In response to David Slesinger: When you tell people they should check out the podcasts by John Campbell, you should also (1) mention the fact that he has been accused of making egregious errors in logic — which some consider dishonest manipulations of data — and (2) you should rebut each point with documented fact. (One source exposing him is Full Fact dot org.)
Regarding your acceptance of claims of “millions of excess deaths from the COVID vax,” you give no source for this fantastic assertion. But you need to know that many rather trashy pseudoscientic sources – in sensational headlines — have abused the data in the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) data bank. That organization explains “It is important to note that for any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established… VAERS collects data on any adverse event following vaccination, be it coincidental or truly caused by a vaccine.” Later, the causes of the events are studied and documented.
Thanks for the civil dialog. VAERS shows 7% adverse effect rate, That's shockingly high. Campbell's data comes from Our World In Data. That's his source for the excess deaths. Campbell is notably demure since he supported the COVID vax for a good while. He just asks why the governments and the legacy press do not cover the issue? Do you deny the vax boosted cases of myocarditis? Does it bother you that the US and New Zealand are the only nations that allow pharmaceutical advertising on TV. Please refute that is you can. Here is data comparing various medications used against COVID-19. https://c19early.org/ IMHO the greatest lie associated with the pandemic was the claim that IVN and HCQ were not effective. Gates and Fauci actually arranged a 9 nation study of HCQ and on purpose administered lethal doses so 25% of subjects died. If you want documentation, check out any book written by RFK Jr. He has 2000 footnotes in his Fauci book. Why hasn't he ever been sued?
That figure is meaningless unless we know WHICH adverse effects. The vast majority seem to be sore arms. Why do you omit significant specifics?
Why do you omit what VAERS itself says about their data, which I reported earlier? “For any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established… VAERS collects data on ANY adverse event following vaccination, be it COINCIDENTAL or truly caused by a vaccine.” Later, the ACTUAL causes of the events are studied and documented.
(2) You say John Campbell “just asks why the governments and the legacy press do not cover the issue.” Of course all of these issues are covered but, by claiming they are not, he may be trying to discourage you from doing your own research, something you should try doing. Check out these wiki claims:
The BBC Radio 4 program More or Less debunked Campbell’s video in which he wrongly claimed that excess deaths were higher among those who had had a Covid vaccine – versus those who did not. The figures he used showed the OPPOSITE. Campbell took down his video after being contacted by the program, and gave the lame excuse that he was not a statistician.
Campbell falsely claimed that a study published by New England Journal of Medicine showed the risk to children for getting seriously ill from the Covid vaccine was much greater than the risk from Covid itself But, again, the study showed the OPPOSITE.
Here’s a stark example of how deceptive Campbell is: In October 2022, Campbell shared a scandalous "revelation" that the Pfizer Covid vaccine did not prevent viral transmission — which, he claimed, Pfizer had “hidden” from the public.
Well, it was not hidden: Pfizer had openly publicized the fact that its ability to prevent transmission was yet unknown. And Campbell knew that. We know he knew it, because, in May 2021, before he became anti vax, he himself had mentioned Pfizer’s own description of the drug’s known limitations.
There’s more, much more. Especially on Campbell’s atrociously deceptive reports on ivermectin and HCQ but space doesn’t permit adequate treatment of all this.
(3) “Do you deny the vax boosted cases of myocarditis?” So many studies suggest otherwise. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a retrospective study in October 2021 of myocarditis cases within the US Military Health System that had occurred between January 1 and April 30, 2021. Out of 2.8 MILLION doses administered, just 23 patients, all male, reacted adversely, and all had recovered at the time of the report. And for details on Bobby Kennedy’s misleading claims on this issue, please see "More Indications RFK Jr.’s Anti-Vaccine Claims Have Little Basis" - WhoWhatWhy
(4) “Does it bother you that the US and New Zealand are the only nations that allow pharmaceutical advertising on TV. Please refute that if you can.” I know nothing about it, so I do not refute it.
(5) “Here is data comparing various medications used against COVID-19. https://c19early.org/ “ I would never use such a non-transparent site.
(6) “IMHO the greatest lie associated with the pandemic was the claim that IVN and HCQ were not effective.” Obviously you have not studied legitimate sources.
(7) “Gates and Fauci actually arranged a 9 nation study of HCQ and on purpose administered lethal doses so 25% of subjects died. If you want documentation, check out any book written by RFK Jr. He has 2000 footnotes in his Fauci book.” Have you actually checked Kennedy’s references? They rarely back up what he peddles.
(8) “Why hasn't he ever been sued?” My guess is that it would be too time-consuming. Kennedy is a very tricky, very litigious lawyer, and knows how to drag out a trial forever.
Totally agree with you Russ. Besides….RFK JR was launched as a “coproduction” by Roger Stone and Steve Bannon , Trojan Horse strategy …..to get Orange Mussolini re-elected . It’s a total scam. RFK jr should drop out but his giant ego won’t allow it.
Nothing good to say about him. In high school he wanted my future Jamaican American sister in law to take him to Harlem to buy his drugs. Other than advocating cleaning up the Hudson River his adult life was about self promoting. Hopefully voters won’t be fooled
Nice piece, Russ. I think he will hurt Trump more than Biden because as you say, he draws from the same base of disaffected people who lean toward believing conspiracy theories and against the powers that be.
You spewed total bs he is the most honest person I’ve seen run for president and I will 🙏 he will. I have no one else to vote for, to vote for either one, Biden or Trump is like slitting my throat. I’m 🙏 to God for the sake of my grandchildren.
You're doing a good job. Sorry I don't have time for your quite reasonable research challenges. I leave you with this, are you troubled that only the US and New Zealand allow pharmaceutical advertisements on TV?
Had to pick up a housemate from his job, so I will continue. Did you know the number of deaths from the COVID-19 vax is grater than all the vaccine deaths in US history? That's also true in the UK and Australia.
Let me address Nicole Shanahan.
This might not be true of you, but often men with grey hair have a hard time taking seriously women public figures young enough to be their daughter who are also cute. What impressed me the most about Shanahan is she proposed pulling together AI experts to analyze data from around the world to evaluate regular vaccines as well as mRNA vaccines. Bobby has said he won't deny the public the right to choose to receive a vaccine, but he wants to do proper scientific evaluation of each one. Nicole has the ability to do that. I'm sure you realize that vaccines have side effects which require analysis. Had to pick up a housemate from his job, so I will continue. Did you know the number of deaths from the COVID-19 vax is grater than all the vaccine deaths in US history? That's also true in the UK and Australia.
I am a longtime admirer of yours. I'm also a strong supporter of Bobby. You neglected to admit that most of his ballot signatures are acquired by volunteers. That was certainly true in my state of NC. I'm glad they are paying for signatures in some states. The only thing you mentioned that concerned me is the American Independent Party in Cal. I knew you were capable of some useful research.
I am the rare volunteer activist who is both a health freedom activist and a the first American to serve a sentence for a climate crisis civil disobedience. Witness www.suppresedMITalums.com AND https://www.facebook.com/GandhianResistance/ Does it not bother you that the US is the only nation besides New Zealand which allows TV advertising by pharmaceutical companies? Does it not bother you that the Biden White House got social media to deplatform Bobby 37 hours after Biden took office? I urge you to read his 42pp " Letter to the Liberals". What has upset me the most about the pandemic is its almost impossible to find a progressive who will have a civil dialog about the science.
Check out podcasts by British Prof Emeritus of Nursing Dr. (PhD) John Campbell. He posts daily and has over 3 million followers. He originally was in favor of the COVID vax and focused on evidence that Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were healing people of COVID. He's now beside himself that no press or government with examine the millions of excess deaths from the COVID vax.
My uncle had been exec sec'y of the ADA in 1960, but I consider the Democratic Party to have joined the GOP as a fascist party. Big Pharma and the military Industrial complex control the DNC. Trump dishonestly claimed he would drain the swamp in 2016, but he's too ignorant to know how. Bobby is the foremost environmental activist in US history and does know how to protect public health and the environment. Why hasn't anyone sued Bobby for the highly footnoted books he has written about the pandemic?
The DNC cares nothing for the middle class. Bobby does. why not review what he says he will do? Do you doubt the polls that say those under 45 support Bobby over Trump and Biden? They watch podcasts. Boomers like me watch TV news and read the NYT and WAPO. R U a fan of the NYT and WAPO?
Does it bother you that the WHO ( under the thumb of Bill Gates) intends to be able to order countries to lock down after their treaty is approved? The WHO would end freedom of speech and the right of physicians to decide what to give patients. They'd mandate vaccine passports and vaccine mandates.
Since they won't allow Bobby secret service protection, I don't believe Biden is even making the decisions. I believe Obama and Hillary are calling the shots. That's a worthy matter for you to look intro. Bobby said his siblings who showed up for the photo with Biden asked Biden to give Bobby secret service protection.

Do a background check on him. His own family doesn't support him. They know he's not qualified
