By law, you would not be able to release the Pfizer or Moderna shots.
So everything happened to hydroxychloroquine. So starting the middle of March 2020, you were... I mean, it was like poison. You know, people were scared, people were rejected. Specific policies that I know you wouldn't know, CVS, the chain pharmaceuticals were instructing their pharmacists not to prescribe it.
Like if a patient came in, the pharmacist would get a red box flashing on their screen to double, triple, quadruple check hydroxychloroquine safety. So pharmacists at the drugstore were being empowered to interfere with the practice of medicine, which in America is illegal. In America, pharmacists is only allowed to dispense and to clarify mistakes or dosage, some kind of error.
So they can clarify. They're specifically by law not allowed to interfere with the doctor's decision. All day long, that's all they did. So if you found yourself a doctor who would prescribe it, the pharmacist blocked it. The hatred on hydroxychloroquine was huge. The World Health Organization was... came out, it was unbelievable. This is when I really learned how bad the science was.
I'm sure you're familiar with the Lancet article that was retracted, or maybe not, we have different worlds. Lay it out. So, Lancet is one of the three most famous medical journals in the world, and so if you say you're published in the Lancet, that is just career. JAMA and British Medical Journal? I would say, yeah, I would say those are the exact, or New England Journal of Medicine. Yeah, right.
And then maybe JAMA would be fourth. But it's like number one, number two in the world. You don't get published in JAMA by accident. It's utterly impossible. There's committees. It's very hard. It's very hard.
Years, and you have to be, you're coming from a prestigious university, and there's a team of people. So I just want to be crystal clear, you cannot be published by accident in The Lancet. You have a team of researchers, you have a team of researchers who are approving it, you have an editorial board that's doing it.
Totally. You got published in The Lancet, you could then go off and be a professor, associate professor, etc., So this Lancet article comes out saying that hydroxychloroquine was unsafe and ineffective for COVID. And the headlines from this Lancet study went all around the world.
Everybody who was paying attention at the time read that study and all of a sudden it was considered poison and terrible and awful. But independent researchers looked at the study and cried foul. It didn't make sense. The numbers of people they had in the study were in the tens of thousands. I think they said they had 60 or 70,000 people in the study. I'm not certain of the number.
It crossed like five continents, hundreds of hospitals, and everyone's scratching their heads. They're like, how did we not hear about this study? And how did they compile data from all over these geographic locations and different languages and different countries like so rapidly? So the independent physicians who became America's frontline doctors raised their hands, published online.
They said, this doesn't make sense. And they complained. And so the Lancet got a little embarrassed. The Lancet goes to the authors and they said, show us the data, show us the proof. They could not prove it was authentic. They had no way to prove it. And the Lancet had to publish a retraction. I think it was only about three weeks. So kudos to the independent doctors who called foul.
The Lancet had to retract it. I've never in my career seen that. where the Lancet retracted. It never happened. Now, do you think that the headlines from its retraction made worldwide news? They did not. Let me tell you what happened from the original Lancet study. The World Health Organization and studies all across the world on hydroxychloroquine's effectiveness in COVID were halted.
They said, oh, you've got to stop doing them. It's very dangerous, ineffective. It was almost impossible to restart those studies again. It interfered. And the other thing is that the damage was done. The reputational damage to hydroxychloroquine was complete forevermore to this day. People think it's unsafe. And that was what it was. And I witnessed this in real time. I'm watching it.
Well, I was the most, just on a personal level, I couldn't believe that my peers, who were more than capable of learning all of this, was no more sophisticated than they were, were not...
they were not paying any attention and they simply followed the headline du jour that's it oh today when the ee way for hydroxy was authorized oh we can use it today and again i said to my peers what changed today and they'll literally quote facebook or a press conference and so i learned that doctors were not curious and i didn't understand why patients are paying most doctors because you could get this stuff right off of google right off a committee hearing
And it was very demoralizing. The good part about the internet was I found many, many other independent doctors online.
And we all came together and we said, we've got to like speak up about this. This is just terrible. We didn't know how because we were very censored. Anybody who put anything about hydroxychloroquine, like if you had the word hydroxychloroquine in a tweet, you were taken out. So you'd find creative ways of writing. You'd write initials, like people would get it, but you couldn't do it.
It was worse on Facebook than even Twitter. It was everywhere. But we all had like a burning passion to say the truth, the independent doctors. So we found each other. And I would say maybe there was 100 that we found just all over. Just people who just like me could not be silenced, couldn't stand it. And so I said, you know, we've got to speak to the American people.
And I also know America is the world. And so I just started reaching out to people and I started doing interviews. And started getting my reputation attacked. And then I decided, you know what? I'm going to do something that was just going to put doctors in front of the world.
I said, let's stand in front of the Supreme Court because actually it was supposed to be the Capitol, but there was, it couldn't. So we weren't in front of the Supreme Court. And I said, let me just bring YouTube influencers. That's what I called social media influencers. I said, let's bring some YouTube influencers and doctors. And we're just going to stand there. Who'd you bring?
