Why did Dr. Fauci invoke the Fifth Amendment during the Senate hearing?

Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:00
All right, I was thrown together with Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Jeffrey Tucker as a result of the pandemic, and in particular because of Dr. Fauci. And today he was questioned in front of a Senate committee and invoked the Fifth Amendment something like 111 times. The hearing was led by Dr. Rand Paul, Senator Ron Paul. And the question is, one of the questions that remains is, does he have... the ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment when there is no opportunities to... What's the word I'm looking for where you say something that makes you look guilty? He has full immunity in all things. So other than contempt, which he seems to have already... put himself in sort of the possibility of contempt.

It's hard to know why he used the Fifth Amendment, but it was under the advice of counsel. And Dr. McCullough, of course, is a cardiologist, a decorated physician, chief scientific officer at the Wellness Company. You can find him on X is P underscore McCullough, M-D-C-U-L-L-O-U-G-H. And Jeffrey Tucker from the Brownstone Institute, he too is someone who has been suffering mightily During and since this COVID debacle, as Kelly Victor likes to call it. And Fauci's diary is something that interests him greatly. And he and I were just talking about tragic opera in the preamble up to this show. And in fact, he has used the term tragedy and catharsis in relation to the testimony today. We'll see why he's feeling that way after this.

Our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre. The psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for f***'s sake. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.

So follow Dr. McCullough on XSSP underscore McCulloughMD. The substack is the focal points, the focalpoints.com. PeterMcCulloughMD.com is the website. And we've mentioned the books. And Dr. McCullough, it warrants going back, you know, this thing we all witnessed today, which was sort of extraordinary, but it warrants going back in history. And I wonder if you would talk a little bit about who you were as we went into the pandemic and what, the idiot politicians as Senator Moreno referred to them. What their idiot politician policy was were because of Dr. Fauci and what that did to your career.
Dr. Peter McCullough 3:24
Yeah, I was a full professor of medicine at a major medical center, one of the most published people in my field in the world, editor of an inaugural textbook, co-editor and editor of two major journals. And someone who, through the course of my training, we revered Dr. Fauci. Fauci played a big role in the whole development of virology and HIV and infectious diseases. And he published in some big textbooks as I did. But as the pandemic rolled out, we realized quickly that somehow the government was getting some very bad advice. It turns out it was coming from Fauci. He was undermining others on the White House task force, including one of my medical school graduates, Brett Gerard from UT Southwestern in Dallas.
Dr. Peter McCullough 4:13
Brett Gerard was in charge of testing. He's trying to do the best job he can. We found out that Fauci was undermining him. And then Fauci casts This entire spell over the country, essentially, bad advice from social distancing, lockdown, no early treatment protocols, never called together an early treatment panel, never worked to review and improve in-hospital care, and then this relentless push for COVID-19 vaccination.
