Virologist Judy Mikovits PhD is the author of Plague of Corruption about the industrial misuse and abuse of science. On the Dr. Peter Breggin Hour, we go at intimidating questions others avoid. Is Covid-19 the product of Anthony Fauci’s policy decision to collaborate with China to make virulent epidemic viruses? Was Fauci’s decision to push remdesivir wildly misguided? Should you take hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19? Did the shutdown work? Is there hope for a vaccine for Covid-19? Can vaccines cause autism? Is it safer and healthier to catch the flu than to get the flu vaccine? Issues like this are also discussed and documented on Dr. Breggin’s free Coronavirus Resource Center on www.breggin.com.

The annual World Benzodiazepine Awareness Day or W-BAD is coming up again. My guest is Wayne Douglas, co-founder of the event, whose life was overwhelmed by these drugs, which include Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin and Serax. Even when taken as prescribed, the benzodiazepines can ruin individual lives and the lives of their family. They can lead to abuse and dependence, cause withdrawal reactions, and leave individuals with lifelong emotional and cognitive problems. We also discuss the broader implications for every class of psychiatric drug, all of which can lead to cognitive decline and loss of quality of life, with many causing or contributing to suicide or violence. Wayne has been a remarkably effective advocate for awareness of harms caused by these drugs, even addressing the Japanese Parliament, the country in which he received the medications. The show also includes an amazing description of Wayne experiencing the Fukushima earthquake and the subsequent damage to the nuclear power plant. Wayne Douglas may inspire you to find a group in your city to join in spreading life-saving information about these drugs. If you have been harmed by the “BZs” you will find companionship and inspiration through joining the reform movement. You can connect at www.w-bad.org

Master Sergeant Troy Drasher had the most difficult, emotionally challenging job I have ever heard of inside or outside the military. When his air force doc recommended he “take a little something to take the edge off,” his life gradually declined into nightmare under the impact of psychiatric drugs. To the rescue came Dr. Mary Neal Vieten’s Warfighter Advance, one of the best recovery programs I have ever learned about. You will rarely hear such clarity brought to the difference between psychiatry and genuine help. Please listen to his story and his recovery.

A Delightful Exposé of Ancient and Modern Psychiatry
Professor of the Classics Michael Fontaine PhD was so interesting and inspiring two weeks ago talking about ancient pandemics that I asked him back to talk about two other amazing historical events: One is recent, from the 1970s: the famous Rosenhan study, called On Being Sane in Insane Places. Like many critics of conventional psychiatry, I was enamored with it. Rosenhan sent normal volunteers into emergency rooms, instructing them to act entirely normal except to say they were hearing a voice saying “Thud.” They were all locked up and given psychiatric drugs, and only other patients suspected they were not real patients. Or so David Rosenhan’s “scientific” tour de[PB1] force supposedly unfolded. It turns out he conned us, not the psychiatrists. It’s an incredible story. Michael follows up with yet another amazing story, very old: A Roman play based on an even more ancient Greek play that offers a spoof on psychiatry and probably the first ever portrayal of abusive involuntary treatment. Great stuff from a great and amusing scholar.

With my new format that starts with breaking news, I talk about two new blogs by me and Ginger Breggin. The first is a highly-researched report about all of the mistakes made by our New York State Governor, Andrew Cuomo, who is setting a bad model for the nation. It is aptly titled, “Coronavirus SOS: Save Us from Governor Cuomo.” One part shows that once-secret army biowarfare experiments in the subway predicted how badly an epidemic would spread through the underground system and into the city. The second blog goes deeper into rampant nursing home deaths in NYS and ends with the shocking conclusion that political correctness kills. Check out our growing Coronavirus Resource Page on www.breggin.com for all of our reports and for background information and science.
After my report, I interview Irish physician and psychotherapist Terry Lynch who is one the warmest and most intelligent therapists I have ever met, a man whose conversation I treasure, and someone you will be pleased to meet and to learn from. He is one of my most favorite guests.

Today my radio/TV show starts a new format. The hour begins with my current news and analysis report. After the report comes an interview or other topics. Today’s news focuses on a fake VA study claiming that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin were causing the deaths of veterans hospitalized with the coronavirus, but I come up with a shockingly different analysis of its own data—and force a turnabout in the media. After the report, Bob Whitaker, journalist and scientist, gives an extremely informative and lively interview about the latest big lie from psychiatry (it is a whooper) and about encouraging developments in Europe with drug-free inpatient treatment. This is truly a fine interview with one of the most effective people in the psychiatric reform movement. A good Dr. Peter Breggin Hour.

The Most Ancient Plagues: Lessons for Us in the Midst of Our Covid-19 Epidemic
A stunning interview with Professor of Classics Michael Fontaine PhD about historical descriptions of the first recorded plague in Ancient Greece. It also raised interesting issues about women and children in class times. This is one of the most interesting and enlightening interviews I have ever done. It became surprisingly inspiring on how to live today in the face of the coronavirus.
