Dr. Anthony S. Fauci
We have 60 million people in this country who are not vaccinated who are eligible to be vaccinated
Let’s get them vaccinated.
Let’s get the people vaccinated, boosted.
Let’s get the children vaccinated.
Get boosted now
We may not need a variant-specific boost.

There is no evidence that I'm aware of
that will suggest that boosting the entire population is going to necessarily provide any greater protection for otherwise healthy individuals

The perfect scenario is for Omicron to be very transmissible but not cause serious illness - this may be our only way to achieve herd immunity from this virus.
Wake up. Patients getting omicron have been vaxxed and have had previous variants. Where in that is herd immunity?
There's no money in herd immunity, so don't count on it.
A friend who is a virologist has been telling me since last week that this omicron will likely be mild and spread so that everyone gets it. We can only hope that the immunity it provides will apply to the next variants too.
@CastAirLead you are spreading lies. Herd immunity is indeed working. And natural immunity is real and working. There are studies with 350,000 people showing prof that reinfection less then one percent.
@@footed16 thats true
WHO blaming unvaccinated for variants is nonsense. Thank you for presenting the counter argument.
WHO is trash.
How else does variants come about?
@@Landofjello Viral mutations having a better chance evading the alpha-spike protein (antibodies) in the jabbed should do it. Especially when we know the jabbed can have 1000% higher viral loads than the unjabbed!
@@grimfpv292 What are you talking about? Do you know what a spike protein is? And loads are 1000% higher in vaccinated individuals? Where the heck are you getting this information from??
@Tom any vaccine that doesn’t stop the virus can contribute to mutations…as we all know the vaccines available do not stop the virus
Politicians speak of "the unvaccinated" as if they are one homogeneous group. They are at least TWO groups: 1) those who've survived infection, and 2) those who haven't. And possibly even 3) those who haven't, yet have some antibodies. Each group should have its own stats.
Oh no actual scientific method being applied to this. Censor this comment before the spell on the idiots wears off! Lol
Very simply, in the U.S.A. the Govt. pays for the vaccine, and keeps track of who gets it and when.
Nobody registers you when you catch Covid19. So where would those stats you ask for come from?
There's also half dead people and people who probably wouldn't even catch C19 under most circumstances..
@@guygordon2780 antibody/spike protein tests to determine immunity in those claiming previous infection would be a start. Maybe the govt can pay for that since they have no problem doling out money for the ineffective jab. Make sense?
Or just stop the bs all together how about that ?
Thank you, Dr. Campbell for a much more fair discussion of vaccinated, unvaccinated and variants today. And just to let you know, I very much appreciate the time and work you devote presenting this information to us.
It's about two years now since I started listening to you, and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your calm recitation of events, effects, and things to expect. I recently met with a friend who scoffed way back in January 2020 when I told him I had heard you warning of things to come. Our whole world has changed. Thank you for continuing your stalwart encouragement each day.
Yep, only source of non biased factual information. Need more like Doc Campbell.
If he doesn't ever talk about how dangerous the jabs are then hes part of the problem. Living in a dangerous world right now. Greatest experiment on mankind.
@Tracy55 I had had both Pfizer jabs by June and it was pretty obvious that we would need boosters. The virus simply changes too much. I know several people that got COVID-19, despite being fully jabbed. When I get the booster offered, I'll go for it ASAP. I volunteer in several places, so I have a lot of interactions with many different people. I also get tested every week or so. I am not at all anxious about getting infected but I like to do my part.
@@johmyh14 ...
Of course you do Joh Myh....of course you do you little UA-cam troll.
@Tracy55 I'ts an honor hearing from the world's greatest virologist, our Trace.
It is currently summer time in South Africa. It has been raining, but it is a time when many are outside.
1. Smaller viral load?
2. Vitamin D from sun?
3. Exercise and general health better than winter time?
These are also factors one needs to consider when we compare countries.
Thanks for the videos.
Very informative and clearly presented.
We also don't live in pristine conditions so have built up a tolerance to germs
...Vaccination rates
Current news yes good point but here we are in winter time so we are getting a good view on how it effects people in the winter time at the moment. I'm in the Netherlands so I'm sure we will know a lot more in a few weeks
Excellent points
One of the things about COVID-19 is that it shows no seasonality. This has had the epidemiologists scratching their heads since 2020.
Dr. John, this is an FYI: yesterday, I had a follow-up echocardiogram after having problems with a pulmonary embolism w/ atrial damage, eighteen months ago. The echo showed that I've returned to a better cardiac status (been working on it), however, the M.D. asked if I would agree to having echo's performed at 90-day intervals, not because of the heart itself, rather, because of the fact that I was one of the earlier receipients of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine, and it's booster dose. The healthcare facility (itself) is covering the costs of the more frequent screenings, and I will be informed of any changes which could be attributed to the vaccine 'in real time'. I don't believe I'm the lone person being monitored, however, if it helps the science of the illness, it'll be worth the aggrivation.
Thank you. I'm so glad you are able to build resilience. My sister is a runner and maintains a healthy weight. She experienced heart inflammation after both Pfizer vaccinations. I shared Dr. Campbell's information about rest with her and the symptoms were much less after #2.
I am glad you might be willing to help the science. Stay healthy!
I find it marvelous that they are willing to do this at all. I hope you remain healthy, but are they also doing this set of tests on less healthier people? (I know you don't know the answer to that, just thinking here.) If they are, that will show what the real consequences are for the public at large, within reason. However, if they are not this will only prove how the vax effects healthy people, adding to the shame and harrassment people with non-perfect health will get to deal with. Also, possibly withholding any treatment for the non-healthy, because they're expendable. ???
LOL ! Fraud Dr Fauchi and WHO are still pushing vaccines with no evidence /peer reviewed study that shows vaccines have lowered hospitalisation with ICU or death reduction. But still they push for vaccines to help their pharma paymasters to make their Billions
Ivermectin with vit D , vit c and zinc . and diet with less carbs more good fat , veggies as part of diet will boost your imunity to fight and survive better than these unproven vaccines
Sorry, this fake dr. does not care. He only cares about pretending to be "unbiased source of information" while actually pushing the injection pretending to be vax.
Covid news aside, Dr John has become a daily part of my life since the pandemic began. It’s comforting to know someone cares enough to do these updates with integrity and honesty.
Amen. He’s a true angel and rational educator. No one compares.
Ignoring vax pushing?
He was mine to for a year, then i found the TWiV channel on youtube and started seeing all the holes in his work on here and he started getting political and arguing against the data, now i just watch him occasionally but never miss a TWiV episode, ever.
They have the true facts as they are all lifelong virologists.
Also there are so many anti vax and conspiracy theorists commenting here these days on the good doctors channel for my liking, crackpots the lot of them!
I sincerely hope he sticks to the science, admits when he interprets data incorrectly and doesn't fall prey to pandering to the masses with click bait articles and interviews. I've seen a big shift in his channel the last few months.
@@gazpf ☝️This!
I would listen to the experts that don't have a financial interest in the vaccines.
Dr. John Can we please have some more of your input on the Pfizer jabs regarding cardio health. The press and government seem to have brushed all that aside and constantly pushing for people to have them. We have seen the numbers of professionals young sports people having heart problems go through the roof lately and there must be a connection?
Im so on the fence about having my 2nd jab now and need some reassuring words before i get this done.
You won't get them from me Mr landscapes. Unjabbed & looking on bemused as the double jabbed begin to realise this isn't what they signed up to. I recommend fruit, fresh air & exercise.
I would wait and see and concentrate on leading a healthy lifestyle and common sense
I ve heard also that the third dose will become mandatory
I think that you should not be asking for reassuring words (which is asking to confirm the opinion you want to have / feel like you should have). In my opinion you should be asking for unbiased statements and advices regarding your own personal situation or regarding the different general categories of people if you don't want to disclose your situation. (Then again it would not mean you get an unbiased answer but you would be on the best tracks to get one and confirm it yourself by reading for yourself the pros and cons sources exposed to you in the answer)
He has dozens of videos on this topic.
Top man thank you for the updates. Quick question as there are more spikes on the new variant does that mean that there is a greater range for the variant to develop in other areas or is the new variant still restricted to its original form. There was a scientist that mentioned that COVID can only change so many times is this still the case for omicron or has the goal posts changed now.
I'm sure that they will create as many variations as required to push the agenda through to completion. And when thats done, we'll suddenly have a new disease entirely requiring a similar amount of social decay and destruction until the mission of having everybody under a hypnotic form of control through fear is complete. They have been laying the grounds for this current paradigm for many decades now.
@@johnknight8152 thank you for your input john
@@zozoa1 as far as any research I've managed to gather in my non medical (as with Dr John) opinion. There is always a decay in the strength of disease as it mutates to overcome immunity. That's why the black death petered out in the end. I'm sure that theory will be adjusted in the history books at some point to meet with current standards of debate.
John, good video tonight by Evening Standard and very close up view looks very unlikely that the nurse aspirated the needle. What do you think ??
74 percent were omicron positive a month ago and now we see few hospitalizations and bad outcomes.... sounds like if 74 percent have had it for four weeks we would already see if it was to be a worse variant.
conditions are better than they could have been after a month of it being dominant.
Point is it has to produce less hospitalizations overall to be truly better. Picking some random numbers for illustration:
1% hospitalizations in 1000 daily omicron cases is 10, which is still more than 2% of 100 daily delta cases which is only 2.
@@gottagowork Hospitalisations aren't necessarily a true indicator of people suffering from severe illness at this stage due to the hype/panic around Omicron making people more likely to get checked out and for doctors more likely to take them for observation.
@@kmeades346
Point is "Hospitalizations" is different than having Physicians checking one's health (at a Clinic).
Yes sir/madame: Many Americans said the mortality rate is only 1% (for Americans) and it was 5% in Wuhan, Hubei, China... However, the catch is: there have been roughly 50 millions infections in the US and < 100K in China since pandemic!
How much cost did US Govt. (of all level) pay for PCR's tests & Genome Sequencing (Not many that is why US has only 1 so far, while as Canada has had 6+); how much Therapeutic Treatments and Hospitalizations (Real Covid Treatments)? And more!
Deaths of Patients due to SARS-CoV-2 are not just Epidemiological Statistics! They are human beings with Relatives and Friends still have to cope with the loss!
Cheers / May God Bless All.
There is a huge difference between "a month ago" and "last month" last month was 2 days ago...
@Richard Riley This is what I'm wondering, too. Is it 74% of those handful of new cases? Somebody thought it was 74% of the entire population. Huge difference.
Why is natural immunity completely disregarded after 2020?
No money to be made from it.
Well, I'm more concerned about the so called vaccines than of the virus right now.
Thanks for the update John.
You might not know this but severe covid can increase your odds of ending up dead one year later and that's for people under 65. According to a study done.
@@timmyburden5701 Thanks for the info but I still take the virus any day over the alternative.
@@Tranarpnorra Why? Covid can and does long term damage to your body in the unvaccinated. Your letting fear possibly ruining your life. A pastor of 65 named Marcus lamb died of covid he believed in Ivermectin and HCQ. He didn't believe in the covid vaccine. He died of covid.
Dr. John, your thoughts on AED?
The problem is, with Mike Ryan’s statement is that we don’t have many healthy people in the UK! Many Vitamin D deficient, many undiagnosed diabetes, many undiagnosed high blood pressure and many overweight.
Those are the real pandemics which are killing slowly AND surely
And Mike Ryan is one of them 🤣😂
Quercetin with zinc and vitamin C and D 3 and multi vitamins would help then .
Less chips and puddings, tubby!
@@1984IsHere Great advice! And add nac with quercetin, it helps boost the effects and as for the multivitamins, its better to buy individual supplements and take them separately as in multi, certain vitamins taken at the same time can counteract each other. Vitamin b6 is good to take when taking quercetin to protect the kidneys and out needs to be taken separately from vit c. Also vit d with k2 to be taken with meal. All makes a difference to absorbency. If you catch covid, take antihistamines alongside this stuff. Another recommendation is xylitol mouth wash and sweets. So many great things that help and they’re not discussing it. Half these bad infections could be avoided with the correct response. Balancing PH levels is also important. :)
Dr Been just posted some more interesting info on levels of covid found in South African waste water at sewage plants. There was a very large rise recently - but they haven't seen the same rise in cases and hospitalisations relative to the data from previous waves. That again suggests a lot of people are getting Omicron, but not getting seriously ill.
just like the other variants then
Like the regular flu huh?
all restrictions should be immediately stopped, so it can spread better. Instead, they try to save the plandemic, mitigating and avoiding that a less dangerous variant may do less damage. Oh, and -kill- boost as many as possible, following the plan.
Yes, over on MedCram now.
Several potential reasons though for folk not getting ill. It may takes longer (seems to take an extra week for symptoms to manifest vs delta), the areas tested have had massive wave from Delta so likely already have natural immunity but also they can't test the waste water to tell what variant it is so don't count chickens just yet.
may not have been spread to the vulnerable elderly just yet, then again its africa and way lower life expectancy so not as many elderly people, just 5.5% of population are over 65. Younger people still becoming sick so doesnt give me much hope that its any less deadly in the elderly, suspect its may be worse. early days still, hindsight would be nice
Recently found this channel and thank you! So simple and easy to follow but full of information
I lost four close friends in 10 months time, from December 2020 to August 2021 from covid and two of them were husband and wife that died 14 minutes apart while on ventilators. Understand that this is no joke! I hope and pray that this will all get better as we move forward into the future for all of our friends and families. Be smart, educate yourself, stay safe and take care out there!

2 fans at the football needed medical attention last night again. A fan needed medical attention at the newcastle match a few weeks ago.

Erikson collapsed in june which I believe was the first case, this needs an investigation. Could be coincidence but still needs an investigation and it needs done YESTERDAY!!

Young guys are falling like flies, and you know a high porcentage of fifa federated footbalist( low categories and youngsters too) where "nailed"
Its not a coincidence check the graphs and stats, its outrageous
If this all happened on camera imagine what could be happening off camera.
You could also check historical data on cardiac problems in sporting events, because they are not that uncommon.
BTW Aguero has had this particular problem since he was a teenager and had episodes of it during his 20s as well.
There will be no investigation, it does not fit the narrative.
Dr Campbell, could you do a short video on suggested amounts of Vitamin D, C, K2, Calcium and Zinc please? All in one short clip please? Thanks
And also kids dosage?
Hello Dr first of all thank you for all your videos and research.
I was wondering if you have information on Chinese or russian vaccines? Thank you
So just how many boosters are y’all willing to take before you hit your linit?
4? 5? Unlimited?
Unlimited
With three, biontech hardware is enoughly installed
@UCJcFX_jiqc3V5JYoqVPLV6Q not 4 shots in a year though is it
No limit if you want a healthy life.
Probably enough to destroy their immune systems forever. In the end they wont be able to fight off a common cold.
Dr. Campbell, you are awesome! It's 5:39am here in U.S. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Does the Covid PCR test for Omnicon? How is it distinguished from delta?
Just curious what test deciphers which variant you have? Cause I called the CDC and they said there is no specific test......
Why don't countries give the people a bigger choice of vaccines. We have until now 6 or 7 vaccines in use. Weirdly in the west the only choice is mRNA!
Yep it's gotta make you wonder why that is.. Very suspicious indeed...
In South America, which is also west, there’s other varieties other than mRNA. Even when I don’t trust Chinese vaccines, my mom took the coronavac from China. Here in Chile, There was pfizer, sinovac and AstraZeneca too. Sadly, boosters are obligatory to get back your freedom and there’s only pfizer and AstraZeneca available, which we have no scientific evidence that it boosters the immunity of someone immunized with a different type of vaccine :/
I’m personally looking hopeful for Novavax, but until then, team natural immunity
The Johnson & Johnson is not an MRNA..
Apparently the Attenuated effective vaccines can not be patented. So no payout for big pharm.
J&J is not MRNA. That was my choice and I just got the booster on October 30th.
You’ve been a comforting voice through all of this. Thank you 🌿
He has got you to line up for 2 possibly 3 shots and your still here with us which is great but take my advice and spread it far and wide. Do not take another shot ever ever again...Dr noack rip 🙏 can show you why.. do not use Google for information ever either. Duck duck go 👊
I just have this one question: Who/where can I go to in South Africa to test which variant I got/have?
All the "normal" labs tells us they don't test for the various variants???
what is the earliest date the could test for this variant?
"Immune escape" should only be used for people who previously had Covid-19 and get reinfected with the Omicron variant. "Vaccine escape" should be used for those who've been vaccinated but get it. JMO
Agree. We need those statistics for a true picture.
Nice hat.
The vaccine generates an immune response without first needing to survive the disease, leaving the immune system with antibodies, so "immune escape" is correct.
@@robsalvv5853 It still provides clarity.
It’s both
The UK gov has now ordered more pokes lasting in 2023. Another 2 for every man women child and baby. This experiment will not end.
Many people called it. They said this would drag on for years, and they were called conspiracy theorists. We are probably about halfway through ATM.
So what’s being done to rule out enhanced replication/pathogenic priming vs. “increased transmissability”?
An important note about the patient's symptoms starting on November 25. In the US that was Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day in the US is the most traveled weekend in the US (Wednesday through Sunday), and the day most family gatherings occur.
very mild symptoms.. robust immunity.. sounds like a great strain...I want this...not the vaccine. Thank you mother nature!
Mild symptoms in fully vaccinated people, but hopefully it’s everyone not just vaccinated. But still early days, won’t be too long before we find out what’s going on exactly.
T h a n k YOU Dr John Campbell for spreading light in these dark times
Dr. John, thought you might like to hear some good news. I dropped by my MD's office today to ask about his advice on getting booster. (Got my 2 jabs of Moderna this spring.) My doc is advising his patients to get the booster. They did not have any today, so I asked about regular flu shot. They had that and gave me the shot. Before the nurse administered it I asked if they aspirated. Guess what? She said absolutely, always, and she knew exactly why it was important. I watched her aspirate before injecting the flu vaccine...what a relief, no argument or puzzled looks like I was wearing a tin foil hat. My family has a bad cardio history and the news today about the FOIA lawsuit release of Pfizer adverse event data made it a top of mind issue for me. Really appreciate your channel, you a so fair and reasoned and a great source of sound information. Thank you, Scotty Mullins, Keller, Texas.
is this variant less severe and are hospitalizations lower than the delta version? Have we moved to the endemic version that we can treat like seasonal flu?
Good morning Dr. Campbell. Thank you once again for keeping us so well informed!
Great information! Has a flu Vax help eliminate a typical problem with the yearly flu? Can U show effectiveness of typical flu Vax and there effectiveness; since breakthroughs seem to be always present with any virus?
These imperfect" leaky " vaccines will never prevent the spread etc, shame on any person of authority that suggested so.
It has, and always will be, to protect from serious illness.
However mass vaccination of healthy people with leaky vaccines is not only unnecessary, it's dangerous.
As the good Dr from the WHO says, without three unvaccinated being exposed we wouldn't get as many mutations, which is exactly what we want, as mutations bring less severity eventually.
Flu jab keeps me safe as I'm severe asthmatic
Look up the term "breakthrough cases" before the pandemic. The term was used, but mostly on fully immunizing vaccines like hepatitis. Flu vaccines are 40-60% effective at REDUCING illness. Same with cov, it reduces symptoms and illness. It's not a "breakthrough case" as it doesn't provide sterilizing immunity, or immunity in general. If the flu vac or cov vac could produce sterilizing immunity or similar, none of us would be having this discussion as it would be clear that we wouldn't be able carry it. That's simply not the case.
@@dixiedoos3512 the flu jab is only 40% to 60% effective, it also depends if you get the right jab for the right flu virus [they have to guess which variant will be around that winter]

hi DR.Campbell, Is theer a chance that Omicron will become the live vaccine of Covid 19? this concept is based on teh prenise that eleicirt a mild effect to the host (hopefully less fatal) , it is fast spreader or highly infectious. Basing on these properties this could be good immune booster for those that are vaccinated and could be a good live vaccine top those that are hessitant tobe vaccinated. Will this variant act as a global vaccine for everyone? Just want have some comment regarding this concept.
Median age in UK is 40.6 median age in South Africa is 28. Big difference so this needs addressing before the wrong information is spread about it affecting young people in the UK. We wouldn’t want to cause alarm in parents…Thanks John
I believe the entire population of the African continent is much, much younger than in most of the rest of the world. Also a lower life expectancy. Seems like that would radically skew the data?
Younger in South Africa, with 1 in 4 HIV positive. A bit of a difference...
this has probably been going around a lot longer than we think, has genomic sequencing been widespread?
In many countries it is. The US is a laggard but Israel, the Netherlands, Denmark, the UK and many others are doing a exemplary job.
Not in AMERICA
Most people just get tested for covid in U.S. hardly any checking for what variant..
@@gregkramer5588 so what about South Africa? Roughly what percentage of test samples are sequenced?
We need to stop thinking of it as a mutation and rather think of it as evolution, which is a survival mechanism, viruses evolve in order to survive.

Exactly.
Flu is back and circulating.
Most likely it the flu repackage lmao
I think I had the flu recently.it wasn't covid
I love, love, love that you're straightforward! Thank you!
So what exactly is the test that differentiates between the standard covid vs delta vs omicron vs.... variants?
A few weeks ago, some one I know in UK, had symptoms of aches and pains, headache, cough and extreme tiredness. But not the usual mix of covid symptoms. The Covid tests the person had ( lateral flow and PCR) were all negative, for maybe a week or so before a PCR test was positive. This was all a few weeks before omicron variant (which seems to have similar symptoms to my friend) was reported in South. Africa.
Maybe people getting the new variant don't know that have, or have had Covid, as the symptoms are a bit different to the classic one. My friend did not think they had Covid and only got tested because they need to for work requiememts.
Always extremely grateful to you Dr J for these daily doses.
no pun intended
@@inaisese6725 I think Jen wants a dose of the j man 🤣
I'm asking out of sincere curiousity, how are O cases separated from other kinds of cases? What kind of testing reveals it or is some further lab investigation required to figure the variant out?
Genomic sequencing only so it seems
Genomic sequencing. They read every letter of the RNA. It's slow and expensive, so not the ideal solution. Hopefully they will have PCR tests for it soon.
They're probably busy designing specific Omicron-related primer sets for the PCR reactions

He's a NURSE.
DR Campbell uploads more virus updates than CNN and BBC combined
@@jasminealixandranorth he is clearly wearing a shirt ...not blouse
Yes. He is 1000% super legitzzz
I do worry when scientists go looking for a result they want as they invariably find that result. That was certainly my experience of twenty years working in research and Pharma. The risk is still being exaggerated as it has been from day one. Please could NHS leaders please campaign as vigorously for an increase in our medical services; structure and staffing as two years on we still unbelievable hear the cry our NHS is going to be overwhelmed.
THEY ARE ALL WORK SHY AND SKIVING. CUT THE BUDGET BY 50%. SLASH SALARIES OF 250000 OF DOCTOR BY 60% AND ONLY PAY PER PATIENT TREATED. GET RID OF 90% MANAGERS
Agreed, two years and billions spent and the NHS has not been upgraded to deal with this. One can only conclude that this is not due to incompetence, but by design.
The scientific method is ideally conducted in such a way that cuts down on bias-- controls, blinds, etc.
@@skabbymuff111 shockingly it’s the most obvious sign that there’s more to this than we know. If the experts really thought this was a serious medical issue that is the first thing that would have been put in place. 😐
Amen , its the excuse for bloody everything ! F#!*ing COVID , NOTHING WORKS PROPERLY BECAUSE OF COVID , NO STAFF , COVID , ETC
Love these shorter editions John - much easier to maintain concentration
Loving Omicron. It’s our way out of this thing.
Nature wins.
If Omicron is mild (let's hope so as I sit tight in Cape Town!), and is beating out Delta, might it be better to get Omicron than Delta... it would be interesting if Omicron presents with milder symptoms and provides protection against Delta which has worse level of severity...speculation I know but is this a possibility?
Yes it is a possibility and probably likely. As long as Omicron doesn't have a bad mutation that makes it more dangerous.
A lot of Whistleblowers in Africa are saying this is a nothingburger, just like with detla in india. PRopaganda and fear.
There is, under normal circumstances, a certain amount of evolutionary pressure to make diseases more infectious including by making them less lethal. (You can't pass on a virus if you're dead! Except for Ebola.) That said, information is still lacking with Omicron.
But yes, IF it is more mild, it would be better to get that rather than Delta. It MIGHT provide some protection against other variants (or not).
So far, the only information that we have is that it's mild (so far) in the vaccinated. (AKA, the vaccines are working, so far.)
I hope so . I want to come to Cape Town again soon .
It doesn't exist beautiful lady...don't worry and live happy 💙x
WHO still blaming mutants on the unvaccinated...they are losing their last shred of appearing trustworthy.
Do you not realise these mutations are occurring in 3rd world countries like India and Africa where vaccination rates is low and population are large, general health systems extremely poor. Wake up, this has how all virus has mutated since humans were aware, common sense.
@@sneakyfoz3692 So many mutations, they ( ppl like Robert Malone) do not even push aside the option it might be fabricated.

Glad I found this channel! This is how medical reports should be shared all over the world clear, concise, and not corrupt! (Or politically motivated!) this would make a good channel name!
I'm loving the shorter segments!
Thanks for the very clear update John 😇👍
I really like how balanced this guy is
Thank you John! Much appreciate your valuable service to the people sir!
John quoted that omicron in South Africa 'has gone from nothing to 74% in a few weeks' and that the varient has become dominant in less than 4 weeks. Yet, earlier on he says 'we are just getting up to the 2 week mark to see serious illness start to present'. So we have already gone past the 2 week mark and so far, we have had nobody seriously ill.
The first case in the US was "fully vaccinated"....also..."nearly all cases are mild". So what good is the vax doing at all?
Ramp up fear.....Vaccine/health passport....central bank digital currency....carbon quotas...social credit system
So glad we have you to watch!
People take a deep breath and chill the fuck out. Get back to your lives!! there will always be risks in this world
It's a little off topic for this particular vid but I am really concerned about the development of or worsening of autoimmune conditions following vaccinations. Most healthy individuals won't have had any blood tests pre or post jabs so won't have a clue if there have been any changes in their health. It will only come to light if they start to get symptoms in the future. Both my partner and I have had changes in thyroid function post jabs and my brother has developed an autoimmune skin condition related to thyroid disease. Feels like too much of a coincidence to me!
History will ultimately show that these so-called vaccines were vastly more dangerous (by orders of magnitude) to individuals-healthy or otherwise-than the disease they were supposedly designed to ‘inoculate’ them against.
I’m not saying that to question or trivialize the significance of COVID; but rather to highlight the scale of the crisis our own arrogant/rapacious interventions unleashed.
@jayandess thanks for bringing this up. What to look and what to ignore is not a mistake, it is by design I'm afraid. Take care of your health. My heart is with you and your family.
I have auto immune issues that i fear far more than covid. There is very little data. Just the usual "you'll be ok". It is because of situation lile this im not taking the vac. Also had covid in Aug do not see any point taking it. Hope u are all ok, take care
Covid infections are associated with autoimmune conditions at a far greater level though. Novel infectious agents literally shift how a person's entire immune system functions-- it's a mess. It may even (we do not know yet) shift how many people respond to infectious illnesses they've already had in the past when they encounter them again.
It’s not a coincidence. Imagine how it is affecting children’s immune system, it’s a disgrace that this has been allowed to happen.
What if people in S. Africa aren't getting sick because they've survived Alpha, Beta & Delta and their immune systems are well primed? What if this variant is worse for those who have never contracted Corona? I guess time will tell.
A lot of Whistleblowers in Africa are saying this is a nothingburger, just like with detla in india. PRopaganda and fear.
Thats what I think. The rest of the world are weakening their immune systems. Only 24% of South Africans have chosen to be vaccinated so far and there's no shortage and they're free. Mandating it won't work here. They're trying but most South Africans work informally so there's no one that will enforce it.
Omicron is their excuse to keep jabbing people. They're chasing a deadline or something.
Spot on!
@@bladezx4880 You can look at it that way definitely but I really think they don't know WTF to do and like children in fear they just run with the belief a pill fixes all.
Dr. Campbell, could you explain how they are testing for delta and omicron? I looked and no tests I can buy or get say for delta or omicron? Are all covid tests now automatically including testing for delta and omicron. How fast can millions of tests be made to include the new type of covid?
I appreciate this so much! We're being updated consistently, we're learning about these things and above all that we're given hope. Thank you Dr.! ❤️🙏
Eagerly waiting for your video more than WHO briefing ❤❤👍
Thank you Dr Campbell for another very informative video.
Is it safe to mix vaccines
I mentioned the San Francisco Omicron case in the comments on Daryl's interview from SA before I saw this video. I see that, as always, you're right on top of things. Thanks for the additional information. Let's hope the O symptoms continue to stay mild.
A case was reported earlier today in Minnesota, so it's fair to say that the spread is on its way
Patrick valance with all his pharmaceutical shares calling for vaccines. Imagine my shock
Although already vaccinated I will deny further vaccinations if it becomes mandatory in my country.
Agree
You'll take it if your means of earning a living is taken away from you, which is being done here in Canada. No vaccine, no money...and you're ineligible for unemployment insurance. I suppose you can always apply for welfare though. That'll get you about 500.00 per month, lol.
Thank you for your efforts.... 🙏
Thank you once again Dr John Campbell. Much appreciated.
Thanks Dr Campbell much appreciated 👍
An article from the SCMP from 4th of July reported a covid variant in an HIV infected patient with 32 mutations, the patient had covid for 216 days or so. The numbers of mutations on that virus seems awfully similar to those of the omicron variant. The article brought forward the theory of hiv patients as potential sources of novel mutations. Have you seen it?
I heard about this, this morning. A teacher (of Thai nationality) had said that it was mentioned already in Thai national news as he shared the information to our students this morning...
probably cooked up in a chinese lab

We shouldn't forget who unleashed this on the world.
Thanks Dr J for being so timely.
How can I donate something to you?
Have a look at the dec issue of the lancet, there’s some interesting info on the effectiveness of the vacs and infection numbers.
I believe they updated it from 70 to 130 studies if memory serves
Could you please share a link?
Thank you for these updates
The Lancet (UK Medical Journal) has preliminarily established that variants are developed in the upper respiratory tract of VACCINATED patients, vaxed people are responsible for all the variants coming about.
I would be grateful if you can provide the data source.
Me too
There are other cases in Minnesota and Colorado. The Minnesota case was at an Anime Convention in NYC and never traveled to SA. Not quite sure about the Colorado case.
