The Courage to Face Covid-19:  Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, by John Leake and Peter A. McCullough MD MPH is tale of the 2 year plus effort, accomplishments and travails of a remarkably prominent and successful physician.  Dr. McCullough  decided to push back on the establishment in the face of a global epidemic of a respiratory virus, COVID 19 (SARS COV 2) , risking everything in today’s cancel culture.  He pushed for sensible early treatment, when the establishment had another agenda—don’t treat or treat with worthless drugs until we get our “vaccine” (it’s not a vaccine at all) out.  The opportunity to make billions from scared populations, nations, politicians and create worldwide chaos and even reorder societies was at stake for them.  As the progressives say, never let a good crisis go to waste if there is an opportunity for a power grab and profits.

I was impressed with the medical advocacy of Dr. Peter McCullough during 2020 as he became a leading voice in a worldwide effort by many medical experts to promote early ambulatory treatments with Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin, with special attention to anti-inflammatory and supplemental adjuvants and blood thinners to reduce the complications of clotting.  He was always on top of the literature and promoted the positions of the early COVID treaters around the world.

Dr. McCullough rejected the nihilist approach protocol of Fauci: just send them home and to come back if they really get sick, then we’ll hospitalize them.  He pointed out the ridiculous Fauci promotion of the nasty and ineffective Gilead drug Remdesivir, and he also rejected the shutdowns, school closures, masking and social distancing and quarantine measures widely promoted.  As he put it so well, physicians need to treat the patients with effective regimens, not just sit around waiting for the magic vaccines.  It is not good medical practice to ignore preventive and early treatment measures that work and reduce mortalities.   

Dr. Peter McCullough is a Dallas, Texas Internist/ Cardiologist/epidemiologist (population health studies), and a former editor of medical journals/ consultant to pharmaceutical companies and research programs. He is an extraordinarily qualified individual, not just a prominent expert, but remarkable and extraordinary as well as courageous in discussing the epidemic of the Wuhan Lab engineered Coronavirus, that killed millions and disrupted the whole world.

John Leake is a professional writer and explains in the preface to the book how he became a coauthor with Dr. McCullough.  He was impressed with his performance in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021 in US Senate Hearings chaired by Senator Ron Johnson and a Texas Senate hearing chaired by Senator Hall and a follow up interview in May of 2021 with Tucker Carlson. 

He met with Dr McCullough for an interview in his Dallas studio for a film/video session and described that interview:

He spoke so eloquently with such encyclopedic knowledge that his interview required no editing.  The astonished video director recommended it uncut for the world to see.

Mr. Leake’s experience describes how I reacted to McCullough’s testimony and interviews: he is a genius with a remarkable grasp of the medical research and science pertinent to the COVID 19 issues.  But that is no surprise considering his remarkable career and stature in the medical profession.  I watched him many times and never did he fail to impress me with his eloquence and erudition. He is one smart man with a knack for being a good educator and analyst, an ideal person to provide good advice and counsel, perfect choice for a Dr. Welby type impression in a hearing.  I reviewed here at American Thinker his Joe Rogan interview that set all viewer/listener records for the popular podcast, a 2:45 hour tour de force.  The man is amazing.

Mr. Leake also made a comment that rings true, “I got to know him not only as a compassionate doctor but also a devoted family man and loyal friend.”  I must say that is the persona I saw on display when I watched Dr. McCullough and met him: his belief and commitment to the role of a physician, to treat the patient and do everything you can to help relieve suffering and promote healing.  Nihilism has no place in professional conduct—as stated by the Hippocratic Oath, traditionally taken by medical graduates:

“I will follow that method of treatment which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.”

In the prologue, the book addresses what appears to be a troublesome rehearsal of a pandemic sponsored by Johns Hopkins and funded by Gates Foundation money and the World Economic Forum in 2019.  One cannot help but be concerned that Gates money founded the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness’ Innovations (CEPI) in 2017 and by 2019 CEPI was already developing “vaccines” for coronaviruses although even the public agencies admit mRNA spike protein stimulators are not vaccines at all.
