McCullough noted that the omicron strain first identified in South Africa is "the most highly mutated form" of SARS-CoV-2.
"It's far and away the most highly mutated of all the various [strains]. The peppering of mutations around the receptor binding domain (RBD) means that the virus has mutated at its point of attachment to the H2 receptors on human cells. This has basically rendered omicron less likely to invade the human body," he said.
"The virus goes into the nose as usual. It sets up an infection, but it doesn't invade the lungs or cause serious consequences unlike the other variants. You can see the other variants had nothing in [their] RBD, which is basically unchanged from the original Wuhan wild-type virus."
According to McCullough, he had a more difficult time with the B16172 delta variant due to its invasiveness and ability to replicate at high viral loads. He pointed out that omicron replicates 70 times faster than delta, allowing it to quickly overrun the previous variant of concern first identified in India.
The cardiologist warned that omicron can now bypass natural immunity, having previously been found in fully vaccinated individuals. He added that those infected with omicron experience a very mild fever.
"It arose in the fully vaccinated, but it clearly affects unvaccinated people and those naturally immune as well. It's kind of an equal opportunity player," he said.
"My patients tell me, by the way, that omicron feels like the same thing a patient feels like when they take a COVID-19 vaccine booster. Isn't that interesting? Some people have already said it's Mother Nature's booster because it feels just like taking a booster vaccine." (Related: Experts say Omicron is a "natural vaccine" – no need for any more boosters.)
Early intervention eschewed in favor of vaccines
Vandersteel aired a clip from McCullough's December 2021 interview with podcast host Joe Rogan. According to the Texas-based cardiologist, he testified in two separate instances that a huge percentage of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. could have been avoided. The use of multi-drug therapy backed by numerous studies would have reduced hospitalizations and deaths by 85 percent, he added.
"It seems to me early on [that] there was an intentional, very comprehensive suppression of early treatment in order to promote fear, suffering, isolation, hospitalization and death. [It also] seems to be completely organized and intentional in order to create acceptance for, and then promote, mass vaccination," McCullough told Rogan.
McCullough alleged that the vaccines themselves instilled the fear of COVID-19 in Americans – which drove them to get injected with the mRNA shots and suffer serious reactions and death. He told Vandersteel: "Sadly, the people dying are our seniors. They may be the most silent and unobserved people in all of society. It's not the young people who died, it's the seniors."
"The vaccines cause an uncontrolled production of the spike protein. That's a protein devised at the lab in Wuhan, China with gain-of-function research technology to become more infectious and more lethal. Some people produce way too much of it, and it's lethal." (Related: Drs. Steven Hotze and Peter McCullough discuss the dangers of spike protein and public health responses – Brighteon.TV.)
McCullough told the Brighteon.TV host that a "scientific reawakening" has occurred. He said the U.S. government and the mainstream media's suppression of the actual COVID-19 facts has contributed to it.
"Americans want to know how the rest of the world is handling COVID-19. Our U.S. government agencies give us no window to the outside world. They want to be updated [with the news] without the filter of what's called the Trusted News Initiative (TNI)."
According to the BBC, the TNI is a partnership involving several mainstream media outlets and Big Tech companies that seeks to "take on disinformation in real time." However, McCullough called the initiative "the worst thing that's happened to mainstream media."
"They agreed to suppress information on early treatment and vaccine safety just to blindly promote the vaccines as the only response to COVID-19. Americans saw right through this," McCullough commented.
