This is true. My own view is that he probably started out with honorable motives but has tumbled into such a lucrative pot of gold that now he is feeding his audience the bits they want to hear.

Campbell's videos may well use official statistics, but he doesn't use them all and he then puts his own interpretation on them as to what they mean.

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is very pertinent. It's a way of describing how statistics are used to bolster weak arguments.

I would have to trawl through 2000+ videos to answer that and I have no interest and even less time to waste on such a pointless exercise.

It's pointless because we aren't dealing with absolute, incontrovertible facts. We are dealing with opinions.

It's no different to asking an atheist to prove that there is no God. Conspiracy theories live because of a lack of certainty. For some, it seems, if it could be, it is.

Standards of proof vary. Believers in God believe without any proof that would satisfy me but do them.

So it's a question of who you trust. A non-specialist making YouTube videos and in so doing becoming very rich? Or the vast majority of specialists, all around the world, who have reached a consensus?

I am having my next booster on Monday and am very glad I am. Covid is still in circulation and I will do all I can to avoid catching it again, but should I do so expect an updated vaccine to protect me from the worst effects.

I have seen enough of his videos to detect a change in them. They started by informing, moved to questioning and then to accusing. The tone has changed.

I have no doubt that before he became a YouTube celebrity he indeed "gave his life to others", although he got paid too.

Now though he is making more money in a year than he earned in his lifetime before. Would you risk shooting the golden cow when you could ensure your family's future for generations?

If he stated publicly that he was giving all his YouTube earnings to research then I would be forced to re-appraise, but so far as I know he doesn't.

The WHO declared the pandemic was over a few days ago but warned this doesn’t mean we can lower our guard.

The NHS is now playing catch up but is restricted by staff shortages, My wife’s department wants to switch to 12 hour clinics and work Sundays too, rather than 8 hours and 6 days but staffing it is the issue.

But the decision to limit the boosters was taken in April.

I would expect the DHSC and the WHO talk to each other and know what’s planned well ahead of announcements.
