Miraculous Recovery of Hypoxemic COVID-19 Patients with Ivermectin
Unhooking Spike Hemagglutinated Red Blood Cells
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
The past three years have generated millions of case vignettes of patients with COVID-19 respiratory illness. The most dramatic cases include critically ill inpatients with severe hypoxemia despite maximum respiratory support. By far, the most notable cases of survival have occurred with the administration of ivermectin. Former NIH researcher David Scheim, PhD, early in the pandemic proposed that SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein was acting like a grappling hook pulling together circulating red blood cells into long chains and clumps in a process called hemagglutination. This explained why the red blood cells could not carry oxygen normally and was congruent with the finding of micro blood clots in the lungs. Recently, Boschi et al have provided additional support for this mechanism.[i] In a spectacular publication, Stone et al, describes the prompt improvement of oxygenation in patients with ivermectin.[ii](See link for article)
All but three of these 34 patients had significantly increased SpO2 values within 24 h after the first IVM dose.
All patients in both of these critical series recovered.
These rapid increases in SpO2 values after IVM treatment stand in sharp contrast to declines in SpO2 and associated pulmonary function through the second week following the onset of moderate or severe COVID-19 symptoms under standard care.

Hypoxemic simply means abnormally low blood oxygen level. Some COVID patients have struggled with breathlessness, which has been treated in hospitals by using ventilators that have failed to work. A front-line NY doctor pointed this out in early 2020 but nobody cares. Our corrupt government through the CARES ACT actually paid hospitals to use ineffective treatments which have caused a staggering death toll. A National Library of Medicine January 2021 report of 69 studies involving more than 57,000 patients concluded that fatality rates were 45% in COVID-19 patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, increasing to 84% in older patients.
Attorney Renz announced at a Truth for Health Foundation Press Conference that CMS data showed that in Texas hospitals, 84.9% percent of all patients died after more than 96 hours on a ventilator.
And this isn’t even counting the death toll from toxic remdesivir, the horrific neglect of patients due to malnourishment, and dehydration, and with the government’s “get sicker” policy.
Africa uses ivermectin regularly for parasites, and in 2021 I posted how African countries with community directed ivermectin treatment programs had much lower COVID morbidity and mortality and were the strongest predictor of improved survival and recovery rates of COVID. Yet, mainstream medicine and media simply couldn’t or wouldn’t understand this.
For a deep dive into the timeline in the War on Ivermectin:
A Timeline of Major Battles In the Global War on Ivermectin – Part 1
My chronology of the Disinformation tactics deployed to paint ivermectin as an ineffective horse dewormer against Covid. Largely taken from the ever-evolving keynote lecture I give at conferences
Pierre Kory, MD, MPA
In this three-parter, I am going to present, in approximate chronological order, the most important events regarding both the emergence of evidence of the massive efficacy of ivermectin and the countering, neutering, and destroying tactics deployed by the Disinformationists paid for by Big Pharma and/or The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF). Although many of these events will not be news to my long-time subscribers, there is some new stuff, and it reads (hits) different when presented chronologically and in somewhat rapid-fire format. Let’s go.
Lets start with some foreshadowing by taking a look as to where this is all heading. As of today, December 5, 2022, the evidence base for ivermectin in Covid is below, thanks to the tireless work of the c19early.com group.
93 controlled trials. 73 of them are peer-reviewed trials. 43 of them randomized controlled trials. Aside from the evidence base for hydroxychloroquine in Covid (which is larger), I know of no other medicine in any disease model in history with an evidence base this large, yet still considered “unproven” or “ineffective” by the health systems of advanced health economies around the world.
Similarly, it is unprecedented that, despite an evidence base this large and positive, these same health systems systematically persecute and punish physicians who use the medicine despite an unparalleled safety profile. How did we get to this dystopian nightmare? Slowly and deliberately, using relentless propaganda and censorship of the truth. Take a walk with me down memory lane of the Disinformation war on ivermectin. (See link for article, relevant research, & powerful video)
The Timeline of Major Battles In the Global War on Ivermectin – Part 2
In the wake of the FLCCC press conference, Senate Testimony and review paper retraction, suddenly Merck fires the first public salvo in the Disinformation war by posting brazen lies on their website.
Pierre Kory, MD, MPA
Following from all the events in December 2020 and January 2021, we continue:
FEBRUARY 4, 2021 – MERCK’S PR DEPARTMENT POSTS BRAZEN LIES ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE
The anti-ivermectin PR campaign was kicked off by Merck’s PR department when they quietly posted three brazen lies on the night of February 3rd. I already covered this action in a recent post. This ignited a media amplification of Merck’s statement, most notably by.. Reuters, posted within 6 hours of Merck’s.
The media literally started blaring unfiltered and un-fact checked Pharma lies. My confusion as to what was wrong in the world further deepened.
DISSIDENT RESPONSE
We didn’t know what to do besides attacking this action on Twitter and in interviews and podcasts (which were all on the periphery/small audiences of the independant media of the internet or on right wing-leaning outlets). Not one critical take of Merck by major media as they all assumed Merck was just trying to be helpful in their guidance. I first begin to use the phrase clown world.
The Timeline of Major Battles In the Global War on Ivermectin – Part 3
The final phases of the Disinformation war on ivermectin kicks into high gear with the launch of the “Horse Dewormer” public relations campaign followed by the publication of Pharma corrupted trials.
AUGUST 2021 – THE LAUNCH OF THE “HORSE DE-WORMER” PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN AGAINST IVERMECTIN BY THE FEDERAL HEALTH AGENCIES
This was, after the manipulation of the Pharma funded trials, the biggest offensive in the war. I maintain that Weber Shandwick, the PR firm working simultaneously for Moderna, Pfizer and the CDC had constructed it well before, and were just waiting for the best time to launch it.
This is what prompted them to launch the campaign:
As you can see from the graph above.. ivermectin prescriptions in the U.S were rapidly increasing to a level never before seen in history. August 13, 2021 was the middle of the Delta wave.. and Delta was wicked. Much harder to treat than prior variants. Late Delta was insanely difficult to treat (October-December 2021), so much so that ivermectin alone was no longer enough, and during that time period of late Delta, I was routinely using between 3-6 different medicines to keep patients out of the hospital. But none died and nearly all avoided hospital (the one exception was a cousin who contacted me on Day 10 of her illness, already breathless, I treated her for a day and a half before she had to be admitted, however she was only in for 4 days and never ventilated).
It was carried by every major news organization around the world, like our friends at the Associated Press. No-one notices the unprecedented nature of such an action (it has been FDA approved for years) nor that they have no authority to do this. At the risk of repeating myself, just take a moment and ponder the fact that you have three major U.S medical societies calling for an immediate end to the use of a medicine supported by a meta-analysis of 60 controlled trials showing it leads to major mortality (and other) benefits. Now you know why I call our country the United States of Pharma.
Also:
September 1, 2021 – What happened next is that the horse dewormer meme explodes throughout mass media – every late night talk show host does a bit, every broadcaster and journalist. They pull a fierce “2 by 4” PR campaign (remember a “2 by 4” defines a propaganda campaign as any story or message that appears for 2 weeks on 4 different channels or major media sources. Rachel Maddow actually “led the way” on August 21, the same day as the FDA tweet that kicked off the entire campaign. Nice coordination there Weber Shandwick. CNN then followed up on August 23, blaming “right-wing” media for “pushing” a “deworming drug.” These narratives start to build as you can see:

The entire sordid account is here for historical review and record. Dr. Kory deserves serious street cred for this poignant, humble, beyond belief account he continues to live through.
He states:
I went to bed on February 6th, 2022 as a physician (albeit clinging on to his license). On Feb. 7, 2022, I woke up to discover the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had come to the conclusion that my deeply studied scientific opinions made me a domestic terrorist.
He ends by stating he’s probably done writing about ivermectin on his Substack as he needs to move on, but that he never wants us to forget that it all started with his first patient who had a “profound and robust clinical response within 12 hours of her first dose after being ill and feverish for the prior two weeks.” He states that result kept on happening until the variants changed which required higher doses and synergistic therapies.Actually, this too has similarly been experienced in Lymeland.
Speaking of similarities, Kory points out that the atrocities that happened to Dr. Burzynski, who successfully treated patients with cancer, have happened to him. In Burzynski’s case, concerted actions by health system entities began 30 years ago and predicted exactly what has happened to Kory and other doctors now considered “dissidents.”
Kory states we are predictably looking at a nasty RSV/FLU season due to “the lunatic mass vaccination campaign against a coronavirus.” He is also busy treating the “vaccine” injured and those with long haul syndromes. Ironically, ivermectin is one of his primary therapies to treat these syndromes which has transformed the lives of many, but similarly to Lyme/MSIDS the fly in the ointment is “insufficient evidence” for this claim, despite what he sees playing out with his own eyes.
The fraudulent trials “debunking” ivermectin continue….
For more excellent reading on the chronology of the take-down of ivermectin:
The Alongshan virus was discovered in China only five years ago. Now researchers have found the novel virus for the first time in Swiss ticks. It appears to be at least as widespread as the tickborne encephalitis virus and causes similar symptoms. The team is working on a diagnostic test to assess the epidemiological situation.

There is no test for this virus.
This too is a problem. We don’t have accurate tests for the pathogens infecting people. Sick people continue to go to doctors for help, are given inaccurate, faulty tests, are told they are “fine,” or are gaslit, and are sent packing.
Climate-change researchers overlook and do not take into accountestablished populations of I. scapularis found in the late 1960’s in the upper Midwest, as well as at Manitoba in 1991, in their climate change model maps. Even game hunters remember ticks on the heads and necks of deer in the 1950’s and 1960’s in northwestern Ontario and southern Manitoba. The faulty climate change maps are devoid of any ticks in those areas – yet experience shows otherwise. This has been the experience of patients across the globe as well. Source
‘All These Vaccines Need to Be Withdrawn From the Market’: COVID Roundtable Part 2
During a roundtable discussion on COVID-19, led by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Wednesday, Dr. Peter McCullough concluded that in order to prevent future harm, all COVID-19 vaccines need to be immediately withdrawn from the market.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Wednesday led a roundtable discussion — “COVID-19 Vaccines: What They Are, How They Work and Possible Causes of Injuries” — to shed light on the current state of knowledge surrounding the vaccine and the path forward.
Distinguished doctors and scientists who specialize in COVID-19 vaccine research and treatment participated in the three-hour event. (See link for the roundtable and a summary of the discussion)

Excellent read. The author points out that natural viruses don’t want to hurt you, because they want to spread from host to host. Causing permanent harm, infecting your heart, or causing blood clots and infertility is not in a virus’s best interest. COVID has all the ear-markings of being a bioweapon, created to maim and kill people – which it’s successfully doing.
The toxic spike protein, the part of the virus different from all other coronaviruses, is the part that was likely engineered.
Officials such as Fauci, Walensky, Bourla, Bancel, Califf, Marks, and Baily were all invited to the roundtable, but declined to appear or even send a representative. They simply avoid debating important issues with credible scientists. They appear to be above the law.
A segment of the hearings included testimonies of the “vaccine” injured where many are now unable to work or do normal household chores. 90% of “vax” injured patients report being gaslighted when they go to their family doctors for help. Similarly to Lyme/MSIDS patients, they are diagnosed as psychosomatic.
There are currently 200 trials listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for mRNA-based“vaccines”, despite proof they are unsafe. The medical establishment is completely committed to their faulty paradigm due to the resulting pipeline of profitable future products that NIAID gets royalties on. It’s a sweet deal for everyone all around, except those who are maimed or killed.
Haze. Slow. Drunk. Lost. These are the words some people use to describe “brain fog.”
The condition, a form of cognitive dysfunction, has been plaguing people with certain chronic illnesses for years. But now, a new wave of people with long covid are experiencing it, casting a spotlight on the often debilitating condition.
“It’s a moment where the public and the medical community are realizing that this is real. This is what happens after certain infections,” said Akiko Iwasaki, a professor of immunobiology at Yale University and a co-author of a review article on covid-19-related cognitive impairment.
Long before COVID even existed, Lyme/MSIDS patients have suffered for decades with brain fog.
Per usual, dealing with the underlying infections will either improve or ameliorate this condition all together. Detoxing also helps as well as balancing hormones, supplementing for deficiencies, dealing with mold, MCAS, and/or any other issue that is negatively affecting the immune system. Diet is key and certain foods alone can cause brain fog.
It absolutely makes sense that the spike protein would cause the fibrous clots in both veins and arteries. There are a host of ACE2-expressing cells free-floating in our blood; endothelial cells slough off, for example, and some immune cells express ACE2.If O is a cell
and = is a spike protein
O=O would be a syncytium.A chain of syncytia
O=O=O=O=O
Since the spike protein causes syncytia (cells stuck together) that chains of cells could form, with fibrinogen activation, around which RBC would get caught. This would be a slow process, could happen anywhere in the body.
The reports of from Germany from pathologists studying cadavers point to these types of clots. Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake have an article on the science of pathologic syncytia that I am cross-posting.
Unintended Consequences Potentially Explain Vaccine Failure from the Outset
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
One of the curious findings from the original randomized trials of mRNA vaccines was an explosive rate of early infection after the first injection as compared with placebo. In a recent paper from Sfera et al, the description of pathological syncytia or fusion between immune cells is described: “The LNP technology, to put it simply, mimics viral envelopes with externalized phosphatidylserine (ePS), a universal “eat me” signal, that directs immune cells to engulf the particle. (See this link for article)
An unfortunate example of this is the recent death of a baby who died of blood clots after the hospital gave him a blood transfusion using “vaccinated” blood against the parents’ wishes. The hospital managed to “lose” the specially donated unvaccinated blood by a family friend.
On my last flight I was searching for a seat and a kind woman who appeared to recognize me, smiled at an open seat next to her. I sat down and learned she is married to a prominent government official with whom she was traveling. As we talked she told me her story of taking one of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and then developing membranous nephropathy.
This is a disorder caused by auto-antibodies directed against the phospholipase A2 receptor on podocytes, which are critical cells in the kidney’s filtration apparatus. Membranous nephropathy like so many side effects is due to the Spike protein and can occur with SARS-CoV-2 infection and with vaccination.
Ma and coworkers recently described five cases with the infection and 37 more after COVID-19 vaccination—all with the genetic vaccines except for one with a killed virus vaccine. (See link for article and research study)

Important excerpt:
The woman developed significant edema and renal failure requiring escalating treatment including rituximab. More than a year later, she is not out of the woods and may face the need for dialysis in the future. She told me her doctor was honest with her and agreed her condition was caused by the vaccine.
Unfortunately for these patients, prognosis remains uncertain, but will continue to be downplayed and denied by corrupt public health ‘authorities,’ and therefore mainstream medicine and media who continue to claim COVID ‘vaccines’ are “safe and effective,” despite being neither.
CDC Data: Vaccinated Now Make Up Majority of COVID-19 Deaths
DAN SKORBACH
Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that people who are vaccinated and boosted are now more likely to die from COVID-19 than the unvaccinated.
One year ago, about a third of vaccinated people were dying from COVID. But at the beginning of 2022, that number rose to 42 percent. By summer, it went over 60 percent for the adult population. (See link for article and video)
