Sage Steele (1:43)

Tell me why I should trust the Trump administration. RFK Jr.

Dr. Peter McCullough (1:47)

There's a dirty history behind this that gives me chills.

Sage Steele (1:50)

What regrets do you have?

Dr. Peter McCullough (1:52)

I would say.

Sage Steele (2:00)

Here's the thing. I am absolutely beyond excited for this opportunity, first of all, to finally meet you in person. But I feel like I know, I know you from all the live television that you've done over the last five years. You are definitely TV famous as well as in other ways in the medical industry. But Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, a cardiologist, and I didn't know that part. What I knew was basically your work with vaccines and what has happened to this world really since 2020, since COVID So I can't wait to Dive into it. And it's not just, okay, Covid, what happened? It's about the lack of trust where we all are now after learning the truth. And the truth continues to come out. So I want to be looking forward here, not just revisionist history, because it's. It's productive to a level. But I'll get mad, so we need to look ahead. And so before we do that, we're starting here. And he's like, wait, I want to start with sports questions instead of. Is that. What are you going to be on the spot?

Dr. Peter McCullough (2:59)

I want everybody to know this is my only chance to ask these questions because I've been watching her on ESPN sports forever, so I knew you. I can't believe before you, I knew you knew me.

Sage Steele (3:10)

That's amazing.

Dr. Peter McCullough (3:11)

And of course, what does every guy do we watch SportsCenter.

Sage Steele (3:15)

Well, you used to.

Dr. Peter McCullough (3:15)

Right. And so I have to ask you. So if you watch sports, let's just talk about the major, major sports that are played. In your mind, are there things that come up to where the sport could be improved? Oh, gosh, let's just take hockey.

Sage Steele (3:35)

Okay.

Dr. Peter McCullough (3:36)

Okay. Hockey. What's the problem with hockey? I'd say two problems.

Sage Steele (3:43)

The game itself or the reception of the game. It's so hard to watch because of the speed.

Dr. Peter McCullough (3:50)

Speed.

Sage Steele (3:52)

Which is what makes it great, too.

Dr. Peter McCullough (3:53)

Well, I would say two things. One, there's too few goals.

Sage Steele (3:57)

Yes. Like soccer.

Dr. Peter McCullough (3:58)

Okay, so how do you solve that? The goal should be a little bigger. Okay. So you and I, if we were to go in there right now, we tell the NHL, just make it a little bigger.

Sage Steele (4:08)

And the goaltenders are like absolutely nothing.

Dr. Peter McCullough (4:10)

Well, the goaltenders are huge. And I know they have regulations, but it seems like their pads are getting bigger. When you look at a goal, you can barely see any net because they're so huge. I think the goal should get bigger.

Sage Steele (4:22)

I would disagree. Yeah, I don't disagree.

Dr. Peter McCullough (4:24)

Don't disagree. Okay. Now, the other problem is, you mentioned it. It's so fast at times. I, you know, I go to the Dallas Stars games occasionally, and then I'll watch it on tv at times, it's so hard to see the puck. It's moving too fast. Solution? I think the puck needs to get a little bigger and probably have one of those little lights in it so you can really see it. You know, those little kids have toys and lights in them. Okay. I think hockey, that would be solved. Let's move on to basics.

Sage Steele (4:53)

So because of that, the ratings will increase because people want to see. They want to see touchdowns, they want to see home runs, they want to see squints.

Dr. Peter McCullough (5:01)

You do not want.

Sage Steele (5:01)

Because the ratings are struggle sometimes in hockey unless you get to the Stanley cup playoffs. Well, there you go.

Dr. Peter McCullough (5:05)

You don't want an entire period where there's no scores. I don't think in any sport. So I think hockey would solve it. You'd have more scores and you'd be able to see the puck. Now let's take baseball. What's the problem with baseball? This one's obvious.

Sage Steele (5:20)

It is. It's slow.

Dr. Peter McCullough (5:23)

Well, it's too hard to hit the ball if I gave you a bat.

Sage Steele (5:27)

Oh, I guess I've appreciated that. That in golf it's. And here's the thing, there's not an appreciation for how difficult that is.

Dr. Peter McCullough (5:36)

It's so impossible, it's incredible.

Sage Steele (5:38)

We were talking about Aaron Judge the other day and how incredibly beautiful his swing is. And certainly he's 67 and he's a powerful guy. But we take for granted because what do we see in the highlights? Every once in a while we'll see a defensive play, a web gem out in right center, but otherwise. Home run, home run, home run, home run. So I think that we've desensitized people to how difficult it is, but the slowness of it, that's why they're trying to speed up the game.

Dr. Peter McCullough (6:02)

I know, but some baseball scores, it's just there are many innings where there essentially are almost no hits. That's a problem. So I think it's too hard to hit the ball. That's my general problem with baseball. And I think solution just move the pitcher back a little bit. Move that pitcher's mound a little bit back towards Second Bay.

Sage Steele (6:22)

I cannot stand complicated skincare routines. I don't have the patience for five different products and steps and a shelf full of stuff. But lately I've been doing something really simple that's actually made a difference. I've been using beef tallow on my skin and the brand I keep going back to is Amalo. They make a really cleaned product. It's 100% grass fed and finished tallow with just a handful of high quality ingredients. No junk, no fillers, no long list of things that you can't even pronounce. They're also a family run business. Everything is made in small batches here in the US which I really respect. You can tell there's intention behind it and the product. It actually works. I've genuinely noticed a difference. My skin feels more hydrated, it feels smoother and Just overall healthier. I do use it on my face, all over my body, basically anywhere I get dry spots as well. There is a reason over 500,000 people have already tried it. So if you're looking for something simple that actually works, this is absolutely worth trying. Go to amalo.com sage and use code sage for my special discount. That's amalo a m a l l o w.com sage so you want everybody to soften up.

Dr. Peter McCullough (7:33)

Just, just make it a little bit easier to hit the ball. Yeah, make it a little bit. And boy, then now the, the outfielders and they, they say, listen, there's a, you know, in any given inning there, there's going to be some balls up in the air.

Sage Steele (7:45)

But the, the, but the traditionalists in that sport in particular.

Dr. Peter McCullough (7:48)

Well, traditionalists would wipe out all these arguments.

Sage Steele (7:51)

All of it. Yes. And the strategy that goes on around it. Oh, I mean, if you're, if you're a baseball fan and you're watching and you're, and you're at the game. Cause it's very. You can't do it on television. Right. Unless you have alternative cameras and alternative broadcast feed. But when you're there watching and if you have a good seat and you're watching what's happening in that dugout, while you're looking at the bull Patton, while you're looking at the players communications with their signs, it's fascinating, but most people don't know what to look for and don't have the ability to see all of that every time. If you can do that, I'd watch it all day.

Dr. Peter McCullough (8:25)

Do you think baseball is overcoached?

Sage Steele (8:28)

I've never thought about that.

Dr. Peter McCullough (8:30)

You have to have somebody tell you to run from first to second. You can't make that decision on your own. Come on. I mean, it's just, it's overcoached. Do you think you have somebody have to tell you throw a curveball instead of throwing a slider? I mean, it just, it seems overcoached.

Sage Steele (8:47)

Well, football's the same way. When you have quarterbacks with the speakers in their helmets, can't you trust Aaron Rodgers to just go do it? I mean, you'd think so.

Dr. Peter McCullough (8:55)

Okay, but.

Sage Steele (8:56)

Okay, I love.

Dr. Peter McCullough (8:56)

That's baseball. That's baseball. But you have good answers for all of these. Let's move on to basketball. Oh, my gosh. And let's just restrict it to pro basketball, NBA. What's the problem? There's two problems in pro basketball. Two problems. What are they?

Sage Steele (9:14)

One thing that. Well, personally for me One thing that bothers me, there's one thing that's more overarching and one thing with the game itself. I just hate the last two, three decades and the reliance on the three ball. Now I want dribble, drive, passing, post play. Depends on who's on your team, of course, but everybody because of Stephen Curry is just tossing up threes. And then you have kids in AAU games, they don't know how to make a layup.

Dr. Peter McCullough (9:44)

Okay, so you bring up a good point. So the player's capabilities change, but the game itself does it, so.

Sage Steele (9:51)

But the end production has changed so much, too.

Dr. Peter McCullough (9:54)

We'll get to that.

Sage Steele (9:55)

The 80s, 90s, the bad boys. And like, I love that era. We got Bill Lane beer, and they're crushing each other down low. They let them play. They were allowed to be physical, and now, I mean, it's controversial if you let them play, I'm like, let them be men. So I don't like the way that we've, I feel like, gotten softer in that way and tightened up all the rules and there's constant whistles. But that's me being old school with basketball.

Dr. Peter McCullough (10:20)

Okay, so I think we're not totally agreed on this. I would say it's way too easy to dunk. I mean, I remember when I was a kid in high school, if, like, one kid could dunk. I mean, like, how did the human body develop to be able to dunk a basketball so easily? You know, one. I've hardly met anybody in pro sports, but I had a chance to meet John Stockton. Oh, wonderful. Now, John is. He's not that much taller than I am.

Sage Steele (10:48)

He's not.

Dr. Peter McCullough (10:48)

And you know the first question I asked him, I said, can you still dunk it? And he said, yes, he can. But the point is, I think overall, I would vote move the basket a little bit higher. That's just.

Sage Steele (11:02)

So you want the basket higher in basketball, you want the goals wider in hockey, you want the pitcher move back in baseball. So you want hockey and baseball to be made easier, more entertaining, and basketball

Dr. Peter McCullough (11:17)

harder, a little less scoring. Because a lot of times these scores, I mean, come on. I follow the Mavs. I mean, sometimes it doesn't seem like they're playing defense when they're. When they're scoring 120.

Sage Steele (11:27)

No, but they don't really play defense until March.

Dr. Peter McCullough (11:29)

Okay, so now the second thing. Second thing on basketball, this thing that really, really bothers me, traveling. Oh, come on. It should be 1, 2 up, not 1, 2, 3, sidestep, 4, 5. I mean, they travel. As soon as there's a decision to go to the basketball, it seems like traveling is limitless. Sometimes they take off almost at the top of the key. It's too much.

Sage Steele (11:54)

No, I agree. And then sometimes it's not called. But the Euro Step has changed the NBA with the inclusion of so many guys from Europe. Right? And it's a 1, 2, 3. Like, it's. It looks weird, too, because it looks like it's in slow motion. It's interesting because. I don't know. I mean, I think it's called the Euro Step for a reason. And I mean, remember when there was such an intentional effort to bring European players and Tony Kukoc was like, a big deal with the Bulls? And now, I mean, this is why people hate that Jokic has won so many MVPs. Like, well, they're taking over our game. I. And then the Olympics, though, it's much more entertaining now, you know, it isn't just utter domination. I mean, eventually, usually by the US So I agree. I agree with the traveling. And then most importantly to me, not most importantly, one thing that always has bothered me, call the game the same in the fourth quarter that you do the first quarter.

Dr. Peter McCullough (12:49)

Yeah, yeah, I'm with you because I hate it.

Sage Steele (12:51)

Then all of a sudden, now that the game is tight, we're gonna follow the rules, be consistent with everything. Be consistent.

Dr. Peter McCullough (12:58)

Okay, last one. I gotta get off my chest. This is very therapeutic for me. You know, if you ever listen to. If you ever listen to sports talks, radio. Have you ever listened to these guys? And you know they're on the radio and they'll have somebody on said, I've been waiting for two hours. I gotta get this off my chest. In the top of the seventh inning, he should have thrown a curveball at the first base. I mean, these guys, there are people who live and die sports. I know they do so. And sports are so good because it's such a relief. It's in general, sports is happiness. It's interest. I think sports play a huge role. But I saved the hardest sport for last real quick.

Sage Steele (13:36)

The reason you are so right. That's why I, at 11 years old, wanted to be a sportscaster. And as an army kid living in different countries, I realized at that time sports was the ultimate uniter and nothing else mattered. Your race didn't matter, sex, your socioeconomic stat, your politics, nothing mattered. We were a team. And it was the most diverse place you could go.

Dr. Peter McCullough (13:56)

Even breakthrough.

Sage Steele (13:57)

I mean, the mold.

Dr. Peter McCullough (13:59)

You were a breakthrough. Yeah, you were a breakthrough. Ish.

Sage Steele (14:01)

There were certainly a lot of women who came. I mean, Robin Roberts, most importantly to me, just because I thought she was excellent professional. And that has never changed. No matter, you know, she's Good Morning America news now.

Dr. Peter McCullough (14:12)

I think all of you and Michelle Tafoya.

Sage Steele (14:14)

Michelle is incredible too. But in the. When I got out of College, you know, 1995. Yeah. There were no breakthrough. There were not that many.

Dr. Peter McCullough (14:21)

But we saved that. We saved the hardest sport for last. We're going to finish the sports and then we'll get into. No, I think this is medicine.

Sage Steele (14:27)

This is only.

Dr. Peter McCullough (14:28)

But the hardest one is the NFL. What's part of it? So there's been a lot of changes in the NFL and you could pick a lot of things and I don't have. I have a solution. You're not going to like it, but I have a problem. Pass interference. I just said it. Pass interference. Pass interference. How many games are changed by PI calls?

Sage Steele (14:55)

So many. And they're so incapable. And it's subjective. That's the problem. And then it's like, well, where was the official standing when he saw it? It's subjective. And sometimes it's a tap and they call it and it's like, oh, he tapped him. He didn't turn his head. If he had just turned his head, then we wouldn't have called. He didn't turn his head. Other times, two arms wrapped around and there's nothing. And it goes back to basketball. Be consistent with the call. Make it really clear. At the beginning of every season, all the referees go around to each NFL training camp and update them on some of the potential rules, changes and some remind. And then the guy's like, yeah, whatever. Because. Depends on the crew. Depends on the call.

Dr. Peter McCullough (15:33)

Well, you probably listen to a lot of announcers like I do. And if you ever notice, there's some announcers that make a stand, they actually make a call. And there's others that are kind of wimps. And the wimpy announcers, they kind of wait for the referee to call and they'll say, you know, the ref was right, that was just hand fighting. Or, you know, the ref was white, he was shielding. You know, it's like, wait a minute. Make a call before they go to New York. You know.

Sage Steele (16:00)

Exactly.

Dr. Peter McCullough (16:00)

It drives me nuts. These kind of wimpy.

Sage Steele (16:02)

There's very few. It's just like everything else right now, where everybody goes.

Dr. Peter McCullough (16:06)

They don't want to go against the refs, Right?

Sage Steele (16:07)

Listen, Jeff Van Gundy, who I've always loved, he hates me. Now, but it's fine because, you know, when you speak up on certain things, they block you and delete you. I'm like, that's manly. I can put that aside. And I loved when he was on ESPN and ABC and it would tick off the league half the time and half the fans. But he did that. He did his job. He gave his analysis as an expert of the game, of the call. And then he, you know, bitch and moan in some people's eyes. And I was like, well, but he. But he said it. And then you can. Then what do you find yourself? You're arguing with Van Gundy. It's fun. Yeah. And he was honest and so was his brother Stan, who also hates me.

Dr. Peter McCullough (16:47)

Right.

Sage Steele (16:47)

But like, I have such respect for the guys who are unafraid to call it out. But the majority of people, color commentators in all sports, they're kind of.

Dr. Peter McCullough (16:55)

We need now who's. Of the guys right now up as color commentators? Who's your fave

Sage Steele (17:02)

based on the.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:04)

Everything just all around that you. If you watch. You watch an NFL game, you would vote people.

Sage Steele (17:08)

Oh, my gosh. How am I blanking on his last name? Greg. So embarrassed.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:14)

Greg, the former tight end.

Sage Steele (17:15)

Yeah.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:15)

Greg Olson.

Sage Steele (17:16)

Greg Olsen. He's a friend of mine. Blanking. I. I really like Greg Olson. He's a. He's not the obvious person that people want you to pick. He was in that top spot before Tom Brady came in for a reason. And he's worked his butt off. He's younger in it. Kevin Burkhart, play by play is excellent and underrated for football, for baseball.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:36)

Oh, I really got you going. This is fun.

Sage Steele (17:39)

I mean, I also love it.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:40)

This is so fun.

Sage Steele (17:41)

Now are there.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:41)

All my friends are going to be so proud that I was able to do this.

Sage Steele (17:44)

This is so impressive.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:45)

But let's say also.

Sage Steele (17:46)

And Rhys Davis, who is an incredible host of college game day, he is excellent as well with play by play. Not color commentating, obviously, but there's so many. It is so hard.

Dr. Peter McCullough (17:56)

You're probably going to not like my pick, but I am from Dallas and the reason why I'm picking him is because I think the way his voice is, he makes it exciting. So making football is exciting. He also has the hugest dimple in his chin of all time. Who am I talking about? Tony Romo. Oh, you got it. Yeah. Tony Romo. And he just. I don't know. To me, he makes the game exciting. But we have to get back to football in PI. What's the solution for pass interference? How do we solve this? Anybody?

Sage Steele (18:28)

The human element is part of it. And it's just like that in every single sport, there's a yellow card and a red card. In soccer, are you saying the refs

Dr. Peter McCullough (18:37)

have to do better? That's just.

Sage Steele (18:38)

I mean, what's the alternative? Robots, I think, are close, but they want that. Obviously, with baseball's making changes and the machines looking at balls and strikes, everybody's

Dr. Peter McCullough (18:51)

going to go nuts on this. But this is going to be my suggestion that I think they better start running AI on every play, and every player becomes AI and you come up with AI algorithms to say, were they obstructing? Were they not? Were they pushing? You could measure all this where they listen, hear me out. And so what would happen is AI would run in the background. It would go into the ear of the ref. Now, the ref cannot go and hang out and look on this, the screen for Call New York for help. The ref has got to have this real time. And then the AI is saying, you know, probability of PI 90, 99%. And then it's just going to support them. And AI supported.

Sage Steele (19:36)

AI is also biased.

Dr. Peter McCullough (19:38)

Oh, I know. But I'm saying is. I think it can do it. This is so hard. How many times does. Pass interference is like, okay, I'm going to get up and get some more chips during the commercial. When I come back. No, I'm going to study the replay. He's like, I'm a fan. I have to study the replay and then I have to come up with my own.

Sage Steele (19:54)

And then. But everybody wants this perfection. And then they want the games to speed up and AI is the way to do it. I don't. Well, you still have to. Oh, you're saying. So AI immediately into their headset. So basically, we don't need humans.

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:06)

No, it's just A.I. is going to assist getting A.I. listen, I'm a doctor. A.I. is assisting. It is helpful.

Sage Steele (20:14)

Do you know Roger Caddell?

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:16)

No.

Sage Steele (20:18)

I was going to say, let's get you in contact with him anyhow. He's just.

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:21)

Thank you for.

Sage Steele (20:22)

This is its own. This is its own show, what we just did here.

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:26)

Thank you for. I finally got this off my chest.

Sage Steele (20:28)

No one else, like, it's hard to have these conversations.

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:31)

Has anybody ever suggested the things I did?

Sage Steele (20:34)

No.

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:34)

There you go. And I'm just.

Sage Steele (20:35)

Now, wait, I've been out of the everyday sports for two and a half years.

Dr. Peter McCullough (20:38)

So you've been around sports for a long time.

Sage Steele (20:40)

So I. Yes, I'd like to. And I. Obviously, I still have so much passion for it. But who knows? Maybe there have been more conversations. I've just been choosing to focus on other things as well. I don't even watch as many games, Dr. McCullough. I don't. Really, I don't. And I think it's no matter what you do and how much you love it and for my entire life there for 30 years, when you have to know every stat, every player, every team, every coach, like every sport on, you

Dr. Peter McCullough (21:11)

really can't miss the games, can you?

Sage Steele (21:13)

Yeah, I mean, there's ways through technology where there's no way to sit up all night long, watch big games. Yeah, the big games. But listen, Monday Night Football and if I had to be up at 3:30 the next morning when I was doing Morning Sports center and you're on the east coast, so it ends at midnight and then you have to prepare for the rest of your three hour show. There's only so much you can do.

Dr. Peter McCullough (21:33)

It's really hard if you're working to watch Monday Night Football. I know it's a problem out there, but there's gotta be a solution. You know, for the west coast it starts too early. Probably for them Central it's a bit late. I go to bed early and we don't have. We don't have Dandy Don to signal when the game is over with. Do you remember when Don Meredith used to sing this?

Sage Steele (21:57)

Oh my gosh.

Dr. Peter McCullough (21:57)

Remember? It was Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell and Dandy Don Meredith.

Sage Steele (22:01)

What an incredible booth.

Dr. Peter McCullough (22:02)

You know what he did when the game was over? He said, turn out the lights, the party's over. And he would just. When he sang, my dad would say, the game is done. Dandy Don has proclaimed it.

Sage Steele (22:15)

That's amazing.

Dr. Peter McCullough (22:16)

You know, sports is great. You've done such a great thing in your career.

Sage Steele (22:20)

It's been the biggest honor. It really has. Has to have this dream as a little girl when girls didn't do that. It's been the big and the most. I've had so many people supporting me along the way and since I left too. But I feel like I got to do so much more than I ever dreamt of. Which is why I don't miss it. Because I feel like now look, now because of that, I get to do this. I get to meet people like you who. Okay, Segue who Turn the pitch. You've very much helped. I know you hear this all the time. You get stopped in airports everywhere you go and you've done probably thousands of speeches just in the last couple of years. Do you think about, do you stop and think about the difference that you are making in the lives of everyday Americans and even outside of our country? How often do you stop and think about it?

Dr. Peter McCullough (23:12)

You know, in many ways, each one of us could never have predicted that something would come upon us in which we could or would or actually did play a role. This is very important. What came upon us with the pandemic and what's followed undoubtedly qualifies as a great controversy. A great controversy. And to play a role, I, in many ways, I feel like maybe I was tapped to play a role in a time of a great controversy where there was confusion and suffering and sadly, disability and death. And to play what I think is a positive role into such a negative wave of developments has been the greatest honor of my life.

Sage Steele (24:12)

You've probably heard me talk about One Skin before, but I'll be honest, this is one of those products that really, really changed how I think about skin care. I've never been somebody with a complicated routine. I, I need to keep things simple for me. But at a certain point, you start to notice your skin just isn't keeping up the way it used to. That's exactly where One Skin came in for me. It actually works differently than anything else I've tried. I've been using their OS1 in my daily routine and what stood out to me right away wasn't just the lightweight, super clean feel of the product itself, but that over time my skin actually started to look healthier, look smoother, more even and a little more firm. That's good at this age. Let me tell you why it works. As we age, some skin cells, they call them zombie cells, they stop functioning properly. That's what leads to things like fine lines and dullness. And OneSkin's OS1 peptide was specifically designed to target those cells. So you're not just masking the signs of aging, you're actually addressing what's causing them. It is simple, it is effective, and it's something I've even recommended to friends. They're not using it too. Oneskin's results are backed by four peer reviewed clinical studies, over 10,000 five star reviews and they've been recognized by Bloomberg as a leader in skin longevity. You really don't need a complicated routine to get healthier, younger looking skin. Born from over a decade of longevity research, One Skin's OS1 peptide is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin skin now and as you get older. So for a limited time, try one skin with 15% off using code SAGE at OneSkin CO. Sage, that's 15% off OneSkin CO with the Code Sage. And after you purchase, they're gonna ask you where you heard about them. Please support this show, the Sage deal show and tell them I sent ya. I love that you look at it as an honor, even though it has been quite costly for you in many ways. I actually wanna get to that later because I know that that's not your focus. I mean, you're doing this for much bigger reasons than.

Dr. Peter McCullough (26:14)

Well, listen, you look terrific. Doesn't she look terrific in shape? I'm much older, but I'm in great health. I keep myself in the best shape possible. If we're not having pain or suffering and we're alive, then the level of injury really compared to people, I mean, I have patients. You can't imagine how their lives are physically and medically damaged. There are people. Do you know people? There are small business people who put their whole life savings into a business. And when their businesses closed down to the pandemic, 60% of those businesses never came back, including the family business of my co author, John leaked. To this day, I can't hardly even mention his family's restaurant business on Greenville Avenue in Dallas. He says, he goes, doc, he goes, don't bring this up.

Sage Steele (27:12)

That hurts.

Dr. Peter McCullough (27:13)

It hurts so bad. People had their entire savings wiped out. I mean, think about that. People had things happen to them where they became completely disabled. Let's say a stroke. And a stroke can happen actually after the infection, can happen after a vaccine. What if you had a stroke and I was coming visiting you and you're paralyzed on one side, you think about that. So I don't think we've been harmed. And you know what? When it's time to play, big things happen. And I've always felt, listen, I'm big enough and strong enough for it. People change jobs, people reinvent themselves. In many ways we're better for it, no?

Sage Steele (27:58)

I think so. And I think if you don't try to find the silver lining in all of this, I mean, you will be a depressed soul because there's a lot of darkness. And I think that's what I have learned, hesitated to go deep on some of it because it's scary. And then we talked about this earlier. Once you see this, you can't unsee it. And then to me, you have a responsibility for your family, yourself, your family, your loved ones, potentially friends who might listen to, to at least share what you have learned. All of us. And then make your own decision. But if we are uneducated, gosh, to me, it's inexcusable in this day and age when we have the ability to learn so much.

Dr. Peter McCullough (28:34)

Well, wait a minute. You left off one thing. Do you have a responsibility as a public figure more than just your family and friends?

Sage Steele (28:42)

I feel absolutely.

Dr. Peter McCullough (28:44)

There you go.

Sage Steele (28:46)

And what do you know? You're some sports chick. What? Yeah, you're right. And I'm still a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a human being, a friend. And oh, I've lost a lot of friendships and there's been tension in the family for some of my opinions. And I. This is not a woe is me. I'm one of millions. And if that's all I've experienced, I am so lucky. But the point is, I feel like now, honestly, my husband will tell you I know why I'm. I was put on this earth, that is, to be mom to Quinn, Nicholas and Evan, as much as I annoy them to this day. And because I have this God given platform. And now finally, at 53, no fear. The fear is pretty much gone to talk about things. And if I save that with this platform, shame on me. Especially when it's scary. That's when you know you have to speak. It just took a while. And that's okay.

Dr. Peter McCullough (29:42)

How many public figures, especially in your circles, have had things happen to them through the pandemic? No word silence.

Sage Steele (29:50)

Oh, 99% of them.

Dr. Peter McCullough (29:52)

Tons of them. And what happened to public figures when they expressed some concern?

Sage Steele (29:59)

Well, we all know you are shut down. You're canceled. You're deplatformed, you're fired.

Dr. Peter McCullough (30:03)

Yeah. So I did a Twitter poll on this. People were frustrated. They saw public figures, sports announcers. My favorite college sports announcer, Kirk Herbstreet. My favorite weatherman, Al Roker. I mean, the list, the list goes on and on. I did a Twitter poll. I said, why aren't they speaking out? Because if it happens to them, wouldn't they feel a responsibility to warn others? And the answer on the Twitter poll was very interesting. It said they've already lost so much. They've had personal suffering. If they speak out, they believe they'll lose even more. So it's already a loss.

Sage Steele (30:45)

Listen, and it's true. I understand that the fear is real. I lost a lot things that are intangible and more important than money, too. And again, I'm fine. I wouldn't change things. So this is not a sympathy grab, like, absolutely not. Okay. And everyone has to make their own decision to do what's hard. We know it's the right thing. It's easier to stay silent. It's maybe smarter to stay silent. It depends on what is most important to you.

Dr. Peter McCullough (31:16)

You know, who came out and went public. He actually, believe it or not, he visited me when he came to Dallas. He came over to my dinner. My house, and my wife made dinner for him. Eric Clapton, Really? Eric said, listen, you know, and Eric's very open about this. Eric's had a storied life. He's done all kinds of things that medically were inadvisable, but he takes the vaccine and he can't play the guitar. This neuropathy is so bad, he cannot play the guitar. And Eric speaks out. He goes like, listen, I took the shot. I was doing the right thing. I wanted to go on tour. I can't play because this is what I do. Probably one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Sage Steele (31:58)

Oh, my goodness.

Dr. Peter McCullough (31:59)

And he was slammed, canceled, crushed the UK media. So this isn't just the United States, this is the UK coming out. And so he wanted to meet me and go over what happened. And he did some great songs. One of them was called Enough's Enough. And just says, and what Eric explained, he said, listen, these musicians nowadays, with all the electronic sources of music, whatever he says, it's pretty hard to just make money in the studio. You got to go out and tour. And so he had me meet his band. When they did their first tour since the lockdowns and they came to Dallas, Dallas was the first place they. They had a show, and I had a chance to meet the band, watch a practice, and. And we got to know each other and met his personal doctor. And I give Eric great credit for just speaking out so any of these others. But, you know, people have suffered, obviously, vaccine problems.

Sage Steele (32:55)

That's what is still suppressed. That is still what I think. Obviously, the mainstream media and certain platforms don't want you to talk about.

Dr. Peter McCullough (33:02)

But you know what? Most of the figures will stand behind the shield of their doctors. My doctor said the vaccine had nothing to do with it. My doctor said Covid had nothing to do with it. This is very important. So this denial that the virus or the vaccine has any role in what we're seeing now is that's in mainstream medicine. I have patients go to major institutions and they say, listen, I didn't take the vaccine. I've got a giant blood clot from my ankle to my hip. I just had COVID 19 illness two weeks ago. I think it's related. And all the studies would show it's related. That part of the virus is stuck in the blood clots. It causes blood clots. The doctors will tell them, no, it's not due to Covid whatsoever. Like, what? So there's a denial of the pandemic. There's a denial in the medical community of the whole thing.

Sage Steele (34:01)

But deep down, don't they know now? I mean, you can't speak for every doctor. I saw something posted on X just yesterday, and this. I didn't realize the video was from 2018. Yeah, but it's the former head of the Cleveland Clinic who was just talking about the flu vaccine. This is pre Covid and in tears, describing what he didn't know and then didn't share about the risks and just the flu vaccine. And he was in tears and being accountable. What a concept. So I feel like these were discussed in quiet circles away from cell phones that might be listening, etc. And I retweeted it today because I just thought, I mean, this is eight years ago. But he was being accountable. And what we have failed to see is the majority of the medical profession being accountable for what they chose not to do to see and to tell us which is their job.

Dr. Peter McCullough (35:09)

Has anybody at any government level of a public health agency or the White House or any major leader at a major medical center said they're sorry about anything during the pandemic?

Sage Steele (35:23)

I haven't heard any. Not one.

Dr. Peter McCullough (35:26)

Okay.

Sage Steele (35:27)

It's just move on. Next. Next.

Dr. Peter McCullough (35:30)

Okay, is there any other form of a controversy where there never is a sorry? This is very important. Where just it's a part of this thing that happens to humans where they never say they're sorry? Never. Can you think of one?

Sage Steele (35:53)

Nothing of this magnitude, of course.

Dr. Peter McCullough (35:55)

How about war? Does anybody say, listen, I'm sorry, we should have gone to Iraq, or I'm sorry, Vietnam didn't work out, or I'm sorry, Korea war. The program is no apologies for war. Whether you win, whether you lose, whether it's a draw, no apologies. And in our book, Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality, the back part of the book is what's called the bioweapons era, where we liken this idea of the use of vaccines and even the pandemic as a wartime activity. And in the 2004 BioShield act and the 2005 PREP act, all the military terms come out and say, you know what, if we have a pandemic and it is a biological threat, a biological catastrophe, military like actions will be taken. The government will have countermeasures they will be enforced. There'll be freedom of liability. This is all memorialized in legislation that's over 20 years old. Now, the pandemic, the way it was handled worldwide was as if it's a war. Now if there's a war and they tell you listen, shut down your business and you go out of business, they're going to say we don't care if there's a war and you lose your job. They don't care. If there's a war and you're injured due to some civilian contact with bullets, Sorry. If the tanks come down your street and they start mowing over your shrubberies and your house or what have you, there's no apologies. If there are lives lost in war, there's no apologies. You know, civilians, large numbers of them dying. We have an example of this right now in the world for the last five years. Large numbers of civilians. Clear. Civilians in large numbers dying. No apologies. None. So I liken the pandemic to a war. That's the reason why there's no apologies.

Sage Steele (38:03)

That gives me chills.

Dr. Peter McCullough (38:05)

It was considered like a war. In fact, when the COVID 19 vaccines were rolled out, the they were rolled out by the Department of Defense and Health and Human Services, they actually brought that forward as an offering. And to this day. Do you know the vaccines are government purchased? Why? What else does the government purchase for you? What item in your life does the government provide to you free of choice? Just a Covid booster.

Sage Steele (38:33)

Spring has sprung. But before you launch into spring cleaning mode, also consider using this change in season to check in on your health. Specifically your gut health. Because when your gut is healthy, so many other things in your body start working better too. That is exactly why I've been paying more attention to products that support gut health in a real meaningful way. The brand I love is Cowboy colostrum. You've heard it before. What stood out to me right away is the quality. Cowboy Colostrum offers the highest quality bovine colostrum available in the U.S. 100% Made in America from grass fed American cows. And they use true first day whole colostrum. And that's where all the good stuff is. I'm talking about naturally occurring bioactives like immunoglobulins and growth factors. The things that actually support your gut in a meaningful way. And something I also really appreciate. They only collect the excess colostrum after baby calves have had their fill. Cowboy doesn't strip or over process their product. It is whole, full fat, high protein colostrum for maximum nutrient density. When your gut is supported that well, it impacts everything. Immunity, skin clarity, hair strength, nail growth, energy levels, and yes, reduced bloating. So these are not subtle changes. They're results that you can see and feel. It's also, by the way, really easy to use. And honestly, it tastes good. No artificial flavors, just clean ingredients with options like chocolate. That's the one I always choose. Madagascar vanilla matcha. And I love strawberry too. I'll just throw a scoop into my coffee or a smoothie and that's it. So for a limited time, my listeners get up to 25% off their entire order. Just go to cowboycolostrum.com sage and use code sage at checkout. That's 25% off when you use code sage@cowbiecolostrum.com sage so this was strategic. Well, war is strategic.

Dr. Peter McCullough (40:27)

Many are investigating the planning for this. People started to invest. Now, I had no idea there was pandemic planning. When I went to medical school, there was never any discussion. I was, you know, chief of cardiology at a major university. I was a chief academic scientific officer at entire health system program director. I had all held all these positions. I had never gone to a secret meeting where they say, we're getting ready for a pandemic and this is what's going to happen. I never got an email. Nobody ever sent me a video saying, listen, you better pay attention when a pandemic comes. Now we're getting mandatory training. Well, what happens is there's a fire. Well, you grab a fire extinguisher, grab it, pull, aim, spray. I mean, they make you go through all these modules, right? So there was never a module about what happens when a pandemic comes. Turns out that pandemic preparedness planning has been a government business, both on the science side and the military side for at least a couple decades. And the best book to quote on this is Peter Breggen COVID 19 and the global Predators We Are the Prey. And I wrote the introduction for it. Bregan in the timeline in the back of the book highlights 36 pandemic preparedness planning events. For this pandemic planning 36, they go back to about 2004, BioShield act being one of them. Of those 36, 24 produce written documents that you can read. Six of them are videos. You can just watch the planning event. So as we get forward, I mean the one that really caught my eye, someone sent it to me was in 2017, the Gates foundation and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. They hold a Roundtable exercise major leaders in healthcare. It has proceedings slides. They produce an over 80 page monograph. The title of the program is the Spars Pandemic. A coronavirus pandemic that's going to hit in 2025. And it said, listen, there's a theoretical coronavirus, it's going to come out of China. It's going to get everybody.

Sage Steele (42:46)

What year again?

Dr. Peter McCullough (42:47)

2017.

Sage Steele (42:48)

2017.

Dr. Peter McCullough (42:48)

Okay.

Sage Steele (42:49)

And predicting it for 25.

Dr. Peter McCullough (42:51)

Predicting for 2025. Now it says, well, there's going to be great controversy over treatment, but the solution will be a vaccine. We're going to roll out a vaccine for everyone to take. Well, even get the President of the United States to promote the vaccine. It's all in the sparse pandemic. So when the pandemic breaks, what does Johns Hopkins do? They actually publish this in two peer reviewed papers and said, we called it. It's astounding. Now the next one again is Johns Hopkins, Bloomberg School of Public Health and Gates Foundation. This is in November of 2019, two months before we know about this. And that's called event 201. Now event 201 is filmed there you have George Gao, the Chinese CDC director, you have many other public health officials there. Importantly, Avril Haines, who was at the World Economic Forum, she became our Director of National Intelligence later on under Biden. She's there and they say for sure it's going to be a coronavirus, it's going to hit, it's going to come from China. In fact, George Gow and Avril Haines section of event 201 is how do we actually message that it came from a lab? How do we do this? How do we cover it up actually? And that's event 201. That's two months before it happens. So when people start looking at this now backwards, we say, wait a minute, the virus potentially came out of the Wuhan Lab in the summer of 2019. This was actually a real plan, this was a real operational meeting of what

Sage Steele (44:27)

was in November of 2019.

Dr. Peter McCullough (44:29)

Right. And both of these, the conclusion was, you know, position treatment as being futile, the virus is unassailable, and the only solution will be for global vaccination.

Sage Steele (44:44)

How much was Anthony Fauci involved in any of those studies? Discussions from what you know, you know,

Dr. Peter McCullough (44:49)

he's not mentioned, but it's clear in the pandemic preparedness events that his group at the National Institutes of Health is called the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, niaid. His group was funding Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Who's the most published person on coronaviruses in the world to create primordial SARS COV2, create this virus. Here's the virus. So the virus is a ball. It's what's called the nucleocapsid. And there's spikes on top. Now, throughout the history of mankind, there was four of these that we could actually cause a cold, a very mild cold. And what they were working on was how to engineer this spike protein so where it could be invasive. Prior to this, this would not invade the body. You'd get a little sniffles, but it would not invade. The spike protein was intentionally manipulated through Fauci's funding of Ralph Baric and the Chinese lab to directly invade human cells and be lethal. And what we've learned now is there's no ability for the human body to break this down or get rid of it. It's called the spike protein. The ball is the same. The ball doesn't hurt us. That's a nucleocapsid. Is all the damage from the illness. You say, why would something benign like a coronavirus, you know, kill a senior citizen? Which it did is because of the lethal spike protein engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This is all in the U.S. house of Representatives Subcommittee on Coronavirus Investigations. This is all part of U.S. governmental investigation. Every single U.S. government intelligence agency agrees it came out of the lab.

Sage Steele (46:44)

So when you look at the why behind this, I think that's why so many people have had trouble. And just. No, this. This couldn't have been intentional. No. Who would do that? I get that you don't want to believe that in my mind, there's evil in the world that exists in this area. We see it elsewhere, but not here. Not when it might come across as intentionally trying to harm people. What's the why?

Dr. Peter McCullough (47:19)

Why in Baric's experiments, a notable one was published in January of 2015 in Nature Communications, and then in January of 2016 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And one of the things I've done, I've testified in Congress numerous times, multiple state houses, is I cite the evidence precisely so we can go back and every single piece of information can be viewed and examined. But in these papers, it says, this is gain of function research. We're trying to make this virus more infectious and more lethal. It's occurring under Obama's ban on US Funding of this. So therefore, we are outsourcing it to. To the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and they thank the Chinese for their collaboration. And they indicate that this is an attempt to get ahead of nature. So almost all of this pandemic response biolabs, the whole theory is, well, nature could throw us something bad. So if we create something even worse than what nature can create, we can be ready when a pandemic hits. And it goes back to 1918 in the Spanish flu, where it did have tremendous mortality. We had no answers back then. We had no modern medicinals. And sadly, people didn't die of influenza. If you read the descriptions of it, we have a chapter in our book on this. They actually died of secondary staphylococcal pneumonia. So if we just would have even had antibiotics, we wouldn't have had millions of people die of Spanish flu. But the point is, the scientific community now has become incredibly enthralled with this idea of biological threat research. And Peter Desic, who was at Equal Health alliance, who was a go between, between Fauci and the nih, Baric and the Chinese, and he had been to the Chinese lab many times. You know, he said he had left many more samples over there. So what does he have? Covid 20 and 21 and 22. It's just unbelievable. But listening to his testimony, this is kind of what I would infer, reading between the lines, the group who holds a biological threat in their hand. They've created a virus that can get the whole world sick from a single sample. And they hold a solution, a vaccine that everyone must take. They hold power. This is power. It's pure raw power. Can you imagine the negotiating power here? How about these geopolitical conflicts? Can you say, Mr. President, we'd like to talk to you about the tariffs. We have Covid 20 ready to go. We think it could be spilled on a New York subway. Do you think we could talk about these tariffs? Can you imagine the power? Or what if you're a company. What if you're a company about tech company and say, you know what? We've got this virus and we've got a vaccine. Whoops, it got out of the lab. We've got a vaccine that every government must purchase. Think of the raw power of this. This is far more powerful than kinetic weapons, nuclear arsenals. This is unbelievable. This can reach all over the world. Not even a nuclear warhead can do that. It's astonishing how powerful it is. And so recently at the World Economic Forum, there was a statement by one of the leaders there. This is a place, by the way, where a lot of the bad guys go and very rich Bad guys. They said, you know, the COVID 19 pandemic was a wonderful test of global compliance. Yes, compliance. Were you compliant? Were you compliant?

Sage Steele (51:26)

Yes. And I will regret it for the rest of my life. And I think I'm okay from it and my family members, but the principle of it, and I think that's what's hard to grasp, is that there are people who are so power hungry that they don't care about the death and destruction that it literally causes. No one wants to talk about the vaccine injuries. Fortunately, people like you and many others are out there doing that. They don't want to talk about the people whose businesses were lost because their life savings were put into it and they're gone and shut down and never seen again. And some of these areas that they say they care about so much in Detroit and you know, like the hypocrisy is thick and that is what I have reluctantly come to realize, is that there is true evil in the world because they care more about the power and the money than people's well being and lives. Lives.

Dr. Peter McCullough (52:32)

Has it ever happened before where some giant corporate entity was making so much money? They truly did not care about human health and they intentionally suppressed any information about their products for decades. Any examples? How about smoking? Oh, yeah. The tobacco industry, the all powerful tobacco industry. 1950, 80% of this country smoked. Doctors did. Nurses did. They had doctors smoking promotional programs in the office. RGR Reynolds, American Tobacco Company, Philip Morris. Doctors could hand out cigarettes to their patients. Doctors opined on which cigarettes were the best in their opinion. Doctors were engaged in advertising. Smoking was big business, big business. And when the first doctors in the uk, courageous doctors said, we've got a concern. This doesn't look good. Looks like it could cause lung cancer. Oh, they were dismissed. Oh, go do some research and come back. They came back. They did the British physician smoking study. They showed convincingly smoking was causing the death of doctors. They still were rejected. The tobacco industry tried to smear them. If they had Twitter accounts today, they would have had their Twitter accounts suspended. They would have been knocked off of YouTube. If they were ESPN announcers, they would have been booted. Yes. And so Richard Dahl, bless his heart, he lives long enough. It wasn't until 1993 where they said, you know what? He's a hero. From the time he made the call in 1950 to the time he's a hero was 43 years. How many people developed lung cancer? How many people developed coronary heart disease? Other problems, throat cancer. It was horrendous. And the tobacco industry worked like crazy to cover this up. And you know, there was even tobacco money going to the American Medical Association. And when Luther Terry, our surgeon general, came out in 1964. So listen, I have a report, Doctors, this is bad news. Smoking is causing harm. Even the doctors then weren't that responsive. You know, there weren't doctors at medical school saying, listen, I'm quitting smoking. It's bad. I want to serve as an example. I can't remember a single one who did that.

Sage Steele (54:49)

No.

Dr. Peter McCullough (54:50)

And then finally, 1978. That's not that long ago. 1978, the American Medical association has its first pamphlet. It says the, the harms from smoking. And we didn't get to the tobacco settlement to the 1990s. So smoking is an example. It's another example where there's power and there's money and great harm to the population.

Sage Steele (55:12)

And they did an incredible job. I've said this about this, the smoking tobacco industry for years because once they started to hear the rumblings and then once things began to be exposed, I mean, they were already preparing for it. And okay, well, if people are going to be like, oh, smoking stinks. So we're not going to. So it's no more cigarettes, but we're going to keep you addicted. And we're going to create these vapes that smell like watermelon and cherries and they're going to have pretty colors. So women think it's okay to do and so our children think it's kind of cool to do. And then they're not going to get in trouble for doing it on right outside of the high school or on the bus because it's not going to be nearly as invasive. Like I, I am still livid about that because my kids generation, yeah, that's what they got. My mother was told it was fine to smoke with me when I was born in 1972.

Dr. Peter McCullough (56:03)

Did your mom smoke?

Sage Steele (56:04)

Yes.

Dr. Peter McCullough (56:04)

Did your dad smoke?

Sage Steele (56:05)

No. I mean, I think casually here or there. But my mother smoked throughout her pregnancy with me.

Dr. Peter McCullough (56:11)

My dad was a chain smoker.

Sage Steele (56:13)

Yeah.

Dr. Peter McCullough (56:13)

I grew up in Buffalo, New York and those cold winters, all the windows closed. Our house was probably gray inside.

Sage Steele (56:21)

Every piece of clothing in the closet is completely.

Dr. Peter McCullough (56:23)

And you know, my dad was a die hard Bills fan. Oh man, he. And we're talking the old days back to Jack Kemp and Jim Ferguson and you know, O.J. simpson. It goes on and on. Jim Kelly. And so we had season tickets to the Bills. And you know, my parents didn't make a lot of money but let me tell you, that last dollar was going to be spent on going to a Bills game. And the entire day was planning and what we're going to do and what we're going to wear. I'll never forget going to Bills games, particularly night games. And we didn't have too many. The Bills were not on Monday Night Football very much because they weren't very good.

Sage Steele (57:00)

Exactly.

Dr. Peter McCullough (57:01)

But I never forgot to night games. And I remember the constant smell of tobacco. And I remember looking up at a Bills game and seeing a giant ring of smoke around. And anybody who's my age remember as a kid going to these games and watching. That's how common smoking was.

Sage Steele (57:20)

It was accepted. It was glamorous in many ways. Oh, yeah. And that's what I mean. I give the industry credit for being proactive for once. I got exposed and thinking ahead to have this, you know, much less offensive tool. But I got to a settlement is even more addicting.

Dr. Peter McCullough (57:40)

And new industry was born. You're right. And I had somebody recently in the office. I'm in practice as an internist and cardiologist. I'm board certified. My office is in Dallas. I had somebody come out as struggling with lung problems, and they vaped. And I. I said, I can't explain it any other way, that God designed our lungs and the lungs of all mammals to have clean air go in and clean air go out. Nothing else than clean air. There should be nothing else in the air that goes in. And it should not be a surprise if you intentionally put something in the air, a vaping ether, you know, tobacco smoke on it's going to damage the lungs. It should not be hard. But, you know, in the Emperor of All Maladies, which is a great book by Mukherjee, he was at the Dana Farber Institute. It's his first book and he won the Pulitzer Prize. That should tell you something. Great book, and it's about the history of cancer. Cancer is the emperor of all maladies. He describes this lead surgeon at Johns Hopkins, and he's taking out these lung cancers. And the surgeon is smoking while he's taking out the cancers. If you can remember, this is probably 1950s, 1960s, and all the residents are watching him and he's teaching them, no, no, smoking doesn't cause this. The black smoke going in the lungs doesn't cause the blackened cancer coming out. You know, denying this the entire way. And then he himself dies of lung cancer and still doesn't see it. You can see the parallels today. No, Covid didn't cause the blood Clot. That can't be it or the vaccine. Yet every study shows the spike protein causes blood clots. It's the same denial.

Sage Steele (59:25)

You know what I've realized lately? The clothes I wear at home are actually the ones I live in the most. And for a long time I didn't think much about that. I just threw on whatever was comfortable. But this spring I've been wearing Cozy Earth and it has completely changed how I think about that off duty time. Their brushed bamboo jogger set has basically become my default. It's one of those outfits that feels amazing the second you put it on. Super soft, really breathable, but still looks put together enough if somebody, you know, knocks on your door or I need to run out quickly. Somehow it just keeps getting softer every single time I wash it. And then there are the lake house clogs, which I didn't expect to love as much as I do. They're really easy, they just slip on, but they've actually got real support. I can wear them around the house. I can step outside, run a quick errand and not think twice. What I appreciate about Cozy Earth is that it's not just about comfort in the moment, it is the quality. These are pieces you're going to keep reaching for year after year. And they back that up with a 30 day return policy and even a lifetime warranty. So this spring, give yourself the kind of comfort that lives with you all day, not just the moment you get home. Head to cozyearth.com and use my code sage for an exclusive, exclusive 20% off. That is code sage for an exclusive 20% off. And if you see a post purchase survey mention that you heard about Cozy Earth right here on the Sage Steel show, comfort lives here. If you have a brain right now, you must question. And like I said at the beginning, the lack of trust is where I am right now. And I'm not a doctor and never will be. So you have to figure out what that comfort zone is for you and how are you going to get the information? How are you going to maybe act differently next time when these mandates come down? You know, I think I looked at the. I guess it wasn't a study. I probably saw it somewhere online. But what shocked me with the vaccine was to learn that pharmaceutical companies had complete immunity from any ill effects of vaccines whether they were required or not. And I was like, how could they do that with the COVID I mean, you know, this is intentional and they, they wanted fill in the blank because they had themselves completely protected. And then I Went, wait a minute, this was an act of Congress in 1986 a lot. I mean, years, decades before the COVID 19 pandemic. So that's what I. What's the why there? The why leading up to 2019 and 2020. Okay, that made sense to me. And I'm like, wait, we're going back to 86. Why? Why did Congress choose to. I mean, there's no other industry where there's complete immunity, is there?

Dr. Peter McCullough (62:20)

Well, is there any liability from, you know, those roofers putting on a house there? Do they have liability if something happens and the roof starts to leak? Are they accountable for the. Sure they are.

Sage Steele (62:32)

Yes.

Dr. Peter McCullough (62:33)

A lot of times you get a roof, it'll say 20 year warranty. Well, in our book Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality, we go through this history of vaccines, kind of the good, bad and the ugly. It really is a gripping story and it's a lot of characters in there, ones you'll know and recognize and helps people understand, you know, who is Cotton Mather or Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur, and all the way through the modern day Anthony Fauci. But we get to 1986 in the history of vaccines and there was a problem with what's called the cellular pertussis vaccine. The children were getting it. They could get brain inflammation, seizures, fever. It was pretty bad. And the manufacturers of the vaccine approached the government and said, listen, we're getting so many lawsuits on this. We need protection. If we don't get protection, we're not going to produce these products. We're pulling out. And Reagan was the president at the time. And HHS and Congress wrote the National Vaccine Injury Compensation act. And it said vaccines have unavoidable harms. We can't avoid it. Once it's injected, it's like, good luck. It's in the legislation. They have unavoidable harms. Therefore, the manufacturers will be immune from liability and the government will step in and have a compensation program if anybody's injured. So then we follow this up with, okay, well, where's the compensation? Where's that part of it? And we have a chapter about the U.S. court of Claims. And it comes up about 12 years after the legislation comes in place and these cases start to accrue. And the concern is that so many vaccines are given in combination. About 20 vaccines have in their warnings or side effects that they cause brain inflammation, they go into the brain, they cause brain inflammation, causing seizures, and some kids end up having permanent neurologic damage. It's in their package insert. The concern was this rise in autism spectrum disorder. So there was a plaintiff class that said, okay, we're going to bring our case to the US Court of Claims. All these parents, kids with autism, they had the vignettes and what have you. And the government said, okay, we're going to pick out a case as a bellwether case. And the case they pick out is of this little girl, Hannah Polling. And she's a little bit behind in her vaccines because she had other illnesses. And so around 15 months, she gets a big bundle of vaccines, you know, measles, mumps and rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and the list goes on and on. And this all occurred for Hannah, I imagine about 2008 or so. So it's kind of after my kids were born and could have been around the time your kids probably before your kids.

Sage Steele (65:38)

My youngest is 06.

Dr. Peter McCullough (65:39)

Okay, so right around that time. And so. And your child probably got the same battery anyhow. Hannah gets really sick afterwards, has a fever, fussy, you know, neurologically is just something has changed. And then she develops all the classic features of autism. She regresses, she can't speak. And we're talking, you know, profound autism. So what's unique about Hannah Pulling is her husband is her husband. Her father is Jonathan Pulling. Jonathan Pulling is a neurologist at Johns Hopkins. So he's studying his daughter. He actually publishes a case report, identifies, actually she had a little enzymatic change in her what's called mitochondrial function in her muscles. So muscle biopsy, he was studying that, but that was obviously a predisposing factor. And he publishes this peer reviewed paper about how the vaccines were a clear trigger for his daughter's autism. Well, what does the US Court of Claims do? They read this, they examine it, and they have separate adjudicators. And they said, you know, Dr. Polling, we'd like to pull you aside and make a private settlement with you on this. So they settle with Dr. Polling, he leaves Johns Hopkins, he goes into practice in Athens, Georgia, where he still is today. And then they take the rest of the claims and they sweep them away. That's the US government and vaccines that all occurred circa 2010 or so. I am telling you, the history of vaccines in the United States is dirty business. It's dirty business if we're talking about childhood vaccines and complications. We have a chapter on the anthrax vaccine. You have to read the book. There's a dirty history behind this. This is unlike other parts of medicine, but to me, it's akin to Smoking. Or if we were to go further back in history, around 1860-1920, believe it or not, all the medicinal products were cocaine. And it was a disaster back then. Vaccines are essentially a 300 year rolling story where there's an ideology, and the ideology goes like this, that mankind is inherently susceptible to infectious diseases. Throughout history, have you ever noticed you can get sick with a cold or a flu, but your dog never gets it? Isn't that interesting? You never seen a squirrel outside blowing their nose? Never. I mean, it's just humans are susceptible to these illnesses, and because of that, it's an opportunity for mankind and the brilliance of science, the brilliance of vaccinology, to protect ourselves, that we can actually, with our scientific tools, man can improve upon God's natural immunity. Man outdoes God. Vaccines for protection outdo, you know, God Almighty. This is an astounding hubris. But the vaccines aren't perfect. So for this to work, everyone must take them. Without exception. Everyone must take them. And if someone is injured or disabled or they die from a vaccine, they should accept this for humanity. That is vaccine ideology. And we saw that play out real time with COVID

Sage Steele (69:23)

I want people to remember that some of it is overwhelming, et cetera. But when this industry is completely protected and there's never any chance for accountability,

Dr. Peter McCullough (69:33)

that right there, it's not just protection, it's this religious belief.

Sage Steele (69:38)

Yes. It's deeper than that. And that's why I beg people to question, because you mentioned the roofers that we're hearing there. They're messing up my microphones over here. Everyone is protected. Everyone, excuse me, has accountability or some way to. If there's a mistake there, there's, there's repercussions. There's something. And, and with this, when you're dealing with human beings, there's not. You know, I was born in 1972, so my grade school years, junior high, high school, you know, everybody could bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It was fine. Oh, yeah, there were no peanut butter allergies. Nobody even talked about autism. That wasn't a thing. Probably in the medical community, but certainly not as kids and younger parents like my parents were. And all of a sudden, it's everywhere. It's nonstop. For a while, Southwest Airlines stopped serving those little bags of peanuts because of the peanut allergies. And that could, you could get the dust in the air and the whole. There's no way to. Me again, some idiot sports girl, you know, who just happened to take a minute and go, wait a minute, because look at the Vaccine schedule for childhood vaccines that in the early 80s was you could count on one hand or at least not double digits. And now it's in the 70s. Is it an obvious correlation to the number of vaccines with everything else we're seeing in particular autism?

Dr. Peter McCullough (71:03)

It's almost direct. You know, McCullough foundation, which is a not for profit foundation I formed in 2022, we received a big grant to study this and we studied it in great detail and have published the most comprehensive report on this. It's called the determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder. And we looked at this. The organic rise in autism is real. It's not just early detection. It's true, autism did exist. I mean, I had one patient in my practice who passed away. He was in his 80s and he had severe autism. He had that autism. Remember Rain man and Dustin Hoffman, he had Rain Man, Dustin Hoffton, he had that high mid tone, very noticeable, very noticeable. And you know, autism is one of the most interesting illnesses or diseases or what others would term neurodiversity do. You know, so many of profound cases of autism. They have some incredible intellectual talent. Did you know this?

Sage Steele (72:01)

Yeah. I mean I haven't seen numbers, et cetera, but just through.

Dr. Peter McCullough (72:06)

Have you ever met anybody?

Sage Steele (72:07)

Yes. And you're like, wait, there's true brilliance here.

Dr. Peter McCullough (72:11)

Yes. This man, he could just, you could tell he's incredibly disabled. He came in with care workers that helped him and then like Rain man, watch that movie. And she would say, well, who played in the 1946 World Series and who is the pitcher at the top of the seventh inning? And he would nail it.

Sage Steele (72:29)

Yeah.

Dr. Peter McCullough (72:30)

Incredible. And what pitch did he throw? It's like, what? And recently a patient came in my office and her son drove her and he was about 30 and I was with the mother in the exam room and this 30 year old man or boy was just literally just wandering around every office room. And I was like, I said, is he going to be okay? She goes, yeah. He goes, he just can't sit still. He's wandering, he can't pay attention. So he had all the phenotypic characteristics of autism. And after I finished up with him, she goes, you know, he's got a couple real talents. He's a great driver. He drove me here for over an hour. We live out rurally. He drives tractors and other. I said, really? That's terrific. And he could barely look at me. He was just tough. And he goes, he has another talent. And I said, what's that? He's great with dates. I said, really? She goes, yeah, Doctor, when were you born? I said, well, I was born December 29, 1962. And then he looked at me, he got a big smile on his face, and he went. His eyes just flashed back and forth like this. What's going on? He goes, you were born on a Saturday. I go, you got to be kidding me.

Sage Steele (73:41)

My goodness.

Dr. Peter McCullough (73:42)

And sure enough, I looked it up. I was born on a Saturday. She goes, he nails it every time. And I asked him, I said, how do you do that? He said, I don't know. He says, but every calendar is in my brain. And I can just spin him backwards. And I can go right to that calendar in my brain. And I can see that number is right there on the 29th. It's a calendar that he can see in his brain. Incredible. It's incredible. So what we Learned in the McCullough foundation report is that autism is clearly on a rise. The CDC has been tracking this for over 25 years. The CDC has an autism spectrum network of 16 centers in the United States. They're carefully chronicling this disaster among the children. And it's rising astronomically. 27% of autism is profound. Autism markedly reduced IQ, cannot live alone. Screaming head banging, cannot use the toilet, literally will need lifelong care. That's 27% of this pool. That's greatly expanding. Right now the whole pool size is between 3 and 4%. Some states it's higher. Like California, it's over 5%. So this is an important point. Over 1% of California children are 60, severely disabled with autism. And in our book we do a calculation. Do you know there are more kids severely disabled with autism than there ever was with polio? Wow. Autism is way bigger of a public health problem than polio.

Sage Steele (75:09)

And it's fast.

Dr. Peter McCullough (75:10)

But so what do we learn? The kids are born normal. It's very importantly. So they start out normal. There are some predisposing factors, and this is happening nowadays. Older parents. So a man over 40, a woman over 35, a baby born prematurely before 37 weeks. Remember, we have NICUs that can save the babies. Common genetic variants. But the genetic variants are not pinpoint. They're things that 25 or 50% of us have anyway. So there's nothing that's very notable. And then maternal exposures. So if a mother takes, let's say a serious psychiatric medicine, an antidepressant, heavy antidepressant and antipsychotic for full nine months every day, or an anti seizure medication, it can affect brain development. Not taking a couple capsules of Tylenol. Tylenol is not in the picture here and Tylenol essentially has been completely ruled out of any concern. Ryan Reynolds here from IT Mobile.

are the predisposing factors. Now the baby's still fine. The baby's born and they're fine. Then they come up to a big battery of vaccines, typically between one year and two years and boom, the conversion happens. And it's typically an immediate reaction, sometimes a rash, nausea, vomiting, becoming very flaccid, not feeding, not looking at the parents, a seizure, which is terrifying for the parents to see seizure and then regression into autism. So our conclusion of our report, which is the most comprehensive scientific document to date, is that combination vaccines are a risk factor. We don't say cause risk factor means we consider all these other variables. Obviously there's a lot of kids, like my kids and your kids, they took vaccines, they don't have autism. I took tons of vaccines. I don't have autism. So it's not all the children, right, but it's those probably susceptible, probably having a bad reaction and it happens. So what did we do? We sent our report to Robert F. Kennedy and hhs, all the people, White House press release. The cadence of this was Kennedy comes out with Trump and Bhattachara, Macri and Oz, and they give a press conference September 22nd of 2025. And you can see it's a, it's an odd press conference. Trump kind of stumbles. He goes, we know what causes autism. Everyone goes, what is it? He goes, aceta. He can't even pronounce it. What is it called? Oh, acetaminophen. And then classic Trump, he can't stay on script. And he goes, well, the real problem is really the vaccines. So, so he gets on the vaccines and Kennedy is trying to mop it up and, oh, it's, it's Tylenol and we should give a little bit more Folic. It was the most odd press conference. No One in it random. There was a huge paper in jama in 2022 by Altquist from Sweden. They analyzed 2 million births in Sweden. Every single capsule of Tylenol of a woman. Did she take it? Did she not take it? This is incredible study. And they even had sibling analysis where the same woman, the same father, same genetics, one baby, the mother had a headache and took some Tylenol. The other pregnancy, she didn't take a single capsule. There's zero relationship with Tylenol and autism.

Sage Steele (79:04)

Why would they throw that out there then?

Dr. Peter McCullough (79:08)

Honestly, I think it was a giant misdirection. So that's too big of a misdirection. Timothy had promised he's going to have an answer on autism by September of 2022. It looked to me like 25 or 2025. It looked like they were ready to come out and tell that we're concerned about the vaccines because, you know, a few months later, they trimmed the vaccines. But somebody at the last minute, seems like they got ahold of them and said, listen, pin it on Tylenol. That to me, that's what I think. So what happens is we do this McCullough foundation report. We do a press release on October 27th. A month later, 2025, send it to them. 19 days after our report, no discussion. In the middle of the night, the CDC on their website changes and says, you know, we can't rule out the connection between vaccines and autism.

Sage Steele (80:02)

So now tell me why I should trust The Trump administration, RFK Jr. With any of this, even though I think, yes, it's better than the last administration with how COVID vaccine was handled, et cetera, and leading up to it. But if they're going to irresponsibly was what it sounds like with Tylenol, come out and say, this is the reason for autism. Why should I trust them now?

Dr. Peter McCullough (80:29)

It's intentional deception. Honestly, I think it's intentional deception. It made Kennedy look so bad. I mean, you can't do it.

Sage Steele (80:36)

He's a smart man. Like, why would he. He knew. Accept it and say it.

Dr. Peter McCullough (80:40)

Even trust Trump knew Trump couldn't stay on the script. If you notice Trump, just before you know it, he goes, the real problem is the kids are taking too many vaccines. Trump is right. So what happens 90 days later is Trump, according to his true social tweet, he gets ahold of Jim o', Neill, who's the acting director of the CDC and, you know, has all these committee meetings. They didn't make any progress. He tells Jim o', Neill, trim The vaccine schedule. So Neil just says, like in a stroke of a pen, says, okay, we're just going to trim it down to what Denmark's schedule is. We're going to go from 17 diseases that we're trying to prevent down to 11, and we're going to reduce the number of doses by 55 doses. So it's some vaccine reform. The big worrisome ones are still there. The combos like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and mmr. This comes up and the vaccine freedom community says, yay, at least there's less. Remember the reason why this is such a big deal, the government sets a vaccine schedule. This is. There's actually laws tied to this. The government sets the vaccine schedule. The vaccine schedule rolls out to the states. Some states said by law, children must take these to attend school.

Sage Steele (81:54)

Yes.

Dr. Peter McCullough (81:55)

So this isn't just a casual recommendation. That's the reason why this vaccine stuff is so bad.

Sage Steele (82:00)

Can cite it and say, no, look, right? This is.

Dr. Peter McCullough (82:03)

So the schedule gets changed. People cheer. What happens? The American College of Pediatrics, which on their website is directly funded by the vaccine companies. Directly funded by. They get together a class of plaintiffs, including the American College of Physicians, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Of interest. You know who's in the plaintiff class? The autism advocacy societies. And the suit is against Robert F. Kennedy and HHS and the Trump administration, saying, what you did to the vaccine schedule is harming public health. Revert the vaccine schedule to back to what it was. And indeed, a liberal judge grants that. So we're actually back to square one.

Sage Steele (82:52)

What was the autism group doing in there?

Dr. Peter McCullough (82:55)

That's such an. Why. If. If the party line is vaccines are unrelated to autism, why would an autism society be on the side of giving more vaccines more? It must tie back to funding. I hate to say this. If the vaccine manufacturers are funding these medical groups, are they funding the vaccine support groups so they take this pressure off them so these products can roll. You know, can you imagine if you sold a product that every human being at a certain age must take, and this product is either purchased by insurance companies, and if people can't afford it, the government buys it. Can you imagine? Imagine if the government bought iPhones for all of us. This idea of there's. There's nothing like this in medicine. The government doesn't buy antibiotics for everybody. Government doesn't buy mammograms for everybody. This is. There's something about vaccines. So in our book, you know, we start out with this mythology about how, you know, they're mysteriously presented. There's bold claims. There are a lot of things that are just aren't substantiated. When the first vaccines were developed, they didn't even know what was causing the illness. The ideology I've described, but I want people to understand how deep this ideology is on the front cover. Look at this coin. It's a €20 coin issued by the Vatican in 2022, in the middle of the pandemic. Okay? And it's a boy, assuming the classic tripartite image of a boy about to receive the Eucharist. He's about to receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ in a communion. He's a communicant, but instead of receiving the body and blood of Christ, instead of being saved, he's getting a COVID vaccine on the coin. The vaccine becomes his savior. This is the Vatican. This is the Catholic Church. You can't make this up. This is an astounding revelation about the religiosity of vaccines. And, you know, people hold them as religious items. They're accepted as articles of faith. When they rolled out, did you see the wild behavior? Did you see Stephen Colbert's show where all these people dress up as vaccine syringes and they're dancing around? Did you see the super bowl halftime show around 2010 where there were vaccine syringes floating up in the air? And it was about some type of vaccine program in 2010. 2010.

Sage Steele (85:41)

That was at the super bowl in Dallas.

Dr. Peter McCullough (85:43)

Yeah, I don't know if it was in Dallas or where it was, but people have brought that up. It's like, wait a minute. There is a religiosity around vaccines. And so if you come up to people, if I came up to you and said, listen, I want to have a conversation with you about an antibiotic, you'd say, okay, let's talk about it. Or I want to talk to you about an antidepressant. Fine. If I said, hey, I want to talk about vaccines, oh, my gosh. People are saying, they give you the Heisman. I don't want to talk about it. We have a dinner party coming up this weekend, and my next door neighbor has proudly taken every COVID 19 vaccine and booster. And I guarantee when I show up, his wife, and his wife has two, she will immediately confront me and she'll say, Dr. McCullough, don't you say a word about vaccines. Don't you say a word. I mean, I'm given the order to even show up. And they're our friends. Right next door to us. And I'll show up at this party, I guarantee. And before I have my first tonic water, someone will come up. Dr. McCullough, I took the COVID shot, and I've got a blood clot in my arm. Can you believe that? I can't use my arm anymore. Dr. McCullough, my uncle took the COVID vaccine and had a cardiac arrest. They had to shock him in church. And then people start bringing up these vignettes.

Sage Steele (87:03)

Yes, they're desperate.

Dr. Peter McCullough (87:05)

They bring up these vignettes.

Sage Steele (87:07)

I'm going to get kicked out.

Dr. Peter McCullough (87:08)

I look at our party hosts. I said, listen, I am not bringing this up, but you cannot suppress this. So there's a religious viewpoint of that.

Sage Steele (87:17)

I'll give her credit for still remaining friends with you, because many on that side absolutely would not even say that they know you anymore.

Dr. Peter McCullough (87:26)

Well, it's interesting. So my neighbor, who keeps himself in pretty good shape, is a few years older than me. He's got this wonderful front porch, and we live in a neighborhood like yours where the house is kind of narrow and they're very quaint. And so, you know, I go outside and I run. So I work out, do weights first. I stretch, do weights and everything. Then I go run. And at that running stage, I go outside, and someone can spot me. So one time he spotted me and he goes, hey, doc, I took my seventh booster. He goes, and I'm, well, I'm well. I said, you know what?

Sage Steele (87:58)

Look at me.

Dr. Peter McCullough (87:58)

I took zero shots. I'm, well, what does that tell you? I mean, oh, I have another vignette. So when we were presenting, We've done the largest autopsy, published autopsy study of people who died after the COVID shots. We are at the American society of Microbiology, a. A formal medical meeting, about 6,000 attendees, I'm sure. Fauci goes. And all the vaccine promoters go. All the big companies were there, and we were at our poster, and we were, you know, describing these vaccine blood clots and heart damage and all these things. And people came by. This one doctor came down, came by. He's older, and he's kind of dragging his arm one side. He looked at the poster, he looked at me, and he. He goes, you know, I took five shots in this arm. He goes, I really can't raise it anymore. I went to therapy, and it just never came back. He goes, but if they come out with a booster, I'll take it over here.

Sage Steele (88:52)

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

Dr. Peter McCullough (88:55)

Yes.

Sage Steele (88:57)

This is the religion part of it.

Dr. Peter McCullough (88:59)

There's a religion to this.

Sage Steele (89:00)

That's the cult like, part of it. I mean, you can call it religious. To me, that is cult like when you are completely making a decision to ignore what is obvious. If your arm is hanging to the ground or.

Dr. Peter McCullough (89:12)

How about death? Death is the worst. So the example there is Sean Kastin. He's a Democratic member of Congress from Illinois. His daughter Gwen. He's on social media. Get the vax. It's the only way I'm getting the vax. I'm proudly getting it as soon as these come out. I can't wait to have my kids vaccinated. This is the way what have you. He does all this. His daughter was 16. Is dead a couple weeks later.

Sage Steele (89:39)

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

Dr. Peter McCullough (89:41)

Autopsy. Yeah. Fatal cardiac death.

Sage Steele (89:45)

Did he acknowledge anything?

Dr. Peter McCullough (89:46)

He comes out, he says, what I've learned from this is we just have to value our time together.

Sage Steele (89:51)

Oh, my gosh.

Dr. Peter McCullough (89:53)

Yes.

Sage Steele (89:54)

Oh, my gosh. So people, I wonder if deep down in their quiet moments, I don't know.

Dr. Peter McCullough (89:59)

But that's the reason why there's no.

Sage Steele (90:00)

They'll never acknowledge it.

Dr. Peter McCullough (90:01)

If so, there's no outrage. That's the reason why there's no outrage. Part of it is this blindness that once you've taken it, you can't possibly go back. Can you imagine if you were a parent and you were to fully recognize that, how horrible you would feel? No, no.

Sage Steele (90:16)

This is why I understand it. You don't want to go there. And then for many reasons, it is political. It is just ego of not wanting to admit that you made a mistake. Which is why that doctor from the Cleveland Clinic eight years ago, to come out and say, I'm sorry, just for flu, for saying, you know, I didn't even fully comprehend those paper inserts that talk specifically about risks. I didn't share that with you. And I can't imagine the human doctors, the ones that remain in there. I think probably more so than not. I don't want all doctors to get a bad rap because of the actions of not few, but many. That human element as to why you got into medicine in the first place has got. Has got to matter. I hope and pray it does. Okay, I have 65 other questions. I know I'm not gonna be able to get to them.

Dr. Peter McCullough (91:03)

We'll go short answers.

Sage Steele (91:05)

The childhood vaccine schedule after back and forth and up and down and changes based on, let's say, 1972, when I was born, to now 2026. Where are we?

Dr. Peter McCullough (91:17)

It's back to the biggest schedule ever. So it's right back to where it

Sage Steele (91:22)

was after they chopped off 55 of

Dr. Peter McCullough (91:24)

them, they put them back on.

Sage Steele (91:25)

When was that?

Dr. Peter McCullough (91:26)

That just happened in the last month or two. So it's back in our report. We Conclude There are 12 studies showing a healthy child born today. So it's important. Healthy children today with clean air, clean water, good nutrition, sanitation, and all of the accompaniments of modern living. So we don't have threats like we do in the past. A healthy child born today, 12 studies show, is healthier if they take no vaccines whatsoever. Mother's Day has a way of sneaking up on you, but when it does, 1-800-FLowers makes it easy to send mom something beautiful, thoughtful, and worthy of everything she does. Right now with double blooms from 1-800-FLowers. Order 1 dozen roses and get another dozen for free. It's a bigger gesture with fresh, beautiful flowers arranged to make Mother's Day feel

Sage Steele (92:22)

as special as she is.

Dr. Peter McCullough (92:23)

Make Mother's Day feel bigger with double blooms at 1-800-FLowers.com podcast. That's 1-800-FLowers.COM podcast. Because think about the Amish, the Mennonites. They don't take vaccines.

Sage Steele (92:35)

Yes.

Dr. Peter McCullough (92:36)

So that's an important point for today. So many parents will make a determination when their child is born and say, you know what, they're perfectly healthy. I'm going to go, you know, natural for a period of time. The vaccines for children are far safer if they're given individually and given later in life, not during the early critical period of development. The babies are born, they simply need to breastfeed.

Sage Steele (93:05)

Love and care.

Dr. Peter McCullough (93:06)

That's it. That's it. You get beyond age 4, it becomes far safer. And I think as kids get into their teenage years, there could be certain circumstances where you'd say, okay, they really should take a vaccine. But where I think we're going on this is to risk stratification. So in 2021 Medical association, this is the one to support. By the way, the association of American Physicians and Surgeons put out a platform in 2020 saying there should be no mandates whatsoever for any vaccine or any pharmaceutical, no matter what. Military school, employment, nothing should be mandated. Everyone should have a free choice. Where we should go is risk stratification. So from my perspective, if a child is born, they have severe pulmonary disease. They're very, very disabled. From a pulmonary perspective, maybe the respiratory vaccines there make a sense because if they did get diphtheria or they got influenza rsv, it could be fatal. But for a healthy child, the risks far outweigh the benefits. Same thing as we get to other situations. You're going to go into a military, you're going to be on a submarine and people all around you. Meningitis vaccine makes sense. A child born to parents and they're careful and they're educating their kids and they're not going to get into IV drugs and sex and what have you. These kind of IV drugs and sex vaccines which are basically the Hep B

Sage Steele (94:30)

and the at a day old that they want you to give your baby.

Dr. Peter McCullough (94:34)

And the human papillomavirus vaccines. Yeah, I think they can be deferred. I mean I just, I don't know

Sage Steele (94:40)

a lot of people. Riley Gaines, when her baby was born, she came on my show and talked about how the nurses shamed her for saying, why do I need to give my barely one day old baby the Hep B vaccine, which is, which is contracted only through sex and IV drug use. Why? And the nurse and she asked the nurse and she's like, well, look it up and you tell me. And left the room. So again, this is about education and you know that it's going to be a few years probably before your daughter or son is going to have the ability to even make a decision that could put them at that kind of risk. So absolutely, we must ask when I found this yesterday and screenshotted it and this is all stuff, you know, I'm just. This is what I think we need to keep talking about. Unvaccinated children, zero. Brain dysfunction, zero. Diabetes, zero. Behavioral problems, zero. Learning disabilities, zero. Intellectual disabilities, zero tics, zero Psychological disabilities. Vaccinated children. And the list is long. Asthma, 4.29 times higher in vaccinated children. Acute and chronic ear infections, 600% more likely with the vaccinated child. Atopic disease, autoimmune disease, neurological disorders, 300 to 616% increase in vaccinated children. ADHD, autism, behavioral disability, developmental delays. It is such a long list. And no one, this is. If you put this out there, you, all of us, there is such a huge risk of then you being deplatformed, canceled, et cetera. Which is why there's the importance of independent media and independent doctors who are doing what you are doing every single day. Can I. And then this is a separate thing. Can I share the story of I have recently because I'm still resident of the state of Florida and I recently signed up with a concierge doctor and his name is Dr. James Miller and he was in Washington state working at the exact hospital where the very first, first COVID 19 case was diagnosed and he saw that unvaccinated people just to come for, in for everyday checkups or, you know, I broke my leg, they would not treat them. So he started a free clinic in his town in Washington state to just treat every day unvaccinated people. And you talk about, I don't know if you know him, cancellation and shut down and silence. And then was. Had been doing and you know, helping with research on ivermectin and hydrochloroquine and started to administer that to some of his patients. And you talk about run. I mean, they tried to take away his medical license, you name it, he has escaped to the free state of Florida. And what he is doing for people like me and so many others like this is something I didn't think I'd have to pay separately for a concierge service where someone is actually going to listen and share and allow you to make your decision. We went to Italy just last week and Ivermectin and I called him and asked him and I got a prescription. And let me tell you about the fight. It was to actually have them fill it at CVS and Walgreens. And I got the runaround. It was, I mean, they called and said we had it. And they literally called back. You never get a human and said, well, we don't have that much one for you and your husband, but you might call this pharmacy. It was such an incredible lesson in why. Well, wait, why? And to me it's so clear and I'll shut up after this. It is if you do your homework on it. I mean, Ivermectin, hydrochloricine, but especially ivermectin. It is cheap to make that drug, right? It's so cheap. And if, if they disperse it the way that they should to help people, then Big Pharma is not going to make their money. They've got to make this difficult to get to. I have two parents right now, both of my parents dealing with different kinds of cancer.

Dr. Peter McCullough (98:47)

Oh no.

Sage Steele (98:49)

My dad, very, very long time with multiple myeloma and a metastasized prostate cancer since nine years of multiple myeloma. He's 80 years old, 14 years with prostate cancer, and my mom, papillary breast cancer. They're both in their late 70s. And this wonderful doctor is the one that told me, look up the potential of Ivermectin and what it can do for your parents. Okay, so all of that to say I'm pissed that it is such a fight, just for the information, what they did to Joe Rogan. We started to talk about ivermectin. So, okay, just on the cancer front, what are the potential helpful advantages to ivermectin and cancer?

Dr. Peter McCullough (99:34)

Well, big news. You know, when you. I just went off here tonight, I

Sage Steele (99:38)

just went crazy after years of being frustrated and afraid to say it. And I'm sorry, I had to.

Dr. Peter McCullough (99:43)

She just vented. But, you know, after facing this, you know, one of the great things come out of the pandemic is I was honored to join a group led by our founder, Foster Colson in Canada. We formed the wellness company. And the wellness company is the most exciting corporate business development that came out of the pandemic by a mile. It's a global company, it's doing incredibly well. And we broke through. Listen, you want to buy ivermectin and you want a legal prescription for it and you go through a checkpoint with the doctor, do it online, send you a huge supply of it. The medical emergency kits are fabulous. I have had two fabulous, right? So you could get Covid. But sure, you could get a bladder infection or a yeast infection. And every time I travel, my wife is a source of misadventure. And I can tell you, we have a travel kit and we've used it endless numbers of times to have things, otherwise each thing would have been tripped to the urgent care. So the wellness company is the response there. And just last week, the wellness company announced its first, first report on cancer. Super important. So we have a combination of ivermectin, membendazole. So ivermectin is an antiparasitic. Membendazole is another antiparasitic. Each separately has been studied for cancer and continues to be studied for cancer. Three mechanisms that they together exert on cancer cells, they reduce proliferation, they reduce the cancer ability to derive a blood supply, and then they cause the cancer cells to drop out and be cleared out by the system called apoptosis. This is big. And so they're in trial protocols at big centers like UCLA and Hopkins, what have you. But we offer this combination on label to treat neglected parasite infections, which you can get when you eat sushi and things like that. But people have the choice with cancer to get it through the wellness company. But we have them fill out forms and they talk to their doctors about it. We do. Everything's done the right way. And this is all FDA approved dispensing of it. This is a clinically indicated, medically necessary off label use. So we report on the first hundred or so who Go through and they have their scans every three months. This is Blockbuster. 84% of people who have cancers, and they're like your parents, they're doing all the other stuff. That 84% had a benefit. Now, about a third, they were in remission. They stayed in remission. Great. Another third basically regressed. They improved. Okay, this is tremendous. The metastases didn't go on. 16% had substantial improvement. The other remainder, about 15, 16%, it got worse. So it's a fair study. Some people do get worse, but this is very safe. About 25% had some side effects. All minor safety profiles, well known. So I've been out in the media saying, listen, this is right in the lane for Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Jay Bhattachara, do a large government prospective, double blind, randomized placebo controlled trial.

Sage Steele (102:48)

All the things that they did not do for the COVID 19 vaccine or many other vaccines.

Dr. Peter McCullough (102:52)

But in the meantime, patients with cancer are not waiting. They can go to the wellness company, go through the program. It's available to people.

Sage Steele (102:59)

Please get specific though, on these drugs with radiation, with chemotherapy. So it's in conjunction with.

Dr. Peter McCullough (103:10)

Not by itself conjunction with. And you know, the caveat is make sure your doctors know about it. The main thing to watch is we look for liver function tests. And, you know, this is very exciting.

Sage Steele (103:20)

Huge. It's huge.

Dr. Peter McCullough (103:22)

For ucla, Cedars Sinai studying ivermectin and advanced breast cancer. Hopkins is studying mebenazole in brain and spinal cord cancers. But we broadly studied it in patients who had prostate in men, those common breast in women, and then lung cancer. But it looks across all the solid organ cancers very favorable. And a lot of people say, listen, I've got cancer, you know, I don't have too much time left. Why not give it a shot?

Sage Steele (103:48)

You have to. Why not? If the percentages. And it's an actual study, not a complete biased one. Right.

Dr. Peter McCullough (103:57)

Well, it's called patient reported outcomes. So we ask patients to be honest with us. The next step is to gather all the scans and what have you and do independent adjudication. But, you know, patient reported outcomes are, in medicine are considered legit as long as people are being honest with us. And the fact that 15% of people got worse, that fits the fact that people had some side effects.

Sage Steele (104:17)

But just tell us that. Yeah, give us the pamphlet again. Just let us then make our own decision as to do we want to just stick with the traditional medicine. Fine. I understand there's fears, and for especially of a certain generation. My parents age 79 and 76. Like this is the only way that it's ever been done. And so it is. There's some discomfort in trying new things and changing, which is why so many of them went straight to get that the vaccine, the COVID 19 vaccine, right away. But just ask. And if you aren't getting, I think we know in our guts if we're not getting clear answers from our doctor, giving us both the good and the bad, leave. I want to also ask you about the prevalence of so many patients of all ages, but especially parents and pediatricians who, if you ask about the possibility of not taking this vaccine, questions you have about potential, you know, ill effects of a vaccine that you can, you'd be walked right out of a pediatrician's office or general practitioner. It depends what it is. But that is something that I hope people say, wait, if I can't ask a question question, you gotta find a new practice. But how is it okay that patients are being told to leave for saying, you know what, I'm gonna wait a couple years on this hep B vaccine for my one day old baby, and then they make you leave? What do you tell those parents?

Dr. Peter McCullough (105:44)

It's stunning. Well, you know, there are now pediatric groups, you can find them that say, listen, it's vaccine choice. It's freedom of choice. And Texas, we have medical, religious and philosophical exemptions. So you can fill out a form, you know, get it notarized, file it with the school. Never take another vaccination for school.

Sage Steele (106:02)

Yeah, yeah, don't eat it. The people from back in the day, like me, who had the private employers, you know, at the espn, the Disney, who are allowed to say, you know what, your religious exemption and your medical exemption. No, no, sorry, keep going. So that makes me happy that we're seeing more, especially in schools where parents vaccinated.

Dr. Peter McCullough (106:23)

Well, believe it or not, in Texas, do you know where the problem is for the parents? Private schools.

Sage Steele (106:27)

Really?

Dr. Peter McCullough (106:28)

There's some private schools say, no, you have to take all the vaccines. We're not following the state. But regarding the doctor's office, and this is important, I'd call ahead of time and say, listen, is there freedom here with vaccines or do you have a requirement? RFK is trying to eliminate all the pharmaceutical bonuses the doctors are getting in the pediatric office for giving shots. So once you remove all that financial incentives, the doctors may ease up and I think market demands will play out. But there was a New England Journal of Medicine vignette of an African family from Africa. I think they were in Boston and they already had one child with autism after the vaccines and they had the next child coming up. And by the way, a sibling with autism is a risk that the next one will get it right.

Sage Steele (107:12)

Okay?

Dr. Peter McCullough (107:13)

And so this child had every other vaccine. So it's not like they rejected vaccines. And they came up for the issue of the MMR vaccine and they talked with the doctor and said, listen, our first child, that didn't turn out too good. Can we pass on this? The question in the vignette is, as a doctor, would you throw this person out of your practice? You know what the answer was? Over a third of the time, the doctor said, yeah, kick them out. Kick them out. Whether it's a birthday trip, a family reunion, or just a fun getaway, booking a verbo vacation rental means no worrying about surprises. VRBoCare and 247 Life Support have your back if something's off. The loved by guest filter helps you find top rated homes. And verified reviews mean real feedback from real VRBO guests. So you know exactly what you're booking.

Sage Steele (107:59)

Honestly, I just booked my VRBO because there was a sweet wine fridge.

Dr. Peter McCullough (108:02)

Hey, we all have our reasons. Don't walk into a surprise if you know you VRBO terms apply. See vrbo.com trust for details. This is stunning. I mean, imagine having a concern like this and this family was not rejecting vaccines. They had a very legitimate concern.

Sage Steele (108:21)

What's the oath you take as doctors? You know, I mean, just in your soul when, when I presume the whole point of it is because you have a compassion to help others. Where did that go?

Dr. Peter McCullough (108:38)

Not when it comes to vaccines. This is a deep. This is a 300 year.

Sage Steele (108:42)

Is that how they rationalize it? Because it's over here.

Dr. Peter McCullough (108:45)

Yes. Vaccines, everything is different. But vaccines, it's a deeply held religious belief. Remember, a lot of doctors are very distant from vaccines. I personally have never ordered one, I've never administered one. We don't really have any classes on vaccines because it's a government schedule. It's a government schedule. The nurses and pharmacists give it. So for many doctors, eye surgeons, orthopedics, medical specialists, vaccination is far away from what we do. It's in the background. And I think that's part of the problem.

Sage Steele (109:12)

Do you feel like the information is being dispersed and is accessible? More accessible now, I guess, than in 2020, 2021. Right. But how much further do we need to go?

Dr. Peter McCullough (109:23)

Not to the doctors. Listen, you take any major medical journal and you say, you know, I want to find out about the Major fatal side effects of vaccines. Can't find it. You have to really search obscure journals,

Sage Steele (109:37)

the mainline, which is why, you know, but what do people do now? They diagnose themselves online and non AI and so if, if and you can really test AI and you can put certain things in and it's amazing what does and does not come up. So the fact that you have to keep digging for it and just following people like you, you know, it's fascinating because obviously you became, you know, more famous to those of us peasants over the last several years with, with vaccines and, and being. How many times were you on Fox News?

Dr. Peter McCullough (110:09)

Have you been on Fox News? I think I was on hundreds of times. You know, I was a freak. I still am a frequent contributor on the Ingram Angle. Yeah, I go on with Liz McDonald on Fox Business. I've been on Tucker Carlson's long show, his, his main news program when he's on the news.

Sage Steele (110:23)

Newsmax.

Dr. Peter McCullough (110:24)

Sean Hanley, Newsmax yeah, let me ask you a question.

Sage Steele (110:28)

CNN never, never once, not once. MSNBC never.

Dr. Peter McCullough (110:34)

I'm the first person to publish a peer reviewed protocol on how to treat COVID 19 at home to prevent hospitalization and death. I'm the first to discover how to handle problems from the vaccine and from long Covid handling the spike detoxification. We formed a company, the wellness Company over this. No invitation to even review this. This is a major advancement.

Sage Steele (110:58)

What does that tell you?

Dr. Peter McCullough (110:59)

It's a major advancement? Well, you know, Tucker Carlson came out and said, you know, if a company has an advertising contract with the station, let's say Pfizer and they're promoting the Pfizer products, they grab control over the entire content. That station will never have a program on side effects of any drug in the same class as these reports.

Sage Steele (111:25)

Those dollars are right there as well. Absolutely captured. Well keep that in mind ladies and gentlemen as well. Last question, detailed question about the vaccines is vaccine injuries. If you believe you have been vaccine injured, what do you do at this

Dr. Peter McCullough (111:46)

point in time, doctors still should report this to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, vaers. You can report it in independently. I reported patients this week, as you know, almost every week in my practice, more patients come in. The first few pages are who you are, who's the doctor, where's the office, where were you hospitalized, what happened, what vaccine doses did you take, what have you. So when these submissions go to the cdc, these VAERS submissions, they have everything. There's no excuses. So when the CDC says well, we're not sure if they're Correlated or not, they could have called, they could have gotten the records. They can investigate. So VAERS has accumulated. You'll be shocked with this.

Sage Steele (112:30)

Tell your doctor.

Dr. Peter McCullough (112:31)

Yeah, tell your doctor. Report it to Vaers. And what most patients are going to do is following their peer reviewed literature, they're going to go to the wellness company and they're going to get the ultimate spike detox. The ultimate spike detox is high dose medicinal grade nattokinase, bromelain, curcumin, four minor ingredients. The nattokinase and bromelain have been shown in preclinical studies and we have clinical studies now to confirm this. By correlates, it dissolves the spike protein that's getting stuck in the body.

Sage Steele (113:03)

So you have to. So I got the JJ, the one and done shot in September of 2021 and then in order to stay employed at ESPN and Disney, I had to get one booster shot before then my lawsuit ended, et cetera. So that was now six years ago. Excuse me, four years ago.

Dr. Peter McCullough (113:24)

Four years ago, you'd like to think this is out of your body. Don't forget J and J is making a massive amount of this spike protein. Massive. So the amount you get with the vaccine is maybe 10 to 100 fold what you get with the virus. So you are loaded with this stuff.

Sage Steele (113:39)

So is it still in me?

Dr. Peter McCullough (113:41)

We don't know. But there's a test you can do to find out. So if you go to LabCorp labs on demand and you can do this yourself. Labcorp by the way, opened this up to the public because the doctors wouldn't order this. So LabCorp is a major lab company. They know this is important. So go to labcorp.com, labsondemand, click infectious diseases and immunity and click on Covid antibody test. Pay $69, get a user ID and password, pay for it and you'll pick the lab carp office. Go in there and get your test, okay? The next day you'll get the result and you'll get a number. And the number is the antibodies against the spike protein from the infection and from the vaccine. Now for sure you're loaded from the vaccine and you may have had the infection as well if you have antibodies.

Sage Steele (114:28)

Well, I got the infection like a doozy. Two weeks after I got the vaccine, I was on my you know what.

Dr. Peter McCullough (114:36)

So that told the vaccine didn't work great. So when you have antibodies against the ball, that's called nucleocapsid antibodies. They should be positive in you, but you're going to be interested in how high the antibodies are against the spike protein. So before the pandemic, all of us on this numerical scale were less than 0.8. We'd never been exposed to it. Now, the average person who gets the infection, like my wife, who's perfectly fine, her number came out 400. My co author, John Leake, 600. That's fine. Anything less than 1,000 means you've had immunologic exposure to it, but it's not in the human body. Our research suggests when the number against the spike protein gets to over 5,000 units per milliliter, we're finding spike protein in the bloodstream, meaning it still can cause blood clots, disease and problems. 10,000, 15,000, 25,000. We see cardiac arrests, heart failure, cancer, all kinds of problems. So everybody should get a spike antibody test in research. Now, we're now going to be directly measuring the spike itself. So my patients have access to this, will be able to directly measure the spike. But the point is, if you're below a thousand, I don't think you need to do anything. If you're above a thousand, which I was, by the way, just from getting the infection, I went on the Ultimates by detox. And you take this, you know, on the labels, two capsules twice a day on an empty stomach. So if you go to TWC Health, my promo code is focal points. Do you have a promo code or. Probably not, huh?

Sage Steele (116:10)

Yeah.

Dr. Peter McCullough (116:11)

Actually, what's your sage?

Sage Steele (116:12)

I think it's just sage.

Dr. Peter McCullough (116:13)

Yeah. Go to TWC Health, promo code, sage. Support this show and you get the ultimate spite detox. Two capsules twice a day on an empty stomach. I think an ideal time to take any one of you adults who get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, your stomach's empty, take a couple before you go back to bed, take another couple when you get up in the morning. That's what I did. And this will slowly allow the body to get rid of the spike protein. It takes about a year. Another tip and a good way to get rid of spike protein and get rid of the messenger RNA vaccine. So your JJ vaccine, that should be out of your body, but if you took Pfizer and Moderna, that still could be in your body. The messenger rna, another great way to get rid of it. And you're going to love this because you're who you are, is sweating. So I think that's the reason why ultimately, the athletes, after the initial risk of sudden death that we saw in Europe, the athletes, by the way, if you Notice have done great. I think they've sweated all of this spike protein out of them and all of the messenger RNA out of them.

Sage Steele (117:09)

I have a lot of regrets about not asking enough questions then a ton of regrets about not asking enough questions when my kids were babies starting in 2002, 2, 4 and 6. And you do what you think is best at that moment. Now we have the education. But I regret and I fear that you've done so much. You are changing lives every single day. And I think there's millions of us who are so grateful for you and what you're doing. What regrets do you have?

Dr. Peter McCullough (117:44)

I had a chance to testify in the US Senate November 19th of 2020. This is before the vaccines come out. And I had previously published an op ed in the Hill in August of 2020 and the title of that op ed and just myself and Scott Atlas were chosen to write there as doctors to inform our government what's going on. I had written an op ed called the Great gamble of the COVID 19 vaccine development program. I thought it was a gamble to do this. The genetic code for the lethal part of a virus, to inject that into people and give a free run of this fatal protein in people's body was reckless. Maybe people fit and strong like you could take it, but can you imagine grandmothers and grandfathers, people with genetic clotting disorders or weakened hearts? I had one patient who took the vaccine. He had a. He literally had a cardiac arrest in a matter of hours, needed a heart transplant. So it was a disaster to propose this. And under oath, at the very end of my session, which was about early treatment, a press release was presented to us and it was Pfizer's press release. And it said, do any of the panelists have any reservations regarding the COVID vaccine? And I was muzzled in an N95 mask in an empty US Senate chamber. And I stayed quiet. That's my regret. I should have pulled off that mask and said, I have concerns. I think these vaccines are not going to be safe and I don't think they're going to work. It was in the back of my mind, but I didn't have the courage to. In the run up to this vaccine, there was so much tension around this vaccine. We didn't know if it was going to work or not work. We all hoped it was going to work. Every person wanted to think that this was going to work. The entire media, the entire world was praying this was going to work. But it was a colossal failure. And if I'VE learned anything is not to be afraid of predicting failure. You can always couch things, but I should have leveled with America and I didn't.

Sage Steele (119:44)

Is that why you've done it to this level? And it's cost you a lot. Probably not just financially, in other ways with personal relationships. But it sounds like you've never forgotten that feeling of not having the courage to do what was right in that

Dr. Peter McCullough (120:03)

moment and the symbolism of just being absolutely muzzled. And there was so much going on. I mean, I was presenting the first version of the McCullough Protocol. We were breaking the news to America that we could treat Covid to reduce hospitalization and death. And it didn't depend on any single drug. It was using drugs in combination. It was published in a very good journal, American Journal of Medicine. And there was so much tension. And that hearing after, I couldn't sleep the night before and afterwards I felt there was so much adrenaline in my, my body. The next day I just was astounded. What happened? The minority witness who went up against myself and my panelists was Ashish Jha, who is the dean of Public health at Brown University, who became Biden's White House coronavirus coordinator. He had a pre written op ed that was published in the New York Times about me and my panelists, Harvey Rish and George Fareed calling us snake oil salesmen now. I'm the most published person in my field in the world, in history in terms of COVID now and COVID vaccine safety. I am the world's authority. I've published more on this. I've given more analyses, more presentation. Can you believe that someone at my stature was called a snake oil salesman in the New York Times and then the LA Times? I was called a quack. And it kept going and going wide open. Defamation at someone at my level, full professor of medicine. It was beyond belief. I couldn't believe what was going on. So over time, as the data emerged and the vaccines were clearly unsafe and they were not working, I was careful. I cited the data. I've published the best I can under oath. I answered questions in the Texas Senate. Later on, I suffered professional reprisal for my official testimony under oath. And this should be a real warning to anybody who's a nurse, a doctor, a public media figure, an engineer. Anyone called under oath to serve the country based on their responses to the best of their ability can suffer tremendous professional reprisals.

Sage Steele (122:20)

These are. I am so honored and so excited to read these. Have you ever talked to Anthony Fauci?

Dr. Peter McCullough (122:28)

He's Been invited to every one of my U.S. senate testimony. And then in my House testimony, he requested closed doors one day ahead of me. So I testified the next day and he was already done and I was in. He's never faced me in the US and he's supposed to. And by the way, the last time I testified in May of 2025, and this was about heart damage. And we've produced an official government report, this Homeland Security, Government affairs, the permanent subcommittee for investigations, a permanent report. Even in that hearing, guess who's a no show? Robert F. Kennedy. What is he having going on that's so important? Why that we have a Senate hearing on a vaccine side effect and he doesn't show up. Wow, this is mind boggling.

This is what he ran on when he was running against Trump and then alongside Trump. What would you say to Anthony Fauci right now, today?

Dr. Peter McCullough (123:27)

I would say that a man who seeks 10 years of clemency, which he did by the way, to get a pardon, it's not handed out without a request. He approached Biden for 10 years pardon for crimes he knew he committed. He knew he committed. That's the reason why he asked for clemency. I would tell him, listen, the world understands that Fauci has committed two crimes. One is fraudulent concealment. He intentionally concealed the origins of SARS COV2 from his funded projects in Wuhan. This fraudulent concealment, if we would have known what the story was originally, I think we could have done better in our pandemic response. And the second major crime I think he committed is mass negligent homicide by two mechanisms. Two mechanisms. First, he worked to suppress our efforts at publishing and promulgating early treatment protocols which worked to get people through the illness. And secondly, he relentlessly promoted unsafe vaccines that took hundreds of thousands of American lives and millions of lives worldwide. It's been the greatest biological catastrophe mankind has ever seen. And largely Fauci is responsible for orchestrating this on the world.

And what would you say to RFK Jr.

Dr. Peter McCullough (124:55)

I tell him I understand because I've talked to him about it. I understand this idea that when you're in office you have a reporting relationship, in his case, to the President, he's one of 15 cabinet members and that he serves at the pleasure of the President. But there are some things in life that are so important that we cannot have the President make the call. And when it comes to vaccine safety, it's, it's not the President's call. And I'll just say it's more simply if I was the Secretary of Health and Human Services, I'd tell him, listen, I'm pulling the COVID vaccines off the market. I'm doing it. It's not your call. Too bad. Too bad. It's the call. Particularly now. Kennedy may not feel empowered to do that because he's not a doctor, but I would say, listen, I'm a doctor with medical authority. I have the authority from a medical perspective to do this, and I'm going to do it. Kennedy has the legal authority to do it and Marty Macri under him and fda, and they won't do it. In fact, they didn't even talk about the vaccines or even show up to a hearing. So they are in line with the president and it really doesn't matter because myself and you and so many others, we ended this vaccine campaign. No one's taking these shots. The public knows. This recent mass music survey shows 56% of Americans know the vaccines have caused large such numbers of deaths. They've got nowhere to hide.
