🚨 DOCTOR CLAIMS SMOKERS WERE "IMMUNE" TO COVID — AND PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID NEXT
A clip from This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von is going massively viral after physician-scientist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough made a claim that completely blindsided viewers.
Theo asked a simple question:
“Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
McCullough's answer?
"There's one adult group... you're gonna laugh. Smokers."
He went on to claim that smokers often experienced milder cases, were less likely to develop long COVID, and that nicotine may interfere with the COVID spike protein's ability to interact with certain receptors in the body.
But the conversation became even more controversial from there.
According to McCullough:
• “Nicotine itself is not harmful to the human body.”
• “It's addictive, but it's not harmful to the human body.”
• nicotine is a cognitive enhancer and nootropic
• nicotine patches are being used by some physicians for long COVID patients
• and the real danger from cigarettes comes from tar and combustion byproducts rather than nicotine itself
The clip is now going viral across social media because it challenges one of the most widely held assumptions people have had for decades about nicotine.
Now the comments are completely divided:
• “This is the opposite of everything we've been told.”
• “Nicotine and smoking are not the same thing.”
• “Why wasn't this discussed more?”
• “I need to see the research.”
Do you think nicotine's reputation is deserved, or has it been misunderstood for decades?
