Dr. McCullough: Outpatient Treatments for COVID-19 Have Been Suppressed


Dr. Peter McCullough told The Epoch Times that the public should question why the governments and public health officials around the world have put little to no emphasis on outpatient treatments in their efforts to fight the COVID-19 virus, instead promoting a massive effort on vaccines.

“Lots of messaging on the vaccine, but zero mentioning on treatment, none. And it’s been from the very beginning. There is a theme here, I hope everyone’s starting to get the theme. There is zero effort, interest, promotion, or care about early treatment, people who are sick with COVID-19,” said McCullough. “But there is a complete and total focus on people who don’t have COVID-19 and giving them a vaccine.”

McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and lead author of the first paper on early COVID-19 outpatient treatment involving a multi-drug regimen. In a recent interview with EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program, he discussed a wide range of evidence on COVID-19 preventative treatments that are being used around the world.

He said that drug treatments must be prioritized in the effort to stamp out the threat of COVID-19. “So early treatment markedly changes spreads. So, we reduce new cases, we reduce the intensity and severity and duration of symptoms. And by that mechanism, we reduce hospitalization and death.”

The doctor cited some recent treatments that have been effective in killing the virus at the early stage of infection: Dr. Iqbal Mahmud Chowdhury conducted a protocol in Bangladesh that used a povidone-iodine rinse in the nose and eyes to kill the virus. Another treatment effort by a French doctor, Didier Raoult, who treated people using hydroxychloroquine, met with great success.

“Chowdhury is the first author recognizing the fact that the virus is in the air, people breathe it in, it settles in the nose, and it begins to replicate. And it has to get to a certain threshold and overcome the other organisms in the nose and overcome our own immune system to become a clinical infection. So, there’s about a three-to-five-day window to actually zap the virus directly.”

Masks and hand sanitizer are illogical and the data does not show them to be effective means to prevent COVID-19 infections because the virus is spread through the air, not hands, and is too small to be blocked by most masks said, McCullough.





In the United States, hydroxychloroquine can only be used in hospitals.

McCullough detailed the events that led to these restrictions, saying that for one, “there was a falsified paper published in Lancet … which claimed to have tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19, hospitalized at multiple centers around the world, in their 40s, hospitalized with COVID-19.” He said the supposed study was not verified and claimed the drug had negative health effects.

This “false” study led to medical professionals losing confidence in the drug and after which, “hospital messaging started to say, listen, don’t use hydroxychloroquine.

“The NIH pulled the program on a fully-funded trial in the midst of our initial wave of COVID-19. And then, shortly after that, the FDA put out a statement: hydroxychloroquine should not be used across the board, period.

Rodent Trigger Alert “The next drug up on the block was Ivermectin.”

The Epoch Times reached out to the NIH to ask what they thought of Dr. McCullough’s criticism of the NIH’s COVID-19 treatment guidelines. The NIH spokesperson declined to comment. She said that the NIH relied on a panel of many experts to develop the COVID-19 treatment guidelines.

The FDA told The Epoch Times they are committed “to speed patient access to medicines to prevent or treat COVID-19 provided they meet the agency’s rigorous standards,” but that they believe the vaccines are the best way to prevent the disease and hospitalization.

McCullough says along with anti-hydroxychloroquine messaging, the drug Ivermectin was also maligned after that the American Medical Association gave an opinion against it.

“So, Americans saw the most confusing picture of hospitalized care of COVID-19 and a very confusing picture of outpatient treatment of COVID-19. My contributions, at least I tried to organize the outpatient treatment into concepts, where we would use drugs … in the middle phase treat inflammation, and in the late phase treat blood clotting; and we stuck with those principles all the way through,” said McCullough.

McCullough said it’s highly unusual for hospitals to not conduct trials on treatments for a disease, but with COVID-19 no major trials have been done to improve treatments and there have been no outcomes publicized by hospitals.

McCullough said improving treatments for those who are sick with COVID-19 has never been a priority for those in charge of public health because vaccines have been pushed from day one. He remembers how CVS pharmacies were advertising the vaccines even before they were fully authorized.

CVS confirmed to The Epoch Times that they were advertising the vaccines in October 2020.

He said the U.S. media has almost completely blocked out what is going on around the world with treatments for COVID. “Anywhere where there has been an early oral drug approach there has been success in terms of COVID-19. And now more recently, it was very fascinating, is anywhere where there’s any attention to decontamination in the nose and the mouth with direct by virucidal therapy. There have been stunning results.”

He questions why the United States has not reviewed the work being done around the world to treat the disease.McCullough says those leading U.S. public health agencies are incompetent.

McCullough suggests that there be a monthly review of new therapies used to treat COVID both at a national and global level, for doctors to review and learn from peers. “The idea that there’s no review, you’d think there would be the World Health Organization would actually assign a task force. This is the biggest public health problem, a monthly review of promising therapies.”

“So the treatment, inpatient and outpatient, of the biggest illness of our time, after two years, is an enigma.”

In before the ad hominem attacks and character assassinations by the usual suspects...tic, tic, tic

If they admit there are valid outpatient treatments, then they can't have an EAU for the jab.  I have no idea why the powers that be want the only solution to be the jab, but it's been pretty obvious for a while.

I believe the largest comorbidity for covid is being overweight....in the 2 years we've been dealing with this people could have made a lot of progress in that.  For some reason you never saw guidance from Fauci or the CDC or anyone else to stop eating like a pig and get off your fat ass and take a walk.

masks are disease vectors.  People are always touching their masks with unwashed hands, throwing them down on tables, desks, or seats that can be contaminated, they reuse them for days.  Truly they do more harm than good.

All of this. There is a reason they want this shit in everyone, and it's not to stop a pandemic.

In before "he dosn't know what he's talking about".

Well said.

For the most part the entire medical community has failed miserably in all this. Doctors have hurt themselves and the trust given to them by the public possibly forever. Whatever you think of vaccines, the mere idea there's nothing that can be done if you get it other than wait and see if you need to be ventilated is appalling. The control on monoclonals is downright evil as even the Fauci's know they work.

Once again proving when the shit hits the fan you had better be prepared to take care of yourself cause the government don't give a damn about you.  

Go home and die, as quietly as possible.   That is the government's feelings on the matter.

Follow the money.

That's a huge part of it but control is the main goal. Mail-in voting alone is the brass-ring the dems have justified to give themselves more power.

Literally criminal

Absolutely agree.  Following the money is about figuring out who is really running things.

Remember the Golden Rule:  He who has the gold, makes the rules.

I know it’s a dumb argument, but it amused me.  

I brought this exact article up with a liberal family member.  Yes, this isn’t the first time it’s been brought up.  

So their argument was, well the US has the best medical care (etc), something I agree with most of the time.  Despite current conditions.  

Just for hilarity I said, “well the other countries’ BIPOC medical doctors and BIPOC scientists think it’s effective.”   “Do you think they are too stupid to know any better.”

There really isn’t a good way out of it for the liberal mind.  

Like I said.  It’s dumb but funny.

I got over it on Tylenol and anger.


I was not offered any out patient care.

And by "suppressed" he means he can't convince any credible journal to publish his wrong claims.

I am curious. Do you believe you?

There aren't many options. Monoclonals and now paxlovid and molnupiravir. All of them have risks, and all of them are in short supply. If you were judged high risk these would be considerations otherwise it's better to save the supply for others, and probably not in your interests to take the risks they create.

They're not going to offer you treatments that didn't work in randomized control trials, which is the quacked out thing McCullough wants, but that's loopy.

I've been trying to watch the Rogan interview on Rumble, but it keeps freezing at a little over 20 minutes.

I can watch other Rumble streams with no issue.

No, he/they don't. The mission is to peddle the narrative no matter how ridiculous the claim. He/they know the harmful sketchy experimental gene therapy shots have been bad from the beginning. He/they also know that proven treatments have been known since the beginning. He/they have to keep peddling the narrative. Otherwise, he/they have no purpose for being here.

There are treatments that have been proven by not only RCTs but also by retrospective studies with hundreds of thousands of patients. McCullough knows this as do you. You just have to keep peddling the narrative no matter how spectacularly ridiculous the failure has been.

Oh...Looked who showed up.

You mean those things that have worked in a variety of countries elsewhere in the world, namely Japan and India.   Both of these countries flatlined major spikes of Delta when they implemented drug cocktails which included Ivermectin.  You mean those kind of "quacked out" ideas?

I haven't seen any actual evidence they work, only a bunch of nonsense that isn't evidence being passed around by people who don't seem to understand what evidence is.

I haven't seen any evidence that you're not a vax shilling plant on this forum. You claim to have come here for the EE and decided to stick around to educate us with your vast knowledge of vaccine effectiveness. Can you link to a peer reviewed study showing that is true?

I'd be impressed with some gun pictures with todays date....pretty sure that request has been ignored multiple times as well.

Do you always just post personal attacks, or do you sometimes also share reasons for the things you think?

Got any actual comment on the point?

Maybe if you participated in gun threads yourself you would have already seen them?

(Check in GD on the 22lr threads and the SIG v Glock thread over the last couple days where I posted pictures.)

Look in the mirror if you want to see someone who doesn't understand what evidence is. What is evidence is actual data showing treatments work and the harmful experimental gene therapy shots don't.

At least he thinks. You, not so much.

I think evidence is rigorous peer reviewed studies published in the world's top scientific journals by multiple research teams from multiple countries, using different approaches and all coming to similar conclusions.
