Dr. Peter
McCullough has an impressive list of credentials1 — he’s an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and a
full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas and
is the editor of two medical journals and published hundreds of studies in the
literature. He’s also among those brave and courageous persons speaking out
about the dangers of COVID-19 jabs, and putting his medical license and future
livelihood at risk by so doing.
“There’s a hunting that’s going on here that’s very disturbing,”
McCullough said in an episode of Perspectives on the Pandemic.2 He was referring to state medical boards hunting down
doctors and their and threatening revocation of their licenses based on the
spreading of unidentified “misinformation.”
“This is absolutely astonishing that this is happening over a fair
exchange of ideas,” he said. What is Dr. McCullough sharing that the powers
that be don’t want you to hear? It’s about COVID-19 injections and, to sum it
up in a sentence, “It’s not working and it’s causing tremendous damage.”
In the U.S., Operation Warp Speed is the federal effort that
fast-tracked COVID-19 jab candidates to market. Gene transfer technology
platforms emerged as the frontrunners, including adenoviral DNA platforms or
messenger RNA (mRNA) platforms designed to deliver genetic material to the
human body.
Once the mRNA is injected, the body then takes up the genetic
material and changes in some way. These technologies have been under study for
years, in most cases being designed to replace a defective gene, which could
potentially be used for cancer treatment, for example. Except historically,
“all failed,” McCullough said.
In November 2020, however, Pfizer, in a joint venture with
Germany-based BioNTech, announced that their mRNA-based injection was “more
than 90% effective” in a Phase 3 trial.3 This does not mean that 90% of people who get injected will
be protected from COVID-19, though, as it’s based on relative risk reduction
(RRR).
The absolute risk reduction (ARR) for the jab is less than 1%.
“Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the jab,
the absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates
with and without a jab, considers the whole population. ARRs tend to be ignored
because they give a much less impressive effect size than RRRs,” researchers
wrote in The Lancet Microbe in April 2021.4
Nonetheless, the jabs received emergency use authorization. By
giving the emergency authorization, not approval, the jab administration
constituted a research trial, with the sponsors being the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. According
to McCullough:5
“We’ve never had two
government bodies together be a sponsor of a major research program.
Shockingly, they did not have, and to this day they’ve never put together, an
external critical event committee, an external data safety monitoring board or
a human ethics committee. They had these committees in the registrational
trials … and these are standard.
Every large clinical
investigation has these three committees … I chair many of these committees for
pharmaceutical companies and the National Institutes of Health. Americans
should have had at least weekly, if not monthly, reviews of safety to ensure Americans
that the jabs are safe.”
Initially, McCullough said, it seemed like the experimental jabs
might be safe, and about 70% of his patients had received one by December 2020.
But by March 2021, he was uncomfortable with what he was seeing. From December
14, 2020, through March 8, 2021, more than 92 million doses of COVID-19 jabs
were administered in the U.S.
He cited data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
(VAERS) database, which showed that during that time, there were 1,637 reports
of death in people who had received a COVID-19 jab. The CDC and FDA said none
of them was related to the jab but, according to McCullough, by January 22,
2021, 186 deaths had been reported — more than enough to reach the mortality
signal of concern to stop the program.
“With a program this size, anything over 150 deaths would be an
alarm signal,” he said. The U.S. “hit 186 deaths with only 27 million Americans
jabbed.” McCullough believes if the proper safety boards had been in place, the
COVID-19 jab program would have been shut down in February based on safety and
risk of death.
Such was the case in 1976, when a fast-tracked injection program
against swine flu was halted after an estimated 25 to 32 deaths.6 Yet, despite a much larger death toll, COVID-19 jabs
continues. As of August 6, 2021, VAERS COVID-19 data showed 12,791 deaths
related to the jabs, according to McCullough, and tens of thousands of hospital
and clinic visits.7
In an analysis of COVID-19 vaccine death reports from VAERS,
researchers found that 86% of the time, nothing else could have caused the
death, and it appears the vaccine was the cause.8
The researchers noted, “The sample contains only people jabbed
early in the program, and hence is made up primarily of those who are elderly
or with significant health conditions. Despite this, there were only 14% of the
cases for which a COVID injection reaction could be ruled out as a contributing
factor in their death.”9
Further research shows, McCullough stated, and this is a very
important point that I want you to understand and remember: that 50% of the
deaths occurred within 48 hours of getting the shot, while 80% occurred within
a week. An informal survey on Twitter, to which 10,000 people responded, also
asked whether respondents knew someone who died after a COVID-19 jab.
Twelve percent said they did. “When people see others in their
circle dying, you can’t stop that type of organic COVID jab hesitancy,”
McCullough said. Other confirmed adverse effects of the COVID jabs include
myocarditis and blood clots.10
Your body recognizes the spike protein in COVID-19 jabs as
foreign, so it begins to manufacture antibodies to protect you against
COVID-19, or so the theory goes. But there’s a problem. The spike protein
itself is dangerous and known to circulate in your body at least for weeks and
more likely months11 — perhaps much longer —
after the COVID jab.
In your cells, the spike protein damages blood vessels and can
lead to the development of blood clots.12,13 It can go into your brain, adrenal glands, ovaries, heart,
skeletal muscles and nerves, causing inflammation, scarring and damage in
organs over time.
In his practice, McCullough is seeing an array of neurologic
syndromes in people who’ve been injected, with symptoms including blindness,
paralysis, difficulty swallowing, headaches, ringing in the ears, myocarditis
and more. Other research suggests that the heart, brain, immunologic system and
hematologic system may be most at risk from the jabs.14
Children, who are at extremely low risk from COVID-19, receive no
benefit from the jab, nor do those who have already had COVID and have
immunity, McCullough said, calling the situation “a catastrophe in real time”
that’s violating human ethics:15
“We’ve seen an
incredible violation of human ethics. No one, for an investigational product,
under any circumstances, should receive any pressure, coercion or threat of
reprisal for not participating in the research.”
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 jab received FDA approval on August
23, 2021, but prior to this, million-dollar raffles, free tuition, bonuses and
other bribes like free beer and doughnuts were offered to entice people to get
injected. When that didn’t work, mandates increased, including for many health
care workers, and hundreds of U.S. colleges16 are also requiring students to get jabbed in order to
attend.
Media reports keep referring to the pandemic as a crisis of the
unvaccinated, which is simply inaccurate, since COVID-19 continues to affect
and spread among those who have been vaccinated. July 30, 2021, the CDC’s
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) posted online details of an
outbreak of COVID-19 that occurred in Barnstable County, Massachusetts — 74% of
the cases occurred in fully vaccinated people.17
So-called “breakthrough infections,” which used to be known as
vaccine failures, were reported by the CDC far earlier, though, including in
their May 28, 2021, MMWR, which documented 10,262 breakthrough infections
reported January 1 to April 23, 2021, across 46 states.18
This, they believed, was “likely a substantial undercount,” but
rather than continuing to assess the situation, they stopped monitoring most
COVID-9 infections among vaccinated people:19
“Beginning May 1, 2021,
CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough
infections to investigating only those among patients who are hospitalized or
die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest clinical and public health
significance.”
McCullough also mentions antigenic, or immune, escape. If you put
a living organism like bacteria or viruses under pressure, via antibiotics,
antibodies or chemotherapeutics, for example, but don’t kill them off
completely, you can inadvertently encourage their mutation into more virulent
strains. Those that escape your immune system end up surviving and selecting
mutations to ensure their further survival.
COVID-19 has a high capacity for mutation but, if the virus isn’t
under pressure, it won’t necessarily see a need to select mutations to, for
instance, become more infectious. But if you put it under pressure, as is
occurring during the mass vaccination campaign, this may change. McCullough
stated:20
“If we keep this up
with the injections, there is going to be one variant after another … We’re
playing with fire here with this mass vaccination … My interpretation as an
internist and cardiologist — I’m a trained epidemiologist, I’ve literally done
a year of intense COVID research and training — I’m going to tell you, I think
this Delta outbreak that we have right now is the product of mass vaccination.
If we didn’t have the
jab, we would have been better off. We had already treated this down to a very
acceptable level.”
McCullough believes many health care providers and the U.S. public
are in a vaccination trance. It defies logic and commonsense how public
officials and hospital executives can see the vaccines failing to work, can see
the rising cases of adverse effects and deaths, and yet increasingly issue
vaccine mandates or recommend the vaccine to groups for which it clearly
shouldn’t be, like pregnant women. McCullough likens it to a form of psychosis
or a group neurosis.
The U.S. public, however, has seen so much fear, hospitalization
and death during the pandemic that they may have been prepared to accept
casualties associated with the vaccines. Still, a sizable number of Americans
aren’t being fooled.
“We’re at this pressure point, and I think right now, in talking
to American people in my circles, they’re ready to take a time out,” McCullough
said. If it means taking a sabbatical from work or delaying school for a year,
many Americans are willing to do it to avoid getting vaccinated. “The only way
to stay healthy right now is to stay away from this vaccine. If you get
COVID-19, get to one of these treatment networks and get immunity on the other
side.”21
McCullough is a proponent of early treatment of COVID-19 and
believes treatment options have been suppressed to allow for mass vaccination:22
“I think we’ve
completely suppressed any form of treatment or help to people in order to
promote the vaccine. Now the vaccine doesn’t work completely and it’s, frankly,
dangerous. We’re down to almost one message: Take the jab or else … It’s the
scariest time to be an American, and thank goodness half of Americans didn’t
take it.
We’re going to have to
see what this is going to look like. I think the next month or so is going to
be incredibly interesting and it’s going to be ominous.”
McCullough believes that eventually people will break out of the
jab trance and realize that the answer isn’t these injections, while the
handling of the pandemic, including mass jabs, will become a course in
violation of human ethics and the Nuremberg code. With fear, isolation, hospitalizations
and deaths still occurring, however, it may take years before the fog is
lifted.
