Chapter transcript
  1. 00:02:40 Americans ultimately always do the right thing,
  2. 00:02:44 but only after they've tried everything else.
  3. 00:02:46 Now there's an optimist.
  4. 00:02:48 And right now we're trying everything else.
  5. 00:02:59 Hydro...
  6. 00:03:01 Hydra...
  7. 00:03:02 Hydroxychloro...
  8. 00:03:05 Hydroxychloroquine.
  9. 00:03:09 Leave this in.
  10. 00:03:10 We knew these medications were safe.
  11. 00:03:12 We treated these patients for that five-day regimen.
  12. 00:03:15 We gave them 400 milligrams of hydroxychloroquine twice a day on day one.
  13. 00:03:20 On days two through five,
  14. 00:03:21 we gave them 200 milligrams twice a day.
  15. 00:03:25 You see it on TV.
  16. 00:03:26 Chloroquine.
  17. 00:03:27 Hydroxychloroquine.
  18. 00:03:29 I use zinc,
  19. 00:03:29 hydroxychloroquine,
  20. 00:03:31 and azithromycin within the first five days of the onset of symptoms.
  21. 00:03:34 You read about it on social media.
  22. 00:03:37 Doctors from coast to coast are in a war with our medical establishment and research institutions.
  23. 00:03:43 It's obvious that this drug works and would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
  24. 00:03:49 Like some doctors are saying,
  25. 00:03:50 "We use hydroxychloroquine and Z-Paks,
  26. 00:03:53 and I've had amazing success treating patients.
  27. 00:03:56 Banned.
  28. 00:03:56 Video banned.
  29. 00:03:57 Dangerous information." My own doctor said,
  30. 00:04:00 "Hydroxychloroquine is fantastic if you catch it early." A very,
  31. 00:04:04 very safe drug can be taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers.
  32. 00:04:09 It's got over 50 years of safety record.
  33. 00:04:12 Cardiac events were never,
  34. 00:04:14 ever a major concern with this drug.
  35. 00:04:17 It keeps people out of the hospital.
  36. 00:04:19 I can't think of a single viral infection where the best advice is to wait two weeks before we start treatment in the hospital.
  37. 00:04:27 That's the current NIH recommendations.
  38. 00:04:29 Americans are appalled by this.
  39. 00:04:31 But if you ask your doctors what's going on,
  40. 00:04:33 they don't want to talk about it.
  41. 00:04:35 When patients would bring a prescription for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to a trained drugstore,
  42. 00:04:39 the pharmacists were denying the treatment,
  43. 00:04:41 which to me is outrageous.
  44. 00:04:43 Many of the developed countries around the world that are actually prohibiting doctors and sanctioning them if it is prescribed to their patients.
  45. 00:04:52 And such a violation,
  46. 00:04:53 I have to stress,
  47. 00:04:54 has never occurred before for any medication ever.
  48. 00:04:58 What if you found out that most of the doctors have not done the research they quote or even read the studies?
  49. 00:05:04 This is medicine,
  50. 00:05:05 and medicine should be based on data and science.
  51. 00:05:07 What if you found out that the public doctors we trust were ignoring and in some cases hiding studies that hold the key to saving your life,
  52. 00:05:15 the lives of the ones you love,
  53. 00:05:17 and the fate of an entire nation?
  54. 00:05:19 This is about science and data.
  55. 00:05:21 There are randomized trials that show that it doesn't work.
  56. 00:05:24 There are observational trials that show that it might work.
  57. 00:05:27 There are some studies that suggest that it might work.
  58. 00:05:30 There are other studies that show that it doesn't work at all.
  59. 00:05:33 Changes to basic science methodology,
  60. 00:05:35 threats from hospitals,
  61. 00:05:37 and influence in every level of our medical establishment and government have rendered your doctors mute,
  62. 00:05:42 blind,
  63. 00:05:43 or worse,
  64. 00:05:44 complicit.
  65. 00:05:46 To the charge you've been misleading the American public,
  66. 00:05:49 I have not been misleading the American public under any circumstances.
  67. 00:05:54 We're not treating the COVID guys.
  68. 00:05:56 For real,
  69. 00:05:56 we're not treating the COVID.
  70. 00:05:58 Nobody is listening.
  71. 00:06:00 America outspends almost every other nation per person on medical care.
  72. 00:06:05 Yet we had the greatest number of COVID deaths.
  73. 00:06:07 Compared to other countries,
  74. 00:06:09 our COVID response was abysmal.
  75. 00:06:11 What did these countries know,
  76. 00:06:12 and how can we prevent this from happening again?
  77. 00:06:15 To understand this,
  78. 00:06:16 we have to understand our history,
  79. 00:06:18 and the history of hydroxychloroquine.
  80. 00:06:21 What is hydroxychloroquine?
