The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story is a best-selling 1994 nonfiction thriller by Richard Preston about the origins and incidents involving viral hemorrhagic fevers, particularly ebolaviruses and Marburg viruses. Preston’s 1992 New Yorker article “Crisis in the Hot Zone” was the basis of the book.
Filoviruses — including the Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Marburg virus, and Ravn virus — are Biosafety Level 4 agents. They are extremely dangerous to humans because they are very infectious, have a high fatality rate, and most have no known prophylactic measures, treatments, or cures. Along with describing the history of the devastation caused by two of these Central African diseases, Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease, Preston described a 1989 incident in which a relative of the Ebola virus, Reston virus, was discovered at a primate quarantine facility in Reston, Virginia, less than 15 miles (24 km) away from Washington, D.C.
Preston could not have imagined that a real hot zone would be Wuhan, China, in 2019 with a coronavirus that was poised to get the entire world sick. In this issue of the McCullough Report, we cover more testimony on Capitol Hill from Dr. Peter Daszak, PhD, on his role in the creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. John Leake goes in-depth on reporting that Daszak had prized research grants from the National Institutes of Health that essentially shuttled the design plans and laboratory procedures in writing from Dr. Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to Dr. Wuhan-based virologist Shi Zhengli who had identified dozens of deadly SARS-like viruses in bat caves.
This team of conspirators created the first prototypical chimeric virus and published their findings in two prestigious medical journals in 2015 and 2016. Previously, Dr. Anthony Fauci was not asked a single important question from the House Select Coronavirus Subcommittee on his role with Drs. Ralph Baric, Peter Daszak, and Shi Zhengli on the creation, through gain-of-function research, of the SARS-like Wuhan Institute of Virology-1-CoV virus published in 2015-2016.
He was not asked why the genetic code from Baric’s virus was not released to the public per usual procedures with government-sponsored research. A tip-off to the choreography in Washington is that Baric and these publications have never been brought forward for questions from the House or the Senate.
Bill Gates’ nuclear firm collaborated with Chinese military-linked company
Why has Baric not released the genetic code for these creations? Does it match the “wild-type” original Wuhan strain of SARS-CoV-2? Why was Daszak chosen by the WHO to inspect the Wuhan site in January 2020 and tell us the virus came from nature when he knew all along it was the product of his coordinated work with Baric and Zhengli?
We cover this topic extensively and move on to updates on highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, which is positioned to be disease X or the next pandemic with preplanned surges in animal testing, pre-approved human vaccines, and a fear campaign as we have never seen before. Expect a food shortage and concerns over viral spread from farms, transporters, grocery stores, and more.

The McCullough Report: Sat | Sun 2 PM ET – Internationally recognized Dr. Peter A. McCullough, known for his iconic views on the state of medical truth in America and around the globe, pierces through the thin veil of mainstream media stories that skirt the significant issues and provide no tractable basis for durable insight. Listen on iHeart Radio, our world-class media player, or our free apps on Apple, Android, or Alexa. Each episode goes to major podcast networks early in the week and can be heard on-demand anywhere in the world.
Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist managing the cardiovascular complications of both the viral infection and the injuries developing after the COVID-19 vaccine in Dallas, TX, USA. Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published “Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection,” the first synthesis of sequenced multidrug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine. He has dozens of peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has extensively commented on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in TheHill, America Out Loud, NewsMax, One America News, Victory Channel, NTD, and FOX NEWS Channel. Dr. McCullough has testified on pandemic response multiple times in the US Senate, Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, Arizona Senate, Colorado General Assembly, New Hampshire Senate, Pennsylvania Senate, and South Carolina Senate. On December 7, 2022, Dr. McCullough co-moderated a Senate Panel and concluded that all COVID-19 vaccines should be removed from the market for excess mortality. Dr. McCullough has reviewed thousands of reports, participated in scientific congresses, group discussions, and press releases, and has been considered among the world’s top experts on COVID-19
