Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is Red Pilled America. The revelations of doctor Fauci's
diary have us all angry reliving the lunacy of the
COVID shutdowns. We must never forget how COVID brought a
taste of communism into America. While we're working on new episodes,
this week, we'll be playing a few episodes from the
COVID era that we haven't replayed in years, including this
one titled Pharmageddon, which was originally broadcast on October first,

(00:27):
twenty twenty one, at a time when shows were being
deplatformed for stories like this And if you want to

Now on with the show. It's hard to argue with
the fact that COVID has brought us closer to communism.

(00:48):
Just a few years ago, a communist America sounded preposterous,
but it doesn't sound so crazy anymore.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
If you want to stay unvaccinated, that's your choice. But
if you want to travel, you better go get that vaccine.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
And today we're bringing it to one hundred percent of
the workforce must stay home.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Proof of COVID nineteen vaccination will be required at bars, nightclubs,
and more in Los Angeles County.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
My message to unvaccinated Americans is this, what more is
there to wait for?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
As big government expands its reach in the wake of
the COVID outbreak, What has the virus taught us about communism?

Speaker 5 (01:28):
I'm Patrick CARELCI and I'm Adriana Cortes.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
And this is Red Pilled America, a storytelling show.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
This is not another talk show covering the day's news.
We're all about telling stories.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Stories. Hollywood doesn't want you to hear stories.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
The media mocks stories about everyday Americans that the globalist ignore.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
You can think of Red Pilled America as audio documentaries,
and we promise only one thing, the truth. Welcome to
Red Pill America. There's no denying it. COVID has given

(02:13):
America a taste of communism. We feel it in everyday
life shutdowns, mask mandates, government run health care, cancel culture censorship,
vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, proposed interstate travel bands, government forced bankruptcies,
rent moratoriums. The list goes on and on as big
government expands its reach in the wake of the COVID outbreak.

(02:35):
What has the virus taught us about communism? To find
the answer, we talked to doctor Pierre Cory, a critical
care expert who's been on the front lines of the
COVID fight from day one. We also hear from Tyler Boyer,
COO of student organizing Powerhouse Turning Point USA. The COVID

(02:56):
crisis has touched these two men in very different ways,
but what they've learned teaches us a lot about the
essence of communist.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
It was April twenty twenty one and reports hit the
western world that India was entering a massive crisis.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
Tonight, what officials in India call a tsunami of coronavirus
cases is fast becoming a global catastrophe. For the third
day in a row, the country shattering world records more
than three hundred and forty five thousand cases reported in
the last twenty four hours, nearly one million in the
last three days alone.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
India Supreme Court says the country is facing a national
emergency as its healthcare system buckles under a second wave
of coronavirus patients.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
The frontline an emergency room in a COVID hospital just
about standing under the weight of an unfolding disaster. A
patient who's hardly breathing is brought in.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
This desperate young woman crying out. This hospital is useless,
her mother taken away on a rusty gurney. Stricken hospitals
pleading with the federal government to provide emergency supplies of
oxygen after twenty people reportedly died without it in Delhi,
the death toll so high mass cremations are being held

(04:21):
in the street.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
As April twenty twenty one progressed, the COVID crisis continued
to grow with no end in sight.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
The latest official figures show around seventeen million coronavirus cases
have been recorded so far, and for the fifth day
in a row, the Indian government has reported more than
three hundred thousand infections, a world record.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
What sort of number of infections will there be by
the time at peaks? The numbers of infections at peak
are predicted to be somewhere around five hundred thousand to
nine hundred thousand per day. I mean, having a lockdown
in cities like Delhi or Bangalore or Mumbai will help.
But you know, these events the election campaigning the election

(05:05):
rallies and the festivals need to stop. Otherwise we are
taking the virus to all parts of the country.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
And the virus did spread, but not because of lack
of lockdowns. No, it was actually a fear of lockdowns
in big metropolitan areas that spread COVID nineteen to other
parts of the country, including the Indian state of Utar Pradesh.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Millions of migrant workers returned home to escape lockdowns, and
many of them were from Utar Pradeshi working in other cities,
and so they brought this huge influx.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
That's doctor Pierre Corey, president of Frontline COVID nineteen Critical
Care Alliance or FLCCC. With a population well over two
hundred million, Uttar Pradesh is India's largest state. Again, doctor
Pierre Corey, I.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Think it would be like the eighth largest country in
the world if it was a country.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
It's a very poor state.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Those two factors, a massive population and poverty made the
Indian state extremely vulnerable to an influx of virus infected citizens,
as cases surged by a factor of four in the
Indian state of Maharashtra. Utah Pradesh's cases jumped by a
factor of one hundred and twenty five. In just one month,

(06:16):
infections were skyrocketing, so leaders in the Indian state had
to do something, and do it quickly. They put together
over two thousand government teams and on May fifth, twenty

(06:36):
twenty one, they began moving across Udar Pradesh to nearly
one hundred thousand villages in seventy five districts. The World
Health Organization or WHO, accompanied the teams on their first
day and monitored their visits of ten thousand households. Two
days later, The WHO published a glowing report of their effort,
with the featured story on their website entitled Udar Pradesh

(06:59):
Going the Last Mile to stop COVID nineteen. In the report,
court the WHO documented what Udar Pradesh was doing, stating quote,
each monitoring team has two members who visit homes in
villages and remote hamlets to test everyone with symptoms of
COVID nineteen using rapid antigen test kits. Those who test
positive are quickly isolated and given a medicine kit with

(07:22):
advice on disease management end quote. The WHO held up
udar Pradesh as a shiny example of a government that
was getting it right, but in their article, the WHO
failed to mention what was actually included in the medicine
kit the teams were distributing. It was an automission. With
the crisis raging elsewhere in India, something miraculously happened in

(07:45):
Udar Pradesh. By mid June twenty twenty one, state officials
announced that new cases had dropped an astonishing ninety seven
point one percent. Again doctor Pierre.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Corey, but the cliff like decrease in cases and deaths
was phenomenal.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Then, just three months later, in mid September twenty twenty one,
the Udar Pradesh government made another stunning announcement. Thirty four
Udar Pradesh districts were declared COVID free and on the
day of their announcement, only fourteen new cases were recorded

(08:23):
throughout the entire Indian state.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Uttar Pradesh has essentially eradicated COVID from a state of
hundreds of millions of people. In the last one hundred
and eighty six thousand tests that they've done, they've had
twenty one positive cases, which is point zero one percent,
which is essentially zero.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
How did they do it well? The mainstream media tied
the success to the COVID nineteen vaccine, but that assertion
failed the smell test. By the end of May twenty
twenty one, just as udar Pradesh was in the midst
of their miraculous recovery, India's most widely circulated magazine reported
that udar Pradesh had only fully vaccinated one point sixty

(09:04):
seven percent of its population, almost three weeks after the
WHO praised the state for its effort attacking the surge.
By the time udar Pradesh had announced its eradication of COVID,
Indian newspaper at the Times of India reported that udar
Pradesh had only fully vaccinated eleven percent of its population.
For comparison, in the same month, the CDC announced of

(09:26):
the United States had fully vaccinated fifty five percent of
its population, and the US has not even come close
to eradicating COVID nineteen. But udar Pradesha's success is even
more stunning when you compare it to the Indian state

(09:46):
of Kerala. According to India's News eighteen, by late August
twenty twenty one, Kerala had fully vaccinated twenty percent of
its population. Yet on August twenty fifth, the Indian state
reported thirty one thousand, four hundred and forty five new
cases in the scene one time period, udar Pradesh, with
seven times the population of Kerala, had fully vaccinated less

(10:08):
than five percent of its population. But on the same
August twenty fifth day, udar Pradesh only clocked in twenty
two positive COVID cases. In other words, udar Pradesha's success
could not possibly have been tied to vaccinations. So what
was it if we're to believe udar Pradesha's government's numbers,

(10:29):
how was the Indian state able to essentially eradicate COVID
nineteen well, along with other therapeutics, the Indian state tied
its success to a drug that came into medical use
in nineteen eighty one, again doctor Pierre Corey.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
They've literally eradicated it through a policy of just widespread
and systematic use of ivromactin. And I just have to
tell you, I'm one of the world experts. It is
literally the penicillin of covid. If you didn't hear about
this before, Patrick, it's by design that story is not
getting picked up. It's all in all the Indian news newspapers.
It's not a secret. The architects and the health ministers

(11:06):
of that state are starting to talk. They're starting to
show what they did and what the results are, and
you're not hearing about it in this country.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Why has there been a blackout of this stunning success. Well,
doctor Corey's experience on the front lines of what's been
called the ivermectin Wars goes a long way in providing
the answer. His journey shows just how far America has
drifted from its core principles. When first word of the
coronavirus outbreak hit America, doctor Corey was in a position

(11:43):
of leadership.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I was the chief of the Critical Care Service and
the medical director of the Trauma and Life Support Senate
at the University of Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
And when we started hearing about this, you know, outbreak.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
In Wuhan, I remember being in meetings with high level
leaders who are life it's not going to come here.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
This is all overstated.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
But then Italy had an outbreak. Then a nursing home
in Washington State emergency.

Speaker 8 (12:17):
HI, this is life care setting up Kirkland. We have
a lady in the lobby days having chest pain and
shortness of breath.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
By the time Seattle got hit, we knew it was coming,
and so I spent months as a clinical leader preparing
for this disease to come hit us. And remember, I'm
a pulmonary and critical care physician, and what broke out
in the world a pandemic of a pulmonary and critical
care disease, a severe lung infection, and that's what people
die from. It's from lung failure, and that's my expertise.

(12:47):
So you know, it was time to rise and just
shine here. You know.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
I wouldn't say it's a calling. I don't want to sound.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
So egotistical, but I really felt like this is a
particular time in my life and history and that I
got to go after this thing.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
It took a few weeks for COVID to hit doctor
Corey's town of Madison, Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
I saw my first cases in April.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
At the time, doctor Corey was already communicating with his mentor,
doctor Paul E. Merrick, a pulmonary and critical care legend
based in Norfolk, Virginia. Doctor Merrick is one of the
most cited scientists on the planet, and in critical care
and emergency medicine, he is ranked number two in the world.
The two joined a team of other highly credentialed critical

(13:33):
care doctors and formed the frontline COVID nineteen Critical Care Alliance.
The team's mission was to develop coronavirus treatment protocols.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
So my group formed very quickly, was put together by
Professor Paul Merrick. He's famous for his protocols.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
Technically speaking, a medical protocol are treatment guidelines for a
specific clinical situation based on a patient's symptoms. So outside
of his work at the university, Doctor Corey joined doctor
Merrick's team to help develop a protocol for COVID patients.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
And we just started like consuming and papers. I was
learning everything I could about COVID, and we were calling doctors.
We had zoom calls with Chinese doctors, we had zoom
calls with people from Italy, and I know someone in
every ICU in New York cities, and so I was
on the phone every day.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
They were trying to figure out from those on the
ground what was and wasn't working.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
As a group of experts, we just consumed everything we
could about COVID and all we were focused on is
developing effective treatment protocols and evolving with the data.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
As the crisis progressed, doctor Corey began to experience something
new in his leadership position at the university, of Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
This strange thing started to happen where I've never had
this happening before. In fact, I've always been free range
to treat patients as i saw fit.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
But then all of a sudden, there was a shift.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
What we were starting to do as the patient started
to roll in is we had daily clinical meetings so
that we'd have these calls calls with.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Key staff and the hospital leadership, and.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
I was kind of running the calls, and I would
update everyone on the new policy or procedure that we
would do with this. I would give some guidance on
how to clinically manage them.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Doctor Corey was learning from his colleagues on the ground
in Detroit, in New York City and other hard hit
areas that a treatment for the most of your COVID
patients was being identified.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
One of my mentors, he told me, they couldn't get
anyone off of a ventilator, They couldn't prevent anyone from
going on to ventilator. Guess what they started corticosteroids, And
he said, the entire landscape shifted.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
So during his leadership calls at the hospital, he began
recommending the use of cordico steroids.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
I tried to institute a blood thinning protocol because it
was clear they were clotting at degrees I had never
seen in my life. I was working with world famous
hematologists who all were saying, we need to anti coagulate
these patients, we need to thin their blood. But then
on these calls I started to talk about the potential
role of blood thinning, of the potential role of using corticosteroids.
And what was happening is the leadership started to speak

(16:12):
up on these calls, and I was basically being drowned out,
and my leaders, my superiors were essentially saying, follow the guidelines.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Follow the guidelines.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
All of the academic societies around the world started putting
out guidelines, and there weren't really guidelines. They offered nothing.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
According to doctor Corey, there was no consensus on treatment
in the guidelines derived by big national and international societies,
so his leadership reverted to a treatment process he'd never
seen before.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
I was being told by people above me that we
should do nothing, meaning supportive care only, and supportive care
only for viiolesyndrome. It just means like fluids if you're dehydrated,
oxygen if you need oxygen, tile and all for fever.
You're just treating symptoms and you're giving support, no specific therapies. Normally,
advances and discoveries happened organically on the ground by those

(17:06):
on the front lines. You discover that you do trial
and effort, you using risk and benefit, and you find
stuff that works, and then you feed it backwards and
then they can design studies to test, you know, some
of your discoveries and validate them. Right Whereas what happened
here is everything became top down and we got crushed,
those of us on the front lines treating this disease.
Like I just gave you the examples, and suddenly we

(17:29):
were being told what to do and what not to do.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
And I found it.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
I found it just suffocating, and I saw the patients
were suffering, like when you when you suddenly flip that
process and I wouldn't I don't want to use words
like totalitarian, but became very strict, very oppressive, and very
top down, and.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
We're told no, you can't do it. Like I've never
seen this.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
We got restricted from practicing medicine the way we have
practiced since inception. And so I pretty quickly saw that,
like I refuse to stay in a person of leadership
when they were literally telling me to dictate the practice
of medicine to those under me in a way that

(18:09):
I fundamentally disagree with. These patients were dying at rates
we'd never seen. I said, clearly, we can't work together anymore,
and I asked for yourmanitary and leave to go to
New York City because at the time, all of the
national critical care societies were sending out emails to all
their members all intenseness.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Come to New York City.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
He felt like it was his calling, so he took
a leave of absence and went to the epicenter of
the crisis.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
And I entered a catastrophe. I mean, I'll never forget
what happened in New York. I ran my old ICU
for five weeks and it was is indescribable.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
What we were seeing is poor patients.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
The things were about to get even more intense for
doctor Corey because he was about to enter the national spotlight,
and what he experienced was life altering.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
I'm a changed man.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
The things that I've learned that I've seen the distortion
of science, and I wish I hadn't learned this, But
I'll never be the same again.

Speaker 9 (19:06):
All Right, If you guys know anything about me, you
know that I am crazy about my dogs.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
And let me tell you something. My English bulldog Pablo
had been suffering with the worst skin allergies, and then
I started giving him rough greens in his food, and boy,
what a difference that made. This stuff is amazing. Now
Pablo is a rough greens dog for life. Rough grain
supports long term health by providing live, bioavailable nutrients including

(19:32):
essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and omega oils. Rough
greins promotes longevity by addressing common nutritional deficiencies found in.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
Processed dog food. I don't just recommend rough grains. I
depend on it to keep my dogs happy and healthy.
Traditional dog food is shelf stable for years because it's lifeless.
Rough greens brings the nutrition back packed with life vitamins, minerals, probiotics,
digestive enzymes, and omega oils. Rough greens isn't dog food.

(20:02):
It's a lie.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
I have nutritional supplement you add to your dog's food.
You don't have to change your dog's food to improve
your dog's health. Just add a scoop of rough Greens.
It's that easy, and I promise you you will not
regret it. Don't change your dog's food, Just add rough Greens.
Roughgreens is offering a free Jumpstart trial bag. You just
cover shipping. Use discount code RPA to claim your free

(20:24):
Jumpstart Trial bag at roughgreens dot com. That's ruff greens
dot com promo code RPA. So don't change your dog's food,
just add Roughgreens and watch the health benefits come alive.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Welcome back to red pilled America. So as the coronavirus
reached Middle America, doctor Pierre Corey was the chief of
the critical care unit at the University of Wisconsin. He
was getting frustrated because the leadership at the hospital was
tying his hands, not allowing him to treat COVID patients
as he saw fit. So he asked to take a
leave of absence and went to New York City. But

(20:59):
things were about to get even more intense for the
critical care doctor. In May twenty twenty, doctor Corey caught
the eye of Wisconsin Senator Republican Ron Johnson.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
You couldn't understand why the NIH and those groups were
not putting out a treatment protocol beyond supportive care only,
and in his words, he wanted the doctors to take
their gloves off.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Senator Johnson had become a big proponent of early treatment
in his research. He saw that the Frontline COVID nineteen
Critical Care Alliance or FLCCC, had put out a treatment
protocol and that one of the members of the group,
doctor Corey, was from his home state. So the Senator
asked doctor Corey to testify before Congress.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Doctor Pierre Corey.

Speaker 10 (21:39):
I just spoke with him last week and he's currently
on the front lines in New York. And the reason
I wanted to put him first is to give us
a little bit of hope. What he is talking about
in terms of effective therapy once in individuals had been hospitalized,
I think is very encouraging, and I wanted to give
him enough time to kind of speak to that.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
And I testify to May twenty, cortical stars were critical
and life saving in this disease, and I used a
number of reasons for that. We want to call attention
to the world to what we think is a tragic
error in analysis of medical data, and that is the
fact that all societies from the beginning of COVID had
advised against the use of cortico steroids in COVID nineteen.

(22:22):
We think that is a fatal and tragic flaw. And
after that testimony, boy did I get crushed.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
The university was not happy with me.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
But I had actually resigned the morning of that testimony
because I had already known I was going to go,
and yet they were went after me because I went
against the entire world.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Well guess what happened?

Speaker 11 (22:44):
Patrick At Oxford University in Britain. Researchers say a commonly
used anti inflammatory drug can and has saved the lives
of the sickest COVID nineteen patients. The drug is dexamethasone,
a steroid that cut the depth rate by twenty percent
for patients on oxygen and thirty five percent pre patients
on ventilators.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Doctor Corey was proven right.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Standard of care changed overnight. And now it was seven
weeks later. But in those seven weeks I was getting
roundly criticized an attack for advocating something that they thought
was going to increase mortality.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Through the summer of twenty twenty, doctor Corey and his
colleagues at the fl CCC wrote a paper on their
therapy protocol. They also continued to devour the new data
that was coming in from all over the world.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
As were constantly reviewing data, and we were looking at
all the trials of the different therapeutics that were being used,
and they were all negative, meaning they just were not
showing benefits of numerous therapeutics.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
But one drug started to enter their radar.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
You know, we'd always had ivermectin as a question mark.
We didn't have it on our protocols, but it had
some theoretic ration.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Ivermectin is a drug discovered in nineteen seventy five by
a Japanese biochemist named Satoshi Amura, and.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
It's a substance made by a backterier and it is
wickedly powerful against parasites.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Satoshi Amura worked with the scientists from the pharmaceutical company
Murk to refine it. Merk then began marketing ivermectin as
a veterinary anti parasitic in nineteen eighty one. Its massive
success in this application jiggered Mirk to collaborate with the
World Health Organization to tested safety and efficacy in humans, and.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
They found that it's one of the safest drugs and
they started to use it against parasitic diseases and they
noticed that it could absolutely cure any one of numerous
parasite infestations.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
So in nineteen eighty seven, Merk registered evermectin in France
for use in humans.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
And what happened is the WHL and MERK.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Merk actually donated hundreds of millions of doses over decades
for WHL public distribution programs and a number of continents
across the world. It essentially eradicated two of the most
terrible parasitic diseases known to man, and for that impact

(25:03):
they won the Nobel Prize because it had one of
the most magnificent public health impacts in the history of medicine.
Right It rid the world of uncle sirchiasis, which is
known as river blindness. And in Africa there was communities
where half the men at the age of forty were
blind because of this parasite and they would be led
around the village by children with sticks.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
It was like that was the thing.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
When i evermcton was taken in these African villages, it
stopped the parasite in its tracks, saving millions of Africans
from going blind. Since its inception murk has distributed over
four billion doses to humans. Ivermiicten earned the label wonder
drug because of its overwhelming safety and humans, scientists began
investigating if it could impact other diseases.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Ten years ago.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
They started doing basic science studies in the lab against
viruses and it was showing the factive in the lab
against Zeka denge West Nile HIV influenza.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
And because it was showing anti viral properties, scientists began
looking at it for COVID nineteen. In April twenty twenty
during the peak of the first outbreak.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
And then April an Australian group did a trial a
basic science like a cell culture model against stars COVID
two and it obliterated the virus from the cell culture model.
And so you had all this basic science data as
an anti viral. The problem is, right, a lot of
things are look good at the bench, but they don't
make it to the bedside, right they failed for safety

(26:30):
or concentration or whatever.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
So a few doctors around the world began testing it
in humans who were at high risk to contracting COVID.
By October twenty twenty, some of those trials began to surface.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
We just started to see about maybe three or four
or five trials pop up from different centers and countries
diverse throughout the world that were like absurdly positive, and
we were really shaking because the consistency and reproducibility around
the therapeutic in small trials, different trials, different phases was
remarkably effective. And so we said, you know, this could

(27:08):
be really that anti viral we're looking for, and it
has also has numerous anti inflammatory properties. And if you
think about this disease, it's really two phases. The first
phase is a viral syndrome, viral replicative phase, right, you know,
we have your typical cold or flu type symptoms. And
then in a minority, what happens is the viral debris
causes this intense reaction in the lung and you go

(27:31):
into a pulmonary phase, which was hyperinflammatory. Ivermactin has potent
anti viral properties and potent anti inflammatory properties.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
And Paul says it best.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
He's like, this is a gift to us, Like this
is the drug you would want a design to go
after this disease. You'd want something which had those two
sets of properties.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
But the problem was the information about ivermectin was not
getting out to the medical world.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
And we realized that the traderditional systems and channels of
disseminating scientific knowledge was broken. Repurpose drug papers were not
getting published.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Repurpose drugs are drugs that have already proven their safety
and efficacy in humans for one disease, and so are
investigated as therapeutic drugs for a different disease. The problem
is that repurpose drugs aren't sexy in the pharmaceutical industry.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
The way the pharmaceutical industry works is one of the
principles is they have to exterminate the use of repurpose drugs.
And the reason why is that if you have an
effect of repurposed drug, it absolutely obliterates the market for
your new novel very expensive therapeutics.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Typically the patent for repurpose drugs are expired. Therefore, a
big pharma can't make monopoly level profits on repurpose drugs.
They are cheap generics that anyone can make. In other words,
there is no incentive for big pharma to get behind ivermectin,
but there was for doctor Corey and his colleagues. They
wanted to save lives in October twenty twenty, doctor Corey

(29:05):
decided to make some noise about ibermctin is a therapeutic
for COVID nineteen.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
And I wrote this really comprehensive review paper. It's antiviral property,
the anti inflammatory prevention trials, early treatment trials, late treatment trials,
even long COVID, we know it's effective.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
In On November thirteenth, twenty twenty, they published the paper
and I put it up.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I was like shaking, because I mean, I've never I've
never seen a therapeutic with this much consistent data. And
I already started treating patients, and boy was I seeing
these incredible responses. And so I literally thought like our
group may actually have contributed and identified the solution to
this disease their early treatment and prevention. And I really thought, like,

(29:46):
you know, this was an incredible moment in the history.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
But doctor Corey and his team were about to experience
something they never expected. They were about to see what
it was like to face the big pharma beast. More

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Welcome back to red Pilled America. So on October thirteenth,
twenty twenty, doctor Corey and his colleagues published a paper
reviewing ivermectin as a therapeutic for COVID nineteen.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
And so I literally thought like our group may actually
have contributed and identified the solution to this disease their
early treatment and prevention.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
But doctor Corey and his team were about to experience
something they never expected. They were about to see what
it was like to face the big pharm a beast.
On December eighth, twenty twenty, doctor Corey was asked to
testify before Congress on his ivermectin paper. He met the
committee with the best of intentions, but when Democrat Senator
Peters stepped to the microphone, he opened with a slanderous

(30:59):
attack on doctor Corey.

Speaker 12 (31:01):
Last month, this committee held a herring was billed as
a review of early outpatient treatments for coronavirus. Unfortunately, that
hearing amplified unverified theories about treatments that are not supported
by the scientific community. Sadly, it appears at today's hearing
is going to follow the same path playing politics with

(31:21):
public health.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
You know, the senator for my own party, because it
was Republican chairman, he essentially he walked out and dismissed
us all as like as political having political motivation.

Speaker 12 (31:32):
The panelists have been selected for their political not their
medical views, and for that reason, the composition of the
panel creates a false and terribly harmful impression of the
scientific and medical consensus.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I used to be a Democrat. Now I don't have
a home.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
I was so insulted and so angry, like I don't know.
It kind of just fired me up, and I gave
apparently what was a very impassioned speech because it went viral.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
I just want to start out.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
I didn't think i'd have to say this, but I
want to register my offense. At the ranking members opening statement,
I was discredited as a politician. I am a physician
and a man of science. I have done nothing, nothing
but commit myself to scientific truth and the care of patience.
And to hear that I'm here because of a political angle.
I am not a politician. I'm a physician. And I

(32:20):
was just like I don't know. I was just a
ticked off doctor that day. I want to start out
by saying that I'm not speaking as an individual. I'm
speaking on behalf of the organization that I'm a part of.
We are a group of some of the most highly
published physicians in the world. We came together early on
in the pandemic, and all we have sought is to

(32:41):
review the world's literature on every facet of this disease,
trying to develop effective protocols. You just mentioned that I
was here in May and I touted. I wouldn't say touted.
I recommended that it was critical that we use cortical
starois in this disease when all of the national and
international healthcare organizations said we cannot use those That turned

(33:02):
out to be a life saving recommendation. I am here
again today with a new recommendation. In the last nine months,
in our review of all of the literature, as a group,
we have done nothing but try to figure out how
to identify a repurposed and available.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Drug to treat this illness.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
We have now come to the conclusion after nine months,
and I have to point out I am severely troubled
by the fact that the nah, the FDA and the CDC.
I do not know of any task force that was
assigned or compiled to review repurposed drugs in attempt to
treat this disease. Everything has been about novel and or

(33:41):
expensive pharmaceutically engineered drugs, things like toastalisum MAP and rendsevere
and monoclodal antibodies in vaccines. We have one hundred years
of medicine development. We are expert in all the medicines
we use, and I do not know of a task
force that has been focused on repurposed drugs.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
I will tell you.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
That my group and our organization, I will say that
we have filled that void, and I'm here to tell
you we have.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
A solution to this crisis.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
There is a drug that is proving to be of
miraculous impact. And when I say miracle, I do not
use that term lightly, and I don't want to be
sensationalized when I say that it's a scientific recommendation based
on mountains of data that has emerged in the last
three months.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
I was just a ticked off doctor that day and
who you know, and I was rippen because I knew
we had a solution, and I couldn't believe that we
were being ignored by our government and that no one
was taking this seriously and that there wasn't, you know,
an immediate systematic deployment of this medication. Mountains of data
have emerged from many centers and countries around the world
showing the miraculous effectiveness of ivermectin. It basically obliterates transmission

(34:51):
of this virus. On one of the YouTube channels, it
hit eight million views in the US, But I know, immediately,
like around the world, like people copied that speech translated
and was all around the world in many, many different countries.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
The big Farmer response to doctor Corey's testimony was bizarre. Merk,
the company that invented ivermectin, began to question the drug safety.
In a February press release addressing studies on the drugs
use for COVID nineteen, the company stated that there was
quote a concerning lack of safety data in the majority
of studies enote it was an odd position given their

(35:39):
website boast to having distributed four billion doses of ivermectin
too humans since nineteen eighty seven to eliminate river blindness.
Why would they talk down the drug they created.

Speaker 13 (35:50):
Well.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
One reason could be that, as we mentioned earlier, the
drug is now generic and could be made by anyone.
But perhaps more importantly, Mirk was paid three hundred and
fifty six million dollars in December twenty twenty, this same
month of doctor Corey's testimony to develop a new COVID
nineteen therapeutic.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
It starts with all of the pharmaceutical companies that have
a competing oral antiviral. Do you know how badly these
guys want to have an effective oral antiviral that they
can distribute to the country.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
A lofty goal for sure, but too bad.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
We already got one and they're very upset about this.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
A few months later, in June twenty twenty one, Murk
announced that the Biden administration agreed to pay Merk one
point two billion dollars if they could get a new
COVID therapeutic oral drug approved by regulators. There is big
money in new patented drugs, but not so much in generic,
repurposed ones. The attacks against ivermectin slowly started to trickle in.

(36:50):
In March twenty twenty one, the FDA tweeted out quote,
some people are taking ivermectin, a drug often prescribed for
animals to try to prevent or treat COVID nineteen. FDA
has not approved or authorized ivermectin for this use, and
it can be dangerous for people. End quote. It was
kind of a stunning tweet. The FDA knew full well
that ivermecton received the Nobel Prize for use in humans,

(37:12):
yet they still tried to tie it to veterinary use.
Only doctor Corey shed some light on a wyan agency
like the FDA would try to muddy the waters with iromectin.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
You don't understand those agencies are the pharmaceutical industry. There's
a lot of really good people there, very smart, hardworking,
great scientists, but that's not the voice that comes out
the top.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
As news began to merge that India was using ivermectin
to battle the coronavirus surge in May twenty twenty one,
the attacks against ivermecten escalated. The chief scientists of the WHO,
an Indian pediatrician named Sumya Swamanathan, tweeted out quote WHO
recommends against the use of ivermecton for COVID nineteen except

(37:59):
within clinical trials. End quote. Triggered the Indian Bar Association
to file a legal notice against the WHO and their
chief scientists, accusing them of running a disinformation campaign against
ivermectin and its safety and effectiveness in the treatment of
COVID nineteen. The chief scientists would later delete her tweet. Slowly,

(38:21):
the media and big tech began to join in, just
like China does. Around the anniversary of Tienneman Square, big
tech began censoring discussions of ivermectin, YouTube ban doctor Corey's
congressional testimony about the drug. The mainstream media would admit
it when reporting Uttar Pradesh's success in fighting their COVID surge,
and behind the scenes, the attacks were getting ready to

(38:43):
escalate even further, and that's possibly because the opposition to
ivermectin were tracking its prescription sales. The National Prescription Audit
is a trade publication that tracks the sales of prescription drugs.
They released data showing that over the twenty twenty twenty
twenty one winter, as COVID cases increased, prescriptions of ivermectin
increased as well. But then as the cases decreased, so

(39:06):
did prescriptions of the repurposed drug. Again, Doctor Corey.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
And then in the spring, durm belull it actually was
slowly increasing even though cases were going down.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Meaning even as COVID cases were decreasing, prescriptions of ivermectin
were slowly increasing.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
And we knew that was is that people started to
use it as a preventive agent, because it's very effective
if you take it regularly, very few people get sick,
and so people were starting to use it preventively.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
But then as the summer COVID surge escalated in July
and August twenty twenty one, the data showed the prescriptions
for ivermectin skyrocketed. In a likely move to counter its
growing use, the FDA tweeted out, quote, you are not
a horse, You are not a cow. Serious, y'all stop
it end quote, another startling tweet from an agency that

(39:53):
knew that ivermecton was a monumental drug for humans as well.
But attacks went nuclear when popular podcaster Joe Rogan announced
he had COVID and recovered quickly after using ivermectin amongst
other therapeutics.

Speaker 14 (40:06):
So I got up in the morning, got tested, and
turns out I got COVID. So we immediately threw the
kitchen sink out all kinds of meds, monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin,
Z pack, prednozone, and I also got Anna d drip
and a vitamin drip and I did that three days

(40:27):
in a row. And so here we are on Wednesday,
and I feel great. I really only had one bad day.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Joe Rogan's video triggered a massive anti ivermectin campaign, a
campaign that suggested the drug was purely used to deworm horses.

Speaker 12 (40:42):
Rogan said he has taken several therapeutics to recover.

Speaker 7 (40:45):
One of those drugs.

Speaker 12 (40:46):
He mentioned ivermectin is something more often used to deworm.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Horses, including the controversial horse d wormer that has poisoned
hundreds of people nationwide. They planted a couple of stories
about animal product overdoses in little papers and then that
started to carry.

Speaker 15 (41:02):
Tonight, where hearing from a rule doctor treating Oklahoma patients
who were overdosing on the drug meant for livestock, doctor
Jason mcglay saying patients are packing southeastern Oklahoma emergency rooms
taking ivermecton doses meant for a full sized horse, believing
false claims it could fight COVID nineteen.

Speaker 14 (41:21):
The ears are so backed up that gunshot victims were
having hard times getting two facilities where they could get
definitive care be treated.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
The story was like chum for the media sharks, The Hill,
Rolling Stone, The New York Daily News, The Daily Mail,
The Guardian, and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow all ran with the story.
The problem was the story was bogus. Two Oklahoma hospitals
issued statements denying they'd been overrun by ibermecton users, and
the Oklahoma Center for Poison and Drug Information denied receiving

(41:51):
any serious calls about ivermecton overdoses and adding that if
medical facilities had actually been backed up with overdoses, they
would have heard about it, but they hadn't.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
You know this thing about ivermectin, what I call pharmageddon
that they unleashed on ivermectin in the last three weeks.
It's literally at war against one of the world's safest drugs.
And I just have to tell you, Patrick, I am
one of the world experts. It is literally the penicillin
of covid.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
To be clear, the FDA has not approved ivermectin for
use in treating COVID nineteen, but the National Institute of
Health or NIH, has now on its website. A July
August twenty twenty one study published in the American Journal
of Therapeutics that concludes quote moderate certainty evidence finds that
large reductions in COVID nineteen deaths are possible using ivermectin.

(42:42):
Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers
progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost
suggests that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact
on the SARS cove two pandemic globally end quote red
pilled America actually spoke to someone that used ivermectin. Tyler
Boyer is the seal of student organizing Powerhouse Turning Point USA.

(43:06):
In early September twenty twenty one, his wife caught COVID.

Speaker 13 (43:10):
She got it first, and a few days later I
was I was pretty severe, a pretty severe case of COVID.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
He wasn't having breathing issues, but he was getting a
gnarly fever spike.

Speaker 13 (43:19):
And the weird part was is that I didn't really
feel like I had a fever. And then I took
my temperature and one of the first days I had
a I think it was a one oh five point three,
which is obviously on the verge of absolutely needing to
go to the hospital and you know, your organ starting
to shut down in cause of major issues. So I
immediately got on the regiment of fever reducers, going back

(43:40):
and forth between admirl and Tyland for every three hours,
you know, for the two pills, and that brought me
down to about a one oh two. But I was
a one oh two to one oh three for about
I think I ended up being about twelve days.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
But his fever wouldn't break.

Speaker 13 (43:55):
So I was like kind of freaking out right because
I was like, is this ever going to go away?

Speaker 8 (43:59):
Now?

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Tyler works with the founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk,
and they'd already discussed ivermectin on Charlie Kirk's podcast.

Speaker 13 (44:06):
I wasn't trying to avoid digging ivermectin. I just feel
like I'm pretty physically fit and I'm pretty young, and
so you know, I was like, oh, you know what,
this thing will break and it didn't.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Tyler watched as his wife recovered in about two and
a half days.

Speaker 13 (44:18):
And she's immune suppressed, right somehow, I was impacted for
whatever reason. More, I got to that point and I
was like, you know what, we have access to ivermectin.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
I'm gonna get it.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
So he made some calls.

Speaker 13 (44:30):
Yeah, I called a bunch of close friends that were doctors.
Some of these guys, these doctors, you know, support billionaires,
you know, and things like that, and so, you know,
I kind of trust these guys because I don't know
if you noticed this, but not a lot of billionaires
have died from COVID.

Speaker 4 (44:45):
And by the way, you.

Speaker 13 (44:46):
Know, there's a lot of like, you know, really rich
guys in this world that like they're taking ivermact and
they're doing it like.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
You know, Joe Rogan. Do you know how much money
Joe Rogan has.

Speaker 13 (44:54):
He's gonna be He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Do you think that he has the best doctors?

Speaker 4 (44:58):
He probably does.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
So Tyler's doctors started him on a treatment.

Speaker 13 (45:02):
So I talked to these doctors and the doctor said,
you know, why don't you try ivermectin in a Z pack,
And so I took a regiment of iromectin. I started
a Z pack and almost overnight it was it was
kind of just my fever broken I was fine.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
What Tyler took from this experience was that the centralized
planning we're seeing in medicine, the same structures communists use,
has a major flaw.

Speaker 13 (45:32):
This is what's really scary is when you start thinking
about all of the agencies, including the national science boards
and foundations that exist. Is that there's an element here
where national sciences and national doctors don't want to be embarrassed, right,
and so you have to accept that. You have to
accept the fact that there's very few people making decisions

(45:55):
at the top.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Level, just like communism. Tyler actually lived a year and
a half in Russia and eventually studied communism in college.

Speaker 13 (46:03):
One thing that you learn coming out of looking at
the Soviet experiment is that ultimately, at the end of
the day, the people who are making decisions, there's very
few of the right, and the very few have a
massive amount of impact on millions and millions of people.
And so when one guy makes a decision, if you
think that that person isn't willing to do at whatever

(46:23):
it takes to support their decision, you're crazy.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Which leads us back to the question, what is COVID
taught us about communism? COVID has taught us that communism sucks.
COVID has been the trojan horse to introduce a communist
model in America. It started with authoritarian shutdowns, then doctors
spelled it on the front lines. In some cases, this

(46:53):
new top down model removed their ability to do what
doctors have been doing since the beginning of modern medicine,
which is to care for their patients in the way
that they see fit. This communist model spread to managing
our behavior. Then, like China does for tannem and Square,
big Tech wiped unauthorized speech off their platforms because communism
and free speech don't mix. What COVID has taught us

(47:14):
is that communism and the American way of life cannot coexist.
Central planning kills You've.

Speaker 13 (47:20):
Got to trust somebody that's local, all that you know,
that you've known forever, that you know, it's not gonna
screw you. You and I don't know any of these people,
and we're going to put our lives in their hands.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
It's anti American in my favor.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
The entire ordeal has affected doctor Corey deeply.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
I'm a changed man.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
The things that I've learned that I've seen the distortion
of science, these phenomenal powers of financial interest to dictate
the running of this pandemic has just been frightening.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
But even with this new communist style censorship, doctor Corey
and his colleagues have continued to push their message of
hope out to the public.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
The final message I want to say is this is
an immensely treatable disease.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
It is a severe viral syndrome.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
When treated early, almost everyone recovers, And so that is
the big message.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
Always consult your doctor before taking any medication. To learn
