There was a fascinating guest recently on FOX’s “Life, Liberty and Levin”.
Dr. Harvey Risch is a professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. A list of his accomplishments and research papers is longer than my arm. You can view his many credits here.
Host Mark Levin said hydroxychloroquine had saved many thousands of lives over the years. Yet doctors, pharmacists and hospitals have been scared to prescribe it.
“Have you ever seen anything like this?” Levin asked.
“Never. Never. No. That somehow we’ve let politics overrule science, and it’s an absurd situation that people have compared this to 1984 and the Ministry of Truth and so on that’s limiting what people can say on objective facts. It’s beyond belief,” Risch replied.
Levin also asked Dr. Risch about the treatment he’s received on other networks and programs.
“They’re shouting you down. They’re interrupting you. They won’t even let you make your case. That seems a little odd, too, doesn’t it?” Levin said.
Risch drew a momentary breath before answering.
“Well, here’s the thing. I think they know that the treatment works. I think that basically, they’re afraid to even let it be tried, because letting it be tried would show that it works,” Risch said.
“So the message has to be shut at all costs because anything will leak out and in fact, it is leaking out, and you see across the country, people who started to speak up, who’ve become almost deathly ill and have been turned around in three days or sooner even, and these are now public figures who are speaking up, who’ve said that the medicine saved their life. And it’s very difficult to, you know, close all the leaks in that dike that are being suppressed by the media that are trying to do that.”
But Risch reserved his strongest criticism for the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
He suggested Fauci was instrumental years ago in slowing the treatment of AIDS.
Activists had approached “NIH and asked Dr. Fauci just to make guidelines to physicians that they consider using Bactrim to treat preventively AIDS people so that they wouldn’t die of this pneumonia. Dr. Fauci refused.”
“Now, we have Dr. Fauci denying that any evidence exists of benefit, and that’s pervaded the FDA. The FDA has relied on Dr. Fauci and his NIH advisory groups to make a statement saying that there is no benefit of using hydroxychloroquine in outpatients. And this is counter to the facts of the case. The evidence is overwhelming. Doctor Fauci and the FDA are doing the same thing that was done in 1987 and that’s led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans who could have been saved by usage of this drug,” Risch concluded.
Risch encouraged people to take action. “It’s outrageous. People need to be writing or calling their congressmen and senators and complaining that this is not the way the country should work. That a bureaucracy that’s in bed with other forces that are causing them to make decisions that are not based on the science that is killing Americans is not acceptable.”
The accusations and claims from Risch are hard to dismiss out of hand. He’s a renowned doctor and researcher at Yale.
