Dr Peter McCullough seems to claim that he is an epidemiologist.
He is not.

Seems to? Hmm, the light seems to be on but it is not. Either the light is on or it is off.
Seems to does not mean has done!

He is certainly qualified as a doctor, and I don’t doubt that he is academically bright. So are thousands, no, more than thousands, of medically qualified doctors.
Doctors can sometimes disagree with each other. It is possible for one lone voice to be right and for the establishment or greater body to be wrong. It’s not on that basis that I give no credence to Peter McCullough’s views on COVID-19 and vaccinations and treatment thereto; it is because the evidence, the actual data, the research and the clinical results and facts starkly contradict his views.
The FDA concluded, based on the results of studies in the use of hydroxychloriquine, that it was ineffective as a medical intervention against COVID-19. They had approved its use with an emergency use authorisation initially in the desperate hope that it might prevent or treat COVID-19 infection and moderate to severe symptoms and death, and there have been some very good studies /clinical trials. However, to date, the clinical trials have contraindicated its use; not only is it ineffective, but there is a significant risk of cardiac damage arising (including the outcome of death). The risk of those adverse outcomes is considerably larger than the risk of the rare blood clotting in AZ.
It’s no surprise that the emergency use authorisation was revoked.

I see you're dedicated in your mission and fair enough.
If you watch the interviews with him plus other doctors who have been using this drug, you'll note that tests referred to are not in the early stages and not always in keeping with a prescribed treatment plan. Also note that hydroxychlorquine is never used on its own in treating this corona virus. It is just one of the components.
Talking of damage to a person with hydroxychlorquine treatment, a lot of those damages are from treatment where it is the sole or main drug. With treating Covid 19, the dose is different (lower), hydroxycholorquine is not used on its own and the course is much shorter.
And as for the FDA, well what can one say. From what I have known over the years, there appears to be more than just speculation on the integrity of this organization.
Money can be used to pay bills, buy food, fill your car petrol tank, take your family to the picture show, buy that new shirt or dress that you've had your eye on. It can be used for many things including buying people!
The below clip can give an insight into what does or doesn't go on.

Intelligent people can be wrong or mistaken, just as foolish people can. Intellect is not a defence against stubbornness, wrong thinking, confirmation bias, favouring a pet theory, etc. Conspiracy theorists come from all walks of life and have various levels of education. Facts and data will not sway a person with a strong and blind devotion to a particular view.
It’s very likely that all of us have our own personal immovable positions on some aspects. I have my own, although my nature and my mind seek to reconcile my views with raw data.

We're talking about historical success with this drug. Using terms such as "confirmation bias, favouring a pet theory, etc. Conspiracy theorists" just sound like what agri-chemical companies use to try and counter accounts, evidence or harm caused by their product. There is none of this conspiracy theory or fanciful pet idea with Dr. McCullough.
Dr. Peter McCullough is not the only doctor who has had success with its use. It has been the drug of choice in India until recent times. In some South American countries it is part of the treatment of choice.
Under strict medical supervision, oral drug treatment has merit.
