Bartlesville Radio: The area’s best source for news, weather and sports!

The Bartlesville Community Center was at overflow capacity Tuesday night to hear Dr. Peter McCullough.

 

Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published “Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection” the first synthesis of sequenced multidrug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine.  He has 35 peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has commented extensively on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in TheHill.com.

 

Dr. McCullough has been on several television news programs over the past 18 months with such hosts as Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham on FOX New Channel and more. Jonathan Bolding of Bartlesville told the audience prior to introcimg the Doctor that he saw one of Dr. McCullough;s videos on YouTube and emailed him asking if he would come to Bartlesville to talk about COVID-19 to which the Doctor agreed.

 

McCullough says the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the world and shone a light on our medical system. Pandemics require a multi-prong approach, including early treatment, preventative measures, hospitalization, and vaccines.

 

Dr. McCullough has examined each of these prongs. In his testimonies to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, he reported that essential, effective life-saving treatments were suppressed. Following this thread, he explains the origins of the virus, how it spreads, and the validity of testing.

 

Tuesday night, Dr. McCullough explained his findings and provided many peer-reviewed research results and the federal government's own facts and statistics to prove his points.

 

 

 

In summary: McCullough says acute COVID-19 has a great range of clinical severity from asymptomatic to fatal. In the absence of clinical trials and guidelines, with hospitalizations and mortality mounting, it is prudent to deploy treatment for COVID-19 based on pathophysiological principles. He has proposed an algorithm based on age and comorbidities that allows for a large proportion to be monitored and treated at home during self-isolation with the aim of reducing the risks of hospitalization and death.
