The Assault Against Early Treatment for COVID-19: How One Congressional Hearing Speaks Volumes about America’s Failed Response to the Pandemic
- by Donald C. Pompan, MD Michael M. Jacobs, MD, MPH

The Senate Homeland Security Committee convened a hearing on 19 November 2020 chaired by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) to examine “Early Outpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution.” This hearing was not televised nationally and was sparsely attended, even by its own committee members.
The meeting provided essential insight into why our country has failed miserably in the medical management of COVID-19, especially with high-risk patients. Rather than embracing early treatment, which is how most illnesses are managed, the medical establishment (academia, federal health agencies) has actively suppressed the evidence for early outpatient treatment of COVID-19 illness. The 2-hour and 30-minute hearing is essential viewing for all Americans given that around 275,000 (as of December 1, 2020) of our citizens have died and many aspects of our society are devastated by lockdowns.

There were three physician-scholars supporting early outpatient treatment of symptomatic COVID-19 illness in high-risk patients: Dr. Peter McCullough of Baylor University Medical Center, Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale University, and Dr. George Fareed, Medical Director at Pioneers Medical Center, Brawley, California. Dr. Ashish Jha of Brown University presented the opposing viewpoint.
The hearing began with Senator Johnson, the majority leader, providing background for the early treatment of symptomatic, high-risk COVID-19 patients. The minority leader for the hearing, Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), did not mention early treatment once in his remarks. Rather, he discussed legislation that would create a COVID-19 “disinformation and misinformation” task force purportedly to control the spread of unfounded information and save American lives. He then said, in a veiled reference to the topic being discussed, “we must also be careful about giving Americans a false sense of security by promoting untested and unproven outpatient remedies.”
