00:00:00.000
so i was hoping that uh tonight uh if there is something uh that maybe you could uh of interest
00:00:14.360
that would be an update to individuals the work that you're currently involved in if i could just
00:00:19.780
hand the floor over to you and you let us a little know a little bit about what's going on in your
00:00:23.900
world you know i i want to start out with what i call five covid truths just five talking points
00:00:31.720
update you on uh how it's cohesive now with our center for disease control recommendations then
00:00:37.800
i have several news updates so here are the five covid truths the first truth is that this virus
00:00:44.960
does not spread among asymptomatic people people who feel healthy and well the virus doesn't spread
00:00:51.740
between the two uh two excellent papers in 2020 by cow in 10 million chinese and zachary madewell
00:00:58.680
published in jama separate paper uh demonstrated that there's negligible asymptomatic spread that's
00:01:05.560
the first point and our cdc now agrees uh so our cdc says if if you've been exposed to covid but you
00:01:14.200
don't have any symptoms uh you're not going to spread it to anybody else so you don't need to go
00:01:18.340
in quarantine uh we don't need to have anybody without symptoms uh you know going into uh any
00:01:25.820
type of lockdown or quarantine so our cdc concedes that um another point along this no asymptomatic
00:01:33.580
spread our cdc says now the only time in health care we need to wear masks is when we're directly
00:01:39.700
dealing with covid just like we directly deal with tuberculosis or another respiratory condition
00:01:45.000
so i think this is a very important point the second point is that there is no um utility in
00:01:53.460
doing testing in people without symptoms that means weekly testing for work or school or travel
00:01:59.760
and our cdc agrees our cdc says no more asymptomatic testing uh the world health organization said that
00:02:07.800
back in june of 2021 there's been multiple workplace studies there's been a study from
00:02:14.540
uh the japan olympics all showing that when all this testing is done once a week sometimes it's more
00:02:21.400
frequently in sports teams all it does is uh it generates a false information so the yield of any
00:02:29.420
test being positive is less than one percent but when it is positive it's uh most likely to be a false
00:02:35.600
positive so the point number two is no asymptomatic testing it has no support uh anywhere point number
00:02:43.020
three is once an individual has had the infection and they've recovered and in some of our audiences
00:02:50.060
now in the united states you know it's 90 percent of adults as cdc says 86 percent of children have
00:02:57.160
already had covid what we know there is that the next infection with covid has a negligible risk
00:03:04.040
for hospitalization and death negligible so the next time you get a phone call and someone says
00:03:09.140
they have covid your first question is is this your first time or is it a subsequent event i ask that
00:03:15.060
every time now it's very important a paper published by chin and colleagues new england journal of
00:03:20.060
medicine in october of 2022 showed that among 59 000 prisoners 17 000 staff um those individuals who are
00:03:28.640
having second infections had zero risk of hospitalization and death and it didn't matter
00:03:33.360
whether or not they took a vaccine point number four is that covet 19 remains a very treatable illness
00:03:41.880
provided the treatment is started early it's very important aphazio and colleagues and myself have
00:03:48.180
published on this the early window is the first three days of symptoms so i want everybody on this call to
00:03:54.540
know whether it's the first second or third episode you should do treatment and the treatment you do at
00:04:00.100
home is using a virucidal nasal wash and gargle so that means taking dilute palvidone iodine or dilute
00:04:09.560
hydrogen peroxide a few drops in a spray bottle with a pinch of salt spray it up the nose snip it back and spit
00:04:17.020
it out do it twice on each side and then gargle with a shot glass of the same solution it's very important
00:04:23.060
can do that twice a day to prevent covet can do it up to every four hours in acute treatment of covet
00:04:28.720
12 clinical studies three large randomized trials a convincing effect in fact better than a vaccine
00:04:35.660
we have data now showing that virucidal nasal washes and gargles reduces the spread of covet it's the only
00:04:43.240
thing that actually reduces the spread it drops down the positivity on nasal pcr antigen testing
00:04:48.500
dramatically within a few days so every person on this call should have a nasal oral hygiene
00:04:54.620
approach ready okay nutraceuticals and supplements play a role probably vitamin d plays the biggest role
00:05:01.880
you can find about all of these on my website peter mccullough md.com and look up the mccullough
00:05:09.800
protocol it's been published peer-reviewed and it's one of the more widely used protocols others
00:05:14.280
are available we have additional drugs that can be used but in most cases in omicron they're not needed
00:05:20.420
and you can refer to the protocol there i don't have any particular biases about one drug or another
00:05:26.100
but we do need to use multiple drugs in combination an antiviral agent a corticosteroid a blood thinner
00:05:32.840
such as aspirin sometimes more intensive therapy point number five the covet 19 vaccines as they exist
00:05:41.820
are not sufficiently safe and not sufficiently effective for use in human populations and
00:05:48.660
after multiple stern warnings the world council for health on june 11 2022 this is the best place to go
00:05:56.460
for a consensus the world council for health which represents 70 grassroots organizations
00:06:01.360
issued a pharmacovigilance report based on excess mortality and concluded all the vaccines should be
00:06:08.540
pulled off the market now they had several stern warnings before that time uh in fact i was involved
00:06:14.160
in a collaboration in early 2021 calling for the vaccines to have safety review and be pulled
00:06:19.840
temporarily off the market but they should all go off the market
