Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Harvey Risch, and colleagues were censored by the formerly respected scientific journal The Lancet: their paper, removed within 24 hours, found that 74% of the deaths following mRNA vaccine injection were likely caused by the injection.

The Lancet Study: How It Started

Dr. McCullough, one of the most highly esteemed and credentialed cardiologists in the world, was contacted by a graduate student from the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Dr. McCullough, being a University Michigan Alum himself, was quickly accepted by the university as a mentor. The graduate student and Dr. McCullough then began working together on a project aimed at identifying all the published deaths that occurred after the mRNA vaccine. 

They sifted through hundreds of papers, eventually narrowing their search to 44 papers containing 325 autopsies. Each case was reviewed by three experts, including the former president of Royal College of Pathology Dr. Roger Hodkinson. Two out of three of the experts needed to agree that the vaccine was either the direct cause of death or significantly contributed to death in order for the study to continue.

The paper was finalized and then moved forward into the submission process for publication. Dr. McCullough describes how the New England Journal of Medicine rejected the paper after a few days, while the Journal of American Medical Association rejected it within an hour. The only reasoning that was provided by the journals was that the study was not a priority for them.

The team also submitted to The Lancet. Dr. McCullough had previously published in The Lancet, so it would not be new territory. After about three days, The Lancet agreed to publish the study on their preprint server. 

Overnight, the downloads of the full manuscript were by the hundreds per minute. Dr. McCullough attributes the enormous amount of interest to the amount of detail provided in the study’s evidence tables on the autopsies. The standard search methodology used in the study is a method in which Dr. McCullough has much experience.
