The US had a horrible leader who was a covid denier and supporter of misinformation. But. There were lots of great sources of information from a variety of medical institutions. None of which required using social media.

 

Campbell spreads misinformation for profit on social media. Ignore him.

Everything he posts is supported by citations from legitimate sources. If you agree or disagree is up to you but at least he gives the opportunity to make informed decisions.

No. Campbell is an accused peddler of COVID and COVID vaccines misinformation, as has been claimed by your so-called fact check rubbish - strange that it contains no actual direct links to the examples of misinformation that Dr. Campbell is accused of spreading.

Guilty of spreading misinformation.

They did the best they could considering this was the worst pandemic in a century. Lockdowns work. But only if people abide by them, which they didn't and that's what caused 2 outbreaks here. Remember the government officials who went to Cambodia, got sick, then spread it at an illegal night club in Bangkok?

The virus will spread that's the nature of it. This is Sweeden which didn't lockdown. Apart from this the lockdown policy wasn't based on evidence. It was a reaction.

In conclusion, Sweden experienced relatively fewer deaths per population unit than most other high-income countries that implemented stricter lockdown measures.

The citations you make are from those who pushed the narrative. GDP? No lockdown was the only reason for this? The number of daily infections would indicate that to some extent it did work. 

Edited February 25, 20242 yr by dinsdale

Campbell intimates a link between the white blood clots and the vaccines. Question is why doesn't he say; that because the period in which these clots first appeared correlates with the vaccine rollout there appears a link may, or may not exist, but further independant investigation is needed. He can't. If he said this YT would delete the upload and strike his channel. Freedom of speech is no longer allowed. Thou Shalt Not Question the Narrative. There is only one truth.

Allow me to add my anecdote.  My wife and I were living in China, Hainan Island, during the first two years of the covids.  Unable to renew my retirement extension as international travel was prohibited.

 

Hainan has a population of 10 million, had required masking and social distancing, and some locations had limited lockdowns.  In the beginning, public transport was shut down for two weeks.  During that time we were restricted to our condo, one person allowed out once per day to forage for vittles.  The entire population was tested several times.  Positive tests resulted in entire housing complexes being thoroughly sanitized, with all public contacts of the infected individual tracked via cellphone app.

 

Over the first two years of the covids, there were about 200 symptomatic cases and six deaths on the island.  Most of those cases were brought in by persons returning from the mainland.

 

Domestic restrictions were loosened in 2022, coinciding with thousands of cases during the latter half of the year.  We left in July of that year before the outbreak in Sanya in August.

Being dictated to by big pharma and the governments in their pockets isn't freedom. People should be able to make their own informed decisions which means ALL available research and information should be on the table not just that which gets the tick of approaval from the vested interests. As for misinformation why was AZ called safe and effective when it wasn't (as is public knowelge AZ caused blood clots and the product was withdrawn). I'll tell you. Money. How about the fact that mRNA spike proteins are found throughout the body when the manufacturers of said product said this would not be the case.

A study involving rats showed a wide systemic distibution of spike proteinsand this was before the emergency approaval of the mRNA vaccines. The public were told that it stays in the deltoid muscle. Clear misinformation.

No one? So you didn't bother to read the OP post in this thread, which recounted the following:

 

"Thai doctor Thiravat Hemachudha sparked controversy when he shared information about the potentially fatal effect of the messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Covid-19 vaccine, citing English YouTuber John Campbell.

 

Thiravat shared information from the English YouTuber, and retired nurse educator, Campbell, on Facebook on February 19. Thiravat talked about a white clot that was found in people and dead bodies with a history of the mRNA Covid vaccines."

 

https://aseannow.com/topic/1320487-controversy-erupts-as-thai-doctors-clash-over-mrna-vaccine-effect/

 

That pretty much sounds like folks linking the clots with COVID vaccines... of course, without any evidence or proof of the connection, and the notion of such a connection having previously been debunked by various medical experts, as recounted in my earlier posts here above.

And of course, that's exactly what numerous anti-vax posters have been doing and trying to do throughout this ridiculous thread -- claim some connection between the clots and COVID vaccines.

 

So much for your "no one."

 

 

 

"Anti-vax posters" It really does seem that you can't or just wont get it into your head that one can have grave misgivings about mRNA vaccines and NOT BE AN ANTI-VAXER. Not mutually inclusive as I have stated many times.

Yes that narrative was pushed very heavily.

 

At "the speed of science"

 

That IMHO was due to the totally overboard reactions of certain governments who totally ignored "accepted"  pandemic protocols  and instead followed China's route.

 

The "experts"  have estimated with their computer models that millions where saved.

If you didn't see bodies piled up around the world as well as people begging for shots and hosptial beds and incubators  or anything to stop the carnage then I can't help you as it was everywhere  with live reports on the web and tv daily. 

 

I suppose u would prefer that they moved very slowly to try and come up with a new vaccine...maybe run clinical trials for a few years til a billion or so people were dead? 

 

It was a horrible disease worldwide so you can either sit on the sidelines and do nothing for fear of not getting a vax 100% safe (never happen) or claim it was all some big hoax and everybody would have been better off to just let it run its course.

Where does the vaccine go?

Here's a peer-reviewed study that shows where intramuscular vaccines (which all three of the COVID-19 vaccines are) travel in macaques (a type of monkey). Vaccines mostly remain near the site of injection (the arm muscle) and local lymph nodes. 

...

Another peer-reviewed study tested exactly where an mRNA vaccine went in mice. Most of the mRNA vaccine stayed in the injection site muscle – where you get the shot. Look at Table 1. A lot of mRNA vaccine was found in local lymph nodes, which peaked about eight hours after the shot was given. A much smaller amount of mRNA vaccine went to farther away lymph nodes."

The mRNA vaccines have proven both more effective and safer, according to health experts.

 

 

More disinformation

AZ never even applied for FDA approval due to insufficient production.

Some countries discontinued the use of AZ due to adverse media allegations that were never proven, the vaccine is still being produced.

One thing that has been proven, a friend of mine contracted Bullous Pemphigold as a result of the mRNA vaccine, his first 2 shots of AZ had no adverse effects.

There are people for whom the vaccine is probably a good thing and then there are those where it's not needed. Now it's Omicron this is certainly the case evidenced by govts recommending jabs only for the vulnurable and those over a particular age. I think in the UK it's now 70 yrs old.

@dinsdale > The large majority of your posts in this thread I wholeheartedly agree with.  But you are currently in a somewhat uncomfortable position.  You are still praising the merits of the jabs while at same time being 'accused' by the covid jab-enthusiasts of being a loony anti-vax conspiracy adept.  A bit like dr John Campbell who started as a pure sang covid-jab Believer, and had the genuine intent of providing accurate information to his viewers about the subject, but gradually - as the evidence kept on accumulating - came to realize that the holes in the official narrative were too big to be ignored.  To his credit he is still providing accurate information even though he is now Persona Non Grata to many of his previous audience.  And unfortunately he must walk on eggshells in his current videos as he cannot show the back of his tongue as that would mean him being banned from YouTube.  Hence he lets his audience draw their conclusions from the data he presents, by asking rhetorical questions.
