Dr. Peter McCullough: The Vatican Must Apologize Immediately for the Grave Error in Endorsing the Vaccine

Note: The following is part of an interview with Dr. Peter McCullouh, one of the foremost experts on Covid, conducted by Edward Pentin, a Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Register, on February 15, 2022.

Edward Pentin: Do you think that the Pope, the Vatican and the bishops in general are adequately informed about these vaccines? From what you say, they seem not to be, but do you think they need to be listening to wider sources because at the Vatican they now have some of the strictest mandates in the world: You cannot enter unless you are vaccinated, or you’ve recovered, and you have to wear the N95 masks. What advice would you give to the Vatican about their policy on COVID?

Dr. Peter McCullouh: The Vatican should drop all mandates, drop all restrictions, and drop all advocacy or concern for the vaccines. The Vatican immediately should start a public interest campaign on vaccine injuries and vaccine deaths. They should formally apologize for taking a position on the vaccines that’s been deleterious and they will have to account for potentially hundreds of thousands of lives lost due to the vaccine worldwide because the Vatican has violated what’s called the Nuremberg Code — the Vatican has violated a critical code of bioethics and they must immediately recognize this. They must immediately apologize for this grievous error that they’ve committed. The Nuremberg Code states that no one under any conditions must apply any pressure, coercion or threat of reprisal for any medical treatment or procedure done, and particularly when the procedure is new, it’s investigational, it’s experimental, and we don’t know the outcomes.

I’ve just gone over with you that this is genetic material injected in human bodies, and we have no idea how long this is going to last and how great the injuries are going to be. They look catastrophic just at the early view of this. The Vatican must reverse their position. They must listen to people in positions of authority, including myself — immediately. And I’m happy to talk directly to the Pope. This is not a problem of lack of education. The Vatican and all religious leaders have all the information they can possibly have. These systems are open systems. A group from France said in March of 2021, “Shut down the program, it’s not safe.” The paper that I published with [Roxana] Bruno and colleagues, a worldwide paper including Europe, implored all governments to install safety boards and start reviewing the safety data. An evidence-based consulting group in the UK in June of 2021 reported officially to the MHRA and said, “shut down the program.” We’ve had petitions calling for the program to be shut down. This is not a matter of lack of education. This is a problem of complicity. This will go down in history as the Vatican is complicit in the mass loss of life of people by injections.

Edward Pentin: The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life has also advocated vaccines for children. What’s your view on that?

Dr. Peter McCullouh: The younger we go in age group, the risk of COVID-19, the viral illness, progressively goes down. In fact, most children don’t even get it because they’ve already had it and it’s milder than the next common cold that they have. That means the relative harm of the vaccines is even greater. So it is abhorrent. It violates every bit of sacred, religious belief that we have in terms of protecting our family and protecting our children, that the Vatican is abrogating one of its principle, Old Testament beliefs which is to protect the children. This is not protecting children. This is overtly harming children. And the Vatican must immediately reverse its course.

Edward Pentin: The Pope has called vaccination “an act of love” and a “moral obligation” — would you be willing to offer your advice to the Vatican?

Dr. Peter McCullouh: I would be more than happy. As you mentioned, I have 54 peer-reviewed publications on COVID-19. I have over 660 peer-reviewed publications in the National Library of Medicine. I’ve chaired or participated in 2000 days of safety monitoring boards. I’ve had COVID-19 myself twice. I’ve had a family member lose their life to COVID-19. I am an expert commentator on national TV every week for the last two years. I consider myself the most qualified person to opine on COVID-19 and the vaccines than anybody in the world and that can be messaged directly to the Pope. If he wants to talk to the top authority in the world, I am open to a conversation, but it won’t be comfortable for him. So he needs to be warned about this. This is important. One life lost is too many. This idea that it’s a gift, that the Pope is giving a gift of loss of life, is absolutely unacceptable, and it must be met with the strongest of all resistance.

We are at a very, very important point in human history. You can tell by the gravity of these findings and these revelations, this is not a debatable thing. People are losing their lives due to this vaccine.

And I can tell you this much: even if the vaccine really worked, which it doesn’t, but even if it really worked, people still could take their choice: That they could die with a vaccine or die with a respiratory illness, and it would be a choice. It would be a very difficult choice, but they could take a choice. But the fact that the vaccines don’t work and they simply offer an opportunity, a stochastic opportunity to die within a few days from taking the injection, they are wholly unacceptable.

There’s an analysis of mortality, and I’m glad we’re still on mortality because I think that’s the most primal thing that we can consider, published by Ron Kostoff, and the title of the paper is “Why Are We Vaccinating Children.” This is in the peer-reviewed literature. This has been presented twice by the way at the USFDA meetings in September, and October by external presenters. The cost of analysis says someone at age 65 is more likely to die with the vaccine than taking their chances with COVID-19 and dying of COVID-19 respiratory illness. There’s a fivefold greater chance of dying with the vaccine. This is because if you take your chances with COVID-19, you may or may not get the illness. You could be fastidious and not get much contact and get low exposure, and that doesn’t even factor in early treatment which according to my estimates means 90-95% reductions in hospitalization and death. So you can imagine that it’s a much better choice to just take your chances with the respiratory illness than take your chances with the vaccine. And people say, “well, it’s rare.” Well, I have to tell you when we’re up to 21,000 Americans, this is actually worse than a war. We never said war casualties were “rare.” We took note of every war casualty. Every single vaccine death should be taken seriously. We can’t just write off human life with a casual stroke of a pen. It’s unacceptable, it’s immoral, it’s illegal.

Edward Pentin: What is your view on the mandates? Given what you say about the vaccines, would you consider them grossly unjust?

Dr. Peter McCullouh: There are other mandates. In our US university system, we have requirements for the students to [get] the meningococcal vaccine for meningitis. This is a standard. There’s a waiver system. You can opt out of it, but most people don’t, and 20 million kids a year take them meningococcal vaccine. You don’t see any protests over that. Why? Because it’s an antigen-based vaccine that doesn’t go everywhere in the body. It has a safe mechanism of action. It has a safety track record that’s pristine. Nobody dies of the meningococcal vaccine. It effectively eliminates the chances of getting meningococcal meningitis. So we don’t have outbreaks in colleges anymore. So I’m telling you, a perfectly safe and effective vaccine people would accept. And if the COVID-19 vaccines were perfectly safe and effective, number one, COVID-19 would be gone by now, it wouldn’t be around, and two, people would widely accept it. There wouldn’t be any debate. If the vaccines were safe and effective, nobody would be wearing N95 masks in the Vatican. Things ought to be self-apparent at this point.

Edward Pentin: What has been the personal cost to you of involving yourself in this cause?

Dr. Peter McCullouh: I had no interest in becoming a public figure on this. My entire career and personal finances have been absolutely destroyed through this but I cannot stand by and watch this happen without speaking out. I do not see how any Christian can. It boils down to this idea of complicity. The Bible is loaded with phrases like this. If you stand by and you’re quiet and you watch it happen, you are participating in the crime. It’s clear.

Edward Pentin: The Church therefore has a duty to speak up.

Dr. Peter McCullouh: Yes, there’s no doubt about it.

Note: Here is a link to the entire interview. The bigger news is that the Vatican will not only be held accountable for the countless lives that were lost; they will also be held accountable for the loss of many of those souls, which is even more serious. And the same blood will be on the hands of every other church and religious institution that has followed Rome’s lead on vaccine mandates.
