No concession was given or required.

It was the point I was making all long.

You say suggesting something happens implies it's all that happens. I say it doesn't mean that at all and you agree. Maybe your logic has been chopped too small to grasp.

Once again for those making claims without evidence or those who might be tricked by those claims. All that is required is to view the source material.....apparently 'pulling faces' and nodding is some kind of dog whistle.

However, here are the facts....Campbell took the vaccines and boosters and campaigned for people to take them. He has worked helping people all his career in the medical field and hasn't exploited people unlike some we could speak of.

He was just as popular then as now. He was making just as much money then as now.

Those who make claims that don't hold up to scrutiny are either dishonest....which most of us here already know....or their judgement is so impaired as to make their trolling pronouncements worthless.

He's also been an 'active, licensed physician' since 1993. Rand Paul having followed in the footsteps of his Doctor then Senator father Ron Paul.

Sure he supports Trump, but not without criticism. The obvious fact being that Trump for all his flaws is a million miles better and safer bet for America and the world than the current corrupt zombie pervert currently haunting the White House.

That anyone thinks they are good points is enough.

That though is immaterial. What matters is to establish the context of that video clip to see why it was selected and who and why was asking the loaded questions.

That it is considered necessary to try to defend the activities of Dr John Campbell is, of itself, revealing. Especially when many of the claims are not disputed at all.

It is accepted he had a respectable career in nursing where he learned the communication and teaching skills he is employing now. It is also accepted that at the start of the pandemic he was trying to genuinely help and inform people about a new and worrying disease, utilising his skills and avuncular manner to reassure. He himself was vaccinated. So far, so good. Having built up a following he realised that he had stumbled upon something that was beginning to make serious money. He also realised that it was the sceptics who were becoming the dominant users of his videos. The more critical he became, the more users he got. His videos went from being informative to being misinformative. You don’t need to take my word for that. There are enough debunking exposures by people with genuine qualifications in the field to make that an established fact. Remember John Campbell is a Doctor of Nursing Education. Not a specialist in virology or any other medical science. His skill is in presentation.

These days his very clever videos are inevitably full of things that hint at providing support for the ideas held by the anti-vax, anti-lockdown, anti-pharma bunch of sceptics who think the WHO and governments around the world are conspiring to keep information from us. Watch them if you must and you will indeed see the dog whistles on his face in the corner.

He cannot believe these things himself. He is clearly a clever man, as well as being a highly skilled presenter. That relaxed style is no accident. It’s designed to give you reassurance and confidence. He has though gone to the dark side as he realised his audience wanted a particular type of content. That’s where the money is. It’s no longer in providing reassurance. We all know much more now and have experience and the vaccines as our reassurance. It’s the sceptics who need their red meat.

I would love to see him being grilled over some of his videos by a panel of real experts and being forced to have to defend them and his motivations for making them.

Maybe then those who seem to think all of the above are lies will at long last themselves be forced to accept they are wrong.
