It’s a crazy world. Be sure to make mention of it when you’re there getting an X-ray with your shoes off.

Follow the science right?

(I'm being facetious and don't think we should actually do that, but any remaining restrictions are preposterous from my perspective).
Your conclusions are preposterous. anything that reduces spread will reduce the chance of variants.

You definitely want to be vaccinated and wearing an N95 around all those people with their shoes off.

I am aware I do have a bias against servers though - the food industry as a whole is a massive black hole of unpaid taxes between servers not claiming their tips as incomes to business using zapping technology to reduce sales tax remittances.

I stand by 10% as reasonable now given the rise in wages.
Yep I was certainly on team tip less, I think I said 12% was simialrnto 15 with an 8% tip out and a wide variety of assumptions. Depends on the restaurant for how much tip out is.

Not a medical doctor, not someone that has a history of providing factual and scientific response/opinions on COVID 19.

Not someone that should get any air time on this topic.

I am curious to see how many of these adverse effects were actually related to the vaccine. “Don’t worry, that side effect you are experiencing is just a coincidence. Nothing to see here.”

Just look at Vares for a very similar dataset to cherry pick.

I am happy for the ruling though, data should be public.

Agreed, the data should be openly available.

I'm not even surprised by their crackpot theories any more.

He misunderstood the data & has already apologized and admitted he had it wrong.

Starts at 3:55 into his latest video. "It was poorly phrased" and he didn't understand what he was reading.



It's clear he didn't understand it and he continues to put his biased opinion on this by saying doctors & nurses he knows don't know what it means either. I'm sorry but his anecdotes are meaningless and irresponsible. He suggests that if he doesn't know how to report issues then doctors and nurses won't either. Problem is, he doesn't know this to be true, he's just trying to deflect, which is pathetic.

He's not a medical doctor. At the beginning of this it was fine for him to go over numbers, but he's gone way beyond his scope, making assumptions and statements that are simply incorrect.

He stated several times during that original video that the data is complicated even for him, that's obvious.

He also claimed Japan was prescribing ivermectin when they weren't because he confused an official from a private healthcare company with a government official. The guy has lost it.

Just for context, the Gardisil (HPV vaccine) package insert lists motor vehicle accidents and gunshot wounds as fatal adverse events from their trials. To make a long story short, they include everything that happens to anyone who was vaccinated in these adverse event lists. Only when the rate of adverse events exceed the background rates does it become a safety signal.

Like many others, I think John Campbell has found that it can be very profitable to tell anxious antivaxxers what they want to hear, and his subjects and arguments have been tailored accordingly. Even if accuracy is a casualty.

Medical doctors, unless they are also involved in research, are not qualified to interpret research. That's not what they do. Someone with a PhD would be much better off interpreting research, than the average medical doctor, who is a practitioner, not a researcher.

John Campbell has a PhD in nurse education. Part of his job is to interpret research and then teach it to nurses. He would also be involved in creating scientific literature, so would have far more experience interpreting research than a medical doctor. You would not trust a practitioner with interpreting scientific data or coming up with policy. That's not what they do. Practitioners are limited to applying approved medical treatments.

And the morons just lap it up like eager puppies and spread it around like it's gospel when all it is is dangerous misinformation and conpletely irresponsible.

Idiots.

Just love how ####ing smug they are about it too. Like they're smarter than everyone else when in reality they are just gullible morons.

^^^ who knows what will happen with that - but I do think this is a reason to be cautious about the language used when pulling restrictions. There's always a chance you have to bring things back and if you're parading around that this is over every time the cases/hospitalizations dip - you end up angering people if things turn again.
