Dr. Peter McCullough | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #647

TL;DR

Dr. Peter McCullough argues COVID-19 was a planned pandemic by a bio-pharmaceutical cartel, mRNA vaccines are dangerous and undisclosed, and medical institutions are suppressing evidence of vaccine injuries.

Key Points

• 1.McCullough developed the first COVID outpatient treatment protocol. Published in the American Journal of Medicine in 2020, the McCullough Protocol used hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, corticosteroids, and anti-thrombotics to prevent hospitalization and death in high-risk patients.
• 2.He testified before the US Senate on November 19, 2020. His early treatment protocol became adopted by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons as standard of care for high-risk outpatient COVID management.
• 3.Ivermectin was the clear winner among early treatment antivirals. McCullough ranked it above hydroxychloroquine and Paxlovid across the three years of the pandemic based on clinical outcomes.
• 4.CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) was founded in 2017 by the WEF and Bill Gates. Its business plan explicitly anticipated a series of pandemics with mass vaccination as the only solution, positioning itself as a vaccine incubator.
• 5.Event 201 in November 2019 was a Johns Hopkins/Gates Foundation simulation of a coronavirus pandemic. Chinese CDC director George Gao attended alongside Avril Haines, who later became Biden's Director of National Intelligence.
• 6.The SPARS Pandemic planning seminar in 2017 predicted a coronavirus pandemic around 2025. Held at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, funded by Gates Foundation, it predated COVID-19's actual 2019 emergence by two years.
• 7.Papers published in 2015–2016 described primordial SARS-CoV-2. First author Menachery published in Nature Communications and PNAS describing 'a SARS-like CoV WIV1 virus poised for human emergence,' crediting Wuhan Institute of Virology collaboration.
• 8.Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill engineered the virus by adding a bat spike protein to a human coronavirus. Peter Daszak at EcoHealth Alliance funneled US federal funding to Wuhan for this gain-of-function research, which was grandfathered past Obama's ban.
• 9.Fauci knew the lab origin but publicly supported the natural spillover narrative. When WHO investigated, they rejected Trump's three nominated US scientists and accepted Peter Daszak — who had personally shuttled research plans to Wuhan — to lead the inquiry.
• 10.mRNA vaccines were the first genetic vaccines ever used in humans. Prior to 2020, mRNA vaccines had never received regulatory approval or widespread use; McCullough published an op-ed in The Hill in August 2020 calling the program 'The Great Gamble' before rollout.
• 11.Karikó and Weissman's Nobel Prize-winning discovery made mRNA indestructible in the human body. Replacing all uridine bases with synthetic pseudouridine prevented human enzymes from breaking down the vaccine's genetic code, leaving it circulating indefinitely.
• 12.A Dallas patient still had Pfizer spike protein circulating 3.6 years after vaccination. Steve Kempen, confirmed via skin biopsies and blood tests by a German lab, is the sentinel case published by McCullough Foundation showing persistent vaccine-derived spike protein.
• 13.The Biden administration spent $1 billion on Long COVID research without investigating spike protein. McCullough argues spike protein — from both infection and vaccination — is the cause of Long COVID, yet no major medical institution is studying vaccine-related spike persistence.
• 14.Over 3,000 biolabs exist globally with hundreds of documented leaks. A Galveston, Texas BSL-4 lab reported three containment incidents in 2024 involving Chapare hemorrhagic fever virus and anthrax; no state has conducted a full inventory of university-based biolabs.
• 15.DARPA's ADEPT P3 program in 2012 aimed to deploy mRNA vaccines within 60 days of any pandemic threat. McCullough contends this military program demonstrates mRNA technology was a pre-planned pandemic countermeasure, not an emergency improvisation.
