Dr. Peter McCulloch is a cardiologist and the most knowledgeable person alive on the treatment of COVID-19. John Leak is an historian and novelist who s written a bunch of award-winning novels. The two of these gentlemen have collaborated to do a non-fiction chronicle of the suppression of early treatment disease. Deliberate, purposeless, and lethal suppression of treatment during COVID has occurred over the course of two years, and Dr. McCulloch has been harshly punished and silenced by the medical cartel. Dr. Leak, on the other hand, has continued to speak out, and has been rewarded for his efforts. In this episode, the two discuss how they got involved in this work, and how they came to collaborate on a new novel. They also talk about how they became friends, and what it means to be skeptical of the medical orthodoxy. And, of course, they talk about their new novel, The Dark Side of the Dark Side Of . which is out now, and it s a must-read novel about COVID and the drug war in which they co-author, John Leake, takes a deep dive into the dark history of the disease and its impact on our understanding of the pandemic. CoVID and why it s so important that we should all be questioning the medical establishment s approach to this pandemic and why we should be taking care of this disease in the way we do the things we do in the first place. and what we should do to prevent it in the next time it comes up in 2020. Thank you to Dr. Peter, John, for coming on the show, and for joining us in this episode. . . . and for writing about it. Thanks for listening and for being on the podcast, and thanks for being a friend of the show thank you for listening to the show and for sharing it with the podcast and for supporting the podcast. , and for helping us to make this podcast . and for making it a podcast and sharing it so we can keep talking about it in the future with others like it, and spreading it around the word , and so much love and support it everywhere all the love and respect and support everywhere we get it and all the more. - Your support is so much appreciated, and we really do appreciate it.

00:00:12.000And as you all know, Peter McCulloch is a cardiologist.
00:00:16.000He is the most published Physician in his specialty in history.
00:00:23.000He is probably one of the, if not the most knowledgeable, person alive on the treatment of COVID-19.
00:00:33.000He published in August of 2020 a seminal article that was the most downloaded.
00:00:44.000The entire pandemic on a sequential use of various drugs, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and monoclonal antibodies and others in the treatment of COVID-19.
00:00:59.000He has been harshly punished and silenced by the medical cartel.
00:01:06.000He has nevertheless continued to speak up.
00:01:09.000My other guest is John Leak, who is an historian and novelist who's written a bunch of award-winning novels.
00:01:20.000And the two of these gentlemen have collaborated to do a non-fiction chronicle of the suppression of early treatment disease.
00:01:31.000Deliberate, purposeful, and lethal suppression of early treatment during COVID. I have not read it.
00:01:38.000We're going to hear about its announcement, but this is really the announcement for this new novel, and we're all very, very anxious to read it.
00:01:49.000I wanted to have my friend Peter McCullough, who's one of the great, great heroes of the last two years, and asked my guest to talk briefly about this work.
00:01:59.000So, Peter, tell us what happened and how you got here.
00:02:02.000Well, let me just thank you for being on the program.
00:02:04.000I wish you the best of luck, and it's a great pleasure.
00:02:07.000I'm a practicing internist and cardiologist in Dallas, Texas.
00:02:10.000I'm trained in epidemiology, and I have put everything into the pandemic response from a professional perspective.
00:02:18.000And I have doubled down and tripled down and quadrupled down on the principles that we can treat the illness early to avoid hospitalization and death.
00:02:28.000And by that mechanism, we actually reduce the spread of illness and we bring the pandemic to a close.
00:02:36.000In my view, the lack of treatment of COVID-19 early is what has precipitated these hospitalizations and deaths that's occurred all over the world.
00:02:46.000I've testified under oath now, November of 2020, March of 2021, and now January of 2022.
00:03:09.000Right now, if someone contracts COVID-19, a high-risk patient, which I have in my practice, my estimates are that treatment, using a multi-drug approach, results in a 95% reduction in hospitalization and death.
00:03:24.000We should not have the suffering and fear that we have seen over the course of two years.
00:03:46.000And looking at true crimes with elements of medical mystery, where you have to consult With forensic doctors, forensic pathologists.
00:03:57.000So I kind of developed a sort of affinity and a knack for reading forensic medical literature.
00:04:03.000You know, I began to think about Africa.
00:04:05.000I mean, I used to receive hydroxychloroquine as a malaria prophylaxis when I would go to Africa.
00:04:12.000The doctors didn't think twice about writing the prescription.
00:04:16.000But then quite suddenly, with COVID upon us, there was this sudden talk of hydroxychloroquine being dangerous.
00:04:24.000Well, no one had ever discussed it being dangerous.
00:04:27.000I mean, all of the rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and malaria prophylaxis, there was never talk for 60 years of it being dangerous.
00:04:37.000There was talk in the 60s of heart arrhythmias, but I saw an interview with the rheumatologist and he said the point back then was the dosing was much, much higher.
00:04:48.000Back in the 50s and 60s, he said we in rheumatology realized these high dosages of hydroxychloroquine weren't necessary.
00:04:56.000So I realized I needed a top medical authority to help me to conduct my inquiry.
00:05:04.000And this is what I think is the most charming part of the story.
00:05:08.000I thought he's got to be a top medical authority, but he also has to be one who's challenging the orthodoxy, who is saying, well, I'm beginning to wonder or to take a skeptical posture about what we're being told.
00:05:23.000So I began to think, well, where would I find such a medical authority who's questioning the orthodoxy?
00:05:29.000And I thought he could be anywhere in the world.
00:05:53.000I recommend going to our website, CourageToFaceCovid.com, and there's a portal to Amazon.
00:06:00.000We're going to expand our distribution beyond Amazon, but at the time being here, at the very beginning out of the gate, the easiest way to get it right now is through our website, CourageToFaceCovid.com, with a portal to Amazon.
00:06:16.000You know, you talk about Africa, and I spent a lot of time in Africa as a kid and as a teenager in my early 20s.
00:06:23.000Of course, all the tourists who go to Africa, like them, I took hydroxychloroquine.
00:06:38.000In fact, it's called in many of the African countries, it's called by the term Sunday, Sunday, because traditionally people take the drug on Sunday.
00:06:47.000It's been given billions of doses over 60 years.
00:06:52.000It's an essential medicine by the World Health Organization, and it's over the counter in almost all the nations in Africa.
00:07:01.000Many other countries around the world.
00:07:03.000And suddenly, as you say, during the beginning of this pandemic, when they knew that hydroxychloroquine worked, because in 2005, during the SARS epidemic, they were testing, which is what public health authorities are supposed to do.
00:07:21.000They were looking for repurposed medications that would be effective against SARS, which is, of course, a coronavirus.
00:07:31.000And they tested hundreds and hundreds of repurposed medications and the one that they found worked best was hydroxychloroquine and they found that it worked not only and they tested it in cell cultures and they learned that not only was it an effective Treatment because it immediately killed and stopped viral replication, killed the virus and stopped replication.
00:07:55.000But it was also devastatingly effective as a prophylactic.
00:08:00.000And that study and other studies were well known to Tony Fauci.
00:08:05.000And that's one of the reasons that we assume as soon as coronavirus was identified in January, there was a global push.
00:08:18.000Very, very bizarre by African governments, by European governments, by the Canadian government, by France, for example, to remove access to hydroxychloroquine, to stop the population from accessing it.
00:08:34.000And we know that people can say, well, the reason that Nigeria did so well is because it had a younger population.
00:08:45.000It had a death rate one-tenth the United States per population because it made these drugs available.
00:08:53.000And if you look at the Central American countries, the countries that handed it out, they essentially avoided having any kind of pandemic at all.
00:09:03.000And it's interesting to consider that In our country, blacks had 3.6 times the death rate of whites from COVID. But blacks in Africa had 1 200th the death rate.
00:09:19.000And the big difference is that they had access to these life-saving repurposed drugs.
00:09:31.000It's a deliberate suppression, a deliberate impeding of people who could get into trouble with this illness, deliberately preventing them from accessing drugs that could help keep them out of hospital facilities.
00:09:49.000And so we go through this earlier literature that emerged after the SARS in 2003, the CDC study you mentioned.
00:09:58.000When we came to the same conclusion that you did, that it's precisely because they worked that they were suppressed.
00:10:07.000I thought that you and your family were in a very good position to interpret a lot of this stuff because of your history and government Your somewhat tragic history in government, a kind of understanding.
00:10:20.000I remember I read an article that you wrote about the Syrian pipeline wars.
00:10:25.000A lot of this geopolitical stuff has got nothing to do with Islamic terrorism.
00:10:29.000It's actually vying for pipeline control.
00:10:33.000And what is it about these big military complexes or now this biopharmaceutical complex that becomes so voracious And so, ruthless and unmoored from ethical considerations.
00:10:49.000This is kind of one of the mysteries that we grapple with in the book.
00:10:54.000This veracity to pursue these agendas that sort of leaves ethics out of the equation.
00:11:01.000So, we read your book with great interest.
00:11:04.000It was a marvelous work of scholarship.
00:11:06.000I'm not saying that just to flatter you.
00:12:04.000The second year of the pandemic was the year of ivermectin.
00:12:07.000Even more dynamic, even had more supportive data, inpatient and outpatient, 85 total supportive studies, over 35 randomized trials, bigger overall benefit.
00:12:18.000There, the NIH And the American Medical Association launch a war against ivermectin.
00:12:25.000The AMA has an official campaign to abolish the use of ivermectin.
00:13:01.000Then the next round in November, myself, Harvey Rich, and George Freed came in on hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and the other drugs, and they kept going.
00:13:10.000But there was no matter what we did that we actually found that worked, we were actively being suppressed at multiple levels.
00:13:17.000Federal agencies The biopharmaceutical complex, medical systems, hospitals, medical societies, licensing boards, pharmacy boards, it was a complete and total suppression of our attempts to save lives.
00:13:35.000Sort of the most sinister aspects when you look at all of this kind of convergence where all of these power centers simultaneously move to block public access to this life-saving drug and to funnel people instead to a $200 billion vaccine enterprise that, was all tied in with government controls and with the military and intelligence apparatus.
00:14:05.000And as I said, in January, at the very moment that the Chinese released the genomic sequence or the COVID, you had the French government, the Canadian government within days taking this drug that was for decades had been an over-the-counter the Canadian government within days taking this drug that was for decades had been an over-the-counter drug and suddenly reclassifying it as a toxic substance that you can only
00:14:33.000You had testimony that all across Africa there were men showing up at pharmacies with trucks buying out the supplies of hydroxychloroquine and burning them in bonfires and You had Sanofi and the other big producers,
00:14:54.000hydroxychloroquine, who were pressured to donate their entire stocks to the National Strategic Stockpile, which then they can get tax deductions and payments for.
00:15:07.000But the stockpile then froze access, so they took the whole U.S. supply Purchased it and then locked off, blocked off its access to the public.
00:15:20.000You had facilities that produced ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine burning up and blowing up.
00:15:27.000In Taiwan, one of the biggest producers in the world, one of the biggest factories and mysterious arson.
00:15:33.000And then, of course, you had the system that you talked about where the medical boards were blocking access.
00:15:42.000We have this campaign to discredit this drug as a horse medicine, to repeat Tony Fauci as a horse medication.
00:15:50.000Well, as you know, antibiotics You know, the major, very, very, the most effective drugs that work on humans, coincidentally and not surprisingly, work on all mammals.
00:17:04.000Who invented the technology for the mRNA vaccine and you three physicians really changed the debate and then all of you had your careers essentially destroyed.
00:17:17.000Well, John chronicles that, and it's been so hard to describe to the public what happened, and through his wonderful writing of creating a narrative, taking all this complex reality that you've just summarized, but actually putting it into a narrative that the common person can understand, we're hoping will develop a broader understanding in the public.
00:17:41.000So we really hope this book has a public health impact, like all the important books.
00:17:46.000Well, Peter McCulloch and John Lee, good luck with the book.
00:17:51.000Let me know what I can do to help promote it.
00:17:54.000This is a story that Americans need to hear.
00:18:20.000Our book chronicles as these events are unfolding, as Dr.
00:18:26.000McCullough and his colleagues were scrambling to find ways first to treat the illness, And then once they began to piece together effective treatments, then they had to enter the second phase of the battle, which was against this deliberate suppression by our public health authorities and our police.
00:18:49.000I think our book, The Courage to Face COVID-19, will enable readers to see how these events unfolded, all of the intrigues and the fraud and the propaganda campaign, and they will see that what has been visited upon the human race is a big crime.
00:19:09.000I would add to that that populations worldwide over the course of now greater than two years have been listening to a false narrative.
00:19:23.000And many of them know it's a false narrative.
00:19:26.000They know things don't make sense in their cognitive framework.
00:19:29.000They know they see things that are absurd.
00:19:32.000They see behaviors that don't make sense.
00:19:35.000The reason why this book is so important is It's because it is a window to the true narrative.
00:19:42.000What really can and should be done to treat a deadly illness, and it chronicles with a lot of detail, and I think the appropriate amount of ethos and pathos and lojos, the desire for brave doctors,
00:19:59.000nurses, patients, and families to To fulfill their oath to one another, to fulfill the Hippocratic Oath in Medicine, but to fulfill an oath to humanity, to help one another get through a crisis, and what we did in the face of a crime, a crime that was being committed against humanity, of which we're all now victims of that crime.
00:20:24.000John, tell us again where people can get the book.
00:20:28.000I encourage everybody to go to our website, couragetofacecovid.com.
00:20:34.000And there you'll learn a little bit about us and our book.
00:20:37.000And there is a link to purchase the book.
