Campbell enthuses about Richard Feynman in his latest video. He would do well to read this piece.

Cargo Cult Science
by RICHARD P. FEYNMAN
Some remarks on science, pseudoscience, and learning how to not fool yourself. Caltech's 1974 commencement address.

calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm

John Campbell has produced literally hundreds of videos about public health since 1991. I came across him at the beginning of the pandemic and listened to quite a few of them. It was obvious three years ago that, whilst he asked a lot of questions, he was decidedly
reluctant to offer criticism. He was initially a big supporter of the vaccines.

His Youtube channel shows that he has 2.62 million subscribers. From this you would have to deduce that he is probably making a significant income from his work. He would have become aware when he witnessed detractors like Brett Weinstein being de - platformed that he would have to be very circumspect about anything he said about vaccines.

So he pretty much kept his trap shut until the elephant in the room became too big to ignore. We will nowsee the standard reaction to a person who was previously recognised as being an authority having their reputation trashed because they dared question The Science(TM).

I notice he is putting videos up on Rumble now!

Follow the money... Campbell is making a LOT of money.

Which is EXACTLY the point I was making,

Successful YouTubers make an absolute ship load of money I only know this through a friends daughter who made $120k in her first year at university giving skin care advice, Brett Weinstein is a classic example,

Weinstein was de-platformed and lost his income at the drop of a decision to censor him. Among quite a few others. This was common knowledge, John Campbell was aware of this risk which is why he had to choose his words very carefully when discussing Covid,

Which he did for a long time.

Campbell had the option to speak out very early in the play when the vaccine injuries numbers and it's poor performance started to become obvious. He left it until his credibility and his conscience started to suffer. Kudos for doing so but he failed his followers. And probably cost lives through not having spoken up earlier.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why it is that people do not have the ability to figure out that censorship is the antithesis of science. If a theory is robust it should welcome criticism.

F****s sake! The data on the vaccines was not supposed to have been available to the public for 75 years. For any sane individual that should ring alarm bells immediately.

And Macro. that comment about Campbell not paying taxes? That is exceedingly lame. I had a bit of respect for your zany outlook on life and your approach to science. That you should stoop to the level of completely unfounded speculation has confirmed something I had begun to suspect.

You are a fraud.

This is suggestion worth to investigate about cambell.
Person generally untrustworthy in one place may as were in another.
You suggest to investigate vaccines etc but investigating tax returns and public obligation of sister cambell is suddenly forbidden .
Remember that Al Capone was put to prison for tax avoidance not crime committed.
Can you explain why sister Cambell use Dr. ?? Because has Ph.D in arts?
Obviously this could be again highly misleading to public because public reception to Dr. talking about medical stuff is not the sama as Dr cambell in arts of flower bucket making.
Don't you want or interested at all to know the truth about cambell?
Now where you are all going from there?
From antigovernent statements to what riots and public disobedience?
Because of youtuber lies?ps. The point I am making about cambell tax avoidance suspicion is only practical . You could easy eliminate fraudster on administrative basis but not on censoring freedom of speech.
Beside I am getting less and less interested in this matter. You don't want to be misslead by government and approved agencies but you trust first Youtuber. It is your choice, your health at stake.

Pfizer - $100 billion+ sales; has indemnity from prosecution related to emergency use Covid vaccines injuries; has paid the largest criminal and civil fine in pharmaceutical history; wants Covid vaccine clinical study papers hidden for 75 years.

John Campbell - Vaccinated Youtuber who was extremely supportive of Covid vaccination for the 1st year has a change of heart as he delves into research papers that your average local GP doesn't want to know and helps kids in Africa in his spare time.

Macroscience - 'Check Campbell's taxes!!'

Macro Warning!
This trust we still have in our government doing right thing, vaccines a routines like masks and lockdowns is our last hope.
It it like fire alarm drill. Just rehearsal. Preparation for a big one to come soon.
Every country can not afford nuclear science but bio lab can be done I any garage.
With nowadays knowledge and technologies genes could be assembled like Lego brick.
You could design microbe with mechanism of infection of your choice air, water, contact, food etc.
You could design lethality from modest to 100 %.
This is not even conspiracy becousr it is simply matter of progress in sciences and technology.
Hypothetically rogue country that could build now thermonuclear weapons and rocket capable to reach Moon, can setup biolab in no tine at all. Design microb, prepare vaccine, inoculate whole own population and then release microb into wild.
You could substitute NK with any country in the world, even terrorist organisations or even drug lords and Mafia.
Luckily for all we have this first fire drill behind us on very benign microb.
But the next one may not be.
Those youtubers will be first in the quee for mask and vaccines when the real threat arrive.
You could trust me on that one.
And this is not intended as any conspiracy theory, this is simply how this world works.
And trust me sister cambell will not be here for you when Kim Microb arrive.
I don't worry about millions of dollars sister C . gathered on procedure, still nothing in comparison to other legally obtained by tax heavens avoidace schemes.
So If you think that is end of pandemic, read this in 5 years from . The worst is going to come.

Smallpox is good example how scary it could be.
With variola major mortality rate of 30 % you have better chance to survive direct hit by Russian iskander missile inside Abram 1 tank.
But some bugs will offer you 100% or even better.
Btw if somebody is really smart and want to earn money should rather sell personal protection suits instead of stupid books. Even if you are not ever going to use them in the future you may find useful while doing home renovation, painting, asbestos removal .
I bought snake bite kit and I hope never to use it too!

Comparing Smallpox to Covid.

30% of people who got Smallpox died. They were mainly in the age bracket of 1 to 60 years of age. Between 65-80% of survivors were marked with deep pitted scars (pockmarks), most prominent on the face.

0.66% of people under the age of 80 who had Covid died.

SmallPox death rate of 0-20 year olds was 70% in some countries. (eg The Netherlands 1870 to 1875)

Covid death rate of 0-20 year olds was 0.02%. (Smallpox was up to 3,500 times more deadly in this age bracket)

The Smallpox Vaccine had a 95% efficacy rate.

The Covid Vaccine has around a 30% efficacy rate.

Smallpox was eradicated.

Covid vaccine won't eradicate Covid.

The Smallpox vaccine's side effect risk was too high to justify routine vaccination for people at low risk of exposure to the virus.

The original communication was that the Covid vaccine side effect risk was not considered too high for people at low risk of exposure to the virus. This is increasingly being questioned.

1 in a 1000 had a serious side effect to the Smallpox vaccine.

1 in 800 had a serious side effect to the Covid vaccine with increasing evidence of a higher risk.

Smallpox vaccination provides full immunity for 3 to 5 years and decreasing immunity thereafter.

Covid vaccination provides partial immunity for 30 days and decreasing immunity thereafter with constant boosters required.

Pregnant women should not get the Smallpox vaccine because of the risk it poses to the fetus. Women who are breastfeeding should not get the vaccine. And people under 18 years of age and those allergic to the vaccine or any of its components should not receive the vaccine. As a precaution, if you have been diagnosed by a doctor as having a heart condition with or without symptoms you should NOT get the smallpox vaccine at this time.

Multiple Covid vaccinations was recommended to everyone above 5 years of age regardless of health condition.

Me, I would never know that Pfizer wanted vaccine study papers hidden for 75 years. How do you know that? I never saw that in the news anywhere. How do you know?

Well, that one I can have a really good guess at as its pretty obvious...

Someone has sent you that info, and instead of checking on it, you have swallowed it whole as it fits in with what you want to believe. You sucked it down whole without even doing basic fact checks. Why? Why do you do that if you want to see the reality?

Here you go, I can help you out:

www.techarp.com/science/fda-75-years-pfizer-vaccine-data/

and while you are at it look at this link:

news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/why-a-judge-ordered-fda-to-release-covid-19-vaccine-data-pronto

but the gotcha with that last one is its authored by the lawyer that was working on the freedom of information request and not entirely accurate.

I hope that helps you and you now have no need to mistakenly tell people that Pfizer wanted the vaccine study papers hidden for 75 years.

(Oh yeah, its almost a year out of date also!)

Nah, I never saw it. I don't think you would have either and I think it came in your usual feed. The fact that you get onto a youtube video the same day the head nurse posts it? You don't randomly search youtube for new videos everyday do you?

Admit it. Someone fed that info to you.

Then read the link. 'Sketchy as fark'? Right.. I guess your own interpretation of how a site looks overrides logical explanation? I think there is a bit of bias showing its head. Maybe it would be authoritative if it were on gab.com?

P.S. there is absolutely no reference to "75" years or anything in that link, so you just googled it now right?

Mate this Covid topic has been my obsession for the last 18 plus months. I've been driving around Australia for the past 2 years by myself listening to hundreds of podcasts almost exclusively on the topic. Do you really think I didn't hear about the Pfizer paper story when it came out a year or so ago? I've even read a printed copy of the 9 pages of whatever it was of 1000s of adverse reactions earlier in 2022.

I'm honestly surprised you didn't hear about it when I did, you're as obsessed about the topic as me.

Arrgh yep. From the valuable info FN provided I have learnt :

it took the FDA 5.5 months to review the paperwork to approve the vax for use, but going to take them 55 years to review the exact same paperwork for public release of the paperwork.

Yep, clearly issued solved FN, issue solved.

Nope, nothing for anyone to ever question in that. No more to say on the subject, all perfectly sensible.

Smallpox and polio are diseases that thrived in filthy conditions. Filthy conditions is what people had to endure if they lived in cities before technicians and engineers fixed the issue. Needless to say this didn't happen overnight.

I cannot be bothered arguing about what caused small pox, polio and a hoard of other diseases like cholera to disappear. Just makes sense to me that once scientists realised what was causing them and engineers and technicians cleaned up the filth and provided potable water that the diseases would dwindle and eventually disappear. Just like bubonic plague ceased to be a problem when folk stopped sharing their living spaces with rats. The disease still exists, just is not a problem any more.

Here are the comments from the article i posted regarding the doctor from Albany speaking out.

He said he saw many die after the vax and others were maimed.

So much for their 0.006 percent or whatever figure they say for serious reactions.

You are a man true to your convictions Dr Mitchi, I live in Perth too.
And I am watching and praying for my family and friends that were coerced into having this snakebite for employment and thinking they were doing the right thing, God forgive them and all others that have taken it, Please Jesus do not let this Weapon formed against us prosper, was people clean with your precious blood that have had it, and please do not allow it to enter their dna, they are your children, save us Lord Jesus, and bring punishment now on every govt and everyone responsible for administering this knowingly harming others for money or fear. Bring your swift Justice Jesus Amen


Rest in Peace to all those that have been injured and died due to this abominationYvettebianca8


Thank you Dr Mitch & the scorpion media, for speaking up, only wish more doctors were like you, it's absolutely DISGRACEFUL what is happening to people & children with this poison being put in everyone's body's.KarenGN


It has all been intentional- all of the "side affects" were part of the plan to depopulate the planet.HARPAXO


Excellent explanation of why a doctor wouldn't subject his body to medical tyranny and a medical experiment. Worth re-posting to keep the Truth movement activated. Well done, Scorpion Media!Mick1962


Thanks for speaking out Dr Mitch and to Scorpion Media for putting this out there. I'm not a doctor but lost faith in the medical system over a decade ago as it has just become a profit over ethics industry for a long time.BeeW

So, in the end we have come up with '55 years' for the FDA to release information. When in actual fact the FDA stated that with the amount of information requested, no being specific enough, at their normal rate it would take years to deliver. Not Pfizer. And not to obfuscate anything.

When you read the link I posted, it seems that when they (the originators of the court case) actually did narrow the information down to a reasonable amount the FDA provided it in a decent time. It seems that the time taken to filter everything at the level required and for the amount of pages requested, it was a reasonable timeframe. Pure effort, not stalling, not avoiding. Just the amount of effort required when someone requests hundreds of thousands of pages and they need to be processed.

And it was the FDA, not Pfizer.

Your claim of Pfizer not wanting the information released for 75 years is clearly horse pucky. Yet you have stated it without question.

All explainable by reading the logic and actions behind, but it doesn't sound nearly as exciting as making out that Pfizer are clearly hiding something so important that they need to hide it for 75 years!

As the information was provided and we haven't heard anything important from it, it seems it was a non event anyway.

Wow, what a snore, but it sounded good.

Formula nova will you be getting boosted now that you've had covid n apparently recovered??

Well the evidence suggests that having Covid is three times more effective than the shots so I guess that'll be twelve more boosters for FN, we'll spread them over four years to slow the spread.
In all honesty, FN, with how pointless the boosters are now that you've had Covid, and with the risk ratio involved, I really hope it's not an injury that forces you to reconsider the boosters.

Good question.

Is Covid more effective than the vaccine in preventing re-infection. Do you have any pointers to links that I can check out? I am not sure I agree with your assertion (not surpised huh?).

I think I have read quite the opposite with protection against early strains in that the vaccines are more effective against them whereas an infection of Omicron is pretty much not effective against any of the earlier strains. Not that it really matters. Do the earlier strains even exist in the population anymore?

But the 'protection' from covid infection is very minimal. I think the suggestion is that you have protection for 4 weeks after your infection. For some people that might just cover their symptomatic period let alone their long covid experience.

Yes, I have been lucky with pretty much no impact. Whether its the 4 vaccinations or random luck or good genes, who is to know. The one thing it wasn't was me NOT eating KFC

There is a guy that refuses to get vaccinated in our cycling group. I will let you know if he catches it and how he fares.

If I can be serious for a moment, I feel lucky that I have had no 'injury'. Sure I have had a slight reaction where my body felt like it had a cold, but I would consider that a normal reaction to a vaccine and in particular a vaccine for Covid. I doubt I would have a reaction at this point as I don't seem to have an overactive immune system or some predisposition to injury from Covid or the vaccine. If I did from the next one I will be sure to make a last post here to update people.

FN even though we've had our challenges over the past 12 months, let's make peace & find some common ground. You've had your 4 shots & I've had none, but we're the same. We'll both never be fully vaccinated.

I wouldn't worry. There is no anger. There is no outrage. It is just a discussion. I have my point of view, you have yours. If we can have logical discussion, its a bonus.

I don't have much respect for people just posting memes though or links, and not understanding what the links mean. Not you, but PM33/PCdefender seems bad in this respect, and seems to just copy things. Its hard to respect someone's beliefs when its clear they don't even understand them.

It makes me sigh when I am reading things where people compare the currect variant against the original ones and then claim that it was all made up or no worse than a flu. Its their lack of understanding that just makes me despair.

Or when they say a peer reviewed study is too old to be relevant; but then show quotes from Fauci from the same period to prove him wrong. Science updates with new findings, belief systems do not.

"Dr. Matthew Martinez, a sports cardiologist who works with the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and Major League Soccer, told us the list has "absolutely no academic rigor."

"It's just a website that collects events that have happened across the globe," said Martinez, who also serves as director of sports cardiology at Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey. "They mention someone who was suffering from cancer for years and eventually died. People have died from cancer; that has happened before COVID-19. Just because someone dies in 2021 or 2022 doesn't mean that it's COVID-related."

Here's a paper on the subject.
First the conclusion
Here, we examine memory B cell evolution 5 months after vaccination with either Moderna (mRNA-1273) or Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) mRNA vaccines in a cohort of SARS-CoV-2 naive individuals. Between prime and boost, memory B cells produce antibodies that evolve increased neutralizing activity, but there is no further increase in potency or breadth thereafter. Instead, memory B cells that emerge 5 months after vaccination of naive individuals express antibodies that are equivalent to those that dominate the initial response. We conclude that memory antibodies selected over time by natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by vaccination


And the paper
