This new slogan, “Make America Healthy Again,” is attractive, as it shares the common goals of numerous established preventive, nutrition, and fitness disciplines for decades. But the real question is — why now? See if you agree that MAHA is a tactic of electoral politics aiming for RFK and Team Trump to more broadly appeal to a large segment of American voters who want their children to thrive, be free of illness, and be as healthy as possible.
The 2024 election will significantly affect the outcome of all Americans. We’ll discuss the role of presidential politics and its impact on a healthier America. Let’s start with this listener question from AJ:
Dear Malcolm and Dr. McCullough: I wanted to thank you again for all you have done for our country (and the world)! May I again touch upon the question of Trump adulation? I do think he did a wonderful thing with the overturning of Roe v. Wade (tho I’m not sure where he stands on this now), but in short, I believe his policies don’t favor the working classes, and he has equivocated about the Covid vaccine. That said, I wouldn’t vote for the other side. I find myself without a candidate — with the looming possibility that our elections could be theater: a way to placate the masses into thinking their vote matters — when it may not. It could be that candidates and presidents are selected by “the powers that be” and not chosen by the People. Thank you again for your invaluable contributions to humanity.
Risk Stratification for Future Cardiac Arrest after COVID-19 Vaccination
Unheralded cardiac arrest among previously healthy young people without antecedent illness, months or years after COVID-19 vaccination, highlights the urgent need for risk stratification. The most likely underlying pathophysiology is subclinical myopericarditis and reentrant ventricular tachycardia or spontaneous ventricular fibrillation that is commonly precipitated after a surge in catecholamines during exercise or the waking hours of terminal sleep. Small patches of inflammation and/or edema can be missed on cardiac imaging and autopsy, and the heart can appear grossly normal. This paper reviews evidence linking COVID-19 vaccines to cardiac arrest where unfortunately the majority of victims have had no antecedent clinical evaluation. We propose a comprehensive strategy for evaluating cardiovascular risk post-vaccination, incorporating detailed patient history, antibody testing, and cardiac diagnostics in the best attempt to detect abnormalities before sudden cardiac death. This approach aims to identify individuals at higher risk of cardiac events after COVID-19 vaccination and guide appropriate clinical management. It is prudent for each primary care physician to have a pre-established plan when addressing this issue in their practice. (https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202408.0821/v1)

Melanie – I love the show Malcolm and Dr. McCullough; thank you for providing it, you legends. I listened to a podcast about the detox you recommend for the spike protein, during which you mentioned that pretty much everyone is vaccinated as some form of autoimmune disorder, and this was due to frameshifting. Is this permanent, and what kinds of changes are you seeing? I feel fine currently, but God knows what will happen.
Sarah – Has Dr. McCullugh heard of any connections between congenital heart defects with a baby and Covid vaxxed parents? My friend’s baby was born with 4 holes in the heart and has a swollen heart valve and one that will probably need replacing at some point in the future.
Joe – If these cardiac arrests are caused by myocarditis/pericarditis, what can be done to ensure you don’t die? If we have subclinical myocarditis, would ECGs and EKGs be enough to rule out myocarditis? I get worried as I was vaccinated in 2021, and every now and then, I do get tight-chested and get irregular beating, but my ECGs and EKGs are fine. Should I worry?
Cy – The vaccine exhausts the T-cells and makes the body IGg4 tolerant, but is this true for everyone, Dr. McCullough?
Jay – How long does the spike protein from the vax last in the body? I know that there’s a paper showing it’s in the blood after 6 months, but did it leave after 6 months? The fact that people are still being hurt or, worse, killed would suggest that it’s still in the body, but is it still being produced?
Janet – This is for Malcolm and Dr. McCulluogh. Thank you for your informative show. My question pertains to xylitol and if Dr. McCullough is concerned with a recent report in the European Heart Journal that polyol sugars (eg, erythritol and xylitol) increase the risk of platelet aggregation and thrombosis. I have bought many products in the Xlear line and although I don’t intentionally ingest them, some is swallowed.
Rory – Will the experimental mRNA vaccines kill everyone?
