Dr. Peter McCullough: RFK Jr. Faces Senate Hearing Circus, As 81,000 Doctors & Experts Publish New Demand For COVID-19 Vaccine Recall – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 450
Sat, 01 Feb 2025
“Are you supportive of these onesies?” demanded Bernie Sanders, the allegedly grown adult Senator of Vermont, during a confirmation hearing of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. “ARE YOU SuPpOrTiVe Of tHiS cLoTHiNg?!?!” the Senator continued, gesturing at a set of baby clothes made by RFK-founded organization Children’s Health Defense, in the strongest argument against RFK that the Senate panel could muster in their over 3-hour hearing. Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and the Chief Scientific Officer at The Wellness Company. As an expert on cardiovascular medicine with over 30 years of experience, Dr. McCullough has spoken widely about the heart-related risks of mRNA.

Chapter 1: What are Dr. Peter McCullough's qualifications?
We're going to have Dr. Peter McCullough in here in mere moments. He really needs no introduction. He's been a leader throughout the COVID disaster in terms of helping us understand the depths of some of the poor judgment and poor interventions, as well as vaccine, vaccine therapies, and what we do with the unfortunate reactions that some people have suffered from the vaccine. He's an internist.
He's a cardiologist. He was an interventional cardiologist. He essentially ran the Department of Medicine at Baylor University, one of the most published physicians in the country. McCullough, C-U-L-L-O-U-G-H-M-D, P underscore McCullough on X, and PeterMcCulloughMD.com. And a little later in the show, Dr. Stephanie Van Watson comes back. She, of course, is the co-founder of Serafina Therapeutics.
She's the veterinarian physician, doctor of veterinary medicine from Tufts, who did the studies on the dolphin that led to the isolation of pentadecanoic acid, C15, and she's got more updates on the benefits. And it's really, it just keeps accumulating, so... We'll get to that and more right after this. I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician.
I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. I'm excited to bring you a new product, a new supplement, Fatty. I take it. I make Susan take it.
My whole family takes it. This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research. The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins, and a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to our Alzheimer's disease. Those dolphins were deficient in a particular fatty acid. She replaced the fatty acid and they didn't get the Alzheimer's.
Humans have the same issue. And we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before. And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes. It's published in a recent journal called Metabolites. It's a new nutritional C15, pentadecanoic acid, it's called.
The deficiency that we are developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome. This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways, and as many as one in three of us. This is an important breakthrough.

In addition to Dr. McCullough's decorated history, he is, of course, a part of the medical board with the wellness company, TWC, where I've had the pleasure to have served. Again, let me give you a little more info on X. It is P underscore McCullough, M-C-C-U-L-L-O-U-G-H-M-D.
The book is The Courage to Face COVID-19. It is an extraordinary thriller through the... unbelievable experience that many of us had during the pandemic. Dr. McCullough's Substack is PeterMcCulloughMD at Substack, and his website is PeterMcCulloughMD.com. Please welcome Dr. McCullough. Thank you for being here, Peter.

Chapter 2: What are the risks associated with COVID-19 vaccines?
That's one of the things we're suggesting. But that they didn't take risk-reward into account at all. And Francis Collins is on the record saying that they did not consider. To me, that is a... Malpractice doesn't begin to sort of incorporate what I think of doctors that don't take risk-reward into analysis. I remember when I was training internists That was sort of my number uno issue.
Like, you know, why are you making these choices? What are the risks and benefits? And what's your backup plan? And never, we just have to do something, ever, ever, ever. That was the worst thing I ever heard from young physicians. I had to do something. It's how you harm people. But they had to do this uber alice.
They had to stop this virus, no matter what destruction they brought, and they brought it. And then now the same thing, question is in my mind as it pertains to the vaccine. Why pushing so hard on these two When there are at least two other alternatives, and certainly Novavax has been around, is it still around? I heard some rumor that it might come off.
No, it's still around. So just quickly on the safety rundown, I think there's enough papers to make these conclusions. The most dangerous was Moderna, the original ones, which had 100 micrograms of messenger RNA. Then next was Pfizer at 30 micrograms of messenger RNA. The Janssen vaccine came in third. Now that presented special risks.
It's nearly identical to the AstraZeneca vaccine used elsewhere. And the risks were more thrombotic blood clots. And then the safest vaccine was always Novavax in the United States. And as you pointed out, Covishield or the inactivated vaccines used elsewhere. Now, Senator Rand Paul broke the news, Dr. Drew, of why Pfizer and Moderna is preferentially promoted by public health agencies.
And it is, by the way. Our DHS- advertises it. Actually, our government does Pfizer's commercials for them on TV. It's because Pfizer Moderna used the same PR firm, Weber Shandwick. And Weber Shandwick has an installed vaccine promotional unit within the CDC center in Atlanta. And Rand Paul found out about this and wrote Rochelle Lewinsky and said, what is this? You can't have
in a sense, a biopharmaceutical promotion unit within a government agency. And that's exactly what's gone on. So our CDC has wrongfully presented just two possibilities and not fairly described the entire formula.
My light just went out. That'll get fixed in a second by my crack wife producer. There she goes. I do want to point out, oh gosh, it triggered my train of thought.
Well, I did it, Dr. Joe. I cast some darkness on your show with that. It turns out that our CDC had a contract with Weber-Shanwick and was paying Weber-Shanwick money in order for them to promote the vaccines internally at the CDC, specifically Pfizer-Moderna.

Chapter 3: How does the virus impact cardiovascular health?
I'm not convinced of that because the boosters are for variants that are long ago.
Also, if you have COVID recently or you have the vaccine, go to drdrew.com slash TWC and get the spike support.
Well, that's what Dr. McCullough. That is Dr. McCullough's formulation. Yeah. And he uses a lot of it.
Protocol.
Yeah, the McCullough Protocol is something he has been using and developing to help people with long vaccine and long COVID. And he has great results. He does a lot of interesting things. It's not all just taking the spike protein. He looks at sort of clotting factors, all kinds of stuff. So just take a look at what he's got out there. And he's a really good source of information. He's a cautious.
He's deliberative and he tries to give evidence-based information and recommendations.
And I do, and every time I get COVID, I take that.
Every time. I haven't had it in a while. I know, we've gotten it a lot. All right, let's get Stephanie in here. It's Stephanie Van Watson. You can, let me get you some of her particular. She is, all I see is my thing is with direct.com slash fatty15. Anything else for Stephanie in place else we should look for you, Stephanie? Your website or just go to fatty?
Yeah, just go to Fatty15 on LinkedIn. LinkedIn. You can find me there, Stephanie Van Watten.

Chapter 4: What happened during DeMar Hamlin's cardiac arrest?
So the same molecule that we need to live, right? We can't live without oxygen is in the end over decades and decades of time ends up being the same molecule that takes us down. Over, you know, with aging. So the whole excitement around the discovery of C15 is that it is a saturated fat, which we typically think of as bad.
But the end of these types of saturated fats called odd chain saturated fatty acids. They have no double bonds and they're, you know, what we're talking about, anti-inflammatory directly. But more importantly, just like you're talking about, Dr. Drew, is with no double bonds, they serve as a sturdy fatty acids that support our cell membrane, protect them from becoming fragile.
And that allows our cells and our cells to To last longer. It's the key to longevity that helps explain how humans and dolphins live longer than mice in the first place. We're just basically protected against this lipid peroxidation complex.
What she just did in that sentence is an entire chapter in the book. So you can go read the details there. But I also want to say that, you know, so the... I mentioned something about oxidized species at the beginning of this conversation, which is essentially oxygens that have become free radicals.
They're trying to get electrons and the ones that come in there attack, not just, correct me if I'm right about this, not just the cell membrane itself, but also the mitochondrial membranes within the cell.
So talk about that a little bit. Yeah, so when our mitochondria aren't working well, which we all are the powerhouses of our cells, They have a Jekyll and Hyde personality. So mitochondria typically are good and they produce energy for our cell. But when they turn bad, they will actually produce reactive oxygen species. These toxic oxygen species that you're talking about, Dr. Drew.
And when that happens, that actually takes down the whole cell. combines lipid peroxidation, and it creates actually an entirely new form of cell death called veroptosis.
So there's like a lot of new science that is coming out that's helping us understand the importance of things like C15 to keep ourselves strong and fight off this syndrome, this nutritional deficiency syndrome, which is causing an entirely new form of cell death that's accelerating our aging.
Well, that's what I wanted to say. And that's people, you know, the feroptosis is, I don't know if it's accelerating aging or part of aging or whatever it is, you can intervene on it. You know, you can slow this thing down. You can prevent it. You can, you know, I happen to, I don't know if you have this data yet, but I happen to be,
