1 00:00:09,093 --> 00:00:11,973 Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast from news talks it B. 2 00:00:12,373 --> 00:00:16,173 Speaker 1: Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:16,693 --> 00:00:19,733 Speaker 1: It's time for all the attitude, all the opinion, all 4 00:00:19,773 --> 00:00:24,813 Speaker 1: the information, all the debates of the now, the Leyton 5 00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:27,653 Speaker 1: Smith Podcast powered by news talks it B. 6 00:00:28,093 --> 00:00:31,693 Speaker 2: Welcome to podcasts two eighty four for May fourteen, twenty 7 00:00:31,773 --> 00:00:38,653 Speaker 2: twenty five. Deceits, corruption, blackmail, threats, cowardice, dismissal, just a 8 00:00:38,653 --> 00:00:42,173 Speaker 2: few words to indicate how the world works. One such 9 00:00:42,253 --> 00:00:46,813 Speaker 2: example concerns doctor Pierre Corey, who was in the thick 10 00:00:46,853 --> 00:00:50,653 Speaker 2: of it for four years or longer, but still not 11 00:00:50,933 --> 00:00:53,333 Speaker 2: entirely free of it. I quote you a few lines 12 00:00:53,373 --> 00:00:56,693 Speaker 2: from his book The War on iver Mecdon. I soon 13 00:00:56,733 --> 00:00:59,293 Speaker 2: discovered that the corruption and deceit was hardly limited to 14 00:00:59,373 --> 00:01:03,933 Speaker 2: the pharmaceutical space. The entire medical industrial complex, including our 15 00:01:04,013 --> 00:01:09,333 Speaker 2: governmental and international regulatory agencies, big farmer, public and private 16 00:01:09,373 --> 00:01:14,053 Speaker 2: healthcare systems and hospital networks, medical schools and their journals 17 00:01:14,253 --> 00:01:17,773 Speaker 2: had been collectively captured. Now to say that per Cory 18 00:01:17,853 --> 00:01:21,773 Speaker 2: is a generous man is an understatement. He is very 19 00:01:21,773 --> 00:01:25,253 Speaker 2: generous with his time. His attitude to just about everything 20 00:01:25,333 --> 00:01:29,213 Speaker 2: is positive and giving. Is a very good speaker, and 21 00:01:29,373 --> 00:01:33,693 Speaker 2: we shall talk with him soon, but just to exemplify 22 00:01:33,773 --> 00:01:36,653 Speaker 2: the fact that he is not on his own with 23 00:01:36,853 --> 00:01:39,893 Speaker 2: what he has been through, and I'm sure most people 24 00:01:40,093 --> 00:01:43,573 Speaker 2: listening will be familiar with it in some way, but 25 00:01:43,653 --> 00:01:47,013 Speaker 2: to show that there are others who are involved in 26 00:01:47,053 --> 00:01:50,013 Speaker 2: trying to improve the world, I suppose let me refer 27 00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:55,053 Speaker 2: to Mary and Demasi, an Australian science writer. She was 28 00:01:55,093 --> 00:01:58,773 Speaker 2: with ABC Radio and Sydney or maybe television or maybe both, 29 00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:02,293 Speaker 2: but she was for a considerable period of time, but 30 00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:05,653 Speaker 2: she went independent and I've referenced to her be for 31 00:02:05,813 --> 00:02:08,693 Speaker 2: she doesn't do interviews because she doesn't want to who 32 00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:12,933 Speaker 2: she wants to retain her independence. I think is the 33 00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:16,933 Speaker 2: way that she put it to me. Anyway, Merk rigged 34 00:02:17,013 --> 00:02:21,693 Speaker 2: Gardasil trials to conceal Harm's court documents reveal and this 35 00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:25,093 Speaker 2: was published by her just a few days ago. In 36 00:02:25,133 --> 00:02:28,173 Speaker 2: what would become one of the most explosive pharmaceutical lawsuits 37 00:02:28,213 --> 00:02:32,733 Speaker 2: in US history, Roby versus Merk, centered on the Gardasil 38 00:02:32,973 --> 00:02:37,133 Speaker 2: HPV vaccine and is set to resume in Los Angeles 39 00:02:37,133 --> 00:02:40,053 Speaker 2: in September of this year. At the core of the 40 00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:44,893 Speaker 2: case are allegations that Merk misrepresented the safety profile of Gardasil, 41 00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:51,053 Speaker 2: allegations now supported by powerful evidence. A newly unsealed expert 42 00:02:51,093 --> 00:02:55,533 Speaker 2: report from Danish physician and world renowned research methodologist doctor 43 00:02:55,733 --> 00:03:01,653 Speaker 2: Peter C. Gooshki, Well that's my interpretation, submitted as part 44 00:03:01,693 --> 00:03:05,333 Speaker 2: of the pre trial motion, underpins the claims against Merk. 45 00:03:05,973 --> 00:03:09,653 Speaker 2: His three hundred and fifty page forensic analysis, now part 46 00:03:09,693 --> 00:03:12,933 Speaker 2: of the official court record, lays bare a chilling narrative 47 00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:20,093 Speaker 2: of clinical trial rigging, regulatory failure, and global deception. According 48 00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:25,493 Speaker 2: to Weergotski, Merk distorted its clinical trial data so thoroughly 49 00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:30,493 Speaker 2: that the results were rendered scientifically meaningless. Gotshki's assessment is 50 00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:34,453 Speaker 2: stark and unequivocal. The Mirk sponsored trials cannot be used 51 00:03:34,573 --> 00:03:37,373 Speaker 2: to properly assess the harms of the vaccines, he writes, 52 00:03:37,933 --> 00:03:42,853 Speaker 2: adding that the company squandered the opportunity to legitimately study 53 00:03:42,853 --> 00:03:47,333 Speaker 2: the safety of Gardasil. After examining one hundred and twelve 54 00:03:47,373 --> 00:03:53,253 Speaker 2: thousand pages of regulatory documents, Gotshki concluded that Mirk manipulated 55 00:03:53,293 --> 00:03:57,773 Speaker 2: its data to such an extent that it would be difficult, 56 00:03:58,213 --> 00:04:01,733 Speaker 2: if not impossible, for any independent scientist or even government 57 00:04:01,773 --> 00:04:07,333 Speaker 2: regulators to accurately assess the vaccines harm. It now raises 58 00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:13,733 Speaker 2: the fundamental question, were millions of adolescents misled into consenting 59 00:04:13,813 --> 00:04:18,653 Speaker 2: to a vaccine whose true safety risks were deliberately obscured. 60 00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:22,853 Speaker 2: Now there is more to the article, but it's not 61 00:04:23,293 --> 00:04:27,773 Speaker 2: the point of today's podcast. But that's just one example. 62 00:04:28,293 --> 00:04:32,373 Speaker 2: Here's a second, The Crisis of Unreliable Science, a pharmacologist 63 00:04:32,533 --> 00:04:38,813 Speaker 2: call for radical reform. Each year, biomedical scientists pump out 64 00:04:39,093 --> 00:04:42,773 Speaker 2: about a million new papers, but a troubling truth hides 65 00:04:42,813 --> 00:04:46,333 Speaker 2: in plain sight. Much of this work cannot be replicated. 66 00:04:46,813 --> 00:04:50,293 Speaker 2: Far from a small glitch, this is a colossal crisis, 67 00:04:50,493 --> 00:04:55,453 Speaker 2: squandering billions, eroding faith in science, and stalling genuine breakthroughs. 68 00:04:56,213 --> 00:05:01,693 Speaker 2: In an interview with Chemical and Engineering News, pharmacologist Zaba Zavo, 69 00:05:02,173 --> 00:05:06,653 Speaker 2: a professor at the University of Freiburg, Switzerland, confronts this 70 00:05:06,813 --> 00:05:11,613 Speaker 2: chaos head on previewing his recently published book Unreliable. His 71 00:05:11,773 --> 00:05:16,653 Speaker 2: verdict the scientific system is fractured beyond repair, and band 72 00:05:16,693 --> 00:05:20,533 Speaker 2: aid fixes won't cut it. Nothing short of a revolution 73 00:05:20,813 --> 00:05:24,533 Speaker 2: will do. But there is more, and it goes back 74 00:05:24,573 --> 00:05:27,733 Speaker 2: a little further, just to show that there's nothing really 75 00:05:27,853 --> 00:05:31,333 Speaker 2: new about from the book Betrayers of Truth, which I 76 00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:34,453 Speaker 2: think is about fifty years old now or thereabouts. Fraud 77 00:05:34,533 --> 00:05:36,653 Speaker 2: and de Seit in the Halls of Science by William 78 00:05:36,693 --> 00:05:40,773 Speaker 2: Broad and Nicholas Wade, and chapter two is deceit in history. 79 00:05:41,013 --> 00:05:43,853 Speaker 2: Through experimental science, we have been able to learn all 80 00:05:43,893 --> 00:05:47,813 Speaker 2: these facts about the natural world, triumphing over darkness and ignorance, 81 00:05:47,853 --> 00:05:52,733 Speaker 2: to classify the stars and to estimate their masses, composition distances, 82 00:05:52,773 --> 00:05:56,813 Speaker 2: and velocities, to classify living species, and to unravel their 83 00:05:56,813 --> 00:06:02,093 Speaker 2: genetic relations. These great accomplishments of experimental science were achieved 84 00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:05,733 Speaker 2: by men who had in common only a few things. 85 00:06:05,813 --> 00:06:09,853 Speaker 2: They were honest and actually made the observations they recorded, 86 00:06:10,293 --> 00:06:12,773 Speaker 2: and they published the results of their work in a 87 00:06:12,853 --> 00:06:16,933 Speaker 2: form permitting others to duplicate the experiment or observation. So 88 00:06:17,213 --> 00:06:21,493 Speaker 2: says the Berkeley Physics Course, an influential text that has 89 00:06:21,533 --> 00:06:24,333 Speaker 2: been used across the United States to impress cottage students 90 00:06:24,373 --> 00:06:29,613 Speaker 2: with both the substance and tradition of modern physics. As 91 00:06:29,653 --> 00:06:34,573 Speaker 2: with non scientific systems. As with non scientific systems of belief, however, 92 00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:38,973 Speaker 2: the elements insisted on most strongly are often those with 93 00:06:39,093 --> 00:06:42,893 Speaker 2: the least factual reliability. The great scientists of the past 94 00:06:42,933 --> 00:06:46,053 Speaker 2: were not all so honest, and they did not always 95 00:06:46,093 --> 00:06:51,773 Speaker 2: obtain the experimental results they reported. Claudius Ptolemy, known as 96 00:06:51,813 --> 00:06:56,733 Speaker 2: the greatest astronomer of antiquity, did most of his observing 97 00:06:56,813 --> 00:06:59,853 Speaker 2: not at night on the coast of Egypt, but during 98 00:06:59,893 --> 00:07:03,133 Speaker 2: the day in the great Library of Alexandria, where he 99 00:07:03,253 --> 00:07:07,093 Speaker 2: appropriated the work of a Greek astronomer and proceeded to 100 00:07:07,133 --> 00:07:10,213 Speaker 2: call it his own. There's more, but we'll finish with 101 00:07:10,253 --> 00:07:13,933 Speaker 2: the last, and obviously the most recent. The American physicist 102 00:07:14,093 --> 00:07:17,533 Speaker 2: Robert Millikan won the Nobel Prize for being the first 103 00:07:17,613 --> 00:07:23,053 Speaker 2: to measure the electric charge of an electron. But Millican 104 00:07:23,533 --> 00:07:27,933 Speaker 2: extensively misrepresented his work in order to make his experimental 105 00:07:27,973 --> 00:07:32,773 Speaker 2: results seem more convincing than was in fact the case. 106 00:07:33,933 --> 00:07:37,493 Speaker 2: So there's some examples of the fact that we might 107 00:07:37,573 --> 00:07:40,853 Speaker 2: be believing things that aren't true even in this day 108 00:07:40,893 --> 00:07:43,933 Speaker 2: and age. In fact, I think it's fair to say 109 00:07:43,973 --> 00:07:47,733 Speaker 2: even more in this day and age. However, that is 110 00:07:47,773 --> 00:07:51,533 Speaker 2: not the case. I believe with doctor Pierre Cory. The 111 00:07:51,613 --> 00:07:56,373 Speaker 2: problem with his issues lies with the opposition to what 112 00:07:56,613 --> 00:07:59,973 Speaker 2: he has produced. I believe that they're the ones with 113 00:08:00,133 --> 00:08:03,733 Speaker 2: the problems and if anybody from the medical profession or 114 00:08:03,733 --> 00:08:07,533 Speaker 2: the scientific world has different opinions that they feel strongly 115 00:08:07,573 --> 00:08:10,573 Speaker 2: about that, I'd love to hear from you with full 116 00:08:10,613 --> 00:08:15,613 Speaker 2: respect and hear what you have to say and where 117 00:08:15,613 --> 00:08:18,813 Speaker 2: you disagree with what you're about to hear, I think 118 00:08:18,853 --> 00:08:21,853 Speaker 2: that that would be a fine thing. Latent at Newstalks 119 00:08:21,853 --> 00:08:26,373 Speaker 2: ADB dot co dot Nz we'll hear from doctor Corey in. 120 00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:26,933 Speaker 3: Just a moment. 121 00:08:34,253 --> 00:08:37,893 Speaker 2: Buccolan is a natural oral vaccine in a tablet form 122 00:08:37,973 --> 00:08:41,813 Speaker 2: called Bacterial Nice Safe. It'll boost your natural protection against 123 00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:44,973 Speaker 2: bacterial infections in your chest and throat. A three day 124 00:08:45,053 --> 00:08:47,893 Speaker 2: course of seven Bucklan tablets will help your body build 125 00:08:47,973 --> 00:08:51,613 Speaker 2: up to three months of immunity against bugs which cause 126 00:08:51,813 --> 00:08:55,373 Speaker 2: bacterial cold symptoms. So who can take buccolan well, the 127 00:08:55,373 --> 00:08:58,333 Speaker 2: whole family from two years of age and upwards. A 128 00:08:58,453 --> 00:09:01,813 Speaker 2: course of Bucclan tablets offers cost effective and safe protection 129 00:09:01,893 --> 00:09:05,893 Speaker 2: from colds and chills. Protection becomes effective a few days 130 00:09:05,933 --> 00:09:09,053 Speaker 2: after you take buccolan and lasts for to three months 131 00:09:09,093 --> 00:09:12,253 Speaker 2: following the three day course. Buccolan can be taken throughout 132 00:09:12,293 --> 00:09:15,053 Speaker 2: the cold season, over winter, or all the year round. 133 00:09:15,293 --> 00:09:18,213 Speaker 2: And remember buckelan is not intended as an alternative to 134 00:09:18,253 --> 00:09:21,693 Speaker 2: influenza vaccination, but may be used along with the flu 135 00:09:21,773 --> 00:09:25,893 Speaker 2: vaccination for added protection. And keep in mind that millions 136 00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:29,173 Speaker 2: of doses have been taken by Kiwis for over fifty years. 137 00:09:29,533 --> 00:09:32,973 Speaker 2: Only available from your pharmacist. Always read the label and 138 00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:37,733 Speaker 2: users directed, and see your doctor if systems persist. Farmer Broker, Auckland, 139 00:09:46,813 --> 00:09:51,853 Speaker 2: Layton Smith. Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. 140 00:09:52,013 --> 00:09:55,733 Speaker 2: It doesn't work. It's a deadly horse steawormer, prescribed and 141 00:09:55,773 --> 00:09:58,453 Speaker 2: promoted as you'll be called a right wing quack and 142 00:09:58,573 --> 00:10:01,173 Speaker 2: be banned from social media or lose your license to 143 00:10:01,173 --> 00:10:05,453 Speaker 2: practice medicine. And yet entire countries wiped out the virus 144 00:10:05,453 --> 00:10:08,973 Speaker 2: with it, and more than ninety five studies now show 145 00:10:09,013 --> 00:10:12,813 Speaker 2: it to be unequivocally effective in preventing and treating COVID nineteen. 146 00:10:13,173 --> 00:10:16,853 Speaker 2: Ask you isulved this question? If it didn't work, why was 147 00:10:16,893 --> 00:10:21,293 Speaker 2: there a coordinated global campaign to cancel it? What is 148 00:10:21,333 --> 00:10:25,813 Speaker 2: the truth about this decades old Nobel Prize winning medication. Now, 149 00:10:25,853 --> 00:10:28,093 Speaker 2: the words I've just quoted are from the inside cover 150 00:10:28,293 --> 00:10:33,053 Speaker 2: of the book The War on Ivermectin. It was published 151 00:10:33,053 --> 00:10:35,013 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, and it was sold all over 152 00:10:35,053 --> 00:10:38,213 Speaker 2: the world. To say that it's worth reading is an 153 00:10:38,373 --> 00:10:42,773 Speaker 2: understatement of major proportion. But I had trouble finding a copy, 154 00:10:42,893 --> 00:10:45,853 Speaker 2: at least one that I could buy immediately. I only 155 00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:49,973 Speaker 2: had a few days notice. Subtitled The Medicine that Saved 156 00:10:49,973 --> 00:10:54,093 Speaker 2: millions and could have entered the pandemic, its author is 157 00:10:54,293 --> 00:10:58,373 Speaker 2: as you'll discover a fascinating individual, doctor per Corey. It's 158 00:10:58,373 --> 00:10:59,813 Speaker 2: a pleasure to finally get to talk with. 159 00:10:59,853 --> 00:11:03,413 Speaker 3: You, Leaton. My pleasure as well. Thanks for having me. 160 00:11:03,573 --> 00:11:05,373 Speaker 2: We're doing this between golf games. 161 00:11:05,413 --> 00:11:08,613 Speaker 3: I gather exactly I'm on vac but. 162 00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:10,973 Speaker 4: I wanted to make time for you. I think it's 163 00:11:10,973 --> 00:11:12,373 Speaker 4: an important conversation. 164 00:11:11,973 --> 00:11:15,293 Speaker 2: Always, well, you certainly do your fair share of media, 165 00:11:16,213 --> 00:11:20,253 Speaker 2: so so I want to start just with we'll jump 166 00:11:20,293 --> 00:11:22,653 Speaker 2: around a little bit. I actually we'll jump around a lot. 167 00:11:22,693 --> 00:11:26,373 Speaker 2: It's my podcast. But yeah, I want to start with 168 00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:30,813 Speaker 2: a little experience that you had because this this intrigued 169 00:11:30,853 --> 00:11:35,533 Speaker 2: me with a political legend, and this comes under the 170 00:11:35,613 --> 00:11:38,093 Speaker 2: heating right at the right near the beginning of the book, 171 00:11:38,373 --> 00:11:41,613 Speaker 2: where you are talking about old Pierre as opposed to 172 00:11:41,773 --> 00:11:46,853 Speaker 2: New Pierre. But old Pierre was a fascinating character before 173 00:11:46,893 --> 00:11:48,573 Speaker 2: he changed. So who was old Pierre? 174 00:11:50,133 --> 00:11:52,853 Speaker 3: Oh boy? Yeah, So that was that was the opening 175 00:11:52,853 --> 00:11:53,413 Speaker 3: of my book. 176 00:11:54,373 --> 00:11:57,813 Speaker 4: Well really described, you know, my kind of awakening in 177 00:11:57,893 --> 00:12:01,173 Speaker 4: COVID and so compared to what I believed and what 178 00:12:01,253 --> 00:12:04,453 Speaker 4: I thought were was the truth to what I came 179 00:12:04,493 --> 00:12:09,133 Speaker 4: to believe. Uh, it created an all in a new Pier. 180 00:12:09,213 --> 00:12:12,333 Speaker 4: So the old Pierre, as I describe it, the old 181 00:12:12,373 --> 00:12:15,413 Speaker 4: Pierre read the New York Times and thought it was 182 00:12:15,453 --> 00:12:16,893 Speaker 4: the arbiter of truth. 183 00:12:17,413 --> 00:12:18,733 Speaker 3: And if you really wanted to know. 184 00:12:18,693 --> 00:12:20,573 Speaker 4: What was going on, you read the New York Times 185 00:12:20,613 --> 00:12:24,053 Speaker 4: and you would substitute whatever your main major daily newspaper 186 00:12:24,093 --> 00:12:27,213 Speaker 4: is in New Zealand. But that's the quote unquote paper 187 00:12:27,293 --> 00:12:30,133 Speaker 4: of record in the United States. I read that since 188 00:12:30,173 --> 00:12:35,533 Speaker 4: I was six. I believed in the high impact medical journals. 189 00:12:35,613 --> 00:12:38,773 Speaker 4: I thought only the best science and scientists published there. 190 00:12:39,693 --> 00:12:43,733 Speaker 4: I believed in our healthcare public health agencies. I thought 191 00:12:44,293 --> 00:12:47,613 Speaker 4: only the best science and scientists would form those opinions 192 00:12:47,653 --> 00:12:52,933 Speaker 4: and give that kind of guidance I trusted. I don't 193 00:12:52,973 --> 00:12:56,373 Speaker 4: think I really questioned mainstream media. I kind of felt 194 00:12:56,413 --> 00:12:59,733 Speaker 4: like they're just reporting on stories, and that's what was 195 00:12:59,773 --> 00:13:02,813 Speaker 4: going on, and I was just very basically trusting in 196 00:13:02,853 --> 00:13:06,813 Speaker 4: the institutions of society, and that was a world that 197 00:13:06,893 --> 00:13:09,133 Speaker 4: I lived in, and I thought every thing was I 198 00:13:09,133 --> 00:13:12,053 Speaker 4: don't want to say normal, but I just that was 199 00:13:12,253 --> 00:13:14,773 Speaker 4: my frame of reference for the world I lived in. 200 00:13:15,053 --> 00:13:18,013 Speaker 3: And lady, you want to ask me what the new 201 00:13:18,053 --> 00:13:18,613 Speaker 3: Pierre is. 202 00:13:19,573 --> 00:13:23,533 Speaker 2: Well, let's put it. Let's put it this way. The 203 00:13:23,533 --> 00:13:26,173 Speaker 2: title of the book is The War on Either Migdon, 204 00:13:27,613 --> 00:13:29,453 Speaker 2: and it just came to me as I was reading, 205 00:13:29,613 --> 00:13:33,293 Speaker 2: and I thought a good subtitle would be The Education 206 00:13:33,533 --> 00:13:36,973 Speaker 2: of Pierre Corey, Yes, because. 207 00:13:36,933 --> 00:13:39,573 Speaker 3: Because it really does describe a journey for sure. 208 00:13:39,653 --> 00:13:40,693 Speaker 2: So what about the new peer? 209 00:13:42,053 --> 00:13:44,373 Speaker 4: I mean, the new Pierre has come to learn that 210 00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:47,813 Speaker 4: what the old Pierre believed is simply not true. And 211 00:13:48,133 --> 00:13:53,013 Speaker 4: I hate going like dark or negative thoughts so quickly. 212 00:13:53,213 --> 00:13:55,693 Speaker 4: I mean, the new Pierre has come to realize that 213 00:13:55,693 --> 00:13:59,853 Speaker 4: the old Pierre's impressions and perceptions of the world were 214 00:13:59,933 --> 00:14:01,853 Speaker 4: simply not based in fact. 215 00:14:02,213 --> 00:14:03,453 Speaker 3: They were based in perception. 216 00:14:03,853 --> 00:14:09,373 Speaker 4: And you know, I became very inspired and challenge by COVID, 217 00:14:09,373 --> 00:14:12,693 Speaker 4: and from the get go, before even the hit us shores, 218 00:14:13,333 --> 00:14:14,693 Speaker 4: me and my colleagues were. 219 00:14:14,613 --> 00:14:16,133 Speaker 3: Starting to study look at this. 220 00:14:16,373 --> 00:14:18,573 Speaker 4: You know, I was a pulmonary and critical care physician, 221 00:14:19,253 --> 00:14:21,653 Speaker 4: you know, very high up in academia in the United States. 222 00:14:21,653 --> 00:14:24,213 Speaker 4: I was the chief of the Critical care service as 223 00:14:24,253 --> 00:14:26,893 Speaker 4: well as the director of the ICU at a major 224 00:14:26,933 --> 00:14:30,893 Speaker 4: academic medical center here at the University of Wisconsin, huge 225 00:14:30,933 --> 00:14:35,053 Speaker 4: research funded institution, and so I was in charge of 226 00:14:35,053 --> 00:14:39,333 Speaker 4: our initial COVID response. And I was doing that while 227 00:14:39,493 --> 00:14:42,173 Speaker 4: studying the disease that was again it was a pulmonary 228 00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:45,093 Speaker 4: and critical care disease that was coming at us. And 229 00:14:45,133 --> 00:14:47,493 Speaker 4: that began, you know, three or four or five years 230 00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:53,133 Speaker 4: now of deep study, talking to doctors, reading pre prints, 231 00:14:53,173 --> 00:14:55,853 Speaker 4: you know, reading everything I could, and then also just 232 00:14:55,973 --> 00:15:00,733 Speaker 4: keenly observing various therapies, how the variants were changing, how 233 00:15:00,773 --> 00:15:04,213 Speaker 4: people became ill, because it wasn't you know, it's a 234 00:15:04,253 --> 00:15:07,013 Speaker 4: similar disease, but the variants did change and things became 235 00:15:07,493 --> 00:15:08,973 Speaker 4: more difficult than less difficult. 236 00:15:09,013 --> 00:15:09,813 Speaker 3: Does various change. 237 00:15:09,853 --> 00:15:12,253 Speaker 4: And so I've been immersed in the science of COVID 238 00:15:12,293 --> 00:15:15,973 Speaker 4: and particularly the ivermactin, you know, so I became I 239 00:15:15,973 --> 00:15:19,613 Speaker 4: would consider myself one of the clinical experts in the 240 00:15:19,693 --> 00:15:20,813 Speaker 4: use of ivermactin in. 241 00:15:20,813 --> 00:15:24,293 Speaker 3: COVID, and so I knew the truth about ivermactin. 242 00:15:24,373 --> 00:15:26,453 Speaker 2: How did that end into your life? 243 00:15:27,413 --> 00:15:31,933 Speaker 4: Yeah, So what happened was is when I first bonded 244 00:15:31,973 --> 00:15:34,773 Speaker 4: with my colleague Paul Marris, so he and I were 245 00:15:34,813 --> 00:15:37,093 Speaker 4: good friends. We shared a lot of research into IVY 246 00:15:37,173 --> 00:15:42,013 Speaker 4: vitamin C, so we'd been friendly and interacted, and he's 247 00:15:42,093 --> 00:15:45,773 Speaker 4: a very prominent physician, so he was the most published 248 00:15:46,773 --> 00:15:50,973 Speaker 4: practicing critical care medicine doctor in the history of our specialties, 249 00:15:51,293 --> 00:15:54,253 Speaker 4: very very famous, well known. He and I become friends 250 00:15:54,293 --> 00:15:57,613 Speaker 4: because we did neutral research on a topic, and so 251 00:15:57,653 --> 00:16:00,053 Speaker 4: people reached out to him because the governments were not 252 00:16:00,093 --> 00:16:01,533 Speaker 4: coming up with treatment protocols. 253 00:16:01,533 --> 00:16:03,173 Speaker 3: They were just saying like stay. 254 00:16:02,893 --> 00:16:05,133 Speaker 4: Home until your lips turned blue when you got to 255 00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,933 Speaker 4: the hospital. They didn't do anything but like oxygen and 256 00:16:07,973 --> 00:16:11,613 Speaker 4: mentally and Thailand all orgacito minifin. I mean, it was 257 00:16:11,773 --> 00:16:15,333 Speaker 4: absolutely outrageous that no one was trying to treat this disease. 258 00:16:15,973 --> 00:16:18,413 Speaker 4: And there are all these arguments, there's no studies to 259 00:16:18,453 --> 00:16:21,013 Speaker 4: show you how to treat it, so basically do nothing. 260 00:16:21,373 --> 00:16:25,693 Speaker 4: It was just brazenly absurd reasoning. And so we started 261 00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:28,133 Speaker 4: to study various therapies and we came up with a 262 00:16:28,173 --> 00:16:32,933 Speaker 4: hospital protocol and so some people, prominent people asked Paul 263 00:16:33,013 --> 00:16:36,813 Speaker 4: to form a group to put out protocols. So we 264 00:16:36,893 --> 00:16:41,253 Speaker 4: formed a nonprofit organization called the FLCCC Alliance, and we 265 00:16:41,373 --> 00:16:44,933 Speaker 4: started to post protocols first in the hospital. We did 266 00:16:44,973 --> 00:16:47,853 Speaker 4: not have an early treatment protocol for another six months. 267 00:16:48,093 --> 00:16:49,613 Speaker 3: But what Paul did was very clever. 268 00:16:50,253 --> 00:16:53,693 Speaker 4: We were following the data on various therapeutics you could 269 00:16:53,773 --> 00:16:57,253 Speaker 4: use as now patient, and we'd had this chart and 270 00:16:57,293 --> 00:16:59,773 Speaker 4: he would put like green, yellow, and red lights, you know, 271 00:16:59,813 --> 00:17:02,493 Speaker 4: in terms of how much the evidence was showing support 272 00:17:03,173 --> 00:17:06,333 Speaker 4: for various therapies, and iver mactin was always on that 273 00:17:06,453 --> 00:17:08,853 Speaker 4: chart with a question mark because we'd heard some things 274 00:17:08,893 --> 00:17:11,173 Speaker 4: that ivermectin may be effective, but we had no data, 275 00:17:11,213 --> 00:17:14,093 Speaker 4: we had no science, no trials. And it was really 276 00:17:14,133 --> 00:17:17,133 Speaker 4: October of twenty twenty, probably what is six seven months 277 00:17:17,133 --> 00:17:21,013 Speaker 4: into the pandemic, when all of a sudden, a series 278 00:17:21,053 --> 00:17:24,893 Speaker 4: of studies from various places around the world started coming 279 00:17:24,933 --> 00:17:29,373 Speaker 4: out showing this incredible efficacy of ivermactin. I granted they 280 00:17:29,373 --> 00:17:32,973 Speaker 4: were small studies, but there's nothing wrong with a small study, 281 00:17:32,973 --> 00:17:35,693 Speaker 4: because what a small study can't do is it can't 282 00:17:35,733 --> 00:17:41,293 Speaker 4: detect small benefits. But when a small study detects large benefits, 283 00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:44,413 Speaker 4: you have a lot of difficulty explaining those ways. And 284 00:17:44,493 --> 00:17:46,893 Speaker 4: so we were seeing these immense benefits come out from 285 00:17:46,893 --> 00:17:50,093 Speaker 4: these studies, and Paul brought it to our attention in 286 00:17:50,133 --> 00:17:52,613 Speaker 4: the group, and we put it into a protocol. We 287 00:17:52,653 --> 00:17:55,333 Speaker 4: had an early treatment protocol. We added many other medicines, 288 00:17:55,973 --> 00:17:58,653 Speaker 4: you know, subsequent to that. But that's really what happened. 289 00:17:58,693 --> 00:18:02,053 Speaker 4: And when Paul, when those first few trials, Paul picked 290 00:18:02,093 --> 00:18:04,453 Speaker 4: up on that signal, I said, I'm going to write 291 00:18:04,453 --> 00:18:08,053 Speaker 4: a review paper on all of the emerging evidence of 292 00:18:08,053 --> 00:18:10,493 Speaker 4: IBA in COVID. And it was a really hard paper 293 00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:14,173 Speaker 4: to write. For one reason, laden is that every time 294 00:18:14,253 --> 00:18:16,933 Speaker 4: I was about to finish it and uploaded to a 295 00:18:16,973 --> 00:18:20,933 Speaker 4: preprint server or submitted to a journal, another study would 296 00:18:20,973 --> 00:18:24,453 Speaker 4: come out. And it seemed like every week there was 297 00:18:24,493 --> 00:18:27,053 Speaker 4: a new study. And I always make the joke that 298 00:18:27,093 --> 00:18:30,213 Speaker 4: I had a reference manager for my manuscripts, which didn't 299 00:18:30,213 --> 00:18:34,613 Speaker 4: work very well. So I was manually reordering my references and. 300 00:18:34,933 --> 00:18:38,933 Speaker 3: Talked hours hours and hours and hours. But anyway, that's 301 00:18:39,013 --> 00:18:39,813 Speaker 3: kind of the story. 302 00:18:40,573 --> 00:18:44,773 Speaker 4: And I put out that paper in November of twenty twenty, 303 00:18:44,933 --> 00:18:48,733 Speaker 4: and then Senator Ron Johnson, who was like me. He 304 00:18:48,853 --> 00:18:53,133 Speaker 4: was similarly, you know, very kind of disappointed as a 305 00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:55,413 Speaker 4: mild word. I mean, he was irate that the government 306 00:18:55,453 --> 00:18:59,333 Speaker 4: was doing nothing to provide guidance on treatment, and so 307 00:18:59,373 --> 00:19:02,213 Speaker 4: he held these hearings. I testified for the first time 308 00:19:02,253 --> 00:19:05,013 Speaker 4: actually in May of twenty twenty on the critical need 309 00:19:05,093 --> 00:19:07,733 Speaker 4: for cortico steroids in the hospital phase of the disease. 310 00:19:08,373 --> 00:19:10,893 Speaker 4: And by the way, I did that at a time 311 00:19:10,933 --> 00:19:14,653 Speaker 4: when every national and international healthcare organization around the world 312 00:19:14,733 --> 00:19:19,013 Speaker 4: was recommending against cortico steroids. So I got into my 313 00:19:19,333 --> 00:19:22,613 Speaker 4: first rodeo in COVID was cordico steroids because I got 314 00:19:22,693 --> 00:19:23,453 Speaker 4: hammered for that. 315 00:19:23,773 --> 00:19:28,093 Speaker 2: Right, just steroids or what exactly they are. 316 00:19:28,853 --> 00:19:33,853 Speaker 4: There's a strong anti inflammatory ammino suppressants, so they suppressed inflammation. 317 00:19:33,973 --> 00:19:36,973 Speaker 4: So the things like prednozone or hydro cortizone you might 318 00:19:37,013 --> 00:19:40,333 Speaker 4: have heard of, or quarters and those are cordico steroids, 319 00:19:40,373 --> 00:19:43,733 Speaker 4: and and everybody was saying don't use them, even though 320 00:19:43,733 --> 00:19:46,813 Speaker 4: these patients were hyper inflaming. Then their lungs were actually 321 00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:48,933 Speaker 4: failing from excessive inflammation. 322 00:19:49,053 --> 00:19:51,853 Speaker 3: So it was not really a stretch to know that 323 00:19:51,933 --> 00:19:52,733 Speaker 3: it was important. 324 00:19:52,933 --> 00:19:55,213 Speaker 4: And we had a lot of scientific evidence from stars 325 00:19:55,253 --> 00:19:59,093 Speaker 4: and mers, but yet everybody's recommending against it. And it 326 00:19:59,173 --> 00:20:02,093 Speaker 4: was just bizarre because Paul and I are expert clinicians 327 00:20:02,093 --> 00:20:04,413 Speaker 4: and we've been at the bedside trying to keep patients 328 00:20:04,413 --> 00:20:08,013 Speaker 4: alive for you know, decades, Like we know stuff that works, 329 00:20:08,053 --> 00:20:10,813 Speaker 4: we know it doesn't work, and we were using COVID 330 00:20:10,853 --> 00:20:11,613 Speaker 4: to good effect. 331 00:20:12,293 --> 00:20:13,733 Speaker 3: And so that was kind of the first thing. And 332 00:20:13,773 --> 00:20:16,373 Speaker 3: and but I'll just say that first chapter. 333 00:20:17,173 --> 00:20:20,373 Speaker 4: Although I was attacked viciously, even by my own university, 334 00:20:21,453 --> 00:20:25,213 Speaker 4: within three months it became the standard of care worldwide. 335 00:20:25,773 --> 00:20:30,093 Speaker 4: So people forget that my early, my early should I say, 336 00:20:30,173 --> 00:20:34,373 Speaker 4: dissent in treatment of COVID was later validated. 337 00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:36,413 Speaker 3: But when it got. 338 00:20:35,973 --> 00:20:38,453 Speaker 2: Sorry, was it was it validated with recognition? 339 00:20:39,853 --> 00:20:40,133 Speaker 3: Yeah? 340 00:20:40,173 --> 00:20:42,533 Speaker 4: Well no, no, no, no, no no one ever said, hey, 341 00:20:42,573 --> 00:20:43,813 Speaker 4: doctor Grace, sorry. 342 00:20:43,653 --> 00:20:44,733 Speaker 3: We attacked you. 343 00:20:44,733 --> 00:20:46,693 Speaker 4: No that that goes water under the bridge, no one, 344 00:20:46,733 --> 00:20:50,133 Speaker 4: no one, No one ever apologizes. But I know that 345 00:20:50,173 --> 00:20:53,173 Speaker 4: I was validated because what I had said earlier became 346 00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:56,973 Speaker 4: the standard of care. But no, there's no public you know, 347 00:20:57,453 --> 00:21:00,333 Speaker 4: championing or you get what I'm saying. 348 00:21:00,413 --> 00:21:01,013 Speaker 3: Late, So. 349 00:21:02,653 --> 00:21:06,333 Speaker 4: But then you know, the same thing happened with ivermactin 350 00:21:06,453 --> 00:21:10,453 Speaker 4: is that we had this incredible sign The first patient 351 00:21:10,533 --> 00:21:14,413 Speaker 4: I treated turned around overnight with ivermactin. And I was 352 00:21:14,453 --> 00:21:16,893 Speaker 4: also talked to the doctors from various places around the 353 00:21:16,893 --> 00:21:19,373 Speaker 4: world that they were just telling me these incredible benefits. 354 00:21:19,413 --> 00:21:22,733 Speaker 4: I mean, nobody was dying in places they were using ivermactin. 355 00:21:23,053 --> 00:21:26,733 Speaker 4: I talked to patients in South America and India, plus 356 00:21:26,773 --> 00:21:30,213 Speaker 4: all of the studies showed the same thing. And then 357 00:21:30,253 --> 00:21:33,773 Speaker 4: I got to testify again in Senator Johnston's hearing in 358 00:21:33,813 --> 00:21:37,173 Speaker 4: December of twenty twenty, and that testimony went viral, and 359 00:21:37,213 --> 00:21:40,973 Speaker 4: then ivermactin became a real issue. It became it was 360 00:21:40,973 --> 00:21:44,013 Speaker 4: on the tongues of everybody. Everyone was considering it. 361 00:21:44,093 --> 00:21:47,493 Speaker 3: But when I first testified, I listen. 362 00:21:47,533 --> 00:21:49,373 Speaker 4: I didn't think I would get a ticker tape parade, 363 00:21:50,093 --> 00:21:53,413 Speaker 4: but I thought people would appreciate that we'd identified this 364 00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:57,573 Speaker 4: really positive data signal and they would incorporate it into 365 00:21:57,613 --> 00:22:00,533 Speaker 4: their protocols and people would start to use it. But 366 00:22:00,613 --> 00:22:04,533 Speaker 4: this is where my life changed, is that the opposite happened, 367 00:22:05,373 --> 00:22:08,733 Speaker 4: and I was very confused. I really did know what 368 00:22:08,773 --> 00:22:14,213 Speaker 4: was going on, but instead it was immediately attacked, dismissed. 369 00:22:14,693 --> 00:22:17,733 Speaker 4: I was personally attacked Paul Marreck was personally attacked. Hit 370 00:22:17,853 --> 00:22:20,293 Speaker 4: jobs showed up in the media, and I saw these 371 00:22:20,493 --> 00:22:25,653 Speaker 4: blatant distortions and untruths being published by the major media 372 00:22:25,813 --> 00:22:29,653 Speaker 4: organizations around the world. And they all had the same formula, 373 00:22:29,813 --> 00:22:34,733 Speaker 4: same template, used similar quotes from pedigree doctors from these 374 00:22:35,333 --> 00:22:38,373 Speaker 4: high fluting agencies and or universities. 375 00:22:39,053 --> 00:22:43,173 Speaker 3: And it was to say, it was disappointing. It was 376 00:22:43,253 --> 00:22:44,813 Speaker 3: really a kind of disorienting. 377 00:22:44,893 --> 00:22:47,453 Speaker 2: Did the word corruption, did the word corruption? 378 00:22:47,613 --> 00:22:50,613 Speaker 3: And not at not initially? 379 00:22:52,853 --> 00:22:54,893 Speaker 4: No. And I'll tell you why I didn't leap to 380 00:22:54,933 --> 00:22:58,733 Speaker 4: corruption initially. It is because there's this thing in medicine. 381 00:22:58,773 --> 00:23:00,813 Speaker 4: I don't know if you're aware of it, but there's 382 00:23:00,853 --> 00:23:04,573 Speaker 4: a field of medicine that actually was first originated in 383 00:23:04,573 --> 00:23:08,333 Speaker 4: the early nineteen nineties, and it's called evidence based medicine. 384 00:23:09,533 --> 00:23:15,133 Speaker 4: And it was this development where we as a field 385 00:23:15,533 --> 00:23:19,773 Speaker 4: decided to really make sure that any treatments we used 386 00:23:20,373 --> 00:23:25,253 Speaker 4: have sufficient evidence of safety and efficacy. And part of 387 00:23:25,253 --> 00:23:30,173 Speaker 4: that field is assessing or assigning a quality of evidence 388 00:23:30,213 --> 00:23:31,253 Speaker 4: to everything, and so. 389 00:23:32,253 --> 00:23:34,173 Speaker 3: It's a very cautious type of thing. 390 00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:38,613 Speaker 4: It's first member, do no harm, right, But also they 391 00:23:38,653 --> 00:23:40,813 Speaker 4: just wanted to make sure that the way we treated 392 00:23:40,853 --> 00:23:45,213 Speaker 4: diseases had scientific evidence to support them, and I believed 393 00:23:45,213 --> 00:23:48,173 Speaker 4: in evidence based medicine how was practice, But I came 394 00:23:48,253 --> 00:23:52,613 Speaker 4: to find out that evidence based medicine got corrupted and 395 00:23:52,693 --> 00:23:56,493 Speaker 4: distorted from its original precepts. And so when it was 396 00:23:56,653 --> 00:23:59,773 Speaker 4: when my first recommendations were not accepted, like I'd been 397 00:23:59,893 --> 00:24:02,933 Speaker 4: used to that, I'd had evidence based medicine arguments with 398 00:24:03,053 --> 00:24:06,813 Speaker 4: colleagues for a decade, because every time I said something worked, 399 00:24:07,013 --> 00:24:09,773 Speaker 4: they were like, where's the random controlled trial to show that. 400 00:24:10,173 --> 00:24:12,573 Speaker 4: There's this trial that shows this this trial that shows 401 00:24:12,613 --> 00:24:16,453 Speaker 4: that the evidence is conflicting. It's controversial, and I'm I 402 00:24:16,533 --> 00:24:19,893 Speaker 4: had some of these tired arguments later, but as a physician. 403 00:24:19,973 --> 00:24:21,213 Speaker 3: I knew what worked. 404 00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:23,573 Speaker 4: I mean, I was doing stuff in my practice, in 405 00:24:23,613 --> 00:24:26,213 Speaker 4: my ICU. I could see patients turning around if I 406 00:24:26,213 --> 00:24:28,973 Speaker 4: did stuff to them. But yet I'd be lambasted with 407 00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:32,853 Speaker 4: all of these evidence based medicine arguments that what I 408 00:24:32,893 --> 00:24:34,893 Speaker 4: was actually doing to help people wasn't working. 409 00:24:35,293 --> 00:24:37,853 Speaker 3: And so it was a dystopian world a little bit. 410 00:24:38,013 --> 00:24:41,133 Speaker 4: And and so at first I thought this was about 411 00:24:41,173 --> 00:24:44,133 Speaker 4: an argument over evidence. Is that the agencies around the 412 00:24:44,133 --> 00:24:46,293 Speaker 4: world and the scientists around the world we're not going 413 00:24:46,333 --> 00:24:49,613 Speaker 4: to rescommend something until they had what's called high quality, 414 00:24:49,733 --> 00:24:53,093 Speaker 4: rigorous evidence. You know, my word that I'm turning patients 415 00:24:53,093 --> 00:24:56,933 Speaker 4: around was not enough. We needed the big trial, right even. 416 00:24:56,773 --> 00:25:00,493 Speaker 2: Though result called up just a second, I'm intrigued. You're 417 00:25:00,493 --> 00:25:04,173 Speaker 2: in a hospital, you're working in a hospital, and you're 418 00:25:04,213 --> 00:25:07,253 Speaker 2: doing all this and you're surrounded by other medical people, 419 00:25:07,533 --> 00:25:09,173 Speaker 2: doctors in space have you. 420 00:25:10,773 --> 00:25:11,013 Speaker 3: Yep? 421 00:25:11,133 --> 00:25:13,853 Speaker 2: Couldn't they see what you were seeing as the result? 422 00:25:14,973 --> 00:25:16,253 Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. 423 00:25:18,173 --> 00:25:22,893 Speaker 4: No, because they're not involved with my patients and me 424 00:25:23,093 --> 00:25:26,213 Speaker 4: telling them that I'm seeing patients turn around with the 425 00:25:26,293 --> 00:25:29,413 Speaker 4: use of a certain drug, they'd have to take my 426 00:25:29,453 --> 00:25:30,013 Speaker 4: word for it. 427 00:25:30,653 --> 00:25:33,013 Speaker 3: And they were I'm. 428 00:25:33,013 --> 00:25:39,013 Speaker 4: Just say, propagandized with so much negativity towards potential treatments 429 00:25:39,013 --> 00:25:43,333 Speaker 4: for COVID. Right, So just real quick, as you mentioned, 430 00:25:43,373 --> 00:25:46,253 Speaker 4: I wrote the book The War and I vermactin the 431 00:25:47,013 --> 00:25:49,293 Speaker 4: one of my colleagues could have written the book The 432 00:25:49,333 --> 00:25:53,173 Speaker 4: War on hydroxy chloroquin because if you read my book 433 00:25:53,293 --> 00:25:55,613 Speaker 4: when I when I described the war and I remactin, 434 00:25:56,053 --> 00:26:00,613 Speaker 4: it was the same exact war as hydroxychlorquin a year prior, 435 00:26:01,133 --> 00:26:05,653 Speaker 4: the same tactic, same results. And so now I'm kind 436 00:26:05,653 --> 00:26:10,173 Speaker 4: of jumping to. What I've learned is that me low cost, 437 00:26:10,773 --> 00:26:17,013 Speaker 4: widely available, effective therapeutic that threatens the financial interest or 438 00:26:17,053 --> 00:26:20,173 Speaker 4: the markets that popped up in COVID, not only just 439 00:26:20,213 --> 00:26:25,653 Speaker 4: for the vaccines, but remdesivir, pack, Slovid, molnipevir, all of 440 00:26:25,693 --> 00:26:31,453 Speaker 4: these pipeline patented pharmaceuticals, those, all these cheap, safe, effective, 441 00:26:31,493 --> 00:26:35,013 Speaker 4: repurpose therapies threaten them. And so what they do to 442 00:26:35,133 --> 00:26:40,653 Speaker 4: those therapies is they employ disinformation campaigns. And when I 443 00:26:40,693 --> 00:26:45,773 Speaker 4: first gave my testimony and ivermactin and the response to it, 444 00:26:45,813 --> 00:26:47,013 Speaker 4: I couldn't understand it. 445 00:26:47,053 --> 00:26:48,933 Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't know what was going on. 446 00:26:48,973 --> 00:26:51,333 Speaker 4: I thought this is more about just like people arguing 447 00:26:51,333 --> 00:26:53,933 Speaker 4: about wanting, you know, the best evidence. 448 00:26:53,493 --> 00:26:55,853 Speaker 3: And I thought it was more of a scientific argument. 449 00:26:56,493 --> 00:26:59,333 Speaker 4: And it was only four months after that when I 450 00:26:59,373 --> 00:27:02,293 Speaker 4: was still confused, although I started to get other signals 451 00:27:02,293 --> 00:27:05,453 Speaker 4: that there was something more nefarious than a scientific disagreement. 452 00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:08,973 Speaker 4: One of the first signs was my review paper, which 453 00:27:09,013 --> 00:27:12,653 Speaker 4: had been accepted for publication after passing three rounds of 454 00:27:12,733 --> 00:27:17,293 Speaker 4: rigorous peer review by senior scientists, three of them selected 455 00:27:17,293 --> 00:27:19,493 Speaker 4: from the NIH and CDC in the US. 456 00:27:20,693 --> 00:27:24,373 Speaker 3: The journal had accepted it for publication, but they wouldn't 457 00:27:24,693 --> 00:27:29,653 Speaker 3: publish it. And week after week went by, and I. 458 00:27:29,573 --> 00:27:33,053 Speaker 4: Was getting really disturbed by this because it was the 459 00:27:33,093 --> 00:27:35,893 Speaker 4: winter of twenty twenty twenty one, which was the highest 460 00:27:35,973 --> 00:27:39,653 Speaker 4: death rates in this country since before or since, I mean, 461 00:27:39,653 --> 00:27:42,973 Speaker 4: it was a wicked winter of death from COVID, and 462 00:27:43,053 --> 00:27:46,853 Speaker 4: they wouldn't publish my papers, and I finally I wrote 463 00:27:47,773 --> 00:27:50,573 Speaker 4: an accusatory email to the journal. I said, I suspect 464 00:27:50,613 --> 00:27:54,693 Speaker 4: scientific misconduct, and within a day the editor reached out 465 00:27:54,693 --> 00:27:58,093 Speaker 4: to my editor and we'd learned that they were retracting 466 00:27:58,253 --> 00:27:58,773 Speaker 4: the paper. 467 00:28:00,853 --> 00:28:03,653 Speaker 3: They were not going to publish it. Your question was answered, 468 00:28:04,373 --> 00:28:05,293 Speaker 3: My question was answered. 469 00:28:05,293 --> 00:28:07,933 Speaker 4: And that's when I finally realized I was up against something. 470 00:28:07,973 --> 00:28:10,413 Speaker 4: I didn't know what it was, but it wasn't good, 471 00:28:11,173 --> 00:28:15,333 Speaker 4: and it wasn't scientific, it wasn't humanitarian. I knew there 472 00:28:15,373 --> 00:28:18,613 Speaker 4: was a force that was working against what we were 473 00:28:18,653 --> 00:28:20,973 Speaker 4: trying to do, which has helped people in the world, 474 00:28:22,013 --> 00:28:24,733 Speaker 4: and so I started get the feeling like there was 475 00:28:24,733 --> 00:28:27,173 Speaker 4: something out there that was working against us. And that 476 00:28:27,453 --> 00:28:29,573 Speaker 4: was the first time when I realized. 477 00:28:29,213 --> 00:28:31,133 Speaker 3: This wasn't just a scientific argument. 478 00:28:32,933 --> 00:28:36,413 Speaker 4: And then what changed my life and which inspired that book, 479 00:28:37,013 --> 00:28:41,573 Speaker 4: was in March of twenty twenty one, so four months 480 00:28:41,613 --> 00:28:44,773 Speaker 4: after my testimony, I got an email one morning from 481 00:28:44,773 --> 00:28:48,013 Speaker 4: someone I didn't know. It was a two line email, 482 00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:51,333 Speaker 4: and it was from a guy named Professor William B. Grant, 483 00:28:51,373 --> 00:28:54,053 Speaker 4: and he's one of the most published researchers on vitamin 484 00:28:54,173 --> 00:28:57,653 Speaker 4: D in the world. And he wrote me an email 485 00:28:57,933 --> 00:29:01,293 Speaker 4: out of the blue, said, dear doctor Corey, what they're 486 00:29:01,413 --> 00:29:06,253 Speaker 4: doing to ivermectin. They've been doing to vitamin D for decades, 487 00:29:06,813 --> 00:29:09,053 Speaker 4: and he included a link to an article called the 488 00:29:09,173 --> 00:29:13,053 Speaker 4: Disinformation Playbook. And I was really intrigued by this email, 489 00:29:13,093 --> 00:29:15,733 Speaker 4: so I click on the article and I start reading 490 00:29:15,813 --> 00:29:18,293 Speaker 4: and it's written by an organization called the Union for 491 00:29:18,373 --> 00:29:22,333 Speaker 4: Concerns Scientists. It was written in twenty seventeen, before the pandemic, 492 00:29:22,973 --> 00:29:28,453 Speaker 4: and it outlines what industries do when science emergers that's 493 00:29:28,493 --> 00:29:32,413 Speaker 4: inconvenient to their interests. And they're named after American football plays. 494 00:29:32,453 --> 00:29:35,533 Speaker 4: It's like the fake, the fix, the screen, the blitz, 495 00:29:35,573 --> 00:29:39,493 Speaker 4: the diversion, And I'm reading the descriptions of these tactics 496 00:29:39,733 --> 00:29:42,933 Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh my god, Suddenly it's like I 497 00:29:42,933 --> 00:29:45,253 Speaker 4: had the teacher's addition to what was going on because 498 00:29:45,613 --> 00:29:48,533 Speaker 4: I had I had dozens of examples of each of 499 00:29:48,573 --> 00:29:52,693 Speaker 4: those tactics being deployed against ivermactin in the prior four months, 500 00:29:53,013 --> 00:29:55,693 Speaker 4: and I realized that I was like had a front 501 00:29:55,773 --> 00:29:59,013 Speaker 4: row seat and I was the target of a global 502 00:29:59,093 --> 00:30:04,213 Speaker 4: disinformation campaign against ivermactin. And that's kind of one of 503 00:30:04,253 --> 00:30:07,453 Speaker 4: the probably one of the biggest, not the only biggest 504 00:30:07,453 --> 00:30:09,693 Speaker 4: awakenings that the world that I thought I lived in 505 00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:14,333 Speaker 4: was operating by very different principles and forces. 506 00:30:15,453 --> 00:30:16,333 Speaker 2: How did that affect you? 507 00:30:19,773 --> 00:30:24,173 Speaker 4: Oh, it's an odd answer, but in a way, I 508 00:30:24,173 --> 00:30:27,013 Speaker 4: wouldn't say it made me happy, But yeah, I'm always 509 00:30:27,053 --> 00:30:30,093 Speaker 4: trying to figure out problems and understand ways to navigate 510 00:30:30,133 --> 00:30:30,413 Speaker 4: and go. 511 00:30:30,453 --> 00:30:31,493 Speaker 3: Forward and to help. 512 00:30:32,093 --> 00:30:35,973 Speaker 4: That article helped me really positively because now I felt 513 00:30:36,053 --> 00:30:39,013 Speaker 4: I understood the problem and what I was up against 514 00:30:39,693 --> 00:30:42,493 Speaker 4: and how I could maybe start to approach it because 515 00:30:42,533 --> 00:30:45,333 Speaker 4: I was really confused for four months. I started having 516 00:30:45,373 --> 00:30:48,893 Speaker 4: suspicions that there was something going on, and there's probably 517 00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:52,333 Speaker 4: people who didn't want IVERMAC them to be recommended for everyone. 518 00:30:52,533 --> 00:30:55,613 Speaker 4: But when I read that article, it really brought everything 519 00:30:55,733 --> 00:30:59,013 Speaker 4: to a sharp focus, and it was interesting about the 520 00:30:59,053 --> 00:31:03,333 Speaker 4: disinformation playbook. It was invented in the nineteen fifties by 521 00:31:03,373 --> 00:31:06,253 Speaker 4: a pr firm, so it was literally it's a playbook 522 00:31:06,253 --> 00:31:09,453 Speaker 4: put together by a public relations firm that was hired 523 00:31:09,573 --> 00:31:15,173 Speaker 4: by the tobacco industry. When science emerged that was inconvenient 524 00:31:15,253 --> 00:31:19,413 Speaker 4: to their interests, right, the science around cancer, and so 525 00:31:19,573 --> 00:31:24,453 Speaker 4: the disinformation around tobacco had been practiced for fifty years, 526 00:31:24,933 --> 00:31:28,893 Speaker 4: but the pharmaceutical industry have honed that to like an 527 00:31:28,933 --> 00:31:34,333 Speaker 4: assassin level. And the other thing is Fharma has more 528 00:31:34,373 --> 00:31:37,493 Speaker 4: control than tobacco because Farmer is one of the biggest 529 00:31:37,813 --> 00:31:43,453 Speaker 4: advertisers in the world, particularly in the United States tapers, televisions, 530 00:31:43,533 --> 00:31:46,333 Speaker 4: you know, not New Zealand, as I understand, but here 531 00:31:46,373 --> 00:31:46,773 Speaker 4: it is. 532 00:31:47,333 --> 00:31:52,293 Speaker 2: But third in the list of big expenders, oh for sure. 533 00:31:52,693 --> 00:31:56,133 Speaker 2: And in lobbying and congress, farmers number one. It's two 534 00:31:56,213 --> 00:32:00,333 Speaker 2: to three times the coal and gas budget, as I've understood, 535 00:32:00,413 --> 00:32:04,253 Speaker 2: the number one advertiser in American media. And so they 536 00:32:04,293 --> 00:32:08,693 Speaker 2: literally control all of the information sources. And so people 537 00:32:08,693 --> 00:32:14,053 Speaker 2: listen to media and television newspapers for like health guidance, 538 00:32:15,293 --> 00:32:18,373 Speaker 2: you're not going to hear any centing opinions. Then what's 539 00:32:18,373 --> 00:32:20,893 Speaker 2: in the interest of the pharmaceutal industry and why people 540 00:32:20,893 --> 00:32:22,013 Speaker 2: don't understand. 541 00:32:21,573 --> 00:32:26,253 Speaker 4: That to this day. I just I can't figure that out. 542 00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:29,773 Speaker 4: Why people have not figured that out well. 543 00:32:29,933 --> 00:32:34,773 Speaker 2: On a much smaller scale, it's it's not non existent, 544 00:32:35,133 --> 00:32:37,533 Speaker 2: if I might put it that way, not non existent 545 00:32:37,693 --> 00:32:42,693 Speaker 2: in this country. Uh, it's it's much smaller. But but 546 00:32:42,773 --> 00:32:45,453 Speaker 2: I know that that has happened, so I know of 547 00:32:45,573 --> 00:32:52,133 Speaker 2: somebody who was affected by it. Yeah, and advertising is 548 00:32:52,173 --> 00:32:54,253 Speaker 2: what keeps is what keeps the media going? 549 00:32:55,053 --> 00:32:58,493 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure here it's I think it's the scale 550 00:32:58,493 --> 00:33:02,213 Speaker 4: of their influence and powers is many magnitudes over what 551 00:33:02,293 --> 00:33:03,573 Speaker 4: it must be like in New Zealand. 552 00:33:03,613 --> 00:33:05,013 Speaker 3: But but the. 553 00:33:04,973 --> 00:33:07,893 Speaker 4: Thing is they don't necessarily just need to control the media. 554 00:33:07,933 --> 00:33:10,213 Speaker 4: And this is are now going from Old Pier to 555 00:33:10,293 --> 00:33:15,133 Speaker 4: New Pier. It's not just the media, it's the journals. 556 00:33:15,253 --> 00:33:17,173 Speaker 3: It's the medical journals themselves. 557 00:33:17,293 --> 00:33:20,213 Speaker 4: And I think the foundation for all of the fraud 558 00:33:20,253 --> 00:33:24,573 Speaker 4: in COVID, especially against early repurpose drugs like hydroxy coroquin 559 00:33:24,693 --> 00:33:29,093 Speaker 4: and ivermactin, it begins at the level of the high 560 00:33:29,173 --> 00:33:33,413 Speaker 4: impact medical journals. They're the ones that allowed the publication 561 00:33:33,573 --> 00:33:39,053 Speaker 4: of manipulated, fraudulent trials attacking those drugs. Once you have 562 00:33:39,173 --> 00:33:43,493 Speaker 4: those journals, those manuscripts published in those major journals, that's 563 00:33:43,493 --> 00:33:45,893 Speaker 4: the foundation for everything else that happens, because you don't 564 00:33:45,933 --> 00:33:48,773 Speaker 4: need the media at that point. Now that supports the 565 00:33:48,773 --> 00:33:52,213 Speaker 4: health agencies. So the health agency, look, we're looking at 566 00:33:52,213 --> 00:33:54,733 Speaker 4: the best science, the British Medical Journal, you know, the 567 00:33:54,773 --> 00:33:56,813 Speaker 4: New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American 568 00:33:56,853 --> 00:34:00,853 Speaker 4: Medical Association. They say, hydroxychlorcon doesn't work, ivermactin doesn't work. 569 00:34:00,893 --> 00:34:02,893 Speaker 3: And so I was watching this. 570 00:34:03,253 --> 00:34:07,733 Speaker 4: Global fraud with millions dying because they weren't having access 571 00:34:07,773 --> 00:34:10,293 Speaker 4: to early treat and drugs. And so when you ask 572 00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:13,293 Speaker 4: me first how that felt when I read the disinformation playbook, 573 00:34:14,373 --> 00:34:17,013 Speaker 4: as I after I learned Decision Lead, and it started 574 00:34:17,013 --> 00:34:21,693 Speaker 4: to see what the consequences of this massive disinformation was 575 00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:28,733 Speaker 4: and how much destruction they achieved and the humanitarian catastrophe 576 00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:33,493 Speaker 4: that unfolded, which is needless deaths worldwide. And then I'm 577 00:34:33,493 --> 00:34:35,893 Speaker 4: going to have to bring in another difficult topic. That 578 00:34:36,213 --> 00:34:41,493 Speaker 4: same disinformation campaign against early treatment DOUGS was employed to 579 00:34:41,653 --> 00:34:45,653 Speaker 4: prop up the most toxic and lethal intervention in the 580 00:34:45,693 --> 00:34:48,933 Speaker 4: history of medicine, which is these mRNA vaccines. I don't 581 00:34:48,933 --> 00:34:50,933 Speaker 4: want to detract from the ironmatin thing, but I have 582 00:34:51,013 --> 00:34:54,053 Speaker 4: to tell you I watched that same campaign prop up 583 00:34:54,093 --> 00:34:56,813 Speaker 4: the vaccines, and so it was like a double whammy. 584 00:34:57,093 --> 00:35:00,493 Speaker 4: And all I want to say laden is COVID would 585 00:35:00,533 --> 00:35:04,653 Speaker 4: have been over early on, or it would not have 586 00:35:04,733 --> 00:35:09,133 Speaker 4: been this major worldwide catastrophe that it was had science 587 00:35:09,213 --> 00:35:16,053 Speaker 4: not been so controlled, corrupted and manipulated to make billions 588 00:35:16,053 --> 00:35:18,893 Speaker 4: of dollars. I mean, look at the billions they made 589 00:35:18,933 --> 00:35:21,733 Speaker 4: off of vaccines rem dec of the I don't know 590 00:35:21,733 --> 00:35:23,653 Speaker 4: if they use reum descritate in New Zealand most of 591 00:35:23,653 --> 00:35:28,213 Speaker 4: the world. They did here they did, even despite the 592 00:35:28,373 --> 00:35:31,333 Speaker 4: WHO saying it didn't work, which was really bizarre to me. 593 00:35:31,773 --> 00:35:35,613 Speaker 4: Like it's it's infused into every COVID patient's arm in 594 00:35:35,653 --> 00:35:38,573 Speaker 4: the United States, and it's a worthless drug. It has 595 00:35:38,693 --> 00:35:41,933 Speaker 4: no logical sense for working. The data the shows that 596 00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:47,173 Speaker 4: it works is manipulated, and so like I basically Layton, 597 00:35:48,213 --> 00:35:50,573 Speaker 4: I based, you know, from from the comfortable world that 598 00:35:50,613 --> 00:35:50,973 Speaker 4: I thought. 599 00:35:51,053 --> 00:35:53,053 Speaker 3: We thought we were. 600 00:35:53,013 --> 00:35:56,813 Speaker 4: Organized and respected and followed certain rules and medical ethics, 601 00:35:56,893 --> 00:35:58,973 Speaker 4: and it was somewhat of an orderly world that I 602 00:35:59,013 --> 00:36:01,933 Speaker 4: thought I lived in. Obviously with with evil and violence 603 00:36:01,973 --> 00:36:04,693 Speaker 4: and all those things, but I thought the institutions were 604 00:36:05,173 --> 00:36:09,293 Speaker 4: marshaled against that to it to you know, a few 605 00:36:09,373 --> 00:36:11,933 Speaker 4: years into COVID, I realized I lived in a dystopian 606 00:36:11,973 --> 00:36:15,093 Speaker 4: world where the institutions on their face look like they're 607 00:36:15,133 --> 00:36:20,133 Speaker 4: doing the right thing. Behind the scenes, they were basically 608 00:36:20,253 --> 00:36:25,293 Speaker 4: creating actions and policies that were directly harmful to not 609 00:36:25,333 --> 00:36:29,413 Speaker 4: only my country's citizenry, but countries around the world. And 610 00:36:29,413 --> 00:36:32,173 Speaker 4: I would say the western and most media saturated in advance, 611 00:36:32,213 --> 00:36:33,493 Speaker 4: like the advanced health economies of the. 612 00:36:33,493 --> 00:36:35,533 Speaker 3: World, they did the worst. 613 00:36:36,093 --> 00:36:40,173 Speaker 4: They were the most manipulated and also the most profitable. 614 00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:44,413 Speaker 4: And so it basically I realized I lived in a 615 00:36:44,413 --> 00:36:45,733 Speaker 4: different world than I thought I lived in. 616 00:36:46,493 --> 00:36:48,853 Speaker 2: Now would be a good time, I think, to introduce 617 00:36:48,973 --> 00:36:54,733 Speaker 2: the tourist who was well over wait and came into 618 00:36:54,813 --> 00:37:02,893 Speaker 2: your hospital. Yeah, and you took care of him. Yeah, 619 00:37:03,293 --> 00:37:04,333 Speaker 2: just tell us the detail. 620 00:37:05,373 --> 00:37:07,973 Speaker 4: Now, are you referring to the patient who I discovered 621 00:37:08,093 --> 00:37:09,293 Speaker 4: was fully vaccinated? 622 00:37:11,133 --> 00:37:13,173 Speaker 2: This was a guy who was I con't remember it. 623 00:37:13,853 --> 00:37:16,533 Speaker 2: This is the guy who was was why I were white. 624 00:37:16,733 --> 00:37:17,613 Speaker 2: He was a tourist. 625 00:37:20,613 --> 00:37:23,413 Speaker 4: Oh, so that was around ivermactin that so that wasn't 626 00:37:23,493 --> 00:37:25,893 Speaker 4: my page. I'm not sure, because there's there's a couple 627 00:37:25,893 --> 00:37:28,973 Speaker 4: of instances of positions that I used to begin some 628 00:37:29,093 --> 00:37:29,933 Speaker 4: topics in my book. 629 00:37:29,933 --> 00:37:34,653 Speaker 3: But was that It may have been because. 630 00:37:34,453 --> 00:37:36,453 Speaker 2: I think because I'm pretty I'm pretty sure now that 631 00:37:36,493 --> 00:37:39,493 Speaker 2: he actually mentioned in our discussion. 632 00:37:40,253 --> 00:37:41,693 Speaker 3: But this was around Ivermactin. 633 00:37:41,933 --> 00:37:45,853 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, So, so the instance that I use is 634 00:37:45,893 --> 00:37:50,613 Speaker 4: that in my research on Ivermactin, not only did we 635 00:37:50,613 --> 00:37:53,093 Speaker 4: start seeing all these trials, but I realized that the 636 00:37:53,253 --> 00:37:59,013 Speaker 4: first paper that showed the incredible evidence of kfcy of 637 00:37:59,053 --> 00:38:03,253 Speaker 4: Ivermactin was actually a case series from the Dominican Republic 638 00:38:03,653 --> 00:38:06,453 Speaker 4: which was posted on a preprint server in June of 639 00:38:06,533 --> 00:38:08,973 Speaker 4: twenty twenty. That that goes back to the statement I 640 00:38:09,013 --> 00:38:11,093 Speaker 4: just made too late, and is that COVID would have 641 00:38:11,213 --> 00:38:15,333 Speaker 4: never been an issue if we were like objective, reasonable, 642 00:38:15,453 --> 00:38:19,573 Speaker 4: pragmatic and looking at all evidence equally. But what happened 643 00:38:19,613 --> 00:38:22,213 Speaker 4: in the Dominican Republic is in March of twenty twenty. 644 00:38:22,213 --> 00:38:24,893 Speaker 4: Remember March of twenty twenty. This is when COVID was 645 00:38:24,933 --> 00:38:28,293 Speaker 4: just beginning. There's this really So what happened is the 646 00:38:28,413 --> 00:38:32,453 Speaker 4: lead author of that case series, which had immense difficulty 647 00:38:32,453 --> 00:38:34,933 Speaker 4: getting published, which is another thing I don't want to 648 00:38:34,973 --> 00:38:38,653 Speaker 4: go backwards into corruption. But not only were the journals 649 00:38:38,693 --> 00:38:45,053 Speaker 4: publishing manipulated trials with pre determined results, they were. 650 00:38:44,893 --> 00:38:47,733 Speaker 3: Rejecting and retracting any. 651 00:38:47,653 --> 00:38:52,893 Speaker 4: Science which advanced or support of alternative cheap therapies. And 652 00:38:52,973 --> 00:38:56,373 Speaker 4: so the first time they posted their paper was in 653 00:38:56,453 --> 00:38:57,933 Speaker 4: June of twenty twenty. I think it took them a 654 00:38:58,013 --> 00:39:01,253 Speaker 4: year to publish it in like some tertiary journal. But 655 00:39:01,333 --> 00:39:04,093 Speaker 4: I ended up becoming in contact with the lead author, 656 00:39:05,013 --> 00:39:07,333 Speaker 4: and I even know when I was in Dominican Republic. 657 00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:08,933 Speaker 3: Is that's the place that I would go vacation. 658 00:39:09,413 --> 00:39:12,013 Speaker 4: I got to meet up with him and we had 659 00:39:12,093 --> 00:39:15,093 Speaker 4: drinks one night and he told me this the origin 660 00:39:15,253 --> 00:39:17,973 Speaker 4: story of his discovery of ivermactin in COVID, and that 661 00:39:18,053 --> 00:39:21,453 Speaker 4: was in March of twenty twenty. He said that he 662 00:39:21,773 --> 00:39:24,133 Speaker 4: owned a series of clinics in the Minia Republic and 663 00:39:24,173 --> 00:39:26,213 Speaker 4: he got a call one night from a doctor who 664 00:39:26,253 --> 00:39:30,213 Speaker 4: was on call and had just admitted some overweight I 665 00:39:30,213 --> 00:39:33,373 Speaker 4: think it was an American tourist who was hypoxic on oxygen, 666 00:39:33,533 --> 00:39:34,333 Speaker 4: not looking good. 667 00:39:35,573 --> 00:39:36,133 Speaker 3: Was that the story? 668 00:39:36,213 --> 00:39:39,933 Speaker 4: Yeah, but this is like the origin story, and so 669 00:39:40,093 --> 00:39:43,373 Speaker 4: he you know, the doctor calls and says, hey, you know, 670 00:39:43,453 --> 00:39:44,813 Speaker 4: this guy's looking really bad. 671 00:39:45,213 --> 00:39:46,453 Speaker 3: He's like, what do you think we should do? 672 00:39:46,613 --> 00:39:50,053 Speaker 4: And the doctor apparently had researched or known about ivermactin 673 00:39:50,093 --> 00:39:53,373 Speaker 4: as an anti viral, and so he asked his essential 674 00:39:53,453 --> 00:39:57,733 Speaker 4: boss for permission to treat the guy with ivermactin. And 675 00:39:58,013 --> 00:40:00,893 Speaker 4: so doctor Radondo, who is my colleague who I was 676 00:40:00,933 --> 00:40:04,053 Speaker 4: talking to at this time. Doctor Dondo, in his account 677 00:40:04,053 --> 00:40:06,413 Speaker 4: he said, you know what, I convened our committee, you know, 678 00:40:06,453 --> 00:40:08,813 Speaker 4: because they, you know, his clinics had one, like a 679 00:40:08,853 --> 00:40:13,293 Speaker 4: therapeutic committee. He said, I consulted them and we discussed 680 00:40:13,293 --> 00:40:16,253 Speaker 4: the case, and we understood the gravity of this patient. 681 00:40:16,853 --> 00:40:19,693 Speaker 4: And I called the doctor back who was on call, 682 00:40:19,773 --> 00:40:23,093 Speaker 4: and I said, you have we're giving you permission to 683 00:40:23,133 --> 00:40:26,533 Speaker 4: treat him with ivermectin, and the doctor replied, thanks, I 684 00:40:26,573 --> 00:40:31,333 Speaker 4: gave it to him an hour ago, which I always loved, 685 00:40:30,853 --> 00:40:33,413 Speaker 4: so the doctor of vision. But the point of that 686 00:40:33,493 --> 00:40:38,413 Speaker 4: story was the guy rapidly improved overnight, and I think 687 00:40:38,453 --> 00:40:41,013 Speaker 4: he got discharged the next day off oxygen. 688 00:40:41,053 --> 00:40:43,253 Speaker 3: So it was like this dramatic response. 689 00:40:44,013 --> 00:40:47,573 Speaker 4: And so after that first patient, they quickly developed a protocol. 690 00:40:47,653 --> 00:40:50,613 Speaker 4: They treated everyone in their urgent cares and emergency rooms 691 00:40:50,613 --> 00:40:53,133 Speaker 4: with avermeactin. They did this for months, and then in 692 00:40:53,213 --> 00:40:57,293 Speaker 4: June twenty twenty they reported on thirty three hundred patients 693 00:40:58,213 --> 00:41:02,493 Speaker 4: treated with iver maactin on arrival to any of their facilities, 694 00:41:03,173 --> 00:41:06,533 Speaker 4: and out of the thirty three hundred patients, they had 695 00:41:06,653 --> 00:41:09,613 Speaker 4: sixteen hospitalizations and two deaths. 696 00:41:10,573 --> 00:41:12,213 Speaker 3: Two deaths out. 697 00:41:12,013 --> 00:41:15,213 Speaker 4: Of thirty three hundred patients arriving at an urgency at 698 00:41:15,533 --> 00:41:17,333 Speaker 4: urgent cares and emergency. 699 00:41:16,893 --> 00:41:19,613 Speaker 3: Rooms, which is a dramatic result. 700 00:41:20,293 --> 00:41:24,373 Speaker 4: And anyway, that's where that adnecdote came from. But the 701 00:41:24,413 --> 00:41:27,173 Speaker 4: point of that story is, like that paper showed up 702 00:41:27,173 --> 00:41:29,493 Speaker 4: on a preprint server of June to twenty twenty. There's 703 00:41:29,533 --> 00:41:32,133 Speaker 4: no advanced health economy in the world that was monitoring 704 00:41:32,173 --> 00:41:36,733 Speaker 4: preprints looking for data that possibly showed early evidence of 705 00:41:36,733 --> 00:41:38,973 Speaker 4: the efficacy. So even if they were interested, they could 706 00:41:38,973 --> 00:41:42,413 Speaker 4: have done an immediate trial, whatever evidence based medicine standards 707 00:41:42,413 --> 00:41:44,533 Speaker 4: they wanted to do, they could have done that, but 708 00:41:44,533 --> 00:41:46,413 Speaker 4: there was no efforts of doing that. There was no 709 00:41:46,573 --> 00:41:51,133 Speaker 4: efforts at looking at available repurpose drugs. Everything was about 710 00:41:51,173 --> 00:41:56,613 Speaker 4: testing pricey patented pharmaceuticals. And so I knew the whole 711 00:41:56,653 --> 00:41:59,133 Speaker 4: gig was up. I mean, eventually I figured it out, 712 00:41:59,173 --> 00:42:02,853 Speaker 4: like repurpose drugs are the Achilles heel. And you know 713 00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:05,453 Speaker 4: what I mean my repurpose right, it's off patent drugs 714 00:42:05,973 --> 00:42:07,933 Speaker 4: or drugs that have been proved for one indication that 715 00:42:07,973 --> 00:42:10,253 Speaker 4: you find now that's really effective in another. 716 00:42:10,813 --> 00:42:12,333 Speaker 3: Whereas Farmer doesn't like that. 717 00:42:12,613 --> 00:42:14,493 Speaker 4: With every disease, they want to come up with new 718 00:42:14,573 --> 00:42:18,573 Speaker 4: stuff that's on patent that is immensely profitable. So they 719 00:42:18,613 --> 00:42:21,773 Speaker 4: do not like off patent repurpose drugs being used to 720 00:42:21,813 --> 00:42:24,453 Speaker 4: treat anything because there's no money in it, which is 721 00:42:24,493 --> 00:42:28,133 Speaker 4: actually false. There is money you could make a profit, 722 00:42:28,613 --> 00:42:33,573 Speaker 4: you just can't make absurd obscene profits that that industry 723 00:42:33,653 --> 00:42:36,853 Speaker 4: is used to. That industry is a criminal syndicate. That's 724 00:42:36,893 --> 00:42:38,933 Speaker 4: also the other thing I've learned in these five years 725 00:42:39,053 --> 00:42:41,573 Speaker 4: is I've studied the pharmacuit industry. I've looked at their 726 00:42:41,693 --> 00:42:46,933 Speaker 4: history of criminal finds, civil finds. They operate with impunity. 727 00:42:47,013 --> 00:42:51,133 Speaker 4: They are constantly being sued and found guilty for the 728 00:42:51,133 --> 00:42:55,413 Speaker 4: most nefarious actions in the world, and yet again people 729 00:42:55,453 --> 00:42:56,653 Speaker 4: seem unaware of that. 730 00:42:59,093 --> 00:43:02,213 Speaker 2: Is it that they don't want to know? Is is 731 00:43:02,293 --> 00:43:04,293 Speaker 2: it that that I want to believe that, I want 732 00:43:04,333 --> 00:43:07,453 Speaker 2: to that, I want to steer themselves off. Course. 733 00:43:08,493 --> 00:43:12,493 Speaker 4: No, No, it's much cruder and coarser and simpler than that, 734 00:43:12,533 --> 00:43:16,733 Speaker 4: and it's much more base than that. They know, they 735 00:43:17,133 --> 00:43:22,213 Speaker 4: absolutely know they are an industry that works for their shareholders, 736 00:43:22,373 --> 00:43:26,173 Speaker 4: not for their patients. They see this as a business marketplace. 737 00:43:26,413 --> 00:43:31,053 Speaker 4: They see competitive threats and they destroy them. Iver Mactin 738 00:43:31,573 --> 00:43:34,813 Speaker 4: was a competitor to all of their products, and it 739 00:43:34,893 --> 00:43:38,013 Speaker 4: got destroyed and they used all the powers that they 740 00:43:38,253 --> 00:43:43,573 Speaker 4: could marshal. Hydroxychloroquin the same, and there's also a lot 741 00:43:43,613 --> 00:43:45,493 Speaker 4: of others, but those were the two most prominent, and 742 00:43:45,533 --> 00:43:48,173 Speaker 4: those are the two that they most deployed their resources 743 00:43:48,173 --> 00:43:48,733 Speaker 4: and attacking. 744 00:43:50,293 --> 00:43:52,013 Speaker 2: What's the I'm trying to think of the name of 745 00:43:52,053 --> 00:43:56,853 Speaker 2: the of the surgeon in Newcastle Hospital in Australia, who's 746 00:43:56,973 --> 00:44:01,373 Speaker 2: who's been mettling this. There are medicos in this part 747 00:44:01,413 --> 00:44:05,053 Speaker 2: of the world, Australasia who have who have made stands. 748 00:44:05,813 --> 00:44:08,933 Speaker 2: And another one I interviewed right at the very beginning 749 00:44:08,973 --> 00:44:14,573 Speaker 2: of all this, and he was so onto it, so well, 750 00:44:14,733 --> 00:44:17,893 Speaker 2: not just convincing, but he was so backed up by 751 00:44:19,013 --> 00:44:23,533 Speaker 2: what he knew and how he knew it that I 752 00:44:23,613 --> 00:44:29,253 Speaker 2: undertook an attempt to introduce him to some well shure, 753 00:44:29,253 --> 00:44:33,693 Speaker 2: we say political people here. No nobody wanted to know. No, 754 00:44:34,013 --> 00:44:37,813 Speaker 2: not interested, not interested. Now but when you but when 755 00:44:37,853 --> 00:44:41,413 Speaker 2: you when you understand, of course, the nature of the 756 00:44:41,413 --> 00:44:43,853 Speaker 2: people who were running the country at that time, starting 757 00:44:43,893 --> 00:44:46,933 Speaker 2: with the top of the beehive, which is where the 758 00:44:46,973 --> 00:44:51,973 Speaker 2: government is the queen bee. If you want, you understand 759 00:44:52,093 --> 00:44:53,373 Speaker 2: why they didn't want to know. 760 00:44:54,813 --> 00:44:58,533 Speaker 4: They all obey. And this is might be trait might 761 00:44:58,573 --> 00:45:01,733 Speaker 4: be a little bit too explosive, but they all obey. 762 00:45:01,773 --> 00:45:04,293 Speaker 4: What I discover is that you know, well, I always 763 00:45:04,413 --> 00:45:09,213 Speaker 4: knew that humans, we are creatures of incentives. We all 764 00:45:09,253 --> 00:45:13,333 Speaker 4: respond to incentives, whether they'd be positive or negative. And 765 00:45:13,373 --> 00:45:16,173 Speaker 4: what I came to find out is that everyone seems 766 00:45:16,213 --> 00:45:19,293 Speaker 4: to work for their masters. Because the one central thing 767 00:45:19,293 --> 00:45:21,293 Speaker 4: that I took away, which is the most disappointing with 768 00:45:21,413 --> 00:45:23,613 Speaker 4: what I learned about humanity and COVID. 769 00:45:24,293 --> 00:45:30,213 Speaker 3: Is that the desire to remaine employed is paramount. 770 00:45:30,573 --> 00:45:34,693 Speaker 4: People will not blow up their careers over ethical. 771 00:45:34,333 --> 00:45:37,213 Speaker 3: Or moral objections even though they know harm. 772 00:45:37,013 --> 00:45:42,853 Speaker 4: Is being caused. You did they protect themselves? Well, here's 773 00:45:42,893 --> 00:45:45,053 Speaker 4: the difference. I don't want to call myself a hero. 774 00:45:45,013 --> 00:45:48,573 Speaker 3: Because really, I'll I'll do that for you. 775 00:45:48,613 --> 00:45:51,333 Speaker 4: No, no, because I don't think it's correct. 776 00:45:51,733 --> 00:45:54,733 Speaker 3: I was just early, so I was naive. 777 00:45:55,493 --> 00:45:58,293 Speaker 4: If I knew what would befall me, I'd like to 778 00:45:58,373 --> 00:46:01,173 Speaker 4: tell you I would have done the same thing. But 779 00:46:01,493 --> 00:46:03,813 Speaker 4: it's different for doctors who came after me, because they 780 00:46:03,853 --> 00:46:07,573 Speaker 4: saw what happened to me, and so they'd have to 781 00:46:08,133 --> 00:46:12,813 Speaker 4: really willingly commit career suicide. Which is when I did 782 00:46:12,813 --> 00:46:15,053 Speaker 4: what I was doing. I didn't think I would get 783 00:46:15,573 --> 00:46:20,813 Speaker 4: career honors or you know, awards, But I didn't think 784 00:46:20,853 --> 00:46:22,333 Speaker 4: what was going to happen to my life was going 785 00:46:22,373 --> 00:46:25,933 Speaker 4: to happen. So I went in with naivete, not heroism. 786 00:46:26,733 --> 00:46:30,333 Speaker 4: That's just my honest assessment. But even when after though, 787 00:46:30,373 --> 00:46:32,893 Speaker 4: I will, I'll give myself credit for this, even when 788 00:46:32,893 --> 00:46:36,253 Speaker 4: my life started going sideways because of that, and which 789 00:46:36,253 --> 00:46:38,973 Speaker 4: shocked me because I'd always been celebrated in my field. 790 00:46:39,093 --> 00:46:40,093 Speaker 3: By the way, I was very well. 791 00:46:40,773 --> 00:46:43,853 Speaker 4: Hopefully this doesn't come across egotisto, but I was a 792 00:46:43,933 --> 00:46:46,213 Speaker 4: very prominent physician in my own right. In my specialty, 793 00:46:46,253 --> 00:46:48,893 Speaker 4: I was known as a global pioneer for a sub 794 00:46:48,933 --> 00:46:52,093 Speaker 4: especially called critical care ulcure snography I'd written a textbook 795 00:46:52,093 --> 00:46:55,093 Speaker 4: that was published in seven languages. I traveled the country 796 00:46:55,093 --> 00:46:56,773 Speaker 4: and world teaching my specialty. 797 00:46:57,893 --> 00:46:58,973 Speaker 2: By the way, don't forget that. 798 00:46:59,333 --> 00:47:02,333 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I was like really well known and well published, 799 00:47:02,373 --> 00:47:05,613 Speaker 4: and you know, I've been recruited by a top research university. 800 00:47:05,653 --> 00:47:08,093 Speaker 4: I was like their head clinician and critical care. I 801 00:47:08,133 --> 00:47:11,333 Speaker 4: was a major clinical leader in that institution. So you know, 802 00:47:11,373 --> 00:47:14,853 Speaker 4: the fall from Grace was pretty far and fast. But 803 00:47:16,213 --> 00:47:19,653 Speaker 4: even as that fall began to happen, I wasn't going 804 00:47:19,733 --> 00:47:21,973 Speaker 4: to change tactics. I was like, oh, you want to 805 00:47:21,973 --> 00:47:24,493 Speaker 4: do this, I'm coming right back at you. And I thought, 806 00:47:24,533 --> 00:47:27,453 Speaker 4: however I could, I had my nonprofit. I just kept 807 00:47:27,453 --> 00:47:30,573 Speaker 4: putting out truths, putting out what I've always done, which 808 00:47:30,613 --> 00:47:33,853 Speaker 4: is teaching what I know, researching what I don't know, 809 00:47:34,013 --> 00:47:37,093 Speaker 4: and then disseminating that. And the more I did that, 810 00:47:37,173 --> 00:47:40,853 Speaker 4: the more stuff happened to me. And look, Layton, you 811 00:47:40,893 --> 00:47:43,733 Speaker 4: were just mentioning a prominent doctor. I guess that prominent 812 00:47:43,733 --> 00:47:46,733 Speaker 4: doctor was also trying to speak truth. Did they get punished? 813 00:47:47,333 --> 00:47:52,693 Speaker 2: To be honest, I can't answer that. He is still 814 00:47:52,853 --> 00:47:54,133 Speaker 2: in his position. 815 00:47:54,573 --> 00:47:57,413 Speaker 4: Okay, But if he was advocating for things that went 816 00:47:57,653 --> 00:48:00,693 Speaker 4: that was dissenting with this, and I'm using air quotes here. 817 00:48:00,813 --> 00:48:03,093 Speaker 3: Consensus that was the other thing. 818 00:48:03,133 --> 00:48:06,853 Speaker 4: I realized that scientific consensus, whether it be in medicine 819 00:48:07,093 --> 00:48:11,773 Speaker 4: or in climate or anything, is a manufactured consensus. You 820 00:48:11,813 --> 00:48:17,333 Speaker 4: cannot reach consensus without deep influence of economic interests, because 821 00:48:17,333 --> 00:48:20,773 Speaker 4: if you come up with a consensus that is scientifically 822 00:48:20,813 --> 00:48:25,333 Speaker 4: inconvenient to the prevailing economic interest, they will make sure 823 00:48:25,413 --> 00:48:29,573 Speaker 4: that doesn't happen. And so now I'm talking a little 824 00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:32,533 Speaker 4: bit outside of medicine, but certainly in medicine. I realized 825 00:48:32,533 --> 00:48:35,453 Speaker 4: that the guidelines that I'd followed for treatment of diseases, 826 00:48:35,573 --> 00:48:39,813 Speaker 4: for everything in medicine is that they're largely controlled and manufactured. 827 00:48:39,853 --> 00:48:40,733 Speaker 3: And so. 828 00:48:42,493 --> 00:48:45,213 Speaker 4: Maybe demoralization is a strong word, maybe it's not, but 829 00:48:45,493 --> 00:48:49,293 Speaker 4: I will say this, I'm I'm a physician, a strained 830 00:48:50,013 --> 00:48:55,693 Speaker 4: estranged from allopathic medicine. I will say I got excommunicated. 831 00:48:56,293 --> 00:48:59,733 Speaker 4: Luckily I'm still in practice. I'm in private practice. I'm 832 00:48:59,733 --> 00:49:03,333 Speaker 4: a fee based I don't take insurance. The sadness of 833 00:49:03,373 --> 00:49:05,693 Speaker 4: that is not everyone can see me or afford to 834 00:49:05,733 --> 00:49:08,093 Speaker 4: see me. But the beauty in that is I get 835 00:49:08,133 --> 00:49:09,533 Speaker 4: to practice medicine as. 836 00:49:09,453 --> 00:49:12,133 Speaker 3: I see fit. I can do whatever I want. 837 00:49:12,173 --> 00:49:14,573 Speaker 4: I can employ different therapies, I can try whatever I 838 00:49:14,573 --> 00:49:18,013 Speaker 4: want to help patients. And I've learned so much about medicine. 839 00:49:18,053 --> 00:49:20,693 Speaker 4: I am so free and more inspired as a physician 840 00:49:20,733 --> 00:49:21,573 Speaker 4: than I've ever been. 841 00:49:22,893 --> 00:49:24,013 Speaker 3: And that's just me today. 842 00:49:24,053 --> 00:49:26,533 Speaker 4: And so part of what I just told you is 843 00:49:27,173 --> 00:49:30,613 Speaker 4: that fall from Grace was really turbulent and difficult. I 844 00:49:30,693 --> 00:49:33,413 Speaker 4: lost income sources along the way. I have three children. 845 00:49:33,573 --> 00:49:35,493 Speaker 4: By the way, we pay for college in this country, 846 00:49:35,533 --> 00:49:38,613 Speaker 4: and it's really expensive. I have three daughters. 847 00:49:38,173 --> 00:49:39,013 Speaker 3: That you know. 848 00:49:39,093 --> 00:49:41,893 Speaker 4: Like when my income got cut off, I mean it 849 00:49:41,933 --> 00:49:43,333 Speaker 4: was scary. I mean I have a house, I have 850 00:49:43,413 --> 00:49:45,853 Speaker 4: a mortgage, I have all those things. But luckily, in 851 00:49:45,893 --> 00:49:48,813 Speaker 4: my case, I landed on my feet. There's many other 852 00:49:48,893 --> 00:49:51,693 Speaker 4: doctors who didn't have the profile or didn't recover the 853 00:49:51,693 --> 00:49:55,933 Speaker 4: way I did, who've lost their licenses and livelihoods for 854 00:49:56,053 --> 00:49:58,973 Speaker 4: doing things as simple as treating people with ivermactin based 855 00:49:58,973 --> 00:50:02,413 Speaker 4: on the science and the rationale for it. And let 856 00:50:02,493 --> 00:50:04,853 Speaker 4: me just go back to the Disinformation Playbook and those 857 00:50:04,893 --> 00:50:08,253 Speaker 4: five five football plays. 858 00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:09,573 Speaker 3: The football play called. 859 00:50:09,413 --> 00:50:12,573 Speaker 4: The blitz, that's when the attackers go after the quarterback. 860 00:50:14,013 --> 00:50:17,453 Speaker 4: The blitz in the Disinformation Playbook is when they go 861 00:50:17,613 --> 00:50:23,493 Speaker 4: after researchers who are producing the science that's inconvenient. And 862 00:50:23,533 --> 00:50:26,173 Speaker 4: that's why when I read that article that day, I 863 00:50:26,333 --> 00:50:28,213 Speaker 4: realized that I'd been blitzed. 864 00:50:28,373 --> 00:50:29,773 Speaker 3: Paul Merrick had been blitzed. 865 00:50:30,173 --> 00:50:33,493 Speaker 4: And there's like decades of evidence of various scientists. When 866 00:50:33,493 --> 00:50:36,893 Speaker 4: you come out with a contrarian opinion, you get blitzed. 867 00:50:37,573 --> 00:50:40,893 Speaker 4: And I saw doctors all over the world, Canada, US, 868 00:50:40,893 --> 00:50:43,413 Speaker 4: every and by the way, I have devoted immense amounts 869 00:50:43,453 --> 00:50:46,613 Speaker 4: of time to defending them in their core cases, in 870 00:50:46,653 --> 00:50:49,333 Speaker 4: their hearings with medical boards where they're trying to get 871 00:50:49,333 --> 00:50:52,853 Speaker 4: their licenses, trying to argue for them, showing that the 872 00:50:52,933 --> 00:50:56,973 Speaker 4: science supported everything they did. I will tell you it 873 00:50:57,013 --> 00:51:00,533 Speaker 4: doesn't work. That's the other thing. They weaponized, not only 874 00:51:00,573 --> 00:51:04,093 Speaker 4: the media, the journals, the agencies, but also the medical 875 00:51:04,133 --> 00:51:07,773 Speaker 4: boards and so doctors with contrarian aprisonances, no matter how 876 00:51:07,853 --> 00:51:11,733 Speaker 4: scientifically base it is, they will go after you. Keep 877 00:51:11,773 --> 00:51:15,053 Speaker 4: it in keep in line, or you're gone. And that's 878 00:51:15,093 --> 00:51:17,933 Speaker 4: the sadness because the persecution of me and my colleagues 879 00:51:17,933 --> 00:51:20,733 Speaker 4: and what happened to our careers, I don't think it 880 00:51:20,773 --> 00:51:23,293 Speaker 4: was meant to personally punish us. It was to make 881 00:51:23,533 --> 00:51:27,213 Speaker 4: us an example because we were the most public and 882 00:51:27,253 --> 00:51:29,693 Speaker 4: they wanted to take us down. And I think that's 883 00:51:29,733 --> 00:51:31,933 Speaker 4: to send a message to any other doctor who wants 884 00:51:31,933 --> 00:51:35,613 Speaker 4: to step out of line. And it worked, and it works. Yeah, 885 00:51:35,813 --> 00:51:37,573 Speaker 4: you have com client doctors all over the world. 886 00:51:37,973 --> 00:51:40,293 Speaker 2: Now, now it would be a good time to just 887 00:51:40,413 --> 00:51:41,173 Speaker 2: change gears. 888 00:51:41,933 --> 00:51:42,213 Speaker 3: Sure. 889 00:51:42,853 --> 00:51:45,733 Speaker 2: The story of Andy Hill and the World Health Organization, 890 00:51:46,053 --> 00:51:49,093 Speaker 2: Oh boy. I found this to be because I haven't 891 00:51:49,133 --> 00:51:52,413 Speaker 2: read the entire book, and I've dipped in and out 892 00:51:52,413 --> 00:51:55,213 Speaker 2: of what interested me, and I found this chapter to 893 00:51:55,293 --> 00:51:57,813 Speaker 2: be the most fascinating. 894 00:51:59,133 --> 00:51:59,373 Speaker 3: Yep. 895 00:52:00,573 --> 00:52:02,453 Speaker 2: If you don't if you don't like that, you don't 896 00:52:02,493 --> 00:52:05,373 Speaker 2: agree with me, then that's only because I haven't really 897 00:52:05,533 --> 00:52:07,933 Speaker 2: read some of the others that Well. 898 00:52:08,333 --> 00:52:09,333 Speaker 3: Here's the thing, here's the thing. 899 00:52:09,373 --> 00:52:11,653 Speaker 4: I'm just going to go back to the Disinformation Playbook, right, 900 00:52:11,653 --> 00:52:14,693 Speaker 4: So it's five plays each and every one of them 901 00:52:14,693 --> 00:52:18,773 Speaker 4: are devastating and I and as you probably can tell, 902 00:52:18,853 --> 00:52:22,573 Speaker 4: like my book is thematically structured around that article to 903 00:52:22,573 --> 00:52:26,053 Speaker 4: called the Disinformation Playbook. Because when I got that email 904 00:52:26,093 --> 00:52:29,813 Speaker 4: that day and I read that article, I realized that's 905 00:52:29,853 --> 00:52:32,173 Speaker 4: what's going on in the world, and I said, I 906 00:52:32,213 --> 00:52:35,693 Speaker 4: committed myself on that day to write a book as 907 00:52:35,733 --> 00:52:40,973 Speaker 4: a case example of how disinformation campaigns are executed in practice. 908 00:52:41,013 --> 00:52:43,453 Speaker 4: I wanted to do like a case study so that 909 00:52:43,493 --> 00:52:46,093 Speaker 4: everyone in world could read it and that they would 910 00:52:46,093 --> 00:52:48,973 Speaker 4: then be immune to this immense amount of propaganda and 911 00:52:49,013 --> 00:52:52,573 Speaker 4: censorship which creates these things. And one of those tactics, right, 912 00:52:52,653 --> 00:52:55,493 Speaker 4: we talked about the blitz. The fake is when they 913 00:52:55,493 --> 00:52:58,173 Speaker 4: do these predetermined trials. They manipulate trials to have a 914 00:52:58,173 --> 00:53:01,613 Speaker 4: certain result. But Andy Hill is the example I used 915 00:53:01,693 --> 00:53:06,533 Speaker 4: for something called the diversion where they co opt officials 916 00:53:07,293 --> 00:53:10,213 Speaker 4: and and and. 917 00:53:09,373 --> 00:53:10,813 Speaker 3: Andy Hill was that example. 918 00:53:11,693 --> 00:53:15,693 Speaker 4: So any Hill was the lead researcher for the WHO, 919 00:53:16,813 --> 00:53:20,853 Speaker 4: and he was in charge of a team that was 920 00:53:20,853 --> 00:53:26,733 Speaker 4: supposed to research all repurposed off patent drugs that could 921 00:53:26,773 --> 00:53:30,253 Speaker 4: potentially be used in COVID. And when I discovered this 922 00:53:30,493 --> 00:53:35,493 Speaker 4: a week after my ivermactin testimony the conference organized because 923 00:53:35,533 --> 00:53:37,973 Speaker 4: we both presented the same conference, I said, who's this 924 00:53:38,013 --> 00:53:41,333 Speaker 4: guy researching ivromatic? Because he had more data than I had, 925 00:53:41,573 --> 00:53:43,893 Speaker 4: and he had better data than I had, and so 926 00:53:43,973 --> 00:53:45,853 Speaker 4: I reached out to him, and he and I quickly 927 00:53:45,893 --> 00:53:46,773 Speaker 4: became collegial. 928 00:53:46,893 --> 00:53:49,613 Speaker 3: He was a really nice guy. We were both invested. 929 00:53:49,693 --> 00:53:52,693 Speaker 4: We were both really impressed with the data around ivermactin, 930 00:53:53,133 --> 00:53:57,213 Speaker 4: and I remained in contact with him for months and 931 00:53:57,253 --> 00:54:01,133 Speaker 4: he was very supportive. The problem was the more supportive 932 00:54:01,133 --> 00:54:04,373 Speaker 4: he got. He gave a talk in South Africa on 933 00:54:04,493 --> 00:54:07,413 Speaker 4: Zoom one day, and he was like basically telling the world, 934 00:54:07,533 --> 00:54:11,973 Speaker 4: get ready, get your supplies of ivermectin together, and you 935 00:54:12,013 --> 00:54:14,093 Speaker 4: know this is going to be the treatment. 936 00:54:13,733 --> 00:54:14,613 Speaker 3: For early COVID. 937 00:54:15,253 --> 00:54:18,213 Speaker 4: The day he gave that lecture, two days later, he 938 00:54:18,333 --> 00:54:22,293 Speaker 4: told me that his sponsors at the WHO told him 939 00:54:22,333 --> 00:54:27,853 Speaker 4: he's not allowed to speak publicly anymore. And after that 940 00:54:27,973 --> 00:54:32,093 Speaker 4: day his behaviors started to get very strange. 941 00:54:32,693 --> 00:54:37,493 Speaker 3: It was not the same guy I knew he ended up. 942 00:54:38,293 --> 00:54:41,973 Speaker 4: He ended up posting a draft of his paper which 943 00:54:42,013 --> 00:54:44,813 Speaker 4: reviewed all of the trials, and there was so much 944 00:54:44,893 --> 00:54:49,373 Speaker 4: nonsense in it that didn't match the discussions we'd had 945 00:54:49,493 --> 00:54:52,533 Speaker 4: or our own interprets of the data that me and 946 00:54:52,613 --> 00:54:55,373 Speaker 4: Paul we told him, We said, we think you're doing 947 00:54:55,413 --> 00:54:56,493 Speaker 4: scientific his conduct. 948 00:54:56,533 --> 00:54:58,933 Speaker 3: We don't know why. We peer reviewed his paper. 949 00:54:59,013 --> 00:55:02,053 Speaker 4: We suggested the additions that he should make to make 950 00:55:02,093 --> 00:55:02,853 Speaker 4: it more correct. 951 00:55:03,373 --> 00:55:04,093 Speaker 3: He ignored it. 952 00:55:04,213 --> 00:55:07,453 Speaker 4: He left it up on a preprint server and then 953 00:55:07,453 --> 00:55:11,333 Speaker 4: he went even f and he just basically he stopped. 954 00:55:10,933 --> 00:55:12,853 Speaker 3: Sharing data, started doing all these things. 955 00:55:12,853 --> 00:55:15,653 Speaker 4: And then Tess Lowry from the UK was another colleague 956 00:55:15,693 --> 00:55:18,893 Speaker 4: of mine, caught him on a zoom and basically attacked 957 00:55:18,933 --> 00:55:20,933 Speaker 4: him for the same thing. What are you doing, any 958 00:55:21,013 --> 00:55:23,653 Speaker 4: Why are you writing these things when it doesn't match 959 00:55:23,693 --> 00:55:26,493 Speaker 4: the data that we have, And he basically admitted that 960 00:55:26,533 --> 00:55:30,213 Speaker 4: he was under pressure from his sponsors, and basically so 961 00:55:30,333 --> 00:55:33,613 Speaker 4: he got co opted because he's he's a research who 962 00:55:33,613 --> 00:55:37,293 Speaker 4: has long worked for international healthcare agency. His whole livelihood 963 00:55:37,373 --> 00:55:40,973 Speaker 4: is getting grants to do research, and whoever was funding 964 00:55:41,053 --> 00:55:44,133 Speaker 4: him did not like what he was finding and they 965 00:55:44,173 --> 00:55:48,173 Speaker 4: wanted him to shut up. And that's kind of the 966 00:55:48,213 --> 00:55:51,013 Speaker 4: main point of that that story with Any. And I 967 00:55:51,093 --> 00:55:54,413 Speaker 4: stopped talking to him because well, he also stopped talking 968 00:55:54,453 --> 00:55:56,173 Speaker 4: to me because I realized he got captured. 969 00:55:56,773 --> 00:56:00,093 Speaker 2: That was one of the aspects of the book I found. 970 00:56:00,493 --> 00:56:03,293 Speaker 2: You're reading away happily and all of a sudden, your 971 00:56:03,333 --> 00:56:06,853 Speaker 2: attention gets stolen from you by something like this, this 972 00:56:06,973 --> 00:56:13,733 Speaker 2: video that that doctor Tess Laurie Yeah produced And so 973 00:56:13,853 --> 00:56:16,773 Speaker 2: I went off and found it. It wasn't easy because 974 00:56:16,813 --> 00:56:19,053 Speaker 2: it wasn't where it was supposed to be, but I 975 00:56:19,133 --> 00:56:22,053 Speaker 2: dug it out and it wasn't that long. I think 976 00:56:22,053 --> 00:56:24,813 Speaker 2: it was twenty minutes, maybe. 977 00:56:26,293 --> 00:56:26,373 Speaker 3: Ed. 978 00:56:26,413 --> 00:56:32,453 Speaker 2: It was fascinating watching this fella squirm, squirm, that's what 979 00:56:32,533 --> 00:56:36,333 Speaker 2: he was. He was squirming, squirming. He looked so uncomfortable, 980 00:56:36,933 --> 00:56:39,813 Speaker 2: He looked so uncovering. Although he tried to defend himself 981 00:56:39,813 --> 00:56:45,333 Speaker 2: in words, his body and his you know, movements and 982 00:56:45,533 --> 00:56:47,653 Speaker 2: facial expression did not lie. 983 00:56:47,813 --> 00:56:53,613 Speaker 4: He and Tess was fierce. I mean, Test showed who 984 00:56:53,693 --> 00:56:56,133 Speaker 4: she was in that conversation. I mean, he was somewhat 985 00:56:56,133 --> 00:56:58,253 Speaker 4: of a colleague, we'd gotten to know him a little bit. 986 00:56:58,773 --> 00:57:02,973 Speaker 4: But she was unremitting. I mean she just really said, 987 00:57:02,973 --> 00:57:06,333 Speaker 4: what are you doing? I mean, there's fifteen thousand people 988 00:57:06,693 --> 00:57:11,653 Speaker 4: dying a day in the world and you're putting out 989 00:57:11,693 --> 00:57:15,853 Speaker 4: this you know, you're changing the science around ivermectin and how. 990 00:57:15,693 --> 00:57:18,613 Speaker 3: You present it, Like how can you sleep at night? 991 00:57:18,693 --> 00:57:19,533 Speaker 3: Is what she said to him. 992 00:57:20,293 --> 00:57:23,493 Speaker 2: So after that, after she did that, and you haven't 993 00:57:23,493 --> 00:57:26,213 Speaker 2: spoken to him, what eventuated? 994 00:57:27,253 --> 00:57:29,093 Speaker 3: Well, actually after she did that. 995 00:57:29,173 --> 00:57:31,733 Speaker 4: She never showed me the video at the time, but 996 00:57:31,933 --> 00:57:34,693 Speaker 4: she broke off all relationships. 997 00:57:34,013 --> 00:57:35,253 Speaker 3: With any before I did. 998 00:57:35,933 --> 00:57:38,533 Speaker 4: I continue to have relationship with him because I was 999 00:57:38,573 --> 00:57:40,853 Speaker 4: trying to do good cop while she was bad cop, 1000 00:57:41,333 --> 00:57:43,853 Speaker 4: because he was feeding me data that I thought was 1001 00:57:43,893 --> 00:57:46,973 Speaker 4: really important, because you know what his job was to 1002 00:57:47,093 --> 00:57:50,453 Speaker 4: search all of the clinical trial registries in the world, 1003 00:57:50,933 --> 00:57:56,773 Speaker 4: identify all of the randomized control trials on any particular medicine. 1004 00:57:56,853 --> 00:58:00,173 Speaker 4: And by the time he got to ivermectin, they'd already 1005 00:58:00,213 --> 00:58:03,453 Speaker 4: researched hydroxtic cork and all these other things, and so 1006 00:58:03,613 --> 00:58:06,893 Speaker 4: he had knowledge, and he was in contact and communication 1007 00:58:07,053 --> 00:58:10,733 Speaker 4: with investigators with ongoing trials, and he was like, letting 1008 00:58:10,733 --> 00:58:12,493 Speaker 4: me know at some of this data show, which is 1009 00:58:12,573 --> 00:58:16,213 Speaker 4: by the way, not really scientifically rigorous. You shouldn't be 1010 00:58:16,213 --> 00:58:19,853 Speaker 4: sharing data of ongoing trials, but he was getting early 1011 00:58:19,893 --> 00:58:22,893 Speaker 4: reports of either trial results or ongoing data, and so 1012 00:58:24,253 --> 00:58:26,373 Speaker 4: I thought it was a productive relationship for me because 1013 00:58:26,373 --> 00:58:29,013 Speaker 4: I was just putting stuff out there around ivermactin. 1014 00:58:29,133 --> 00:58:33,133 Speaker 3: But eventually, I can't remember how our. 1015 00:58:32,973 --> 00:58:38,333 Speaker 4: Relationship ended, but he ended his contract with WHO. Then 1016 00:58:38,373 --> 00:58:44,493 Speaker 4: he published a wickedly positive meta analysis which departed from 1017 00:58:44,493 --> 00:58:47,333 Speaker 4: his work with WHO, because when he presented his data, 1018 00:58:47,533 --> 00:58:50,373 Speaker 4: Who the WHO did not recommend ivermactin. 1019 00:58:50,693 --> 00:58:52,453 Speaker 3: And that's a whole other scandal. 1020 00:58:52,853 --> 00:58:55,693 Speaker 4: What they did with the ivernmatin recommendation because the data 1021 00:58:55,693 --> 00:58:59,573 Speaker 4: that he presented them overwhelmingly supported the use of iromactin, 1022 00:59:00,213 --> 00:59:05,653 Speaker 4: But they ended up throwing out tens of trials that 1023 00:59:05,773 --> 00:59:08,693 Speaker 4: he had a mass that met their protocol for include usion. 1024 00:59:08,813 --> 00:59:11,253 Speaker 4: They threw them out saying, oh, this is what's wrong 1025 00:59:11,293 --> 00:59:13,373 Speaker 4: with this one and that one. And even after throwing 1026 00:59:13,413 --> 00:59:17,213 Speaker 4: everything out, they found an eighty two percent reduction immortality. 1027 00:59:17,413 --> 00:59:20,613 Speaker 4: But then the WHO labeled it as low quality evidence. 1028 00:59:21,173 --> 00:59:24,013 Speaker 4: And as a result, because it's such low quality, they said, 1029 00:59:24,013 --> 00:59:26,653 Speaker 4: most people in the world would not want to be 1030 00:59:26,733 --> 00:59:30,853 Speaker 4: treated with something based on low quality evidence outside of 1031 00:59:30,853 --> 00:59:34,653 Speaker 4: a clinical trial. And so the WHO is official recommendation 1032 00:59:34,693 --> 00:59:36,853 Speaker 4: from March of twenty twenty one which do not use 1033 00:59:36,893 --> 00:59:38,613 Speaker 4: outside of a clinical trial. And if you read the 1034 00:59:38,613 --> 00:59:43,613 Speaker 4: wording of that recommendation, it there's nothing more that infuriates 1035 00:59:43,653 --> 00:59:46,013 Speaker 4: me to this day than reading that document because they 1036 00:59:46,013 --> 00:59:49,293 Speaker 4: basically say, there's a paragraph in that document wich I 1037 00:59:49,293 --> 00:59:52,133 Speaker 4: think is really important that this world be aware of. 1038 00:59:53,173 --> 01:00:00,533 Speaker 4: It goes as follows. The Clinical Development Guidelines Group has 1039 01:00:01,133 --> 01:00:07,573 Speaker 4: found that although the data is in support of ivermectin use, 1040 01:00:08,333 --> 01:00:12,773 Speaker 4: it is of such low certainty that most well informed 1041 01:00:12,773 --> 01:00:15,053 Speaker 4: citizens of the world would not want to be treated 1042 01:00:15,093 --> 01:00:18,253 Speaker 4: with it outside of a trial. And Layton, can I 1043 01:00:18,333 --> 01:00:21,493 Speaker 4: just give you my interpretation of that sentence. That means 1044 01:00:21,813 --> 01:00:25,493 Speaker 4: in the real world sense, I'm picturing myself as a 1045 01:00:25,533 --> 01:00:29,093 Speaker 4: patient ill with COVID in a hospital room on six 1046 01:00:29,213 --> 01:00:33,853 Speaker 4: leaders of nasal flow canula oxygen, breathing at thirty times 1047 01:00:33,853 --> 01:00:38,373 Speaker 4: a minute, feeling terrible, and I'm declining, and a doctor 1048 01:00:38,373 --> 01:00:41,453 Speaker 4: comes into my room and says to me, doctor Corey, 1049 01:00:42,093 --> 01:00:43,173 Speaker 4: there's this medicine. 1050 01:00:43,893 --> 01:00:45,213 Speaker 3: It's one of the safest. 1051 01:00:44,813 --> 01:00:49,373 Speaker 4: Medicines in history, and based on the best available evidence, 1052 01:00:49,613 --> 01:00:52,053 Speaker 4: it shows that your chance of dying will be reduced 1053 01:00:52,053 --> 01:00:54,813 Speaker 4: by eighty two percent, because that's also in their documents, 1054 01:00:54,813 --> 01:00:58,213 Speaker 4: statistically significant eighty two percent reduction immortality if you use 1055 01:00:58,253 --> 01:01:01,653 Speaker 4: ivermathin So let's say this imaginary doctor would tell me that, 1056 01:01:02,093 --> 01:01:05,693 Speaker 4: and then he would say, but the evidence is it's 1057 01:01:05,813 --> 01:01:07,333 Speaker 4: low certainty. 1058 01:01:07,853 --> 01:01:09,533 Speaker 3: Would you like to be treated with it? 1059 01:01:10,053 --> 01:01:13,293 Speaker 4: So that means that most well informed citizens would respond, 1060 01:01:14,453 --> 01:01:17,853 Speaker 4: you know, because the evidence is of such low certainty, doctor, 1061 01:01:18,493 --> 01:01:21,813 Speaker 4: I'm not comfortably being treated outside of a clinical trial. 1062 01:01:22,573 --> 01:01:25,893 Speaker 4: Did you understand the absurdity of what we're talking about? Yep, 1063 01:01:27,613 --> 01:01:29,413 Speaker 4: that's literally the world we live in. So when we 1064 01:01:29,453 --> 01:01:31,413 Speaker 4: go back to the old pier to new pier, like, 1065 01:01:31,813 --> 01:01:36,333 Speaker 4: I'm watching an organization that's supposed toly shepherd the public 1066 01:01:36,373 --> 01:01:44,013 Speaker 4: health of the citizens of the world use this brazenly clownish, absurd, illogical, impractical, 1067 01:01:44,653 --> 01:01:51,253 Speaker 4: and inhuman reasoning for one reason only to not recommend ifromactin. 1068 01:01:51,373 --> 01:01:54,173 Speaker 4: And why don't they want to do that because of 1069 01:01:54,213 --> 01:01:58,333 Speaker 4: the people who control the WHO. It's controlled by Big 1070 01:01:58,373 --> 01:02:03,053 Speaker 4: Pharma and Bill Gates, who has immense interest in Big Pharma. 1071 01:02:03,133 --> 01:02:07,653 Speaker 4: So of course the WHO it's not a public health organization, 1072 01:02:08,093 --> 01:02:11,573 Speaker 4: it's it's literally run by the pharmaceutical industry, and so 1073 01:02:11,813 --> 01:02:14,813 Speaker 4: of course they not going to promote a repurposed drug. 1074 01:02:14,853 --> 01:02:17,893 Speaker 4: But the contortions and the clownishness that they had to 1075 01:02:17,973 --> 01:02:21,813 Speaker 4: go to in order to avoid doing that is so disturbing. 1076 01:02:22,613 --> 01:02:24,893 Speaker 2: Is so disturbing strong enough. 1077 01:02:25,933 --> 01:02:29,413 Speaker 4: No I could I probably I'm a New Yorker, so 1078 01:02:29,693 --> 01:02:31,813 Speaker 4: I then probably go into curse words. 1079 01:02:32,533 --> 01:02:36,013 Speaker 3: But it's funny though. Actually I love how you just 1080 01:02:36,053 --> 01:02:36,813 Speaker 3: asked that. Ladies. 1081 01:02:36,813 --> 01:02:39,173 Speaker 4: You know why because when I talk about these topics, 1082 01:02:39,213 --> 01:02:43,133 Speaker 4: I sometimes use the phrase I've run out of descriptors, 1083 01:02:43,453 --> 01:02:50,613 Speaker 4: Like I don't know how to describe this stuff. Evil, inhumane, corrupt, absurd, brazen, clownish. 1084 01:02:50,733 --> 01:02:54,133 Speaker 4: I don't even know how to describe it. But it's dystopian, 1085 01:02:54,253 --> 01:02:55,893 Speaker 4: is the word that's frightening. 1086 01:02:57,053 --> 01:02:57,293 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1087 01:02:57,413 --> 01:03:01,533 Speaker 2: By the way, the interview I did right back in 1088 01:03:01,573 --> 01:03:03,213 Speaker 2: the very early days of this and I said I 1089 01:03:03,213 --> 01:03:05,653 Speaker 2: couldn't think of his name, Thomas BARROTI. 1090 01:03:06,333 --> 01:03:08,213 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, Tom Bardi, Sure, I know Tom. 1091 01:03:08,493 --> 01:03:11,373 Speaker 4: Yeah, And Tom Tom was I mean, he was on 1092 01:03:11,453 --> 01:03:15,173 Speaker 4: the hydroxychloroquin very early. He knew that one, Yes, he knew. 1093 01:03:15,253 --> 01:03:18,173 Speaker 4: I'vever met them words. And and here's the other point. 1094 01:03:18,773 --> 01:03:22,293 Speaker 4: He's another example like a Paul Marek less so a 1095 01:03:22,413 --> 01:03:27,013 Speaker 4: Pierre Corey, but a literally globally prominent physician who had 1096 01:03:27,013 --> 01:03:31,013 Speaker 4: reached the heights of medicine, celebrated beyond belief, one of 1097 01:03:31,053 --> 01:03:37,293 Speaker 4: the most highly published erudite you know, brilliant physicians who 1098 01:03:37,373 --> 01:03:40,213 Speaker 4: got taken down for his opinions in COVID because they 1099 01:03:40,253 --> 01:03:44,573 Speaker 4: were contrarian to the objective. It doesn't matter how how 1100 01:03:44,733 --> 01:03:47,733 Speaker 4: high you rise, they can take anyone down. 1101 01:03:48,293 --> 01:03:51,133 Speaker 2: I've got to turn this round on to you again. Yeah, 1102 01:03:51,213 --> 01:03:57,173 Speaker 2: you got taken down, but now you're now you're thriving. Yes, 1103 01:03:57,773 --> 01:03:59,773 Speaker 2: and you gave us, you gave us, you gave us 1104 01:03:59,773 --> 01:04:02,013 Speaker 2: part of an explanation for that. I think because you're 1105 01:04:02,013 --> 01:04:06,893 Speaker 2: independent and you can charge, and you apologize for people 1106 01:04:06,973 --> 01:04:09,133 Speaker 2: who can't see you. And I saw some thing on 1107 01:04:09,133 --> 01:04:13,173 Speaker 2: ONYX I think yesterday had said you charged twelve hundred 1108 01:04:13,333 --> 01:04:17,853 Speaker 2: thirteen hundred dollars or something and that was abusiful. People 1109 01:04:17,933 --> 01:04:19,613 Speaker 2: like comments without understanding what the. 1110 01:04:19,853 --> 01:04:21,573 Speaker 3: Can I talk about that for a second? 1111 01:04:21,653 --> 01:04:22,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a lot. 1112 01:04:23,493 --> 01:04:28,933 Speaker 5: Because it's so It saddens me so much because people 1113 01:04:29,093 --> 01:04:33,253 Speaker 5: think that if I charged twelve hundred dollars that I'm 1114 01:04:33,333 --> 01:04:35,453 Speaker 5: getting the twelve hundred dollars. 1115 01:04:35,493 --> 01:04:38,013 Speaker 3: Like, people don't understand how businesses work. 1116 01:04:38,773 --> 01:04:44,813 Speaker 4: My practice has twenty five employees, We have teams of nurses. 1117 01:04:44,853 --> 01:04:48,733 Speaker 4: We do proactive follow up. Me and my partner have 1118 01:04:48,853 --> 01:04:51,893 Speaker 4: committed to being the best employers we can. We very 1119 01:04:51,893 --> 01:04:56,533 Speaker 4: early on, before we even financially we were barely financially solvent, 1120 01:04:56,653 --> 01:05:00,013 Speaker 4: we offered them health insurance. Now we offer them retirement 1121 01:05:00,013 --> 01:05:03,573 Speaker 4: plans where we match. Like, I do not make a 1122 01:05:03,573 --> 01:05:07,093 Speaker 4: lot of money from my practice, I really don't. But 1123 01:05:07,213 --> 01:05:09,933 Speaker 4: people look at the fee we charge and they think 1124 01:05:09,973 --> 01:05:12,213 Speaker 4: that I'm laughing all the way to the bank, or 1125 01:05:12,213 --> 01:05:15,453 Speaker 4: I'm retiring on a Hawaiian island. The economics of a 1126 01:05:15,533 --> 01:05:21,613 Speaker 4: medical practice that survives only on consultation is impossible to 1127 01:05:21,653 --> 01:05:24,133 Speaker 4: calculate because you have to understand how the medical system 1128 01:05:24,173 --> 01:05:24,893 Speaker 4: makes its money. 1129 01:05:25,493 --> 01:05:27,533 Speaker 3: They have massive profit. 1130 01:05:27,293 --> 01:05:30,693 Speaker 4: Centers that a practice where it's all our sweat and tears, 1131 01:05:30,773 --> 01:05:33,053 Speaker 4: like I spend immense amount of times with my patients. 1132 01:05:33,813 --> 01:05:35,653 Speaker 3: We don't have imaging centers. 1133 01:05:35,693 --> 01:05:38,693 Speaker 4: I don't have blood labs where I can charge dollars, 1134 01:05:38,733 --> 01:05:42,933 Speaker 4: and I don't have surgeons and procedures or imaging. You know, 1135 01:05:43,053 --> 01:05:46,693 Speaker 4: that's how the economics of healthcare works. And so it 1136 01:05:46,853 --> 01:05:49,253 Speaker 4: saddens me that people look at a fee that I 1137 01:05:49,413 --> 01:05:52,693 Speaker 4: charge and they think that I'm overcharging. To be honest, 1138 01:05:52,893 --> 01:05:56,373 Speaker 4: I know what other folks, and I don't want to 1139 01:05:56,373 --> 01:05:59,693 Speaker 4: call us alternative or integrative, but I will tell you 1140 01:05:59,813 --> 01:06:02,453 Speaker 4: we are the most reasonably priced that I've seen. 1141 01:06:02,533 --> 01:06:03,213 Speaker 1: I have. 1142 01:06:03,733 --> 01:06:06,093 Speaker 3: I know colleagues that I like and enjoy respect. 1143 01:06:06,693 --> 01:06:09,733 Speaker 4: They charge an immense amount of money for what they do, 1144 01:06:10,133 --> 01:06:13,253 Speaker 4: far far higher than what I do. We do pragmatic 1145 01:06:13,333 --> 01:06:17,373 Speaker 4: pricing and we deliver excellent care. And again, if this 1146 01:06:17,453 --> 01:06:21,853 Speaker 4: comes across as defensive, it's somewhat defenses, but it's also 1147 01:06:21,973 --> 01:06:25,253 Speaker 4: trying to explain to people that you don't understand that 1148 01:06:25,253 --> 01:06:29,133 Speaker 4: that fee is not like goes into my wallet by 1149 01:06:29,133 --> 01:06:32,853 Speaker 4: the time against my wallet, it's like a fifteenth of 1150 01:06:32,893 --> 01:06:35,613 Speaker 4: what that is. I bet you wish that is anyway, Yeah, 1151 01:06:35,733 --> 01:06:38,133 Speaker 4: I wish it did. But and you know I could. 1152 01:06:38,173 --> 01:06:42,373 Speaker 4: And here's the thing. I could probably charge fifteen thousand 1153 01:06:42,533 --> 01:06:45,093 Speaker 4: or I don't. I probably couldn't, but three thousand of 1154 01:06:45,133 --> 01:06:48,533 Speaker 4: consultation five thousand, I don't. We're just trying to make 1155 01:06:49,213 --> 01:06:53,173 Speaker 4: a decent salary while delivering excellent care of supporting our employees. 1156 01:06:53,253 --> 01:06:55,613 Speaker 3: That's all we are. Are just a normal business. 1157 01:06:55,973 --> 01:07:01,493 Speaker 2: Let's go back to public health officials. You'd be familiar 1158 01:07:01,573 --> 01:07:02,853 Speaker 2: with Ashley Bluefield. 1159 01:07:04,693 --> 01:07:08,173 Speaker 4: Heard the name that's in New Zealand, right, Yes, yeah, 1160 01:07:08,693 --> 01:07:10,333 Speaker 4: I'm You're all the same.

Okay, 1164 01:07:19,613 --> 01:07:20,693 Speaker 3: Well he did. 1165 01:07:20,973 --> 01:07:23,533 Speaker 2: He stood out because because he don't know, because he 1166 01:07:23,733 --> 01:07:26,533 Speaker 2: dumped on Ivermecton and. 1167 01:07:26,973 --> 01:07:29,293 Speaker 3: Standing out leading Hold on, let me check you on that. 1168 01:07:29,373 --> 01:07:31,653 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, we're not No, we're not there yet. 1169 01:07:31,653 --> 01:07:32,333 Speaker 2: I haven't finished. 1170 01:07:32,333 --> 01:07:33,133 Speaker 3: Okay, good. 1171 01:07:34,533 --> 01:07:38,213 Speaker 2: He dumped on Ivermecton and kept dumping on Ivermecton and 1172 01:07:38,253 --> 01:07:43,813 Speaker 2: that really pissed off a fairly large number of people 1173 01:07:43,893 --> 01:07:46,733 Speaker 2: in this country. The sad admit is that he got 1174 01:07:46,773 --> 01:07:51,693 Speaker 2: a knighthood at the end of this, and the Prime 1175 01:07:51,693 --> 01:07:55,893 Speaker 2: Minister got a damehood. And and I've asked this question 1176 01:07:56,213 --> 01:08:00,853 Speaker 2: of other people on vodcast on podcasts, and I'm going 1177 01:08:00,893 --> 01:08:02,813 Speaker 2: to ask you. I wasn't going to actually because I've 1178 01:08:02,813 --> 01:08:05,573 Speaker 2: asked it enough, but I'm going to ask you, would 1179 01:08:05,613 --> 01:08:09,653 Speaker 2: you support a move and I'm not, but would you 1180 01:08:10,093 --> 01:08:13,773 Speaker 2: support a move to remove those honors, so called honors 1181 01:08:13,973 --> 01:08:17,573 Speaker 2: from people who did such damage to their country? 1182 01:08:18,733 --> 01:08:21,413 Speaker 3: Of course I would, of course I would. 1183 01:08:21,653 --> 01:08:24,253 Speaker 4: That that goes back to my adjectives of clown world, 1184 01:08:24,333 --> 01:08:28,293 Speaker 4: bizarro world. I mean, people are celebrated for participating in 1185 01:08:28,333 --> 01:08:33,213 Speaker 4: a humanitarian catastrophe. They're getting awards and united and damed. 1186 01:08:33,253 --> 01:08:35,693 Speaker 4: I mean that, what world are we living in? 1187 01:08:36,493 --> 01:08:38,413 Speaker 3: And you know, you know what? You know what this 1188 01:08:38,453 --> 01:08:44,333 Speaker 3: triggers in my mind, Laydon, is that what what COVID was. 1189 01:08:44,813 --> 01:08:47,093 Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of things, but Ultimately, in 1190 01:08:47,133 --> 01:08:52,653 Speaker 4: my mind, it was a war of information, and those 1191 01:08:52,733 --> 01:08:56,413 Speaker 4: that control the information sources and the dissemination of information, 1192 01:08:57,493 --> 01:09:03,693 Speaker 4: they disseminated consistently corrupted information in the forms of propaganda, 1193 01:09:03,813 --> 01:09:07,773 Speaker 4: and then they censored helpful, life saving information. 1194 01:09:08,453 --> 01:09:10,493 Speaker 3: It caused the humanitarian catastrophe. 1195 01:09:10,613 --> 01:09:14,133 Speaker 4: And and so to celebrate those that were practitioners of 1196 01:09:14,173 --> 01:09:15,133 Speaker 4: it is. 1197 01:09:16,613 --> 01:09:17,733 Speaker 3: It saddening? 1198 01:09:17,813 --> 01:09:21,253 Speaker 4: Is one word? Again, I got to break down my fassaurs. Yes, 1199 01:09:21,613 --> 01:09:24,533 Speaker 4: but it's absurd, absurd, absurd. 1200 01:09:25,333 --> 01:09:28,733 Speaker 2: Okay, but that's not the end of Ashley Bloomfield. He's 1201 01:09:28,773 --> 01:09:30,933 Speaker 2: now with the He's now with the w Y Show, 1202 01:09:32,453 --> 01:09:36,013 Speaker 2: and and the w A Show is trying to corral 1203 01:09:36,093 --> 01:09:38,813 Speaker 2: the world with regards as you would be well aware 1204 01:09:39,333 --> 01:09:43,173 Speaker 2: with regard to their plan for the future. And and 1205 01:09:43,213 --> 01:09:46,373 Speaker 2: the question that I have asked others before as well 1206 01:09:46,853 --> 01:09:50,693 Speaker 2: is should New Zealand join up because they're going FI. 1207 01:09:53,973 --> 01:09:56,453 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. 1208 01:09:56,533 --> 01:10:01,613 Speaker 4: The more you centralize power and control, the more not 1209 01:10:01,613 --> 01:10:04,013 Speaker 4: not the more susceptible it is to being captured. Because 1210 01:10:04,053 --> 01:10:08,413 Speaker 4: they can capture diverse entities across the world, but the 1211 01:10:08,333 --> 01:10:12,893 Speaker 4: the more you see power into a centralized. 1212 01:10:13,813 --> 01:10:17,893 Speaker 3: Entity that is demonstrably captured. 1213 01:10:17,973 --> 01:10:23,373 Speaker 4: There's been documentation for twenty years of how the WHO 1214 01:10:23,493 --> 01:10:26,693 Speaker 4: of old, which is I would say last century, has 1215 01:10:26,733 --> 01:10:30,453 Speaker 4: been transformed. It literally works in the service of big Pharma. 1216 01:10:30,853 --> 01:10:34,573 Speaker 4: So any country that doubles that joints the WHO is 1217 01:10:34,613 --> 01:10:39,613 Speaker 4: basically seeding their sovereignty and their authority to corporate interests, 1218 01:10:40,813 --> 01:10:46,373 Speaker 4: which is antithetical to the purpose of government. Why would 1219 01:10:46,413 --> 01:10:51,373 Speaker 4: a government seat itself to a profit making corporation. I mean, 1220 01:10:51,653 --> 01:10:55,853 Speaker 4: to go into gates would be another hour, but he's 1221 01:10:55,893 --> 01:11:00,053 Speaker 4: on record showing that, like the eighteen billion that he 1222 01:11:00,173 --> 01:11:03,173 Speaker 4: learned that he earned in the pandemic through his investments 1223 01:11:03,493 --> 01:11:07,693 Speaker 4: into all the things that they mandated. So I just 1224 01:11:07,733 --> 01:11:09,973 Speaker 4: don't understand why I see the world in a certain 1225 01:11:10,013 --> 01:11:11,973 Speaker 4: way and so few others don't. 1226 01:11:12,173 --> 01:11:14,013 Speaker 3: Actually, I shouldn't say that I don't understand. 1227 01:11:14,053 --> 01:11:19,573 Speaker 4: I do understand because people have been sickened with immense 1228 01:11:19,813 --> 01:11:24,173 Speaker 4: propaganda from every sphere three hundred and sixty degrees. 1229 01:11:25,373 --> 01:11:26,173 Speaker 3: And can we talk. 1230 01:11:26,053 --> 01:11:29,933 Speaker 4: About propaganda for a second late, because the definition that 1231 01:11:29,973 --> 01:11:33,333 Speaker 4: I've been most moved by for what propaganda is, it's 1232 01:11:33,373 --> 01:11:35,853 Speaker 4: actually from a colleague patient of mine. He's a world 1233 01:11:35,933 --> 01:11:39,293 Speaker 4: expert in propaganda. His name is Professor Mark Crispin Miller. 1234 01:11:39,333 --> 01:11:44,293 Speaker 4: From New York University. And his definition is that propaganda 1235 01:11:44,933 --> 01:11:48,973 Speaker 4: is a story or a message to get. 1236 01:11:48,693 --> 01:11:52,053 Speaker 3: You to think or act in a certain way. 1237 01:11:53,253 --> 01:11:56,213 Speaker 4: And when I first heard that definition, I'd already been 1238 01:11:56,253 --> 01:11:59,853 Speaker 4: deeply studied on disinformation. I'd already seen a world act 1239 01:11:59,933 --> 01:12:03,893 Speaker 4: so bizarrely against their own interests. I saw people lining 1240 01:12:03,973 --> 01:12:06,973 Speaker 4: up for these toxic vaccines. I saw examples of like 1241 01:12:07,333 --> 01:12:12,173 Speaker 4: someone pass out in centers after getting a vaccine, and 1242 01:12:12,293 --> 01:12:13,933 Speaker 4: yet the line didn't disperse. 1243 01:12:14,693 --> 01:12:19,133 Speaker 3: People kept showing up for more vaccines. And so the 1244 01:12:19,453 --> 01:12:20,773 Speaker 3: story or message to get you. 1245 01:12:20,733 --> 01:12:24,573 Speaker 4: Think or act in a certain way, the world just 1246 01:12:24,693 --> 01:12:28,573 Speaker 4: has no idea that they're being propagated. They're being manipulated 1247 01:12:28,573 --> 01:12:31,253 Speaker 4: with information to get them to think correct in certain ways, 1248 01:12:31,293 --> 01:12:36,413 Speaker 4: and their actions are oftentimes directly opposed to their interests 1249 01:12:36,453 --> 01:12:39,373 Speaker 4: as a human, to their well being and their safety. 1250 01:12:39,693 --> 01:12:43,733 Speaker 4: And they don't know this. They don't know they're being manipulated. 1251 01:12:44,213 --> 01:12:46,133 Speaker 4: And I don't know how to communicate that. 1252 01:12:46,053 --> 01:12:46,573 Speaker 3: To the world. 1253 01:12:46,973 --> 01:12:50,453 Speaker 4: But I really my main message is very trite, right 1254 01:12:50,493 --> 01:12:53,013 Speaker 4: because other people like Trump and other people are saying, 1255 01:12:53,053 --> 01:12:57,093 Speaker 4: like turn off your televisions, turn off your radios, employ 1256 01:12:57,213 --> 01:13:02,653 Speaker 4: critical thinking. You know, understand what is behind those information sources. 1257 01:13:02,733 --> 01:13:05,773 Speaker 4: What are the financial interests that are driving that information 1258 01:13:05,813 --> 01:13:06,253 Speaker 4: towards you? 1259 01:13:06,293 --> 01:13:08,173 Speaker 3: I mean, I just wish. 1260 01:13:07,933 --> 01:13:11,173 Speaker 4: The world would just somehow be able to identify and 1261 01:13:11,213 --> 01:13:18,133 Speaker 4: listen to independent, unconflicted researchers, doctors, media, folks, you. 1262 01:13:18,093 --> 01:13:21,173 Speaker 3: Know, folks like you. I'm sure you don't take pharmal money, Laton. 1263 01:13:22,013 --> 01:13:22,853 Speaker 2: They never offered. 1264 01:13:23,413 --> 01:13:24,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what was gonna say. 1265 01:13:24,693 --> 01:13:28,773 Speaker 2: But they wouldn't. They wouldn't. 1266 01:13:28,933 --> 01:13:30,653 Speaker 3: You wouldn't have me on if that was the case. 1267 01:13:30,733 --> 01:13:36,533 Speaker 2: They wouldn't. They wouldn't get it. So Professor Mark Crispin Miller, 1268 01:13:36,853 --> 01:13:38,893 Speaker 2: and what's his what's his specialty? 1269 01:13:40,053 --> 01:13:43,613 Speaker 4: So he was a professor of propaganda at New York 1270 01:13:43,693 --> 01:13:45,213 Speaker 4: University and he. 1271 01:13:45,413 --> 01:13:48,773 Speaker 2: Saw all of this, so hang on. So he's a 1272 01:13:48,773 --> 01:13:54,493 Speaker 2: professor of propaganda, not to propagate propaganda, but to to educate. 1273 01:13:54,933 --> 01:14:01,333 Speaker 4: The history, ramifications, consequences, presence of propaganda in society. I mean, 1274 01:14:01,373 --> 01:14:04,453 Speaker 4: he's that that's been his life's work because and I 1275 01:14:04,493 --> 01:14:07,653 Speaker 4: think it's as probably one of the most important topics 1276 01:14:07,653 --> 01:14:08,333 Speaker 4: in the world today. 1277 01:14:08,413 --> 01:14:09,493 Speaker 3: It doesn't get discussed. 1278 01:14:10,333 --> 01:14:13,293 Speaker 4: But remember propaganda has started back in the nineteen twenties 1279 01:14:13,333 --> 01:14:16,893 Speaker 4: with Barnet's and the Germans used it, and everyone seems 1280 01:14:16,893 --> 01:14:20,453 Speaker 4: to identify propaganda with like the Soviet Union. 1281 01:14:20,253 --> 01:14:24,053 Speaker 3: North Korea, Germany. And you know, one of the. 1282 01:14:24,053 --> 01:14:26,933 Speaker 4: Really funny anecdotes that really has stayed with me today 1283 01:14:26,973 --> 01:14:30,253 Speaker 4: is that I was talking to a friend of mine 1284 01:14:30,293 --> 01:14:33,933 Speaker 4: who is German, and he said, you know, back, you know, 1285 01:14:33,973 --> 01:14:35,453 Speaker 4: before the Berlin Wall fell. 1286 01:14:35,693 --> 01:14:37,893 Speaker 3: He said, the East. 1287 01:14:37,653 --> 01:14:42,773 Speaker 4: Germans, they didn't listen to the television. They knew that 1288 01:14:42,813 --> 01:14:45,533 Speaker 4: it was the state line to them. They were well 1289 01:14:45,573 --> 01:14:48,533 Speaker 4: aware that you don't trust the television, you don't trust 1290 01:14:48,573 --> 01:14:49,173 Speaker 4: the media. 1291 01:14:49,733 --> 01:14:51,333 Speaker 3: They laughed at that stuff. 1292 01:14:51,773 --> 01:14:54,733 Speaker 4: Whereas I live in a country in the United States 1293 01:14:55,293 --> 01:14:58,413 Speaker 4: where people turn on their televisions and radio stations and 1294 01:14:58,453 --> 01:14:59,613 Speaker 4: read their newspapers. 1295 01:15:00,093 --> 01:15:03,133 Speaker 3: They have no idea what's behind them. 1296 01:15:03,613 --> 01:15:07,413 Speaker 4: They think that these are well meaning journalists with integrity, 1297 01:15:07,493 --> 01:15:11,693 Speaker 4: who've done investment negations and have determined accuracy using facts 1298 01:15:11,773 --> 01:15:13,133 Speaker 4: and conclusions. 1299 01:15:13,493 --> 01:15:15,573 Speaker 3: That is not true. 1300 01:15:15,773 --> 01:15:18,773 Speaker 4: If it's printed in the papers, it's because someone allowed 1301 01:15:18,813 --> 01:15:19,693 Speaker 4: it to be printed. 1302 01:15:20,653 --> 01:15:21,933 Speaker 3: You know, you can't. 1303 01:15:21,813 --> 01:15:24,653 Speaker 4: Print anything that's inconvenient to the powers that be. 1304 01:15:26,453 --> 01:15:30,173 Speaker 2: Something you just said was a trigger, and I was 1305 01:15:30,533 --> 01:15:34,253 Speaker 2: about to launch into the fact that education is a 1306 01:15:34,293 --> 01:15:39,453 Speaker 2: failure on a number of fronts. It's a failure here, 1307 01:15:39,453 --> 01:15:43,533 Speaker 2: it's a failure practically everywhere. But my mind was cast 1308 01:15:43,573 --> 01:15:47,013 Speaker 2: back to when I was still in still in school, 1309 01:15:47,493 --> 01:15:51,973 Speaker 2: young young, I suggest even sort of the end of 1310 01:15:52,013 --> 01:15:56,253 Speaker 2: primary school and certainly early high school. And this was 1311 01:15:56,773 --> 01:16:05,573 Speaker 2: analyzing stories from the paper in class and deconstructing them 1312 01:16:05,693 --> 01:16:09,893 Speaker 2: and working out you know what, It wasn't propaganda. It 1313 01:16:10,053 --> 01:16:13,533 Speaker 2: was how to find propaganda, if you like. I don't 1314 01:16:13,533 --> 01:16:15,893 Speaker 2: know that I ever realized that, but it was to 1315 01:16:17,053 --> 01:16:22,013 Speaker 2: basically find the true path about about all sorts of things. 1316 01:16:22,453 --> 01:16:24,573 Speaker 2: I don't I don't think it lasted that long as 1317 01:16:24,773 --> 01:16:28,573 Speaker 2: a subject, but I don't believe it happens. 1318 01:16:28,253 --> 01:16:28,773 Speaker 3: At all now. 1319 01:16:30,093 --> 01:16:35,413 Speaker 2: No, No, you don't learn to think, certainly don't learn 1320 01:16:35,493 --> 01:16:38,773 Speaker 2: to think critically as a kid, and it's easy to 1321 01:16:38,773 --> 01:16:40,453 Speaker 2: brainwash you under those circumstances. 1322 01:16:41,293 --> 01:16:45,453 Speaker 4: I totally agree. You know, I want to inject something positive. 1323 01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:53,213 Speaker 4: Why Why because because let's go back to how we 1324 01:16:53,293 --> 01:16:56,093 Speaker 4: started leading. You asked me about old Pierre and new Pierre. 1325 01:16:56,693 --> 01:16:59,813 Speaker 4: You know what happened to me is literally my perception, 1326 01:17:00,173 --> 01:17:03,653 Speaker 4: my awareness of reality and society and what's really going 1327 01:17:03,693 --> 01:17:08,013 Speaker 4: on truly expanded. I'm not going to claim I know everything. 1328 01:17:08,653 --> 01:17:10,773 Speaker 4: I do know I know a lot more of the 1329 01:17:10,813 --> 01:17:15,333 Speaker 4: world than I did. But the positive point is and 1330 01:17:15,373 --> 01:17:18,533 Speaker 4: that's been positive for me. I really think the only 1331 01:17:18,573 --> 01:17:20,693 Speaker 4: way you can live is being as well informed as 1332 01:17:20,733 --> 01:17:23,133 Speaker 4: you can, and I think I was very poorly informed 1333 01:17:23,133 --> 01:17:25,133 Speaker 4: in my prior existence. 1334 01:17:25,893 --> 01:17:28,653 Speaker 3: But I'm not the only one. This has happened to 1335 01:17:28,733 --> 01:17:29,733 Speaker 3: a lot of people. 1336 01:17:29,773 --> 01:17:32,453 Speaker 4: You know. We use that phrase that they were woken 1337 01:17:32,613 --> 01:17:35,373 Speaker 4: up in COVID And I recently wrote a post. I 1338 01:17:35,373 --> 01:17:37,453 Speaker 4: have a substack that's pretty popular. I do a lot 1339 01:17:37,453 --> 01:17:43,013 Speaker 4: of writings on medical and medical adjacent topics, and I 1340 01:17:43,053 --> 01:17:45,693 Speaker 4: was doing a post on the trust in hospitals and 1341 01:17:45,733 --> 01:17:49,253 Speaker 4: physicians because there was a paper that got a lot 1342 01:17:49,253 --> 01:17:55,853 Speaker 4: of attention last July where Americans trust in hospitals and 1343 01:17:55,853 --> 01:17:59,893 Speaker 4: physicians from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three or four 1344 01:18:00,453 --> 01:18:04,853 Speaker 4: plummeted from seventy one percent to forty percent. Americas are 1345 01:18:04,893 --> 01:18:08,013 Speaker 4: disgusted with the medical system and how they responded in 1346 01:18:08,053 --> 01:18:12,733 Speaker 4: all actions they took. And I also found data in 1347 01:18:12,773 --> 01:18:16,493 Speaker 4: the media. So there's this survey they've done about media 1348 01:18:16,613 --> 01:18:19,133 Speaker 4: for like, I think they had data going back twenty 1349 01:18:19,173 --> 01:18:23,653 Speaker 4: five years and they asked respondents to ask about their 1350 01:18:23,653 --> 01:18:27,133 Speaker 4: trust to media and there's three choices. It was lots 1351 01:18:27,213 --> 01:18:32,813 Speaker 4: of trust, some trust, and no trust at all. 1352 01:18:32,893 --> 01:18:34,293 Speaker 3: And for the first time. 1353 01:18:34,093 --> 01:18:39,893 Speaker 4: In history, last year the highest proportion were those that 1354 01:18:40,013 --> 01:18:42,533 Speaker 4: had no trust in all in media. I think it 1355 01:18:42,613 --> 01:18:45,693 Speaker 4: was like forty one percent, and then the other choices 1356 01:18:45,733 --> 01:18:49,693 Speaker 4: were something less. And so I think people are waking 1357 01:18:49,813 --> 01:18:52,253 Speaker 4: up to the fact that we live in a world 1358 01:18:52,253 --> 01:18:55,573 Speaker 4: of propaganda, and I think that's only good for the 1359 01:18:55,573 --> 01:18:58,853 Speaker 4: health of the world, for our sanity, for our actions, 1360 01:18:59,413 --> 01:19:01,613 Speaker 4: because if you don't trust and people who are lying 1361 01:19:01,653 --> 01:19:05,333 Speaker 4: to you, hopefully you can make decisions that are better 1362 01:19:05,373 --> 01:19:05,853 Speaker 4: for your. 1363 01:19:05,693 --> 01:19:07,173 Speaker 3: Welfare and your family's welfare. 1364 01:19:08,453 --> 01:19:13,453 Speaker 2: You know, you've distracted me from some of the directions 1365 01:19:13,453 --> 01:19:16,893 Speaker 2: I would have liked to have gone in, and we're 1366 01:19:16,893 --> 01:19:19,453 Speaker 2: going to conclude in a minute with one of those. 1367 01:19:20,173 --> 01:19:24,013 Speaker 2: But it's occurred to me that, let me put it 1368 01:19:24,013 --> 01:19:27,013 Speaker 2: this way, the book and I have a lot of books, 1369 01:19:28,053 --> 01:19:33,053 Speaker 2: the book is fascinating. It's fascinating for a multitude of reasons. 1370 01:19:33,253 --> 01:19:37,453 Speaker 2: First of all for its information and education. Secondly, because 1371 01:19:37,453 --> 01:19:41,173 Speaker 2: of the way it's written. And I found myself thinking, 1372 01:19:41,413 --> 01:19:46,373 Speaker 2: this is a scene out of a crime novel or 1373 01:19:46,413 --> 01:19:49,533 Speaker 2: some equivalent to that. It was like it was like 1374 01:19:49,653 --> 01:19:55,733 Speaker 2: you weren't really writing about yourself and the circumstances that 1375 01:19:55,813 --> 01:20:02,213 Speaker 2: you found yourself in. You were almost almost being fictitious 1376 01:20:02,213 --> 01:20:07,093 Speaker 2: about it and writing about somebody else. But it was 1377 01:20:07,133 --> 01:20:11,133 Speaker 2: that it's the book has written, your co author or 1378 01:20:11,213 --> 01:20:14,253 Speaker 2: whatever you call her, and you have done a superb job. 1379 01:20:15,173 --> 01:20:16,933 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. 1380 01:20:16,933 --> 01:20:20,573 Speaker 2: There are two things I really want to touch on. 1381 01:20:20,053 --> 01:20:24,573 Speaker 2: One is you made reference toward the end of the book. 1382 01:20:25,013 --> 01:20:29,253 Speaker 2: Here we are in the last two paragraphs of the 1383 01:20:29,373 --> 01:20:35,013 Speaker 2: vaccine Disinformation Campaign, Chapter forty. I am now estranged from 1384 01:20:35,093 --> 01:20:38,053 Speaker 2: not only those who practice medicine inside that system, but 1385 01:20:38,133 --> 01:20:42,253 Speaker 2: from science in general, at least as it's come to 1386 01:20:42,293 --> 01:20:45,013 Speaker 2: be known. I no longer know who and what to 1387 01:20:45,053 --> 01:20:48,413 Speaker 2: trust within the system, and have now chosen to believe 1388 01:20:48,533 --> 01:20:53,493 Speaker 2: nothing that cannot be confirmed by numerous objective data sources 1389 01:20:54,013 --> 01:20:57,893 Speaker 2: using an assessment of the totality of evidence, and not 1390 01:20:58,013 --> 01:21:03,573 Speaker 2: the curated, premeditated conclusions found in high impact medical journal studies. 1391 01:21:04,373 --> 01:21:06,453 Speaker 2: To say it is a sad state of affairs is 1392 01:21:06,493 --> 01:21:09,653 Speaker 2: the understatement of my life. To realize that this state 1393 01:21:09,693 --> 01:21:13,853 Speaker 2: of medical science has existed for decades is both humbling 1394 01:21:14,333 --> 01:21:18,493 Speaker 2: and terrifying. How many people have I hurt using medicines 1395 01:21:18,573 --> 01:21:23,413 Speaker 2: built on lies. In my career, my consolation is that 1396 01:21:23,773 --> 01:21:28,013 Speaker 2: oftentimes it takes great destruction to realize where weakness lies. 1397 01:21:28,773 --> 01:21:31,733 Speaker 2: After a natural disaster leaves a community in ruins, you 1398 01:21:31,773 --> 01:21:35,373 Speaker 2: can bet the rebuilt structures will be engineered to withstand 1399 01:21:35,373 --> 01:21:38,013 Speaker 2: the next one. At least I know what I'm dealing 1400 01:21:38,053 --> 01:21:42,133 Speaker 2: with now, because only good things can come from that knowledge. 1401 01:21:42,733 --> 01:21:46,613 Speaker 2: In one film depiction of Pearl Harbor, the attacks planner, 1402 01:21:46,813 --> 01:21:51,773 Speaker 2: Japanese Admiral Yavamoto declares, I fear all we have done 1403 01:21:52,253 --> 01:21:55,133 Speaker 2: is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with 1404 01:21:55,173 --> 01:22:00,013 Speaker 2: a terrible resolve. Yes, I am awake, and I am 1405 01:22:00,053 --> 01:22:05,533 Speaker 2: filled with a terrible, immense, galvanizing resolve. And I thought 1406 01:22:05,573 --> 01:22:07,573 Speaker 2: that there was a brilliant commentary. 1407 01:22:09,653 --> 01:22:10,013 Speaker 3: It is. 1408 01:22:10,093 --> 01:22:13,933 Speaker 2: It is, unfortunately not what contained what I was, what 1409 01:22:13,973 --> 01:22:17,013 Speaker 2: I was heading for, but it was worth it was 1410 01:22:17,053 --> 01:22:22,213 Speaker 2: worth inserting. You mentioned you mentioned climate Somewhere in that 1411 01:22:22,333 --> 01:22:25,253 Speaker 2: vicinity of what I read. You wrote that you don't 1412 01:22:25,253 --> 01:22:29,573 Speaker 2: believe things, et cetera. And you now don't know that 1413 01:22:29,613 --> 01:22:33,573 Speaker 2: you believe what they're saying about climate change. Basically, that's 1414 01:22:33,573 --> 01:22:36,293 Speaker 2: what you said. You haven't had time to study it, 1415 01:22:37,413 --> 01:22:39,853 Speaker 2: but you hope you will. Climate change was where I 1416 01:22:39,893 --> 01:22:43,573 Speaker 2: started at least twenty five years ago, and I've been 1417 01:22:43,933 --> 01:22:48,373 Speaker 2: I've been warring with the powers that ever since because 1418 01:22:48,373 --> 01:22:51,853 Speaker 2: it's a scam, just like just like so many other things. 1419 01:22:52,253 --> 01:22:56,173 Speaker 2: It's a real scam. And I've done multiple multiple interviews 1420 01:22:56,213 --> 01:23:00,613 Speaker 2: with people over the years on it. But climate is 1421 01:23:01,813 --> 01:23:05,213 Speaker 2: is not controlled by two? 1422 01:23:06,013 --> 01:23:07,093 Speaker 3: Can I say that? 1423 01:23:07,213 --> 01:23:09,773 Speaker 4: Since I wrote that book, which is already I don't know, 1424 01:23:09,813 --> 01:23:13,613 Speaker 4: maybe two three years ago, I haven't spent a lot 1425 01:23:13,653 --> 01:23:17,653 Speaker 4: of time in climate And I'll tell you why, because 1426 01:23:17,733 --> 01:23:21,973 Speaker 4: what makes an expert is pattern recognition. And all the 1427 01:23:22,053 --> 01:23:27,813 Speaker 4: hallmarks of the disinformation campaign around ivermectin are present with 1428 01:23:28,293 --> 01:23:34,173 Speaker 4: man made CO two causing global warming. Now, every single thumbprint, 1429 01:23:34,853 --> 01:23:39,213 Speaker 4: fingerprint of the disinformation against avernmactin is there with global 1430 01:23:39,253 --> 01:23:41,413 Speaker 4: warmer So I don't care. And I also saw a 1431 01:23:42,013 --> 01:23:44,813 Speaker 4: documentary which really kind of stirred me to my soul 1432 01:23:45,653 --> 01:23:48,453 Speaker 4: where and I can't remember what the documentary was called, 1433 01:23:48,493 --> 01:23:54,053 Speaker 4: but they interviewed lots of prominent climate scientists who described 1434 01:23:54,733 --> 01:23:58,053 Speaker 4: what happens to them when they try to present or 1435 01:23:58,093 --> 01:24:02,813 Speaker 4: write papers about their data showing that it's not about 1436 01:24:04,013 --> 01:24:05,253 Speaker 4: man made CO two. 1437 01:24:05,213 --> 01:24:08,973 Speaker 2: Well that was a British That was a British documentary. Eh. 1438 01:24:09,013 --> 01:24:11,213 Speaker 2: And there were two of them, and I don't know 1439 01:24:11,253 --> 01:24:12,933 Speaker 2: whether it was the first one or the second, because 1440 01:24:12,933 --> 01:24:17,253 Speaker 2: I think they felt it a similar similar pattern in BOS. 1441 01:24:17,333 --> 01:24:22,573 Speaker 2: But I more recently interviewed the director of that, the 1442 01:24:22,613 --> 01:24:25,533 Speaker 2: man who put it together. Yeah, and. 1443 01:24:27,413 --> 01:24:30,773 Speaker 4: No hearing them, they were they were basically describing what 1444 01:24:30,893 --> 01:24:35,053 Speaker 4: happened to my career. So like I identified their message 1445 01:24:35,093 --> 01:24:38,413 Speaker 4: resonated and I was like, you go fight that war. 1446 01:24:38,573 --> 01:24:41,213 Speaker 4: I'm fighting this war. But I realized that's a war 1447 01:24:41,573 --> 01:24:44,773 Speaker 4: of disinformation. This whole CO two thing is that, like 1448 01:24:44,813 --> 01:24:47,453 Speaker 4: you said, it's a scam, just like ivermectin is a 1449 01:24:47,453 --> 01:24:48,253 Speaker 4: horsety wormer. 1450 01:24:48,333 --> 01:24:49,213 Speaker 3: It's a scam. 1451 01:24:49,813 --> 01:24:53,333 Speaker 4: And and you know they lose grant funding, they can't 1452 01:24:53,373 --> 01:24:56,733 Speaker 4: do research. I mean, if you're doing inconvenient science to 1453 01:24:56,773 --> 01:25:00,893 Speaker 4: the narrative or to the consensus, your career drives up. 1454 01:25:01,013 --> 01:25:05,373 Speaker 4: So what you're left with are these fields of science 1455 01:25:06,013 --> 01:25:09,973 Speaker 4: which are Yeah, there's consens because they get rid of 1456 01:25:10,053 --> 01:25:13,253 Speaker 4: all the dissidents, they star of the dissonance to death 1457 01:25:14,053 --> 01:25:18,053 Speaker 4: or the excommunicate them, so all you get is parrot heads. 1458 01:25:18,413 --> 01:25:22,453 Speaker 2: Correct. Yes, And I was going to say that I 1459 01:25:22,533 --> 01:25:27,333 Speaker 2: recognize what you said about about the link between the two. 1460 01:25:28,173 --> 01:25:32,213 Speaker 2: The thing that intrigued me was I worked in reverse 1461 01:25:33,333 --> 01:25:38,813 Speaker 2: and climate change scamming trained me up for being very 1462 01:25:38,813 --> 01:25:44,293 Speaker 2: suspicious at the beginning and then developing it on everything 1463 01:25:44,333 --> 01:25:48,613 Speaker 2: to do with COVID nineteen yep. So on that note, 1464 01:25:49,213 --> 01:25:53,173 Speaker 2: I'm going to say that it's been one of the 1465 01:25:53,813 --> 01:25:57,533 Speaker 2: It's been an amazing how long hour and twenty minutes 1466 01:25:59,213 --> 01:26:01,933 Speaker 2: amazing And you're on holiday in Hawaii. You're going to 1467 01:26:01,933 --> 01:26:05,893 Speaker 2: play golf this afternoon.

Well, nice talking 1479 01:26:35,773 --> 01:26:37,213 Speaker 3: to man. Yeah, anytime reach out. 1480 01:26:37,773 --> 01:26:41,253 Speaker 2: Likewise, if you feel this value in it, absolutely thank you, Pierre. 1481 01:26:41,733 --> 01:26:42,973 Speaker 3: All right, lady, take care By. 1482 01:27:01,133 --> 01:27:04,093 Speaker 2: Missus producer the mail room for a podcast two hundred 1483 01:27:04,173 --> 01:27:07,533 Speaker 2: lady four, Hi Layson, did you hear me two eight four? 1484 01:27:07,693 --> 01:27:09,453 Speaker 3: I know, yeah, I heard. 1485 01:27:09,653 --> 01:27:14,893 Speaker 2: I thought perfect, okay, good? Was that good? In anticipation 1486 01:27:14,973 --> 01:27:17,093 Speaker 2: of my next question, how are you good? 1487 01:27:17,533 --> 01:27:19,613 Speaker 6: You've done two eight before? I can't believe it? And 1488 01:27:19,733 --> 01:27:20,693 Speaker 6: I am good? Thank you? 1489 01:27:20,973 --> 01:27:21,493 Speaker 2: Excellent? 1490 01:27:21,813 --> 01:27:23,813 Speaker 6: What a convoluted experience that was. 1491 01:27:23,853 --> 01:27:24,693 Speaker 2: Why don't you prove it? 1492 01:27:24,693 --> 01:27:28,933 Speaker 6: By Sir I Shall Allison says the recent podcast featuring 1493 01:27:28,973 --> 01:27:32,693 Speaker 6: Remish the Kur again is excellent. Wish we could hear 1494 01:27:32,773 --> 01:27:37,773 Speaker 6: him more often. His consistent wisdom, helpful worldview, and wide 1495 01:27:37,813 --> 01:27:40,853 Speaker 6: knowledge is needed to be heard by everyone. I wonder 1496 01:27:40,853 --> 01:27:43,853 Speaker 6: if the long march through the institutions and the ensuing 1497 01:27:43,933 --> 01:27:47,373 Speaker 6: success of that Marxist strategy would have turned out the 1498 01:27:47,373 --> 01:27:50,973 Speaker 6: same if such professors and lecturers as Ramesh had been 1499 01:27:51,013 --> 01:27:54,413 Speaker 6: appointed in most of the universities of the West. Could 1500 01:27:54,493 --> 01:27:57,093 Speaker 6: we have had a class of young with similar wisdom 1501 01:27:57,133 --> 01:28:00,493 Speaker 6: and common sense. At the end, you introduce us to 1502 01:28:00,533 --> 01:28:04,373 Speaker 6: Stephen the medical doctor and read us a tantalizing fragment 1503 01:28:04,413 --> 01:28:10,333 Speaker 6: of his letter necessary information not commonly known, superb. I 1504 01:28:10,413 --> 01:28:12,933 Speaker 6: wonder if he would not be open to being interviewed 1505 01:28:12,933 --> 01:28:17,453 Speaker 6: by you, protecting anonymity in the process latent, and she 1506 01:28:17,733 --> 01:28:20,333 Speaker 6: asks where is one able to read the full submission 1507 01:28:20,373 --> 01:28:22,013 Speaker 6: which he wrote. 1508 01:28:23,253 --> 01:28:27,333 Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that. I will chase it up. 1509 01:28:27,613 --> 01:28:31,973 Speaker 2: How's that I had to yesterday evening I had to 1510 01:28:32,013 --> 01:28:35,573 Speaker 2: explain to somebody who was roughly my age about the 1511 01:28:35,613 --> 01:28:38,653 Speaker 2: long march through the institutions. Never heard of it. I 1512 01:28:38,693 --> 01:28:44,413 Speaker 2: reckon that good eighty percent of the population hasn't interesting. Now, 1513 01:28:44,453 --> 01:28:47,533 Speaker 2: this is from a lawyer hoping you might care to 1514 01:28:47,813 --> 01:28:52,613 Speaker 2: analyze and dismember Simon Wilson's piece in this week's Herald 1515 01:28:53,173 --> 01:28:56,573 Speaker 2: on Trump's first one hundred I don't need to point 1516 01:28:56,573 --> 01:29:00,413 Speaker 2: out the inaccuracies and distortions to you, but were you 1517 01:29:00,493 --> 01:29:03,493 Speaker 2: to do so publicly, would be doing us all a 1518 01:29:03,533 --> 01:29:08,173 Speaker 2: great service. Secondly, just mentioning that's all that I have, 1519 01:29:08,333 --> 01:29:12,053 Speaker 2: I've had to make a firm decision not to listen 1520 01:29:12,093 --> 01:29:15,813 Speaker 2: any longer to Hoskin's American correspondent Richard Arnold's three days 1521 01:29:15,813 --> 01:29:19,973 Speaker 2: a week. Heaven help us. He's Australian, not American, and 1522 01:29:20,133 --> 01:29:23,293 Speaker 2: not sure who employs him. He's freelanced, by the way. 1523 01:29:23,613 --> 01:29:28,573 Speaker 2: Any reference to Trump, any references to Trump are slighting, 1524 01:29:28,813 --> 01:29:34,893 Speaker 2: snide and sneering. The illiteration is excusable. In describing this 1525 01:29:35,013 --> 01:29:39,213 Speaker 2: bigot bluntly, he's full of bs. Never credit for the 1526 01:29:39,253 --> 01:29:44,733 Speaker 2: border or attempts to end the Ukrainian disaster. Hosking seems 1527 01:29:44,773 --> 01:29:48,253 Speaker 2: to defer to him the latter's grasp of political realities. 1528 01:29:48,293 --> 01:29:52,133 Speaker 2: Also suspect. This morning, he predicted that Dutton is going 1529 01:29:52,173 --> 01:29:56,253 Speaker 2: to get thrashed because the polls indicate that he probably 1530 01:29:56,293 --> 01:30:00,453 Speaker 2: will lose. But not to the extent Hoskin should Hosking 1531 01:30:00,533 --> 01:30:03,173 Speaker 2: not to that extent. Hoskin should realize by now that 1532 01:30:03,173 --> 01:30:06,893 Speaker 2: the Aussie Poles are very slewed or should they be skewed? 1533 01:30:07,573 --> 01:30:13,613 Speaker 2: As of course, is their media just like ours? Sincerely, 1534 01:30:15,133 --> 01:30:16,973 Speaker 2: So I've got legal banking for that. 1535 01:30:18,533 --> 01:30:19,173 Speaker 3: He's a lawyer. 1536 01:30:19,813 --> 01:30:24,053 Speaker 2: Oh good, Yeah. Now the answer to your question, what 1537 01:30:24,173 --> 01:30:28,013 Speaker 2: I care to analyze and dismember Simon Wilson's piece? What 1538 01:30:28,213 --> 01:30:31,613 Speaker 2: Simon Wilson, hush. 1539 01:30:31,253 --> 01:30:36,173 Speaker 6: Layton leyden Jin says So far this year, two first 1540 01:30:36,253 --> 01:30:41,293 Speaker 6: world Western countries, Canada and Australia, have submitted themselves to 1541 01:30:41,333 --> 01:30:45,973 Speaker 6: the same leftist government administrations which nearly destroyed them. When 1542 01:30:46,053 --> 01:30:49,853 Speaker 6: Joe Rogan asked Jordan Peterson, who of course is a Canadian, 1543 01:30:50,293 --> 01:30:53,973 Speaker 6: on how Canada might correct her course given the reelection 1544 01:30:54,133 --> 01:30:59,413 Speaker 6: of the Trudeau two point zero government under Carney. Jordan responded, well, 1545 01:30:59,493 --> 01:31:03,213 Speaker 6: people either correct course by waking up or by experiencing 1546 01:31:03,333 --> 01:31:06,453 Speaker 6: severe pain. And it looks to me we've chosen the 1547 01:31:06,493 --> 01:31:11,013 Speaker 6: severe pain route, I guess, says Jen. Australians have also 1548 01:31:11,093 --> 01:31:13,933 Speaker 6: chosen the root of severe pain with the reelection of 1549 01:31:13,973 --> 01:31:20,253 Speaker 6: Albanesi's divisive and leftist Labor government. Australians will realize soon 1550 01:31:20,413 --> 01:31:22,493 Speaker 6: enough that they have just elected a government that will 1551 01:31:22,493 --> 01:31:25,893 Speaker 6: bring the full weight of the Progressive's war against themselves. 1552 01:31:26,493 --> 01:31:29,053 Speaker 6: So I just want to leave Australians with a powerful 1553 01:31:29,173 --> 01:31:35,613 Speaker 6: exhortation from Robert Menzi's Australia's twelfth Prime Minister, and in quotes, 1554 01:31:35,733 --> 01:31:38,533 Speaker 6: Robert Menzie says, what may be before us, we do 1555 01:31:38,613 --> 01:31:41,453 Speaker 6: not know nor how long the journey, but this we 1556 01:31:41,613 --> 01:31:44,693 Speaker 6: do know that truth is our companion on that journey, 1557 01:31:45,013 --> 01:31:47,453 Speaker 6: that truth is with us in the battle, and that 1558 01:31:47,573 --> 01:31:50,373 Speaker 6: truth must win. I know that in spite of the 1559 01:31:50,413 --> 01:31:53,773 Speaker 6: emotions we are all feeling, you will show that Australia 1560 01:31:53,853 --> 01:31:56,613 Speaker 6: is ready to see it through. May God, in his 1561 01:31:56,773 --> 01:31:59,813 Speaker 6: mercy and compassion, grant that the world may soon be 1562 01:31:59,973 --> 01:32:03,173 Speaker 6: delivered from this agony. And then Jin says, what is 1563 01:32:03,173 --> 01:32:06,533 Speaker 6: a speech that declared war against Nazi Germany in nineteen 1564 01:32:06,613 --> 01:32:10,133 Speaker 6: thirty nine got to do with the recent Australian election everything? 1565 01:32:10,733 --> 01:32:13,533 Speaker 6: As Nick Kata said, the Liberals have forgotten how to 1566 01:32:13,533 --> 01:32:18,093 Speaker 6: play politics. Dutton has lost as courage and Australia's freedom 1567 01:32:18,213 --> 01:32:21,213 Speaker 6: is at stake. The Liberal Party needs to gear up 1568 01:32:21,253 --> 01:32:26,413 Speaker 6: for war. Dutton or whoever replaces him, needs to rediscover 1569 01:32:26,533 --> 01:32:30,213 Speaker 6: their courage and battle with truth by their side. Perhaps 1570 01:32:30,293 --> 01:32:32,533 Speaker 6: Mensi's rousing words might help. 1571 01:32:33,293 --> 01:32:35,053 Speaker 2: I might cut that out and stick it on a 1572 01:32:35,093 --> 01:32:40,613 Speaker 2: war truth very good anyway, David, And this is the 1573 01:32:40,653 --> 01:32:42,413 Speaker 2: subject line I'm going to read the subject I never 1574 01:32:42,493 --> 01:32:46,173 Speaker 2: do that. Adirn rubbish the Bill of Rights in Act. 1575 01:32:46,413 --> 01:32:50,853 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, Luxon wants to double down. Christopher Luckxlon 1576 01:32:50,933 --> 01:32:55,893 Speaker 2: now wants to promote MP Katherine Wedd's members bill seeking 1577 01:32:55,893 --> 01:32:59,253 Speaker 2: to ban social media access to children under sixteen years 1578 01:32:59,293 --> 01:33:02,813 Speaker 2: of age. I wrote to Katherine Wedd pointing out that 1579 01:33:02,893 --> 01:33:06,573 Speaker 2: such legislation would be in clear breach of Section fourteen 1580 01:33:06,653 --> 01:33:09,133 Speaker 2: of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, which states 1581 01:33:09,613 --> 01:33:14,013 Speaker 2: everyone has the right to freedom of expression, including the 1582 01:33:14,053 --> 01:33:18,853 Speaker 2: freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and opinions of 1583 01:33:18,893 --> 01:33:22,133 Speaker 2: any kind in any form. I have yet to receive 1584 01:33:22,373 --> 01:33:25,973 Speaker 2: a reply from Catherine wed but according to media reports, 1585 01:33:25,973 --> 01:33:29,253 Speaker 2: she denied her proposed legislation would breach the Bill of 1586 01:33:29,333 --> 01:33:32,773 Speaker 2: Rights Act. I guess since Adirn and her government got 1587 01:33:32,773 --> 01:33:35,493 Speaker 2: away with the totally ignoring the Bill of Rights Act 1588 01:33:35,573 --> 01:33:40,253 Speaker 2: during COVID, Luxen and his National Party in Peace believe 1589 01:33:40,293 --> 01:33:43,813 Speaker 2: they can do the same. Luxeon is attempting to validate 1590 01:33:43,933 --> 01:33:48,333 Speaker 2: this proposed legislation on the premise that it mimics the 1591 01:33:48,613 --> 01:33:53,653 Speaker 2: Australian Online Safety Act. I'm surprised that Australians didn't push 1592 01:33:53,693 --> 01:33:57,453 Speaker 2: back against such draconian legislation, given that it does not 1593 01:33:57,653 --> 01:34:03,173 Speaker 2: conform to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. 1594 01:34:04,013 --> 01:34:06,813 Speaker 2: Both Australia and New Zealand are signatories to this Convention, 1595 01:34:07,413 --> 01:34:11,053 Speaker 2: in which Article nineteen states everyone shall have the right 1596 01:34:11,133 --> 01:34:15,813 Speaker 2: to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to seek, receive, 1597 01:34:16,053 --> 01:34:21,373 Speaker 2: and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, 1598 01:34:21,533 --> 01:34:25,053 Speaker 2: either orally, in writing or in print, or in the 1599 01:34:25,093 --> 01:34:28,973 Speaker 2: form of art, or through any other means of his 1600 01:34:29,173 --> 01:34:35,493 Speaker 2: choice close quote. Clearly Australian politicians have chosen to ignore 1601 01:34:35,533 --> 01:34:40,653 Speaker 2: an international convention which protected their citizens' civil rights, and 1602 01:34:40,653 --> 01:34:43,693 Speaker 2: that is no reason for MP Katherine wedd and Prime 1603 01:34:43,693 --> 01:34:46,933 Speaker 2: Minister Christopher Luxen to ignore the basic rights of New 1604 01:34:47,013 --> 01:34:50,853 Speaker 2: Zealanders as laid out but laid out in both the 1605 01:34:50,933 --> 01:34:54,453 Speaker 2: Convention and the Bill of Rights Act. No government should 1606 01:34:54,493 --> 01:34:58,093 Speaker 2: be mandating social media restrictions to children under sixteen. That 1607 01:34:58,253 --> 01:35:04,493 Speaker 2: responsibility surely rests solely with parents. David, I could discuss 1608 01:35:04,533 --> 01:35:07,733 Speaker 2: this for the next thirty minutes. I reckon because there 1609 01:35:07,773 --> 01:35:11,653 Speaker 2: are arguments on both sides. I mean, kids aren't allowed 1610 01:35:11,693 --> 01:35:13,773 Speaker 2: to do this, that and the other, you know, like 1611 01:35:13,893 --> 01:35:17,853 Speaker 2: drive underage and drink underage and all of those things. 1612 01:35:18,253 --> 01:35:21,813 Speaker 2: So I guess that's there for their own protection, and 1613 01:35:21,893 --> 01:35:26,933 Speaker 2: it is drinking underage and driving underage, then so might 1614 01:35:27,013 --> 01:35:30,853 Speaker 2: be what they're looking at online. That's that's my best 1615 01:35:30,893 --> 01:35:31,413 Speaker 2: shot at it. 1616 01:35:31,533 --> 01:35:34,653 Speaker 6: I think the big thing is, isn't it that despite 1617 01:35:34,773 --> 01:35:38,773 Speaker 6: your thoughts, one's thoughts about how it's a fantastic idea, 1618 01:35:39,173 --> 01:35:42,133 Speaker 6: how is it going to be managed and policed? 1619 01:35:43,413 --> 01:35:48,973 Speaker 2: Answer on the aforementioned breakfast Hosts program, I might add 1620 01:35:49,013 --> 01:35:50,813 Speaker 2: by the way that there's no question in my mind 1621 01:35:50,853 --> 01:35:54,653 Speaker 2: the best broadcaster in the country, but nobody's without their faults. 1622 01:35:55,053 --> 01:35:59,533 Speaker 2: That you don't know until you try something, And there 1623 01:35:59,573 --> 01:36:01,613 Speaker 2: was reference by to the Australian situation too. 1624 01:36:01,653 --> 01:36:05,053 Speaker 6: You know one hundred percent otherwise, and you know otherwise 1625 01:36:05,093 --> 01:36:07,453 Speaker 6: you'd have a very good reason to not try anything 1626 01:36:07,533 --> 01:36:10,013 Speaker 6: because it might fail. So what's the. 1627 01:36:10,013 --> 01:36:12,413 Speaker 2: Point on that, Well, I've been there once or twice. 1628 01:36:12,893 --> 01:36:14,653 Speaker 6: Well, the other thing is you and I have said before, 1629 01:36:14,693 --> 01:36:18,853 Speaker 6: Thank goodness, we have never brought children up, young children 1630 01:36:18,933 --> 01:36:23,213 Speaker 6: up in this environment because they would far rather sit 1631 01:36:23,253 --> 01:36:25,933 Speaker 6: on a phone than go outside and play with a ball. 1632 01:36:26,413 --> 01:36:28,973 Speaker 2: Helllujah that we didn't. 1633 01:36:29,573 --> 01:36:32,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say, what do you mean, right, 1634 01:36:32,293 --> 01:36:33,413 Speaker 3: you're done? Yes? 1635 01:36:33,613 --> 01:36:38,053 Speaker 2: Oh, now I've got two more and I'm going to 1636 01:36:38,293 --> 01:36:40,773 Speaker 2: I'm going to hold them over till next week because 1637 01:36:41,653 --> 01:36:46,533 Speaker 2: they both deserve a bit of time. So we'll put 1638 01:36:46,533 --> 01:36:49,253 Speaker 2: them on the side. Come back next week. So you've 1639 01:36:49,293 --> 01:36:54,893 Speaker 2: got a date, right, you're weird, See you next weekness, 1640 01:36:54,893 --> 01:37:08,773 Speaker 2: as producer, see you laden Now, I presume if you're 1641 01:37:08,813 --> 01:37:12,293 Speaker 2: still listening that it's because you're interested in this area, 1642 01:37:12,493 --> 01:37:13,413 Speaker 2: in this topic. 1643 01:37:14,253 --> 01:37:14,773 Speaker 3: So too. 1644 01:37:15,253 --> 01:37:19,933 Speaker 2: The commentary on the who's Draft Pandemic Agreement, co authored 1645 01:37:19,933 --> 01:37:24,533 Speaker 2: by David Bell, and it begins the first section background. 1646 01:37:24,573 --> 01:37:26,013 Speaker 2: I'm not going to read it all because it runs. 1647 01:37:26,053 --> 01:37:29,093 Speaker 2: I think it's some thirteen pages or not. Hang on 1648 01:37:29,493 --> 01:37:33,733 Speaker 2: seventeen pages. Will have the first page pretty much and 1649 01:37:33,773 --> 01:37:38,133 Speaker 2: that will do. And it begins with background. The Draft 1650 01:37:38,173 --> 01:37:41,493 Speaker 2: Pandemic Agreement the PA has been under development for three 1651 01:37:41,573 --> 01:37:44,453 Speaker 2: years by delegates of one hundred and ninety four member 1652 01:37:44,493 --> 01:37:49,533 Speaker 2: states of the World Health Organization, the Health Agency of 1653 01:37:49,573 --> 01:37:54,013 Speaker 2: the United Nations instituted after the Second World War. The 1654 01:37:54,093 --> 01:37:57,373 Speaker 2: WHO has been pushing to negotiate a Pandemic Treaty or 1655 01:37:57,413 --> 01:38:02,213 Speaker 2: accord to better prepare the world for pandemic preparedness, prevention, 1656 01:38:02,653 --> 01:38:06,333 Speaker 2: and response, in parallel with a new set of amendments 1657 01:38:06,573 --> 01:38:11,013 Speaker 2: to the two thousand and five National Health Regulations the IHR. 1658 01:38:12,053 --> 01:38:14,653 Speaker 2: The IHR amendments were pushed to a vote at the 1659 01:38:14,733 --> 01:38:19,893 Speaker 2: seventy seventh World Health Assembly the WHA in twenty twenty four, 1660 01:38:20,013 --> 01:38:23,373 Speaker 2: less than forty eight hours after negotiations on them finished. 1661 01:38:23,853 --> 01:38:28,533 Speaker 2: This haste was in blatant violation of the who's own 1662 01:38:28,613 --> 01:38:34,373 Speaker 2: procedural requirements. In December of twenty one, the WHA instituted 1663 01:38:34,413 --> 01:38:40,893 Speaker 2: the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body the I INB to negotiate the PA, 1664 01:38:41,373 --> 01:38:45,333 Speaker 2: but this body failed to reach agreements for the twenty 1665 01:38:45,413 --> 01:38:50,693 Speaker 2: twenty four WHA. It was then mandated to finish its 1666 01:38:50,733 --> 01:38:53,413 Speaker 2: work as soon as possible and no later than a year. 1667 01:38:53,933 --> 01:38:58,453 Speaker 2: The WHO has tried to add to the sense of haste, 1668 01:38:58,813 --> 01:39:03,533 Speaker 2: with its Director General DG recently claiming that the next 1669 01:39:03,573 --> 01:39:08,093 Speaker 2: pandemic could occur tomorrow. Drafts of the PA, along with 1670 01:39:08,133 --> 01:39:12,293 Speaker 2: the IHR amendments, seek to centralize management of pandemics and 1671 01:39:12,373 --> 01:39:18,293 Speaker 2: pandemic preparedness in the WHO, considerably expanding its role in 1672 01:39:18,333 --> 01:39:20,973 Speaker 2: public health. Now I realized that as I'm reading this, 1673 01:39:21,933 --> 01:39:23,893 Speaker 2: the PA and the IHR and the DG in the 1674 01:39:23,973 --> 01:39:27,453 Speaker 2: whhow and it will get confusing. But this is how 1675 01:39:27,533 --> 01:39:31,733 Speaker 2: it's written for contexts. The PA and the IHR amendments 1676 01:39:32,133 --> 01:39:37,293 Speaker 2: are squarely aimed at naturally occurring outbreaks, being heavily oriented 1677 01:39:37,773 --> 01:39:42,613 Speaker 2: to surveillance for pathogens arising in particular from animal reservoirs 1678 01:39:43,253 --> 01:39:48,453 Speaker 2: in Braggett's spillovers. The recent COVID nineteen pandemic being almost 1679 01:39:48,493 --> 01:39:52,813 Speaker 2: certainly the result of a laboratory escape, therefore has little 1680 01:39:52,853 --> 01:39:56,653 Speaker 2: relevance to much of the proposed changes. The last time 1681 01:39:56,733 --> 01:40:01,533 Speaker 2: mortality acute outbreak was the Spanish flu over a century 1682 01:40:01,573 --> 01:40:06,893 Speaker 2: ago in the pre antibiotic era. Now equally important is 1683 01:40:06,973 --> 01:40:12,733 Speaker 2: the competence of the wahow in potentially having an expanded role. 1684 01:40:13,493 --> 01:40:17,053 Speaker 2: The WAHO maintained for years that a lab leak was 1685 01:40:17,213 --> 01:40:21,293 Speaker 2: highly unlikely as a cause for COVID, including on its 1686 01:40:21,333 --> 01:40:26,893 Speaker 2: investigative panel people suspected of sharing responsibility for work leading 1687 01:40:26,933 --> 01:40:30,533 Speaker 2: to the probable leak. It then publicly insisted that there 1688 01:40:30,613 --> 01:40:33,693 Speaker 2: was no human to human transmission of the virus, as 1689 01:40:33,813 --> 01:40:37,573 Speaker 2: reports increased of spread in the population of Wuhan and 1690 01:40:37,733 --> 01:40:43,533 Speaker 2: subsequently provided highly flawed and exaggerated case fatality rates. Despite 1691 01:40:43,573 --> 01:40:47,373 Speaker 2: extensive and early evidence of low harm from COVID nineteen 1692 01:40:47,413 --> 01:40:53,213 Speaker 2: to children, the WAHO was essentially silent as schools were 1693 01:40:53,213 --> 01:40:56,133 Speaker 2: closed for hundreds of millions of children, setting the scene 1694 01:40:56,133 --> 01:41:01,773 Speaker 2: for raised child marriage, child labour, and future intergenerational poverty. 1695 01:41:02,533 --> 01:41:08,333 Speaker 2: The who's Kovacs mass vaccination campaign then spent nearly ten 1696 01:41:08,333 --> 01:41:12,533 Speaker 2: ten billion dollars vaccinating people it knew were mostly already 1697 01:41:12,573 --> 01:41:17,053 Speaker 2: immune and never at high risk. Fifty percent of sub 1698 01:41:17,093 --> 01:41:21,813 Speaker 2: Saharan populations were less than twenty years of age now 1699 01:41:21,853 --> 01:41:28,013 Speaker 2: to promote its Pandemic Preparedness Prevention Response PPPR agenda and 1700 01:41:28,093 --> 01:41:32,493 Speaker 2: the increased funding it is requesting to support this, The 1701 01:41:32,573 --> 01:41:36,493 Speaker 2: WHO and the wider global health industry looking to benefit 1702 01:41:37,213 --> 01:41:42,213 Speaker 2: have embarked on an unusual campaign to demonstrate of demonstrable 1703 01:41:42,213 --> 01:41:47,053 Speaker 2: misrepresentation and confusion. Countries in the media have been provided 1704 01:41:47,053 --> 01:41:50,973 Speaker 2: with a series of reports shown to greatly exaggerate the 1705 01:41:51,053 --> 01:41:55,213 Speaker 2: available evidence and citations on the risk of pandemics occurring, 1706 01:41:55,573 --> 01:42:02,333 Speaker 2: exaggerate expected mortality, mostly based on medieval data, and exaggerate 1707 01:42:02,413 --> 01:42:07,093 Speaker 2: the expected return on investment. This has been frustrating, and 1708 01:42:07,133 --> 01:42:11,333 Speaker 2: while the PA calls for better adherence to honesty and evidence, 1709 01:42:12,053 --> 01:42:17,853 Speaker 2: it directs these recommendations to countries rather than the WHO itself. 1710 01:42:18,293 --> 01:42:22,013 Speaker 2: Now to the last paragraph of the sixteen page epic, 1711 01:42:22,853 --> 01:42:27,773 Speaker 2: the PA the Pandemic Agreements requires sixty ratifications by member 1712 01:42:27,813 --> 01:42:32,133 Speaker 2: states and then in bracketts it says plus thirty days 1713 01:42:32,493 --> 01:42:38,213 Speaker 2: to enter into force. The PA Pandemic Agreement requires sixty 1714 01:42:38,333 --> 01:42:43,293 Speaker 2: ratifications by member states plus thirty days to enter into force, 1715 01:42:44,173 --> 01:42:46,693 Speaker 2: which is almost a third of the who's one hundred 1716 01:42:46,693 --> 01:42:50,453 Speaker 2: and ninety four members. This number is higher than the 1717 01:42:50,533 --> 01:42:56,133 Speaker 2: ratifications commonly required for international treaties. It may reflect a 1718 01:42:56,253 --> 01:43:01,133 Speaker 2: disquiet among member states about the usefulness of the PA overall. 1719 01:43:02,053 --> 01:43:06,453 Speaker 2: There may therefore be a considerable period between the WHA 1720 01:43:06,653 --> 01:43:09,493 Speaker 2: vote where a two thirds its majority is likely to 1721 01:43:09,493 --> 01:43:13,453 Speaker 2: be found for an essentially motherhood and meaningless set of statements, 1722 01:43:14,493 --> 01:43:18,973 Speaker 2: and finding sufficient countries to confirm willingness to contribute to 1723 01:43:19,133 --> 01:43:25,853 Speaker 2: further expanding this draining international commercial and bureaucratic agenda. Summarizes 1724 01:43:25,893 --> 01:43:29,093 Speaker 2: it well. It would be refreshing, though, if this could 1725 01:43:29,133 --> 01:43:33,453 Speaker 2: be recognized as the rather pointless and in the long 1726 01:43:33,573 --> 01:43:38,813 Speaker 2: term harmful exercise and removed from the agenda by a 1727 01:43:38,973 --> 01:43:44,653 Speaker 2: may WHA vote against it. So at this point of time, 1728 01:43:44,773 --> 01:43:46,973 Speaker 2: I believe the New Zealand is going to sign up 1729 01:43:47,013 --> 01:43:50,413 Speaker 2: with it, go for the row, which I think is 1730 01:43:50,453 --> 01:43:53,493 Speaker 2: a dumb thing to do. But don't take my word 1731 01:43:53,533 --> 01:43:56,773 Speaker 2: for it. You listen to Pierre Corey, You've heard Ramish 1732 01:43:56,773 --> 01:44:00,893 Speaker 2: the Kur, David Bell on a number of occasions, people 1733 01:44:01,333 --> 01:44:05,933 Speaker 2: who may I suggest, maybe have a better grip on 1734 01:44:06,013 --> 01:44:10,533 Speaker 2: things than the elected some of those, some of those 1735 01:44:10,853 --> 01:44:14,293 Speaker 2: elected to office. Anyway, that takes us out for podcasts 1736 01:44:14,293 --> 01:44:17,933 Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty four.
