Peter-McCullough-MD-testifies-to-Texas-Senate-HHS-Committee
On March 10, 2021, Dr. McCullough, who is a great supporter of the early implementation of covid treatment, the same as Włodzimierz Bodnar in Poland, spoke at the meeting of the Senate Health Committee in Texas. Dr. McCullough and his team have developed a covid outpatient care guide for patients. Please find below the entire transcription of Dr. McCullough testimony.
Dr. Peter McCullough: Good afternoon, I’m dr Peter McCullough. I’m an internist and cardiologist and professor of medicine at Texas University School of Medicine. I’m on Baylor Dallas Campus and I’ve been integrally involved in the response to covid-19.
Now, the opinions I’ll express are those of my own and not necessarily those of my institution. I can tell you that in my field I’m an academic doctor, I see patients but I’m very involved in the research. I’m an editor of two major journals. In my field I’m the most published person in my field which deals with the heart and the kidneys in the world in history.
And when covid-19 hit I saw it as a medical super bowl. And there were going to be doctors like dr Urso coming out of wherever they worked to face the virus and there were doctors in the hospital that just had to receive the virus and then there were those who headed for the sidelines and there were those that were detractors against the pandemic. And so, as I started to survey the literature, I had patients with heart and lung disease who needed an urgent treatment and I refused to let an illness which lasted for two weeks at home before they got sick enough to be hospitalised, I refused to let a patient to languish at home with no treatment and then be hospitalised when it was too late. It was obvious, that was obvious in April that that was the case. So I used the best tools or drugs available at the time and these are appropriately prescribed off label, remember a label is an advertising label, a label isn’t a scientific document, sure, it’s there, there is an appropriately prescribed off-label use of conventional medicine to treat an illness and I, in May, I put together a team of doctors because the group that was facing the pandemic to the greatest degree was in Milan, Italy so most of them were in the coracle Italian research network. We summarised all we knew about the available drugs and we published our finding in the August in 8th issue of The American Journal of Medicine and the title of that paper was The Pathophysiologic Basis And Rationale For Early Ambulatory Treatment and it had a premise there’s two bad outcomes to covit-19: hospitalisation and death.
The second premise if we don’t do something before the hospitalisation we can never stop it. We can never stop it. And I have to tell you, when I was a lead author in that paper but we had dozens of authors from Italy, India, UCLA, Emory and we had the best institutions in the United States. I can tell you, the interesting thing was 50 000 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on covid, not a single one told the doctor how to treat it. Not a single one! When did that happen?
I was absolutely stunned and when this paper was published in American Journal of Medicine it became a lightning rod, oh my gosh, it became the most cited paper in basically all of medicine at that time. The world started, and boy, the world started knocking down on my door, and I said, oh my lord, I just can’t believe what became untapped.
And, uhm, I had never been on social media before and my daughter who was home from law school was talking to her about it, she said, well, why don’t I make a youtube video. So I made a youtube video with four slides from the paper. This is a peer-reviewed paper published in one of the best medical journals in the world. Four slides! I ever wore a tie in a suit and she showed me how to record it in powerpoint and I posted on Youtube. It went absolutely viral. And within about a week Youtube said you violated the terms of, uhm, the community. And that’s when senator Johnson’s office got involved in Washington, said, oh my gosh, this is important scientific information to help patients in the middle of this crisis and social media is striking it down, based on what authority?
Well, one thing led to another, uhm and I became a lead witness for the US Senate Testimony of November 19, 2020. And the reason why there was Senate Testimony is because there was a near total block on any information of treatment to patients. A near total block.
And so what had happened over time is that we had gotten into a circle in America of no information on treatment. Patients actually think that the virus is untreatable and so what happens is they go out to get a diagnosis. Now, I’m a covid survivor, my wife in the galley is a covid survivor. My father in a nursing home is a covid survivor. You get handed a diagnostic test, it’s says, here you’re covid positive, go home. Is there any treatment? No. Is there any resource I can call? No. Any referral lines, hotlines? No.
