>\n

who are over age 50 with medical<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:37<\/strong><\/p>\n

problems with a sequence multi-drug<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:39<\/strong><\/p>\n

approach with the available drugs uh<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:41<\/strong><\/p>\n

four to six drugs that are available<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:44<\/strong><\/p>\n

to them now the monoclonal antibiotics<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:46<\/strong><\/p>\n

are better there’s an<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:47<\/strong><\/p>\n

85 reduction in hospitalizations and<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:50<\/strong><\/p>\n

death<\/strong><\/p>\n

14:51<\/p>\n

85 85 percent i want you to remember<\/p>\n

14:56<\/p>\n

that number 85 percent<\/p>\n

14:58<\/p>\n

we have over 500 000 deaths in the<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

united states<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:03<\/strong><\/p>\n

the preventable fraction could have been<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:05<\/strong><\/p>\n

as high as 85 percent<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:07<\/strong><\/p>\n

if our pandemic response would have been<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

laser focused<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:11<\/strong><\/p>\n

on the problem the sick patient right in<\/strong><\/p>\n

15:13<\/strong><\/p>\n

front of us<\/strong> we’re focused over here and<\/p>\n

15:14<\/p>\n

focused over there and focused on masks<\/p>\n

15:16<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

15:16<\/p>\n

what have you laser focused sick patient<\/p>\n

15:19<\/p>\n

treat them<\/p>\n

15:20<\/p>\n

we lost focus on the most fundamental<\/p>\n

15:22<\/p>\n

doctor that’s my that’s my testimony.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15:24<\/p>\n

yeah thank you i can tell how passionate<\/p>\n

15:27<\/p>\n

you are and certainly i have been a<\/p>\n

15:29<\/p>\n

leader<\/p>\n

15:29<\/p>\n

in talking about preventive protocols<\/p>\n

15:32<\/p>\n

and also the ambulatory stage and i do<\/p>\n

15:35<\/p>\n

think that that has been missing<\/p>\n

15:37<\/p>\n

and it’s been a concern because covid 19<\/p>\n

15:39<\/p>\n

is going to be with us right i mean it’s<\/p>\n

15:41<\/p>\n

uh<\/p>\n

15:42<\/p>\n

you know i hope we’re at 80 percent<\/p>\n

15:44<\/p>\n

heard immunity i don’t know yet i’ll<\/p>\n

15:46<\/p>\n

read your papers but<\/p>\n

15:47<\/p>\n

um i appreciate that and the message is<\/p>\n

15:50<\/p>\n

is that there are drugs out there that<\/p>\n

15:51<\/p>\n

work<\/p>\n

15:52<\/p>\n

there are therapies out there that work<\/p>\n

15:54<\/p>\n

but no single one works alone<\/p>\n

15:56<\/p>\n

and so the the the dismissive mistake<\/p>\n

15:58<\/p>\n

was to do a very small study oh we<\/p>\n

16:00<\/p>\n

studied 200 patients<\/p>\n

16:01<\/p>\n

and we used ivory hydroxychloroquine and<\/p>\n

16:04<\/p>\n

it didn’t work that’s like<\/p>\n

16:05<\/p>\n

cancer and picking one drug and saying<\/p>\n

16:07<\/p>\n

oh it doesn’t reduce cancer mortality we<\/p>\n

16:09<\/p>\n

never do that in cancer we never did<\/p>\n

16:10<\/p>\n

that in aids we don’t do in hepatitis c<\/p>\n

16:13<\/p>\n

what we look is for is signals of<\/p>\n

16:14<\/p>\n

benefit and acceptable safety and then<\/p>\n

16:17<\/p>\n

we combine them<\/p>\n

16:18<\/p>\n

and that’s what that’s all we’ve done so<\/p>\n

16:20<\/p>\n

but but but this<\/p>\n

16:21<\/p>\n

independent declaration drug by drug<\/p>\n

16:23<\/p>\n

that drugs don’t work<\/p>\n

16:25<\/p>\n

has been uh and that’s on that’s on us<\/p>\n

16:27<\/p>\n

that’s been our medical house<\/p>\n

16:28<\/p>\n

that’s been a a giant um error<\/p>\n

16:31<\/p>\n

that we’ve made on our side we never<\/p>\n

16:33<\/p>\n

should have expected single drugs to<\/p>\n

16:35<\/p>\n

reduce mortality<\/p>\n

16:36<\/p>\n

but drugs in combination against a fatal<\/p>\n

16:38<\/p>\n

vital infection<\/p>\n

16:39<\/p>\n

we should have<\/p>\n

this entire session is<\/p>\n

16:40<\/p>\n

less learned from lessons i know we’re<\/p>\n

16:42<\/p>\n

running short on time<\/p>\n

16:44<\/p>\n

uh center hall you have one question or<\/p>\n

16:49<\/p>\n

real quick um i’d ask the question<\/p>\n

16:51<\/p>\n

earlier when dr hellestad was here<\/p>\n

16:54<\/p>\n

about the idea that fits in with what<\/p>\n

16:55<\/p>\n

you’ve talked about<\/p>\n

16:57<\/p>\n

is that when we test someone rather than<\/p>\n

17:00<\/p>\n

just say<\/p>\n

17:00<\/p>\n

give them yep you’re positive you’re<\/p>\n

17:02<\/p>\n

negative be on your way<\/p>\n

17:04<\/p>\n

that we at least provide them<\/p>\n

17:06<\/p>\n

information<\/p>\n

17:07<\/p>\n

of what we know out there can be<\/p>\n

17:10<\/p>\n

can be used. not trying to play the role<\/p>\n

17:13<\/p>\n

of doctor<\/p>\n

17:14<\/p>\n

out there would you do you agree with<\/p>\n

17:18<\/p>\n

dr hellestadt’s interpretation that that<\/p>\n

17:21<\/p>\n

should not be done<\/p>\n

17:22<\/p>\n

because it’s setting up a doctor-patient<\/p>\n

17:24<\/p>\n

relationship<\/p>\n

17:25<\/p>\n

and simply informing people or providing<\/p>\n

17:28<\/p>\n

with<\/p>\n

17:29<\/p>\n

over-the-counter drugs that<\/p>\n

17:32<\/p>\n

so that we could possibly have the early<\/p>\n

17:36<\/p>\n

treatment<\/p>\n

17:36<\/p>\n

for these folks rather than wait till<\/p>\n

17:39<\/p>\n

they show up in the hospital?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

17:40<\/p>\n

we could at least have a physician group<\/p>\n

17:44<\/p>\n

approved a guide the aaps guide has been<\/p>\n

17:47<\/p>\n

used in over 500<\/p>\n

17:48<\/p>\n

000 cases in the united states in fact<\/p>\n

17:50<\/p>\n

the early treatment is probably<\/p>\n

17:52<\/p>\n

what prevented us from overflowing the<\/p>\n

17:54<\/p>\n

hospitals in the<\/p>\n

17:55<\/p>\n

in the last quarter of the year. when i<\/p>\n

17:57<\/p>\n

testified i said listen we’re on track<\/p>\n

17:59<\/p>\n

and i was very<\/p>\n

17:59<\/p>\n

convinced of this we’re on track of<\/p>\n

18:01<\/p>\n

overflowing our hospitals our break<\/p>\n

18:02<\/p>\n

point was 135 000 in the hospitals<\/p>\n

18:04<\/p>\n

united states we hit 128.<\/p>\n

18:06<\/p>\n

now the curve started going down long<\/strong><\/p>\n

18:08<\/strong><\/p>\n

before the vaccine so i can tell you<\/strong><\/p>\n

18:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

herd immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

18:11<\/strong><\/p>\n

long before the vaccine showed up<\/strong><\/p>\n

18:12<\/strong><\/p>\n

started to go down but the early<\/p>\n

treatment kicked up ivermectinus<\/p>\n

18:16<\/p>\n

skyrocketed hydroxychloroquine<\/p>\n

18:18<\/p>\n

monoclonal antibodies as much as we can<\/p>\n

18:20<\/p>\n

push them sadly the monoclonal<\/p>\n

18:21<\/p>\n

antibodies are still sitting on the<\/p>\n

18:22<\/p>\n

shelf<\/p>\n

18:23<\/p>\n

in a lot of places but committees like<\/p>\n

18:25<\/p>\n

this ought to be saying listen where are<\/p>\n

18:26<\/p>\n

those monoclonal antibiotics<\/p>\n

18:28<\/p>\n

are do we stock them at the nursing home<\/p>\n

18:29<\/p>\n

what are the big nursing home chains<\/p>\n

18:31<\/p>\n

what are the big urgent care chains in<\/p>\n

18:33<\/p>\n

texas and what are they doing what are<\/p>\n

18:34<\/p>\n

their early treatment protocols<\/p>\n

18:36<\/p>\n

you know these are blank spots i bet<\/p>\n

18:38<\/p>\n

nobody here has even thought about this<\/p>\n

18:40<\/p>\n

this is this is really low hanging fruit<\/p>\n

18:43<\/p>\n

that we can<\/p>\n

18:44<\/p>\n

uh we can tackle the bottom line is<\/p>\n

18:47<\/p>\n

a lot of doctors have checked out and<\/p>\n

18:48<\/p>\n

when patients call them they say i don’t<\/p>\n

18:50<\/p>\n

treat covet<\/p>\n

18:52<\/p>\n

and when i asked those doctors i said<\/p>\n

18:53<\/p>\n

you don’t treat how come they go well<\/p>\n

18:54<\/p>\n

there’s no treatment<\/p>\n

18:56<\/p>\n

i said but do you do you call them two<\/p>\n

18:57<\/p>\n

days later to see how they’re doing<\/p>\n

19:00<\/p>\n

no so what’s that that’s not that’s not<\/p>\n

19:03<\/p>\n

i don’t treat covet<\/p>\n

19:04<\/p>\n

that’s i don’t care anymore that’s a<\/p>\n

19:06<\/p>\n

loss of compassion<\/p>\n

19:08<\/p>\n

so we have a crisis of compassion in our<\/strong><\/p>\n

19:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

country in the medical field<\/strong> that’s in<\/p>\n

19:12<\/p>\n

our house right now<\/p>\n

19:13<\/p>\n

but for every doctor that’s ever told a<\/p>\n

19:15<\/p>\n

patient that they don’t treat covid<\/p>\n

19:17<\/p>\n

okay but then they call them two days<\/p>\n

19:19<\/p>\n

later and help them get oxygen or see<\/p>\n

19:21<\/p>\n

how they’re doing<\/p>\n

19:22<\/p>\n

if the answer is no that that’s the<\/p>\n

19:24<\/p>\n

hippocratic oath going out<\/p>\n

19:26<\/p>\n

and that’s on us and i’m telling you we<\/p>\n

19:28<\/p>\n

have a real self-check to do<\/p>\n
