John Leake

John Leake is a best-selling author. His most recent book — “Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death while Battling the Biopharmaceutical Complex” — was co-authored with Dr. Peter A. McCullough. Leake studied history and philosophy with Sir Roger Scruton at Boston University. He then went to Vienna, Austria on a graduate school scholarship and ended up living in the city for over a decade, working as a freelance writer and translator. In March 2020, when SARS-CoV-2 started to spread in the U.S., he perceived that the pandemic response was illogical at best, and possibly criminal. He found it especially suspicious how quickly public health officials dismissed repurposed medications such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. In November of 2020, he watched a video of McCullough’s U.S. Senate testimony about early treatment. He sensed from this performance that McCullough was likely to lead the way in developing a more rational, honest and humane response to the crisis and their collaboration was born.
