"Ivermectin saved Japan from Covid-19" was always bunk
Misinformation dissection!
At the end of 2021, ivermectin advocates leaned heavily into a particular narrative: that ivermectin adoption caused a steep decline in Covid-19 cases in Japan. In this video, we revisit that story with the benefit of hindsight, and use the example to understand how misinformation works.

Absolute nonsense from John Campbell about Multiple Sclerosis, vaccination, and the WHO.

I've been brought back from my hiatus by @Campbellteaching's absolute nonsense about Vaccination and Multiple Sclerosis. His video is an object lesson in misinformation, and because I believe Dr. Campbell is both intelligent and informed, I can't think of a charitable interpretation of his actions.

Beautifully explained. Added context from the lecture on substitution models made the algorithm easy to understand. Thanks for this professor Greg.
No the mRNA vaccine cannot induce MS. The mRNA from the vaccines degrade very fast They cannot travel around the body and invade cells. The RNase enzyme breaks down RNA molecules including mRNA. So mRNA from the vaccines do not last very long. The mRNA from the vaccines cannot enter the cells. mRNA does not harm people. Everyone has mRNA in every cell in their body. mRNA has never harm anyone. If mRNA caused any harm we would know it.
2 years later and John Campbell was actually correct. Supposedly CDC said they never and couldn't stop anyone from taking Ivermectin. They did stop filling subscriptions. It actually worked and has been used for a long time. We can't trust doctors any longer.
Campbell gives me the creeps
Sorry mate. I trust Campbell not you.
Nurse Campbell is making a lot of money of his lies,by talking to idiots who do not fact check
Ivermectin has many benefits. There are at least 5 world renowned doctors who have used is for covid.
🤡🤡🤡 alert
line up for another booster
My dad now has myocardious , I wonder what from. Listening to foolish people like Dr John Campbell when he was pushing the safe and effective 😢
Dr Campbell has released close to 1000 videos on covid all backed up with facts we can check ourselves & you've released one poorly made video trying to rag him out. In my opinion you have no credibility & Dr Campbell has an immense amount of credibility.
My comment wouldn't post!!!!! I'm a nurse!!!! Read between the lines!!!!!!
SIR, WHO IS PAYING YOU???????,,!!!!!!!! I AM A NURSE AND YOU ARE TELLING LIES. SO MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ARE NOW SICK. THEY ARE PUTTING TWO AND TWO TOGETHER. PROFESSOR, I DIDN'T TAKE IT. IM NEVER OFF SICK. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNT FOR THIS VIDEO.
Well said Margaret. No one believes this guy. 3 million believe John Campbell.
How does this video not have millions of views? Thanks, Prof Greg.
you are so sad get a life
we dont need your bull shit go back to your employer big pharma your masters your a liar and a disgrace
your delusional you need help
Greg is cia
is this kid all you have ? your masters in big pharma wont be happy this is so much bull shit
Yea sure😂
You can spot data mishandling, when the comment section is all positive!
Professor Greg attracts intelligent people.
can we have this content in slide form??
Just wondering if your views on the novel Covid vaccines and alternative (repurposed drugs) treatments of Covid have changed.
Thanks but it was a genuine question to which I would be genuinely interested in the answer.
I just came here to say that your wrong it does work 😊 pharmaceutical shill.........
operation warpspeed baby. no jab no job. obedience is demanded on the space ball reality lmao
Campbell hasn't told us if he had a covid vaccine or not. Covid vaccine saved millions of lives. He's an anti vaxer!
The whole Covid pandemic was a scam promoted by Big Pharma. Whilst there were viable, effective and more importantly, CHEAP alternatives available there was no legal basis on which to declare a pandemic or push expensive and also experimental vaccines. All potential alternative treatments had to be rubbished to enable this fraud. Millions fell for it. and millions will die prematurely.
346 comments, no subscriptions. Have a vaccine or two
no jab no job. you know this dude took all 33 jabs and boosters
3.08M vs 7.15K Subscribers. Hay Prof, do your own videos and present your own material even if it differs from that of another UA-camr. You have a very long way to go to get to 1M and when you do it'll be a barometer that people are beginning to gain confidence in your motives.
Stop slandering. Stop covering up.
Well, seems you were proven mistaken ! Imagen he's teaching your kids !
I had my vaccine shot and a few days later my eyes fell out and I grew an extra foot out of my arse. There's definitely something going on...
SIR BUT YOU MAKE VACCNIES ?
Yes, this is exactly what they wanted from us folks.. smart clever men wasting their time on petty semantics while the monster tiptoes away..lol so sad😢
I was hoping to see and hear a conversation between the two of you. Not you just making comments very disappointed.
Fact check .... virus hardly killing 5% compared to the GMO want a be vaccine. CANCERS RISING ALL OVER THE WORLD
Well this aged like milk, didn't it? A public apology is in order.
Hi free thinkers, if you state Dr J Campbell is serious misinformation then settle your grievance in Court of Law.
You didn't click on the link to WHO's publication DR John Campbell published???!!
Subbed!
He really DOES misunderstand science, especially for a Nurse, lol. Looking forward to your video and unlike the Campbell defender trolls are here, I hope you do well with it! These commenters are pathetic, lol.
I watch John's videos regularly. I am intrigued to hear the other side of argument. Do you have any others on him?
It's a shame that Campbell, someone who provided useful information at the height of the pandemic, has now resorted to such grubby lies to get hits on his UA-cam channel.
Don't like inconvenient truths do you shill.
Where are you??????
I’d like a balanced and intellectual argument, rather than scribbled underlining on notes and sarcasm. I’m sure there have been many who have had side effects after the Covid vaccination. But what are the statistics? How many people have been protected from Covid and had no side effects? I’d like more information from scientists from many backgrounds. I’m sure there are some scientists who have integrity and are willing to be accountable.
Go fuch yourself with the Big Pharmas...
I'm not surprised that Campbell didn't respond to you. You're effort is one of complete falsehood aimed at generating your own community growth at the expense of one of the most dedicated practitioners in science. That would make you the ultimate gaslighter among gaslighters. You fail to stage an appropriate context first and foremost which stands out immediately as self justification supporting your intent to undermine another for your own personal gain. Secondly, you fail to provide any RELIABLE alternative to the public, fact based data Campbell provides in nearly every instance, self evident. If you truly understood immunology and it's potential risks associated with corporate disease marketing you wouldn't be wasting your time or credibility on curve fitting yourself to a failing agenda. There is nothing that can be done to stop the truth of science eventually rising above the kinds of lies being perpetrated against those who DO understand and work to educate faithfully. All that marks you a demonstrated sociopath with a camera and microphone.
Hey buddy! You’re not fooling us! Ok?
