This question goes out those who took the 2 jabs? Will you you take it to get back to normality? Or are you sick of the government moving the goalposts constantly?
True, but when RTE/Sky discuss Covid with contributors, they clearly state their qualifications, before they speak.
he is not trying to deceive anyone , and if you want him to jump over some hoop where he says he isnt a "real doctor" as the start of every episode Im not sure how that would work, he will frequently tell anicdotes from his working life anyway
This is his About on his channel, couldnt be anymore clearer
"Description
Hello Everyone,
My name is John Campbell and I am a retired Nurse Teacher and A and E nurse based in England. I also do some teaching in Asia and Africa when time permits. These videos are to help students to learn the background to all forms of health care. My PhD focused on the development of open learning resources for nurses nationally and internationally.

So effectively he has no more standing that John from “down the pub”? What’s the point watching the videos?
anyone who starts a sentence with So.... generally follows with something that isnt worth responding too, have a guess yourself?
And yet you responded to it.
I’m guessing that pretty much sums up your contribution to the discussion, a comment on syntax.
He was very good early in the pandemic at distilling the myriad information circulating into a videocast / podcast that lay people could understand. I guess with his academic / medical / teaching background he was good at explaining the tons of 'science' being thrown at us.
And while he is not a medical doctor I doubt if eg a typical retired doctor would have any deeper understanding than he does. I think he went down a rabbit hole with Ivermectin but thats a different thread and some medical doctors went along with him.
Havent watched him for long while now - would be curious what his take on boosters is given he has hundreds of millions of youtube views.
For the most part I agree, the part I would dispute is the depth of understanding comparison made between a Nurse and a Doctor. It is the reason why though nurses may have a wealth of knowledge about medical matters, they are not permitted to pass themselves off as medical Doctors, nor to prescribe treatments nor medications under licence.
As a regurgitator/explainer of information, Dr Campbell has his place, but his credentials do not make him an authority on the information he presents. I do think he does a public service, my earlier posts were in response to Eddie posting “Look at his credentials” as if they added gravitas to his video casts, they really don’t.
Unfortunately it's actually medical doctors (or society) that are miss using the term Doctor or Dr, although this YouTube could be conveniently benefiting from this longstanding miss understanding, in do not know.
I work in the science, engineering industry and we have plenty of Doctors wondering about the place that use their qualification title in most official commications etc.
My first manager in Germany was Dr. Rainer ........., And we always addressed him by this title.
Imagine the going into NASA's offices and giving out to them all for using their Dr titles! (Fair enough, they're not releasing videos on COVID recommendations)
I think in the US the term MD is more common for a medical doctor, maybe it's one thing we should actually carry over from the us.
Having worked in healthcare in the US, Dr is the preferred moniker used by both medical doctors and patients. MD tends to follow the name, not proceed it, of course there will be exceptions. In relation to NASA, I doubt there is any confusion over the Dr titles used considering the setting, but I very much doubt physicists would use their title to lend weight to a discussion on healthcare.
Add in MeHole today saying ye’ll need to be boostered to go to pubs etc.
Fully vaxxed is the new unvaxxed.
I work with someone with a physics PhD who uses Dr professionally but (a) she wouldn't start lecturing people on medical matters she's not qualified in (b) if she did, she would drop the Dr to avoid confusion.
John Campbell is a hokey spoofer.
You will. Once you’re on the train there’s no stopping half way
I would definitely listen far more to a Dr. of Medieval Italian Literature about medical advice re: pandemic than a medical dr 🙄
Well, they can't have you actually listen to what he says..so they just attack him..
It's sad how so many just blindly accept it..
“In June, he tweeted that a study showed that for every three lives the vaccines saved, they caused two deaths”
Thats a doozy, has Ireland lost thousands of its citizens over the last year because they got vaccinated?
Humm…k!
Peer reviewed article published, he tweeted it, article retracted, he deleted tweet. Seems all above board to me.
It was said in the fda hearings that it looked like it was 2 to 1..
Nah.
2 is enough. Taking 3 means you'll take 4, 5, 6... and on and on. Fûck that.
3! Is the magic number! That’s where it ends for me.
Yip, that’s freedom of choice for ya.
But please, stay home if you get sick, and don’t whine when you are denied access or travel based on vaccination status. Its getting old, and no one cares.
Edit: jokes are for knobs, apparently
Honestly, I think there will be such a revolt (for want of a better word) against further boosters that it won’t be mandatory for travel or hospitality.
What looked like 2 to 1?
That the vaccine was killing two people for every person it saved..
This is some doctor with about 6 months data talking to the fda at the hearing about the approval of it, not me..
@PaoloGotti do not post in this thread again
Edit: Lifted
By any chance is this what you are referring to?
If it is, Steve Kirsch, the person who made the claim most certainly is not a medical Doctor.
Do you believe it?
@PaoloGotti threadban lifted following discussion with user
Yes, and it’s needed. Especially in my situation where I’m on immunosuppressive drugs. Only crossing my fingers it works for our cohort at all
So they rejected boosters 16-2?..
