John Campbell - pain in the proverbial and appears to consistently subtly play down the threat of CV19. He was the idiot that was telling people that we should aspirate when we give the vaccination based on some spurious data from somewhere.

For a lay person like myself I like seeing someone going over the data he has available, which in my mind is basically what he does. I will leave it there and bow out now as it appears this thread wasn't the place for such a video

Little Miss Happy Dec 2021 5:47pm, 12 Dec 2021 5,379 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy Anything that scares people or makes them reluctant to be vaccinated winds me up Big G and underplaying the threat (I don't believe that it's possible to say from the data available that Omicron is not a threat or the reputable UK scientists would be saying the same) is part of that. Not killing that many people or not making that many people dangerously ill does not mean that it isn't a threat to life in the UK as we would like it to be.
