00:00:33.680 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:00:37.040 Great to have you with us.

00:00:38.860 New details are out regarding the arrest of world number one golfer Scotty Scheffler.

00:00:44.240 Earlier this week, it was being reported that all charges would be dropped.

00:00:49.260 As of right now, however, no charges have been dropped, and there's new video evidence showing a far different story than what was told to all of us regarding that incident.

00:00:59.860 The arresting officer originally said he was hit by Scheffler's car and dragged.

00:01:05.660 Conveniently, the officer's body cam wasn't turned on at the time of the alleged incident in Louisville,

00:01:11.960 and the newly released CCTV footage from a phone poll shows Scheffler's car moving at a far less than walking speed

00:01:21.120 and an officer coming over to bang on his window.

00:01:25.280 Immediately after Scheffler stopped the car and rolled down the window,

00:01:29.760 he and the officer exchanged words,

00:01:32.300 and it appears the officer tried to pull Scheffler out through the window of his car.

00:01:37.580 Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said there is no video available of the officer's interaction with Scheffler,

00:01:45.820 and the Jefferson County Attorney's Office had requested that no additional evidence be released until the case is resolved.

00:01:54.520 I think the world's attention is now captured, and Louisville is in the crosshairs.

00:02:00.660 Dr. Anthony Fauci, also in the crosshairs, back in the headlines once again,

00:02:06.240 new reports show that a top advisor at the National Institute of Health reportedly deleted records

00:02:12.720 critical to uncovering the origins of COVID-19.

00:02:17.040 That report says Dr. David Morin used a secret back channel, as they put it,

00:02:22.920 to help Dr. Fauci and a federal grantee evade transparency.

00:02:28.140 The transparency they were looking to dodge just so happened to be Dr. Fauci's gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.

00:02:37.920 The most shocking exchange of emails released shows that on May 28, 2021,

00:02:44.800 the NIH Office of the General Counsel instructed the agency's FOIA office to, quote,

00:02:51.220 not release anything having to do with Echo Health Alliance.

00:02:56.160 That's W-I-B. 1.00

00:02:58.560 That was a reference to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:03:02.280 The email reads, there is no worry about FOIAs.

00:03:05.440 I can either send stuff to Dr. Fauci on his private email or hand it to him at work or at his home, end quote.

00:03:13.460 Convenient.

00:03:14.060 And in another email dated April 21st of 2021, Dr. Morin wrote that, quote,

00:03:21.380 he, referring to Tony Fauci, is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.

00:03:27.500 We're all smart enough to know to never have smoking guns, and if we did, we wouldn't put them in emails,

00:03:32.920 and if we found them, we'd delete them.

00:03:35.220 Well, they didn't delete that one, did they?

00:03:37.060 To take all of this up and much more, we asked Dr. Harvey Reich to join us on today's show.

00:03:43.700 He is the chief epidemiologist at the Wellness Company.

00:03:46.880 He's also a professor emeritus and senior research scientist in epidemiology for the Yale School of Public Health.

00:03:53.740 And now we want to welcome Dr. Harvey Reich.

00:03:57.300 He is the epidemiologist for the Wellness Company and has other plaudits to his name as well.

00:04:03.740 And it is always great to see you.

00:04:05.700 Thanks for being with us, doctor.

00:04:07.480 Pleasure to be with you.

00:04:08.800 A lot of rhetoric now flying through media, at least, and, of course, the corridors of power in Washington,

00:04:17.240 about bird flu, about what we can expect.

00:04:23.000 And all of it is dire, and it sounds like all too familiar, fear-mongering on the part of many of the agencies.

00:04:32.200 Your thoughts about right now, how big a deal, in your judgment, is bird flu?

00:04:40.100 Well, it's trying to tell the difference between zero and infinity.

00:04:43.880 It's somewhere in the middle.

00:04:45.640 But, you know, there's no way of saying anything that either makes you feel calm or feel, you know, very fearful.

00:04:53.520 Interestingly, today I discovered an article written by Tom Inglesby and Don Henderson, who were – Don was instrumental in eradicating smallpox from the planet.

00:05:05.160 And Inglesby is head of infectious diseases and institute at Johns Hopkins.

00:05:09.040 And they wrote this in 2012 saying that there should be no gain-of-function research on H5N1 bird flu,

00:05:15.860 that one does not need to have gain-of-function research to make it infectious in humans in order to make a vaccine,

00:05:22.960 in order to develop medications, in order to study it and learn about it.

00:05:27.420 You don't have to make it so that it can transmit between people and have such a really severe,

00:05:33.800 potentially severe virulence in this organism.

00:05:39.260 However, nobody seems to have been listening to them from that in 2012 because we have these grants,

00:05:46.300 I think, at the USDA laboratory facilities in Athens, Georgia, where they are doing exactly that.

00:05:53.080 They're studying the transmission of H5N1 bird flu in mallard ducks.

00:05:59.800 Mallard ducks are, you know, birds that fly all over the world.

00:06:04.180 And that means that if one of them were to get a strain, a mutation of this virus that could infect humans and human-to-human spread,

00:06:15.300 it would be all over the world in almost no time.

00:06:19.020 And so it's a dangerous thing to be doing.

00:06:21.180 It has no real medical, biological rationale.

00:06:24.220 And you wonder why our government is funding these two NIH-funded studies at that facility in coordination with Chinese researchers to look at H5N1.

00:06:38.680 You know, it's absurd that we're doing this and putting the country, if not the world, at risk.

00:06:43.120 Nevertheless, in the 12 years since Inglesby and Henderson wrote that editorial,

00:06:52.420 there hasn't been an escape from a lab of a virulent form of H5N1 that infects people.

00:06:58.920 It's encroaching on dairy herds and has infected one caretaker, one worker in managing those herds,

00:07:09.360 and with a very mild case of pink eye and nothing more severe.

00:07:14.900 So it's very difficult to know, you know, between zero and infinity what to think about this.

00:07:20.900 It is.

00:07:21.420 And at the same time that the NIH and the WHO are all pushing something called disease X

00:07:28.200 and talking about 20 times as much virulence in this, as yet, undiscovered, unengineered virus,

00:07:40.460 it makes you wonder what's up with all of this.

00:07:45.160 And I have to say, when you said NIH, I think Dr. Fauci,

00:07:49.080 and I think of his many crimes during the pandemic,

00:07:57.820 why would the NIH find there be any reason, rationale, scientific basis

00:08:05.020 for actually gain-of-function research that could lead to the disaster that you suggest?

00:08:12.120 Well, there are two things to say.

00:08:14.480 The first is that there's a gigantic bioweapons research community that lives and breathes this research,

00:08:23.000 that its life force is getting money to do this research.

00:08:27.940 These are scientists who've been doing this research for 40 or 50 years,

00:08:31.740 since we promised in 1975 not to do it.

00:08:34.520 And then we've had this gigantic industry and billions of dollars a year in funding

00:08:38.580 from DOD and NIH to just do this very thing that we're not supposed to be doing

00:08:43.860 under the premise, supposed premise, that it's to make vaccines,

00:08:48.300 which is my reason why I think that the COVID vaccines were pushed out so much

00:08:53.500 because it had to be shown as the end result of the laboratory work

00:08:57.760 that either accidentally or intentionally released the COVID virus into the general population

00:09:03.000 based on biowarfare research that we did and the Chinese did.

00:09:08.440 So the main thing is to protect that community.

00:09:13.320 And of course, there's a huge amount of money involved.

00:09:15.460 But the other thing that comes to mind is in the Obama administration,

00:09:19.920 they put a halt, a so-called pause, on gain-of-function research.

00:09:25.340 Why was that ever rescinded?

00:09:26.640 Why is the general population comfortable with doing this research?

00:09:30.480 And why aren't we not repurposing this institution

00:09:33.900 into doing other medical infectious disease research?

00:09:37.100 You don't have to do gain-of-function research

00:09:40.080 in order to protect yourself against bioweapons.

00:09:43.080 If somebody launches a bioweapon against you,

00:09:45.140 you don't have to launch a bioweapon back.

00:09:47.080 We've got plenty of other economic, conventional, and nuclear approaches

00:09:51.180 to deal with war attacks against us.

00:09:54.500 You don't need a bioweapon for that purpose.

00:09:56.360 So the plausibility is almost zero in this.

00:09:58.600 You know, I hadn't really thought about it the way you construct it,

00:10:02.800 but the very idea that you have to reply in kind in a war of any sort,

00:10:10.100 if they drop a, you know, there's nothing that suggests you have to drop

00:10:14.020 a 155-millimeter howitzer shell on somebody because they fired one at you.

00:10:21.760 You can do a number of other things.

00:10:23.240 But it is odd that there is this, what would you call it,

00:10:27.960 a mirror effect when it comes to biochemical warfare.

00:10:34.160 If they're going to use mustard gas, we'll use mustard gas.

00:10:37.280 If they're going to use the Wuhan virus, we'll try to find one.

00:10:43.440 Your thoughts?

00:10:44.860 Does that make it any more justifiable?

00:10:47.720 Tit for tat, they did it so we can do it?

00:10:49.740 I mean, it's absurd.

00:10:51.120 It is, and we're going to talk about some things that are not absurd

00:10:55.460 as we continue talking with Harvey Rice.

00:10:58.120 Dr. Rice, the leading epidemiologist for the wellness company,

00:11:02.580 we're going to talk about, first of all,

00:11:05.120 why in the world would we be partnering with China 0.52

00:11:08.100 on such a dangerous potential weapon?

00:11:12.260 It makes no sense, at least on the surface.

00:11:15.520 We're going to talk to Dr. Rice about what lies beneath the surface next.

00:11:20.060 Stay with us.

00:11:20.680 We'll be right back.

00:11:23.100 Folks, you know I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis,

00:11:26.540 and when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight,

00:11:30.340 whether it's natural disaster, war, or another disease.

00:11:34.160 We have to be ready as we can be.

00:11:36.300 We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.

00:11:41.160 We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals,

00:11:46.500 with clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here.

00:11:51.220 We need to be prepared, and now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs

00:11:56.700 when the next crisis hits.

00:11:58.660 Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske,

00:12:01.820 over at the Wellness Company, have put together just what you and I need

00:12:57.940 We're back.

00:12:58.940 We're talking with Dr. Harvey Reich,

00:13:00.620 the Chief Epidemiologist at the Wellness Company.

00:13:04.640 And, doctor, thanks for being with us.

00:13:06.660 I want to go to these emails that are showing an NIH advisor deleting records, using secret back channels,

00:13:18.080 trying to help Dr. Fauci evade COVID transparency, and by the way, succeeding in doing so.

00:13:25.320 Now, these emails that we know existed were managed in such a way that the people who deleted them knew they were being nefarious.

00:13:39.080 They knew they were protecting an interest that wasn't the general public's interest.

00:13:43.140 It wasn't on the right side of history.

00:13:44.820 They knew they were doing something wrong, and they felt compelled to do it to protect either themselves, their friends, their colleagues, rather than the general public.

00:13:53.940 All of that transparency should have been out there from the beginning.

00:13:56.880 But as you know, the pandemic origin was covered up right at the start when Jeremy Farrar of the UK and Francis Collins,

00:14:07.340 head of NIH, and Tony Fauci, organized a bunch of scientists to make a statement saying that the virus was of natural origin from the wet market,

00:14:17.540 originally from bats, and that any other scenarios of lab research or bioengineering was a conspiracy theory.

00:14:25.280 And they put this out, they published this, and so on, when the evidence was exactly the opposite.

00:14:30.560 And you have to ask, why did they have this need to cover up so desperately?

00:14:35.900 And I think this goes back to what I was saying, that this was a bio-warfare operation in the engineering of this virus.

00:14:42.700 And if the general public realized that all of this sickness and economic and other damage,

00:14:49.980 psychological damage from all of the management of the pandemic, in addition to the infection itself,

00:14:56.400 was caused by an industry that was run amok and shouldn't have been doing what it was doing in the first place,

00:15:03.820 the public would clamor to close it down.

00:15:05.740 So they had to cover up how they were responsible for this pandemic in the first place.

00:15:10.780 So that is why I think that all of the cover-up occurred, and as to why we were in bed with researchers in China,

00:15:20.880 because science is a pristine human knowledge thing, and scientists can naively think that the whole rest of the world

00:15:28.200 is just interested in how nature works the same way they are.

00:15:31.020 Whereas, you know, various countries have government connections to their science infrastructure

00:15:39.160 and look at the science as a technology for maximizing their government's performance

00:15:44.500 in whatever system of government they have.

00:15:47.040 And that naivete in responding to the Chinese is just absurd. 0.98

00:15:52.220 It's a ridiculous globalist idea that has no foundation in reality. 0.94

00:15:55.580 No foundation at all, but persistent, and persistent amongst those who seem to benefit monetarily 0.94

00:16:03.740 or in some fashion, even exorbitantly.

00:16:09.460 It's really troubling to see that this goes on.

00:16:13.320 I can say from my own experience in interviewing Dr. Fauci in the early days of COVID,

00:16:19.320 by the way, it's one of the, I'm going to share this story.

00:16:22.460 Dr. Fauci maintaining that I was crazy to suggest that that was the Wuhan virus, amongst other things.

00:16:32.000 Other doctors, who I subsequently found out, who were dependent upon Dr. Fauci,

00:16:36.820 supporting his view as I talked with them because their grants depended upon his favor.

00:16:43.320 It is really quite a web, a network of interests that come together around the NIH.

00:16:52.040 Not all of it, of course, subversive or nefarious, but much of it is.

00:16:58.000 And it made liars out of some very good doctors, which I think is a deep shame.

00:17:05.520 Well, you have to ask, why were they doing what they were doing?

00:17:09.820 In other words, for me, I have no stake in anything except trying to translate how nature works into English,

00:17:17.380 how science works into English in my lay coverage of things.

00:17:21.900 I'm just driven to find out how nature works.

00:17:25.480 It's a curiosity that I've had since almost from birth.

00:17:28.660 And I'm not going to lie about how nature works when I could be wrong,

00:17:32.240 but I'm not going to knowingly lie about it.

00:17:33.780 Why are all those other people lying when they know they're lying?

00:17:37.840 Yeah.

00:17:37.860 And do you think they'll ever be held to account?

00:17:41.560 Do you think truly they'll ever be held to account?

00:17:45.640 I hope so.

00:17:47.140 There are plenty of people who are continuing to try.

00:17:51.440 It is a slow process and may take a decade for all we know.

00:17:54.960 The courts are slow, and that's where I think the approaches are going to be.

00:17:59.460 Well, we stand with you in your hopes.

00:18:04.080 A positive result, even if deferred, is better than letting this persist.

00:18:10.900 I want to turn to another issue, and that is the role of big pharma in all of this.

00:18:17.560 People don't understand the billions and billions of dollars that are built around what is public health.

00:18:28.180 But it's such a private enterprise and one of the wealthiest enterprises in the country.

00:18:36.340 Their influence is sometimes nefarious.

00:18:40.220 Their influence is pervasive.

00:18:43.320 And I look back on the pandemic, and I think,

00:18:49.400 how in the world could we have gone so long without talking about prevention,

00:18:54.940 dealing with treatments rather than simply vaccine?

00:18:59.520 Vaccines took up all of the public mind space for a very long time and to the detriment of

00:19:07.500 millions of Americans, I believe.

00:19:11.320 Your thoughts?

00:19:12.980 Well, that was the propaganda space for the first year of the pandemic.

00:19:17.980 If there had been a generally recognized early outpatient treatment that kept people out of the hospital

00:19:24.820 and kept them from dying, what would be the need of the vaccines except in a very small,

00:19:30.060 you know, tiny fraction of the general population to use?

00:19:34.120 So that had to be suppressed at all costs.

00:19:36.820 And the network that you describe of nefariousness that pervades NIH, Department of Defense,

00:19:42.220 going up to the National Security Council and the Administrative State, was working full time

00:19:47.340 to smear the medications that work, especially hydroxychloroquine,

00:19:51.340 which in the first two years of the pandemic worked dramatically well to keep people from dying

00:19:56.420 and reduce the risk of dying about 75 percent or more, which is astonishingly good

00:20:01.840 and would have saved, you know, half a million or more lives had it been applied in that time period

00:20:07.320 more widely than it was.

00:20:09.560 And so this had to be suppressed at all costs, including organized smears against good research,

00:20:16.060 the promulgation of fake studies that, you know, the Surgesphere paper that was published

00:20:20.860 in New England Journal and Lancet that just totally fraudulent work,

00:20:25.420 the publication of bad studies claiming to be good, overdosing and underdosing subjects

00:20:30.820 and using the wrong subjects, looking at hospital patients when we're talking about outpatient treatment,

00:20:36.200 on and on and on.

00:20:37.800 This is how pharma has manipulated the scientific evidence for the last 40 or 50 years.

00:20:42.540 And it has the tobacco playbook from the 1980s that it uses used as a guide.

00:20:49.580 There's never enough evidence.

00:20:50.840 We need to study this more.

00:20:52.100 This study isn't representative.

00:20:53.520 Oh, it was a bad study.

00:20:54.900 It was it was a low quality study because it wasn't randomized and on and on and on.

00:20:58.880 All of this scientific claptrap to try to smear these medications and ivermectin, for that matter,

00:21:06.720 that did well working as prevention for outpatient early treatment to keep people from being hospitalized

00:21:13.260 and dying.

00:21:14.820 And that's that is what we suffered in the first year, the first two years of the pandemic

00:21:21.220 that had that been out there.

00:21:22.660 It would have sufficiently damaged the vaccine industry to the tune of many hundreds of billions

00:21:28.700 of dollars, probably.

00:21:30.500 And it was an ideological and partisan issue.

00:21:35.260 The left, the Democrats, the Marxist Democrats, mocking whether that be the president of the United

00:21:42.580 States or whomever, hydroxychlorine, ivermectin, all of them, everyone that was using it and

00:21:53.140 fancying to support the support its use and treatment was mocked and assailed by the power

00:22:02.200 structure primarily of the left in the country.

00:22:04.620 It really was a remarkable moment.

00:22:06.500 But it turns out that that it started before President Trump had actually said anything

00:22:11.600 in March of 2020, that the French knew this was coming in October, November of 2019, when

00:22:17.740 they changed the status of this medication from over the counter to prescription only.

00:22:22.500 They were in bed with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:22:24.860 They built the BSL-4 labs and so on.

00:22:27.460 They knew this was coming and they had to head it off.

00:22:30.140 And so it proves that this was pre-political, so to speak.

00:22:34.060 Yeah, and just as effective, even more so in some cases.

00:22:40.080 We're talking with Dr. Harvey Reich of the Wellness Company.

00:22:45.200 And I want to talk about bird flu one more time before we let you go, because I want to

00:22:51.640 see, I really want to examine a couple of things that are deeply disturbing to me.

00:22:57.040 We'll see what the audience thinks about it.

00:22:59.180 We'll be right back with Dr. Harvey Reich.

00:23:01.200 Stay with us.

00:23:01.800 The Wellness Company and their doctors are medical professionals you can trust.

00:23:07.020 And their new medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you

00:23:10.580 safe and healthy.

00:23:11.240 This medical emergency kit contains an assortment of life-saving medications, including

00:23:15.780 ivermectin, Z-Pak. 1.00

00:23:17.340 Rest assured, knowing that you have emergency antibiotics, antivirals, and antiparasitics on

00:23:22.620 hand to help you and your family stay safe from whatever life throws at you next.

00:23:27.000 We're back.

00:23:37.380 We're talking with Dr. Harvey Reich of the Wellness Company.

00:23:40.260 And I want to talk about, first of all, I'd like to talk, first of all, about the kit itself

00:23:47.440 that the wellness company is making available, because it's about, it really is about preventative.

00:23:55.200 It is about treatment.

00:23:56.420 Give us a sense of what you think it's important is, as we contemplate the possibility of the disease

00:24:05.020 X, whether it be the bird flu, whatever may be the virus that captures society.

00:24:13.860 Well, these kits, and there's now four of them, actually, for slightly overlapping, but kind

00:24:21.720 of aimed at different purposes, that aim to be able to provide customers with these medications

00:24:31.760 in a much faster turnaround time, should they need them, compared to getting a prescription,

00:24:36.980 going to a doctor, or even a Zoom call, getting a prescription, going to a pharmacy, getting it

00:24:42.420 filled, the pharmacist may or may not fill and open, and all of that.

00:24:46.080 It takes days, day, two days, three days to do that.

00:24:49.900 And we wanted to make available kits with various of these antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal

00:24:57.080 medications that could be used as necessary when a time comes where you'd actually need them

00:25:05.680 for traveling, for emergencies around the house, infections, and so on.

00:25:12.000 These things do happen in life.

00:25:14.600 They're not all that common, but it's better to be prepared than have to scramble when you

00:25:20.360 don't want to do that.

00:25:21.940 With regard to the bird flu, the question that we, as a wellness company, have been deliberating

00:25:28.160 on is how to treat flu with a medication.

00:25:32.540 And Tamiflu is the only one that we are aware of.

00:25:36.180 And this has a somewhat controversial history.

00:25:39.000 There are people who feel very strongly for it and other people who feel very strongly against

00:25:42.920 it.

00:25:43.540 Nevertheless, we've decided to put Tamiflu in because if people can take Tamiflu on a flu

00:25:50.160 episode, starting the first day that they have symptoms, there's more of a chance that

00:25:54.780 it will help.

00:25:55.440 We don't know for sure that it will help, but there's more of a chance.

00:25:58.420 So in general, Tamiflu only has 48 hours of time that it would work.

00:26:03.700 And we're hoping that this could be cut in half by having these kits available.

00:26:08.020 And there's other medications in them, too, for other kinds of infections that could be

00:26:12.380 useful, including COVID, for that matter.

00:26:15.160 And COVID, apparently, there are variants.

00:26:19.060 I don't understand how they came up with this, but FLIRT variants from COVID-19 that are

00:26:24.880 making itself known.

00:26:27.360 How significant is that?

00:26:29.860 Well, fortunately, when we got hit with the Omicron strain at the end of 2021, beginning

00:26:36.560 of 2022, the game was over for the pandemic propagandists.

00:26:43.380 The Omicron is a much milder form of illness.

00:26:47.140 That doesn't mean it's harmless.

00:26:48.920 That doesn't mean that people aren't hospitalized.

00:26:50.720 And rarely, some people have died from Omicron.

00:26:53.660 But by and large, Omicron is an annoying, uncomfortable, aggravating outpatient illness.

00:27:00.280 And that there are medications that can help to make the illness milder is what we want

00:27:06.440 to aim for.

00:27:07.560 Of course, we want to keep people out of the hospital.

00:27:10.200 And hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin may work for that.

00:27:13.740 But we also want to help people to shorten the time that they have these uncomfortable

00:27:18.280 symptoms.

00:27:19.440 And so that's kind of what we've aimed for in the contagion kit.

00:27:24.500 And the wellness company supports, obviously, ivermectin and hydroxychlorine.

00:27:32.120 I've been trying to pronounce that correctly for, what, now five years.

00:27:36.200 And I'm going to get it right someday.

00:27:41.040 It really has proved the lie that was exhaustive in its reach for a long time.

00:27:52.760 And it really turns out that those drugs are effective, right?

00:27:57.640 Yes.

00:27:58.140 In fact, well, the studies were done through 2022.

00:28:02.840 So we don't really know as much about these drugs in the Omicron period.

00:28:08.640 We know that they were very effective before Omicron and likely to be effective during Omicron

00:28:14.720 as well, because the organism uses more or less the same approach to invading the human

00:28:20.720 tissues, human body.

00:28:22.360 The one thing about Omicron is it doesn't invade the lungs anywhere near as deeply as the Delta

00:28:27.500 and pre-Omicron strains, which is why it's so much less virulent and why way fewer people

00:28:32.620 all have been dying from it.

00:28:34.580 So that's what's made it tolerable and what's made it endemic.

00:28:38.540 And that the CDC has now said from its empirical survey data that close to 90% of the American

00:28:46.100 public has had COVID already.

00:28:48.020 And we all have natural immunity one way or another to this infection also.

00:28:52.180 So there's a, you know, it's endemic, but not a worry anymore, by and large.

00:28:58.100 Well, and it's wonderful that the medical community got the messages out through dissent

00:29:06.080 and overcoming massive resistance from, I guess we could call it the establishment, whether

00:29:12.900 it be the medical establishment, big pharma, whatever.

00:29:15.340 We're, and we're at a much better footing right now.

00:29:19.260 And I think all of us more receptive to those opposing voices than in the midst of the pandemic

00:29:26.840 in large measure because of people like Dr. Harvey Reich.

00:29:31.860 We appreciate your voice and your thoughts.

00:29:35.820 And hydroxychloroquine.

00:29:38.100 I just said it real quick to show you that I could do it randomly.

00:29:41.600 Not frequently, but occasionally.

00:29:45.440 It's great to have you here.

00:29:47.320 I've got one other question that I have to ask.

00:29:50.680 Is there any tie between vulnerability to, quote unquote, H5N1, bird flu, and any of the

00:30:01.460 other viruses, including COVID?

00:30:04.220 Is there any relationship in vulnerability, in likelihood of contagion?

00:30:12.840 Well, I don't think that there is much.

00:30:15.500 The one thing that may turn out is that people who've had multiple doses of the COVID vaccines,

00:30:21.000 so now we're talking about four or five or more doses, may have trained their immune systems

00:30:26.440 to respond to the original COVID virus when they get hit with other viruses.

00:30:35.500 Now, we know this is true for later versions of the COVID virus, the Omicron one and so on now,

00:30:43.000 but this may carry over to flu and other viruses, and it remains to be seen.

00:30:50.140 I would urge everybody to take daily vitamin D to protect against all infectious diseases.

00:30:56.500 Standard amount of 5,000 units per day is a good amount, and you can adjust up or down

00:31:00.340 depending on body weight, but everybody needs to be sure that they have enough vitamin D on

00:31:04.540 board to protect them from flu, COVID, respiratory syncytial virus, everything that's out there.

00:31:10.420 Vitamin D is useful.

00:31:12.180 And how much vitamin D do you recommend per day?

00:31:15.600 For adults, 5,000 units per day is a good amount to start with.

00:31:21.120 If you get an annual physical exam, you could ask the doctor to do vitamin D levels to see

00:31:26.400 whether you're taking too much or too little, but it's not a critical thing.

00:31:30.960 5,000 units per day is safe and useful.

00:31:34.840 Good.

00:31:35.920 Dr. Harvey Reich of the Wellness Company, we thank you for being with us.
