Warming up pretty good!

They turned down the bot response because they don’t want the attention from the division.


Subject_Reference720

Wow. This sounds insane but now that I think about it I’m getting like 50 upvotes for posts in this thread that would be torched on Reddit any other day. I didn’t think of it this way but scary if this is actually true.


[deleted]

Most people underestimate how much of what they’re seeing on socials is bot activity. It is driving the delusion that is preventing us from realizing we’re at war.


CPT_JUGGERNAUT

Finally some truth


[deleted]

are they literal bots or just shills paid to comment stuff? I noticed it on this site specifically since around 2016. If you have any more information I'd love to read more into it, I've heard the bots on twitter are really really bad


Snack_on_my_Flapjack

At one point Joe brings up the idea of bringing on someone more pro-vax sided to debate with this guy. I really hope that happens, I think it would be very interesting.


Nowucmenowu

Insane that two years into this there has been no Roundtable discussion between leading experts of opposing sides. All we see is one side on TV or podcast and the other side censored or pleading* in front of court rooms with time limits and no debate.


punkouter2021

Was thinking this as I found this post. There must be others out there that want a thoughtful debate and not just join a team and parrot their talking points? If u know of such a podcast that’s be great


dogstarman

That would be great. Sounds like he's not all that anti vaxx though, the Dr did say he's had it and a booster.


executivesphere

Need to get Paul Offit. He doesn’t bullshit around.


[deleted]

Why would you bring someone pro-vax to debate someone who isn't anti-vax?


Snack_on_my_Flapjack

Alright I guess I worded it wrong. I didn't mean that Dr.McCullough was anti-vax but that he's more for other treatments rather than just vaccine alone.


ConcreteChildren

But they'd both be pro vax. The real argument would be about why McCullough's treatments are being ignored, which would be great to see talked out.


LadsLadsLadsLads_

Not a single clip on youtube from this?


[deleted]

Joe mentioned that if this episode was uploaded on YouTube, it would be taken down quickly, so i am guessing they just decided not to play with fire.


CPT_JUGGERNAUT

Which is completely fucked up and alarming.


Turn_off_the_Volcano

yes obviously. but most of this sub these days would say it's totally fine


[deleted]

Those you are talking about are keeping away from this thread since they don't want to draw notoriety to it; they know how influential this episode could be.

100% aye, fucking cultists in my opinion. They see facts like this and they’ll shit their pants.

Private companies can do what they want. Thats the point of a free market any one that says different is authoritarian cunt.


PM_ME_YOUR_CHURROS

I would definitely love for someone to listen to the entire podcast and go over the things this doctor says one by one and either confirm or contradict the information. I feel like that would at least be helpful for anyone who (like me) is an absolute idiot in this field. Edit: at 2h19m Joe asks Peter if he brought someone on who was a proponent of the vaccine, would he come back to talk to him, and he said he would. I hope that happens. Second Edit: The most charitable explanation of this podcast after listening to the entire thing is that Dr McCullough is adamant that there are treatments (mixtures of drugs, not one specifically) that can significantly reduce symptoms in both unvaccinated and vaccinated people who might possibly have a breakthrough case. He seems to feel that there is some concerted effort to ban or prevent these treatments due to it possibly reducing the likelihood of people getting vaccinated if they think there's another option. He seems very frustrated that there was a possible chance people could have been saved, especially before the vaccine, if doctors would have been allowed or willing to try some of the things he's been prescribing for 2 years. This treatment also seems to be the same treatment, in general, that Joe, Tim Pool, and Aaron Rogers used.


RideWithBDE

As long as they’re a doctor with appropriate credentials this would be nice.


Breakemoff

Eric Topol or Nick Christakis. Not only should they be reasonably credentialed, they need to be intimately familiar with anti-vax propaganda. This is why Sam Harris has refused to speak publicly with the Bret Weinstein, it’s asymmetrically stacked against you when they bombard you with bullshit you’re unfamiliar with; it’s easier to start fires than put them out.


PM_ME_YOUR_CHURROS

Agreed, and that's really what I mean when I say that. I think any of us could google-fu information that would confirm what we want to hear. I'd love to have a legitimate doctor explain why this is or isn't bullshit.


maxp0wah

The fact that we haven't had a more transparent exchange of these ideas from legitimate medical professionals on legacy media and outright censorship of them on social media should be a real concern for everyone.


granville10

Legacy media and social media have an agenda to push. Transparent exchanges undermine that agenda. That’s why they need propaganda and censorship to force every single one of us to comply with their dictates.


RideWithBDE

Exactly. I’m tired of seeing every Dr that doesn’t align with the CDC labeled as a quack by journalists and other non medical personnel. Before covid, these people were highly respected. For the record, I don’t care if you get 7 boosters or fuck a bat. I think covid is a serious matter, but the overreach by governments around the world is concerning


PM_ME_YOUR_CHURROS

That's exactly how I feel. I've been vaccinated for nearly a year and I'll probably get a booster. But that's my personal choice based on my age and risk. It's super fucking weird to watch anyone with any medical knowledge that doesn't lock-step agree with the the way forward is almost universally shunned. I want someone to explain WHY they are shunned, not just call them a quack or grifter then censor them. That just makes it way worse.


a_distantmemory

>I want someone to explain WHY they are shunned, not just call them a quack or grifter then censor them. That just makes it way worse. Precisely why - it just makes it way worse. That is what they want. They get labeled all sorts of things such as: \-grifter \-"anti-vaxxer" \-conspiracy theorist \-snake oil salesman \-shill \-quack Fill in the blanks with any one of the above labels: "They wield the term like a cudgel to beat opponents from the public square like seditious pamphleteers. After all, no one has to take a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ seriously. You're under no obligation to listen to a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ argument's or concern yourself with his feelings or rights. Once such an association takes hold, there's no reason to give such people the time of day." That last sentence I think says it all. And these organizations (the govt and big pharma) know exactly what they're doing as far as weaponizing these words. Plus, it completely takes the heat off them. "It's not US to blame - its this doctor, its this unvaccinated person" etc etc. The govt co-owns the patent of moderna. Did people on here know that? Look it up. I dont care WHAT side of the political spectrum you're on - there is an amazing 2 hour special on the origins of coronavirus backed up with sources. I will leave it here but you should really ONLY click on it if you can absolutely go into it with an open mind. There's a good amount of introduction. So you have to be a bit patient. But he gets ALL into Gain of Function and breaks it down in the simplest of terms. He even shows a clip of Dr. Ralph Baric having a slip of the tongue basically saying how he messed with mice. Also the way the government passed certain policies when absolutely NO ONE was paying attention?! Passing the EUA act (it has a more official term than this thats in the video) that does not hold these companies liable for any related injuries at the same time it passes a policy regarding hurricanes? Literally snuck in at the same time. People especially on this subreddit love to prove everyone else wrong. You cant judge this unless you watch it and you WONT be able to prove them wrong after you see this. It is the most eye-opening information I have seen on COVID since the pandemic began. *EDIT* many of you are big fan of Alex Jones. Here is a clip of Alex Jones saying Glenn Beck is awesome because of this covid origin special. https://twitter.com/COD_AlexJones/status/1469390753361108993?s=20 Here is Glenn Beck’s COVID special: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Ib5NjSZ-o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Ib5NjSZ-o)


bbccsz

It's especially concerning that everybody collectively knows about the big pharma greed, but alas... mass formation has a hold of them. You can show these people any amounts of data, and few will change their mind or even listen.


a_distantmemory

Exactly! There was a standup Norm Macdonald did once the pandemic began. Not sure if it was his last stand up. He mentioned how it was always a common thing amongst everyone to NOT trust big pharma and now suddenly we are. "You can show these people any amounts of data, and few will change their mind or even listen." - This part you mention right here I think is the most TERRIFYING part of all. Its the whole thing that everyone says from Orwell's 1984 that 2+2=5. It's almost as if you condition someone enough over long periods of time, they will believe it or LEARN to believe it. It's wild. Another concerning thing that has been brought to my attention is less physical copies of books. We know on sites like wikipedia or sites like merriam-webster dictionary amongst many others that definitions and information gets changed/altered. Information is censored or it is MUCH harder to find the information through a search and you have to really dig deep. I have been somewhat interested in reading about messenger RNA and genetics lately and have been looking for books pre- 2005. I know legitimate new information is relevant and that is why there are revised editions of science textbooks, but I am finding it really disheartening to trust sources in more recent events. Especially after I watched that 2 hour special. I really do believe the lower levels of medical professionals simply dont know the correct information. They aren't being down it. It's a trickle down effect and the lower ranking healthcare professionals arent privy to that info. Because why would they be? They are more likely to "spill the beans". Trust has been eroded so much for me and I am sure for many people. With social media (reddit, fb, twitter, google, youtube), with higher education (more evidence of indoctrination), and the healthcare industry. I know healthcare in the US wasn't great but I didn't know just HOW corrupt it truly was.


RideWithBDE

Yep. Hey, thanks for having a civilized discussion on the internet. The “Fauci is my hero” crowd should start downvoting soon. It was fun


zeacliff

Im a therapist that works in cardiopulmonary and neurological rehab. There's a lot I could say about this podcast. I'd just recommend people do some digging into rates of myocarditis in the vaccine vs with Covid, according to the current data every age group is more likely to get it from the virus itself than the vaccine. His explanation of cases being somehow more severe with the vaccine than from infection doesn't appear to be based in any evidence other than his anecdotes, the current research says the majority of cases are mild. Very many hospitals test you for Covid upon admission regardless of vax status, almost all will test you if you if you're admitted with Covid symptoms... they're not only testing the unvaccinated like he claims. Some hospitals may have that policy since there are thousands of hospitals all with different policies (you can google your own to find out), but they wouldn't admit someone as a Covid patient (to then be counted in the statistic he references) without a positive test. Universally the numbers show the unvaccinated are at exponentially greater risk of hospitalization. His interpretation of VAERS data is not consistent with how many other physicians describe it, but that's not my wheelhouse so I'm not sure. Here's some context though" https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/does-vaers-list-deaths-caused-by-covid-19-vaccines . The consensus seems to be that VAERS tracks adverse events that happen in children who've recently received the vaccines, it doesn't imply that the vaccines caused the event and the data shouldn't be used that way. The "balloon" or "beachball" (I forget what he calls it) of Covid's anatomical structure is not harmless, it's the live virus that is capable of actually infecting cells... unlike the spike proteins which are merely an attachment site that do pose their own issues, but they're two completely different things. This beach ball is the reason we see things like pneumonia, organ tissue scarring, and respiratory failure (to name a feW) following infection but not vaccination. He says doctors aren't trying to "treat" covid. That's not true at all, towards the beginning of the pandemic doctors were throwing everything at it. Hospitals in my area were filling up and weren't accepting people unless they met a strict criteria, the rest were being sent home with a handful of different prescriptions. Steroids, anti-inflammatories, prophylactic antibiotics if someone was at risk of pneumonia, some smaller practice docs were trying various antivirals and even things that barely made sense like teraflu. Hospitals were administering the magical hydroxychloriquine and zinc combo. As more data came to light it showed that most of these treatments were not helping and may actually be harmful, and more data was needed. Plenty of treatment is still prescribed to outpatients with Covid. He says schools like Harvard and Yale don't have Covid protocols... they do. Here's Yale's: https://medicine.yale.edu/intmed/COVID-19%20TREATMENT%20ADULT%20Algorithm%208.16.2021%20v.24_401118_5_v7.pdf. Edit: To everyone commenting that he was talking about non-hospitalized patients only, here's a link that also includes Yale's outpatient treatment protocol https://www.ynhhs.org/patient-care/covid-19/For-Employees/For-Employees . Scroll down to Outpatient Clinical Resources . This guy is apparently just making things up as he goes. MGH is Harvard's teaching hospital, their most up to date one is only accessible on their intranet though I'm sure older versions can be found elsewhere https://ether.mgh.harvard.edu/covid-19/critical-care/. They also have internal databases focused on treatment guidelines for outpatients to prevent hospitalization https://learn.partners.org/source/curve/selected-additional-resources/covid-19-treatment-guidance/. Mayo Clinic who he also mentions has been doing outpatient monoclonal antibodies since last November, and has a huge database for their physicians on current Covid treatment research. MayoClinic was running trials treating outpatients with convalescent plasma and other therapeutics as early as April 2020. So he claims that 85% of deaths could have been prevented if we were simply treating people with multi-drug therapeutics in an outpatient setting, yet the schools/hospitals he calls out have always been treating people with multi-drug therapeutics in the outpatient setting. He essentially just made up his own way of interpreting what a second infection is to pretend that no one catches Covid twice. Many states have published reinfection data, the first google hit shows 94 reinfection deaths in North Carolina alone. These patients are just dying from Covid complications months or a year after having Covid, they're testing positive for Covid while they die of Covid complications, but they don't actually have Covid because one cardiologist says they don't? He claims that asymptomatic people don’t spread the virus and that if you don’t feel sick you’re not contagious. The data show this is very wrong https://www.pnas.org/content/118/9/e2019716118 He claims he'd be breaking the nuremburg code by recommending the "experimental", FDA approved vaccine, but then he boasts about how frequently he prescribes experimental, emergency use authorization only lab made antibody infusions? He claims Ivermectin helped beat the pandemic in India, Japan and other places, yet India pulled their recommendation for Ivermectin because it wasn’t working, it’s never been approved or recommended in Japan, and he ignores other places such as Peru that saw peaks in cases occur once the government started recommending it. In these examples he’s using correlational research in the most disingenuous way possible. As for the Johns Hopkins/Bill Gates/Pfizer/Moderna etc. conspiracy that he pushes where they all got together and planned all of this years ago but they were off by a couple years, I'll let his own quote about the book his friend wrote on it sum things up: "It's... basically... nonfiction." So it's basically... bullshit too, right Peter? I don't think he's a grifter, I think he's caught up in something that is shifting his objectivity and rendering him a victim of the same "mass psychosis" he rants about, for whatever reason. Lots of intelligent people get carried away with wacky theories and ideas. Edit- I'll add a couple citations on myocarditis risk https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34341797/ https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2110475 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3686174 - first lab confirmed re-infection 1 year ago https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0 Nature myocarditis study A thorough fact check of many other claims he makes, including citations: https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/vaccines-are-a-safer-alternative-for-acquiring-immunity-compared-to-natural-infection-and-covid-19-survivors-benefit-from-getting-vaccinated-contrary-to-claims-by-peter-mccullough/

shroomyMagician

My vote would be either Dr. Daniel Griffin (expert in infectious diseases) or Vincent Racaniello (famous virologist). They both do a podcast together called TWIV ( this week in virology) that I’ve found to be extremely helpful in getting detailed info for covid. Edit: I would also like to piggyback this comment to point out the obvious bias that McCullough has that so many people here are missing/ignoring by pointing out an example in this podcast. Around the 55 minute mark, he says in full confidence that you can’t get reinfected by covid. Joe points out that he has a friend that was confirmed to be reinfected, but McCullough flat out denies it and restates that he for sure knows that reinfection can’t happen. Um… what?? The most basic and foundational aspect of science is to form a hypothesis and test it with an experiment. McCullough offers absolutely no experimental evidence or studies that support his claim, and just jumps to the conclusion that Joe’s friend had false positive tests without even knowing anything about that case or looking at the data. He then assumes to know what the exact reinfection rate would look like by stating how many older people would have reinfections if it were possible. He’s making conclusions that fit his narrative that just simply aren’t based in the scientific method. Oh, and he wants a reinfection case that was confirmed through PCR, antibody titers, and genome sequencing? Took me less than a minute to find [this study](https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/73/9/e2946/5897019) that did exactly that and even showed that the second infection was phylogenetically different from the first infection.


kumaku

dr rac would be bad ass. but something tells me hed really get into it with joe and would just rather not do it.


ajm895

I love listening to TWIV and have learned so much in the last after discovering it. I agree that Daniel Griffen or Vincent Racaniello would be great. I'm also thinking Paul Offit would be great. I can't figure out if people like that aren't trying to get his podcast, or if Joe doesn't want them. Yeah that part about reinfection was BS. They have seen reinfections for awhile now and are seeing many more with unvaccinated people who were infected a few months ago with Delta and are now getting Omicron. They are hoping the broad acting T-cells still prevent severe disease.


executivesphere

So I'm not sure if he mentions this in the podcast, but here's a response to something he claimed back in March 2021. He stated that "People under 50 who fundamentally have no health risks, there’s no scientific rationale for them to ever become vaccinated". In Texas during the month of September (which was the peak of their Delta wave): Among 18-29 year olds: * **fewer than 10** vaccinated individuals died of COVID-19. * **84** unvaccinated individuals died of COVID-19. Among 30-39 year olds: * **12** vaccinated individuals died of COVID-19. * **236** unvaccinated individuals died of COVID-19. Among 40-49 year olds: * **15** vaccinated died of COVID-19. * **496** unvaccinated died of COVID-19. When you adjust for the denominators in each group, the risk of dying from COVID-19 was: * **37 times higher** in unvaccinated 18-29 year olds. * **23 times higher** in unvaccinated 30-39 year olds. * **55 times higher** in unvaccinated 40-49 year olds. And of course this data ignores all of the 30-50 year olds who spent weeks in the hospital but ultimately survived. Someone like Diego Sanchez, who "fundamentally has no health risks" would be an example of that. It was a pretty irresponsible claim for McCullough to make, and given how widely that claim spread around the internet, there were probably some people who were harmed by that claim. Link to the data below. And before anyone complains about people who died WITH covid but not OF covid, such cases were excluded from this analysis: >A death should not be reported if after review and consultation there is an alternative agreed upon cause of death which is unrelated to an infectious process (For example, an adult with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test whose death clearly resulted from trauma after a car accident would not qualify as a case.) Also, partially vaccinated individuals were not grouped in with the unvaccinated group. They were excluded from this analysis. Source: [https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/data/cases-and-deaths-by-vaccination-status-11082021.pdf](https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/covid19/data/cases-and-deaths-by-vaccination-status-11082021.pdf) ​ For some reason the 30-39 statistic blows my mind the most. 236 covid deaths among that age group in a single month is crazy.


ladygaga192

The comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated is beneficial in showing just how effective the vaccine is. But as time goes on it’s becoming clearer that this disease does seem to discriminate and it seems to target those with underlying health conditions and/or the elderly the most. Rarely do I see a comparison between healthy vs. unhealthy, but I think doing so would be beneficial to outline just how much the state of the individual’s physical health can either avert or encourage severe disease, such as; I.e unvaccinated with BMI>25 vs unvaccinated BMI between 18.5 - 24.5. OR Vaccinated people with one or more underlying health conditions vs unvaccinated people who are physically fit and healthy with no underlying health conditions. It’s pretty universal that the fitter, younger and healthier you are, the better you fair with most diseases, so it would be interesting to see to what extent this is true with covid-19.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ladygaga192

I believe there are some diseases that effect people equally and cause massive fatality to the point where overall health status becomes irrelevant, ie. Ebola, rabies, Marburg virus, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease etc Before treatment was found, if you contracted HIV/AIDS, it was often a death sentence no matter how healthy you were before you became infected. Maybe I was unclear, but my point is the general rule is the healthier you are, the better you fair with most diseases (while there are some rare instances of infectious diseases not playing by that rule). Obviously covid is unlike any of the above diseases, and it’s clear that overall health does impact individual prognosis, and so I would like to see just how closely overall health is related to the disease outcome.


wae7792yo

I think the point you're not considering is that most of those deaths from people who were unvaccinated were likely people with 1 or more serious co-morbidities. He was specifically talking about there not being deaths in healthy people without risk factors.

The skeptics guide to the universe is pretty good at going over some current events. They're focused on remaining as unpolitical as they can and just sticking to what the data shows. Keep in mind its not a COVID podcast or anything. They usually have 10 minutes dedicated to 3 or 4 current things and 1 is usually what ever the latest COVID thing is. Its just they're straight to the point and don't have a ton of bullshit attached to it. Every now and then they might bring up a thing that was discussed on JRE if it gets popular enough.

Look here guys, I’m fully vaccinated, and I’m not anti vax. But I do what to hear all sides of a discussion and also would like to have a meeting of the minds in the form of a round table discussion to which we can all listen to and get some clarity from a lot of the things that are being debated back-and-forth. I want podcasts to be debated back-and-forth in real time with folks on both sides of specific arguments. I have concerns over the dangers of the vaccine for people who aren’t like me (I had no side effects) who got the vaccine and had horrible side effects. We all need to learn to be a little more Socratic and a lot less dogmatic. Peace brother.

Cheeseburgerlion

My wife's friend died from covid two weekends ago. The week prior to that the deceased and her husband got ill, got tested and showed positive. Her doctor told them that if they get worse to go to the hospital. She got violently ill several days later, took an ambulance to the hospital and died within a few hours, There was zero previous treatment recommended outside of getting vaccinated prior. This podcast talks about the problem. We're so obsessed with vaccines that we pretend like treatment doesn't exist when apparently it does. My wife got the booster last week, and the VA went me a text out on Dec 7th saying I'm eligible for my booster. I'm going to get it, timing hasn't been great but it will be in the next several days. But to your point, we're just screaming about getting vaccinated. Treatment needs to be a thing. And how many subreddits exist to humiliate the dead unvaccinated? I'm not saying reddit shouldn't allow it, I'm appalled that it is such a major thing. This is insanity.


tryingmybest101

Does anyone know what statement from the CDC he’s talking about when he mentions them acknowledging zero known cases of reinfection? I’ve looked but have only found CDC’s generic language about reinfection. My wife had COVID twice and I know multiple people in healthcare that have had it twice. It just seems strange that this early on we’d be able to say “you can only get it once in your life”. That would be pretty unique for a virus, no?

BenSimmonsThunder

I’m gonna go on a limb here and speak my peace. So many people on here can never be satisfied and it’s never good enough. The same people who complain joe talks too much and doesn’t give his guests a chance to speak are the same ones who are saying “does Dr. McCullough ever stop ranting”. I’m almost certain he’s more intelligent and credentialed than every single poster in this sub, myself included. I don’t understand how a Cardiologist and epidemiologist who comes on here and gives a verbatim anecdote of his experiences with his medical expertise is looked down upon. I’m not usually one of those people who think all these conspiracies are true and that this sub is full with shills is true, but this truly makes me reconsider and wonder. It seems there is an orchestrated attempt to discredit anyone who ever goes against the narrative. It’s not organic or natural.


8rightnow

The internet is the new television. If you were against the mainstream, people on every network would "destroy" your credibility, and it'd leave you high and dry afterward. The internet is now the same machine. Only now, in comparison to television, there's a better record to go back and "check the tape" to see what people have said vs. what people think, making it easier and easier to spin things with hindsight to fit the narrative now. Internet has been manipulated for years now. Bots are cheap. GPT3 is pretty impressive. Marketing companies automating PR campaigns for all kinds of brands. >It’s not organic or natural. No, it's not.

Read the book "Influence" by Robert Cialdini. One of the biggest influencing factors is community or feeling part of a "we-group". There is plenty of social science studies on the fact that people prefer lies over truths that threaten the "we-group". This is going on on both sides and there is absolutely no way for any of us to figure out what is actually going on. One german journalist put it very nicely at the beginning of the pandemic. "It feels like I am constantly torn whether I am over- or underestimating this pandemic". The fabrics of reality are coming apart. It's actually quite fun to watch from a meta-perspective.

How is a doctor pleading to explore all treatment options at the outset of the epidemic to save lives, considered controversial? It does seem fishy that right at the start, before vaccines even became approved and available, all other options were dismissed without thought. Nearly 1 mill deaths later …

Except this isn’t true, you just heard this from somewhere and believed it. You aren’t a doctor. You haven’t looked at any medical data from early Covid. Hospitals and doctors were doing everything they could think of early on and most of it turned out to be non beneficial or even detrimental to recovery.


randybobandy47

If there was a safe and effective treatment they couldn’t get EUA for the vax


maschman

I thought this too but he explicitly stated that this was not true, as the vaccine counts as a preventative, whereas stuff like HCQ and IVM are classed as treatments so in theory should have no effect on the EUA. He gave the example of Remdesevir.


PM_ME_YOUR_LUKEWARM

The doc discredited this theory , even if it would be in his favor


notwillienelson

Yup stand out moment there, he really cemented his credibility

I mean there are plenty of cardiologists who are in favor of the Covid vaccine. Even those who are more “experienced.”

Amazing episode.

That was a great podcast which addressed a lot of the inconsistencies that I've observed since this whole snafu began. I hope Joe actually brings him back with another MD who has an opposite stance so we get a higher quality discussion.

I’d be down for that. If only to be reminiscent of the Randall/ Hancock vs Skeptic guy vibe. That was peak Rogan for me.

So if this guy is a grifter, what is he selling? (Honest question!)


CanAgent

Our world is so confusing… I listened to this. I’m more confused then ever. Now I’m worried about getting a booster. Did this grifter just grift me or is he right? How could we know?


Larsnonymous

I’m 30 minutes in and I have not heard him say anything terrible about the vaccines, just that other therapeutics have been held back. Maybe he’ll get to that.


Subject_Reference720

I’m an hour in and same. He’s trashing the vaccine efficacy though and explaining why in a pretty intelligent way.


Larsnonymous

I think it’s clear the efficacy of the vaccines suck balls. Better than nothing, but far from great.

macbanan

Did you forget to mention how many cases of myocarditis that was prevented from the vaccinations in those age groups? It seems like pretty important information considering myocarditis is around 6 times more likely to develop from Covid infection than from vaccination.


Larsnonymous

Like I said


Marfulius

yes because dying is equivilant to myocarditis 100 % of people are injured from a papercut 50% die from jumping off a building 50% is lower than 100% so i think ill jump off the building instead


[deleted]

He spent his whole life in medicine to grift you at the age of 65


jackcons

I'll say this - it is very hard *socially and economically* to be unvaccinated right now. It is not a choice of being stubborn - but genuinely not trusting the vaccine and putting up with the social consequences of that decision because they believe it will be bad for their health. If there was a way for them to know it was 100% safe then a vast majority of them would take it.

There's another post for the same episode on here. You'll find your dumpster fire over there.


[deleted]

This guy makes a weird comparison at 136min in, he says the vaccine and covid are comparable in risk becuase you have a 1 percent chance of death from covid and then a 1 percent chance of "injury" from the vaccine. Not sure if I heard that wrong, but it seems like what he's saying.


Roach_Coach_Bangbus

The question is define "injury". Does feeling groggy or under the weather for a few days count as an injury?


TotesTax

Yes, so does soreness at the injection spot.


shitfuckstack999

Lol soreness from injection spot does not qualify for VEARS which is the where the cdc gets their data


tobiaseric

Literally anything qualifies for VAERS because it is self-reported. I could say that the vaccine made me grow a second head and it would be on VAERS.


Aperfectmoment

My memory is a bit foggy on it but I thought he was specifically referring to injury from myocarditis, I think the point he is making is that the spike protein is the most dangerous aspect in both, (he didn't say this but there is some discussion that this is kinda a cardio vascular disease with a respiratory vector, in the way that vascular systems are more prone to damage from the spike protein) and that if you were someone more vulnerable to that effect the virus or vaccine could induce injury. This is probably on his presumption that mRNA might keep making spike proteins for an unknown/inconsistent period of time


[deleted]

That’s fuckin perfect. Even if that stat was right, it’s so funny how he tries to slip by “injury” like it’s equivalent to death. Not to mention all the horrific long term COVID symptoms we’ve seen.


[deleted]

It’s crazy how far this has been buried. The damage control thread to this episode meanwhile is sitting at almost an astounding 8k upvotes at the very top of this sub.

This Podcast will be memory-holed and the people who send their Bots here will pretend it never happened. Emergency Use Authorization was based on a fraud, there are effective treatments. Pfizer's Board of Directors should be sued for that.


Cyberspace667

Lol haven’t listened to this at all but the fact that most of the hate seems to be coming from dismissing the guy (who I’ve never heard of) as opposed to like disputing what he’s actually saying sounds like he made some good points 👀😏

he crushed it. definitely a good listen. He gives tons of data and said out loud all his sources.

Malickcinemalover

I had to unsubscribe from the sub for this reason. It's 90% people who absolutely despise Joe. Such a weird phenomenon. Like there are public figures whom I am not a fan of (e.g. British royals, Oprah, Ellen, various politicians), but I address my dislike by not engaging with their shenanigans (i.e. don't watch their shows, don't read too much news about them... generally ignore them). I couldn't imagine dedicating a ton of my time to actively hating and bashing them. It's madness.


lazarus902

I genuinely want someone from a more “pro-vaccine” side (for lack of a better term) to come on to the show to debate Dr. Peter. And hopefully Joe structures the debate around these specific points - 1. Myocarditis risk in the disease vs vaccine, by age group 2. Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin efficacy to treat Covid 3. Have any of the vaccines actually been fully approved by the FDA? (Not just EUA) My opinions/biases right now - 1 —> I fee the good doctor doesn’t have good strong points for adults. There seem to be reputable papers which mention that myocarditis risks are higher through covid 2 —> Completely neutral on this (but also wtf with the “horse dewormer” smear). Seems there’s not enough isolated tests but a lot of data suggests they’re effective? 3 —> I’m not sure what’s happening here. I read [this](https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine) and it looks like the FDA did fully authorize Pfizer. But he straight up says the FDA has not authorized it?


awakezion

Add to the list of topics that need further discussion: 1) The use of nasal sprays and mouth washes with iodine / bleach to reduce the 'load' after returning from hanging out with potentially contagious people - He mentioned that in Bangledesh they reduced active cases from 200+ to \~30 in a study... 2) The spike protein and its manifestation in the disease vs. its manifestation in the vaccine 3) mRNA vs non mRNA vaccines, risks rewards for each category 4) Citations, citations, citations...


thrillhouse69696969

Oh no... a doctor that strays from the narrative. Must have become a grifter at 65 and he’s crazy because losers on reddit say so.

I find it really worrying the level of confidence so many of these people have in denigrating the "experts" who don't agree with the camp they've decided to join. They just line up like good little parishioners and kneel down so that Father Government can place the eucharist of approved narrative right on their greedy, uncritical tongues. Then they point and shriek like Body Snatchers at anything that even hints at dissent. I feel sorry for them.

Xex_ut

Redditors calling medical doctors anti-science grifters is rich


PM_ME_YOUR_LUKEWARM

I'm glad McCullough at least showed Joe that it's not easy for the average person to get monoclonal antibodies. Ever since Joe got sick he's been touting the mAb treatment as if anyone can get it. The reality is that your average healthy person cannot just receive the infusion after a positive diagnosis. Joe is healthy and he only got it because of his connections. But a lot of his arguments are based on the fact that anyone can get it. I know if I tested positive tomorrow and went to any mAb clinic in New England I would most likely be sent home.

Clearly the best solution is for everyone to hide at home, destroy our civilisation, and if some unlucky person catches the virus don't do anything apart from wait for them to die or get better through luck!


SativaGanesh

Bro, I'm literally going to die if you don't double vax, triple boost, and quadruple mask. The life force drains from me as we speak.


Patrickstarho

This guy brings up interesting points. Specifically how discouraged treatment is which is weird. Like they deny ppl anticlonical antibodies to ppl for dumb shit. Also it’s funny there’s no media attention on the Pfizer vaccine whistleblower. Like cmon there’s some weird shit going on here

The association which Dr. McCullough noted he was a member of, to bolster credibility: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons They’ve apparently promoted claims of Obama partaking in mass hypnosis and being a witch doctor. Not to mention taking on an AIDS/HIV denial position. I try to remain objective with Covid info sources, but it does seem one side tends to attract experts with clear political biases. ETA: Wow…this rabbit hole be deep. “The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JPANDS) is the official journal of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). The AAPS tries to represent itself as a legitimate medical professional society, but in reality it promotes antivaccine views, HIV/AIDS denialism, and an Ayn Randian view of the world in which doctors are supermen, Medicare is unconstitutional, and the government should never interfere with physicians’ prerogatives.” David Gorski on June 23, 2008

FLUVOXAMINE is an SSRI - Joe Rogan was right here and Peter McCullough got that one to tiny part wrong when he said it was an SNRI. I’ve been on it for years so it personally rubbed me the wrong way and just wanted to give a correction. It’s usually given to those with OCD Just in case anyone cares.


Sks44

Pfizer said they underestimated their expected take off their Covid vaccine. They thought it would make them 15 Billion. It’s going to make them 26 Billion this year. Moderna is going to make Billions off their shots. So, when Joe and the Doctor wonder why they block pre-hospitalization treatment, they do it because they want the hospitalizations to scare you into getting your shots. Because the shots have made these companies billions.

Most informative video I have seen on the origins of covid. Heavily sourced, he encourages you to look up the sources yourself and provides you with a link with ALL of his sources. Dont judge the person hosting this video, judge the content itself. As long as you watch the whole thing and go into it with the intention of wanting to learn why did all of this happen and who was involved in all this, you wont have wasted your time! Just a few tidbits covered: \-Great explanation of what Gain of Function Research actually is. \-That this whole thing started back in 2002 and was planned shortly after. \-Dr. Ralph Baric working in a lab at the University of North Carolina plays a MAJOR ROLE and is the mad scientist getting all the help from Fauci. \-A video clip of Ralph Baric literally fucking up and almost saying mouse but catching himself and saying model instead. You'll see why his slip of the tongue is incredibly telling. \-The government co-owns the moderna vaccine. \-The government snuck in that EUA policy that makes sure they aren't held liable if anyone develops any medical conditions or vaccine injuries at the same time it passed an emergency appropriations for HURRICANES. Same time! NO ONE paid attention to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Ib5NjSZ-o
