there were two fraudulent papers , one in the new england journal of medicine, one in lancet, published by individuals interested in doing evil to the world with respect to a beneficial treatment of hydroxychloroquine. in an unprecedented manner, these two manuscripts were withdrawn after two weeks where they could scare the public and the world's physician audience. since that time there have been dozens of -- >> i'm sorry, they were then withdrawn? dr. mccullough: they were withdrawn. it acknowledged that they were fraudulent papers. they were to scare people on hydroxychloroquine. since that time there's been dozens of pylon -- pile on scare tactics. this is people in my field, academic medicine, who are committing academic fraud. i am a cardiologist. i reviewed a paper that made it into the literature demonstrating that hydroxychloroquine causes a heart attack. that hydroxychloroquine causes a giant scar on the heart. and i can tell you, we have the world's most recognized cardiology program in the world. our senior examiner has held in his hands more human hearts than anybody in th

fraudulent -- >> reemphasize that, they were then withdrawn. >> they were withdrawn and the new england journal of medicine and lancet acknowledged they were fraudulent papers, scare papers to scare people on hydroxychloroquine. since that time there's been dozens of pile-on scare tactics in the government, this is people in my field of academic medicine, committing academic fraud. i reviewed a paper that made it into medical literature demonstrating that hydroxychloroquine causes a heart attack, causes a giant scar in the heart. i can tell you i'm at baylor in dallas, we have the world's most recognized cardio logic program -- our senior has held more hearts in his hands. i can tell you firsthand hydroxychloroquine does not cause giant scars in the heart. so academic medicine is committing fraud. it's committing a -- i think a crime against humanity, there must be a motivation behind this that's much bigger than just democrat versus republican. i am extremely concerned, honestly, about the academic contribution to scare tactics in the world, now it's working everywhere. in india it's given firstline, such

a large randomized controlled trial published in the new england journal of medicine founno benefit of hydroxychloroquine given to outpatient with exposing to the sars covid two but recovery trials found higher rates of death among hospitalized patien for hydroxychloroquine but this included people who mptoms have begun within the past seven days that ely phase of the disease that the doctor mentioned and other inpatient tria have found results. there are outpatient high-quality randomized double-blind files and they have also fled to find. doctor risch talked about observational studies we should talk about that. can they be hpful? the answer is they can. we don't generly use tm for treatments because we want high-quality data but it is possible to have high-quality observational studies. observational studies ruire controlled groups that are comparable and use sophisticated statistical techniques and look for things like natural experiments toelp us understand when sometng is likely to be useful. i'm not aware of any observational sty of hydroxychloroquine that is a paicularly high q

was very promising it actually confirms the data on the 1st that was published in the new england journal of medicine that is one trial how long the antibody response to the vaccine will last this is an unanswered question because this vaccine is on trial for it just a couple of months and has to prove it is effect on a long term basis but nevertheless i think looking at the exploding numbers that we see in north america and here in europe this is a very important tool to help us break down on this pandemic situation though one word of warning once the vaccine is approved either by the f.d.a. or email we have to be they have to come up with a vaccine strategy because we cannot back seat everybody in europe in north america or in the world because there won't be so many doses available we have to understand that this is a global responsibility we cannot see america 1st or europe 1st this is have to be globally discussed how would this vaccine has to be distributed because we have a global responsibility in the global health arena. despite the optimism around a coronavirus vaccine u.s. president elect

looks very promising but actually confirms the data on the 1st it was published in the new england journal of medicine the phase one trial so when we say that this vaccine is effective do we know how long the efficacy is going to be. this is a very good question and that is the big 1000000 dollar question how long the antibody response to the vaccine will last this is an unanswered question because this vaccine is on trial for at just a couple of months and has to prove it is a fact on a long term basis but nevertheless i think looking at the exploding numbers that we see in north america and here in europe this is a very important tool to help us break down on this pandemic situation the one word of warning once the vaccine is approved either by the f.d.a. or email we have to be have to come up with a vaccine strategy because we cannot that's the everybody in europe in north america or in the world because there won't be so many doses available for the people you know we understand that pfizer and biotech are saying that they hope to produce 50000000 doses by the end of each year 1400000000 doses nex

we see in the new england journal of medicine, things like does the vaccine spark immune response? yes. what were the side effects? we saw in the small numbers this came out in peer review. it was favorable. everything i saw was encouraging. they're going to share as much data as they can with the fda and regulatory agencies. i think that at point we'll get a better look. do we expect to see a published full paper in a major journal before the fda makes a determination on emergency use? i don't think so. but that said, i think as much data as out there should be made public so experts in every area whether it's distribution or efficacy or trial design can chime in. at the end of the day, this fda has been undermined by its own sort of waxing and waning credibility, i think the review is important to say we can look the patients in the eye and say i took this vaccine, you can do. we have to get there, so the more data the better. >> thank you. good to see you. >>> all right. exit ramp. president trump makes his first outright commitment to leave office but says he'll keep fighting a

kass, i was speaking the "the new england journal of medicine" and they mentioned they worry about the fda and cdc have been politicized throughout the coronavirus pandemic. this is after them basically saying drum should not be elected the next president, not re-elected the next president of the united states. do you worry that they can't necessarily come back from this? or do you think they can, their reputation can rebound? >> i definitely their reputation can be rebounded. i think many people knew it was coming from the top down, and without that level of finger on the scale of the policies coming out of the cdc or the approvals coming out of the fda that things will go back to normal, which means the scientists will be in control, helping to figure out which vaccines are safe, which medications are safe. the cdc will start communicating the appropriate level of science. i'm very encouraged once we get out of this situation where we have federal leadership really getting in the way of appropriate science and public health, that trust will be restored very, very quickly. >> jim, let

modern swa has not pointed to t in their trial but "the new england journal of medicine" says it willin the elderly. so we have two vaccines coming with a clean safety profile that prevents serious illnesses and that work in the elderly. so we can target these very early to those most vulnerable, the elderly, and those with co-morbidities. that's extraordinarily positive. what's not positive is we have to understand where we are right now, and that gets back to the white house memo. we'll have 50 million doses of pfizer in an undisclosed amount, many millions of doses from moderna this year. but right now we're in the steepest number of rise of cases, hospitalizations are going up 25% week over week. our deaths are going up 25% week over week. and this is not going in the right direction. we are at an absolutely critical, dangerous point. and i want to urge everyone that the only way that we get out of this until we have a vaccine is to absolutely wear a mask when you're in public. we know that local or state mask mandates tend to work and many places have instituted that. in most pla
