This meme might require some footnoting…that is, if you don’t know what the heck I’m on about.
First of all, there’s the ‘more cowbell’ reference from the ageless Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell.
And then there’s Dr. John Campbell, PhD, whose Youtube videos have been seen by hundreds of millions of viewers.
At the outset of the Covid pandemic, I came across medical videos by a calmy spoken retired nurse educator from the UK. There was nothing flashy about his presentations. In a Cumbrian accent, Dr. Campbell read from printouts and ticked off items with a pen as he went along.
His videos weren’t soporofic because Campbell was honestly trying to examine and explain the pandemic for a growing global audience. He trusted the public health authorities and believed the mainstream narrative. At the time, he had no reason not to.
Although he always used carefully measured words, Campbell became more dismayed and disturbed over time by the disconnect between publicly available data and the pharmaceutical PR parroted by media outlets. Recently, he received a warning that he was in violation of YouTube’s community guidelines. So now, in a effort to keep his channel from being banned, Campbell employs dryer-than-dry British wit as he dutifully distances his own opinions from the scientific information he is sharing. He is becoming that rarest of birds - a scientific wit.
One comment below a most recent video sums up why Campbell has 2.4 million followers on YouTube.
The reason I trust this man: he was completely trusting of mainstream medical establishment and yet, in the face of conflicting data, was willing to question his beliefs and research further. Not only question and revise his own opinion but to do so publicly inspires trust…Thank you, Dr. Campbell.
Here’s an Oct. 12 video in which Campbell comments on a senior representative from Pfizer admitting under oath to the European parliament that their COVID vaccines were never tested for preventing viral transmission before a public rollout. Repeat, never tested for viral transmission. A story that in itself deserves - but won’t get - global headlines from the legacy press.
The UK’s Dr. Campbell is both a national treasure and global resource.
She blindsided me with “the speed of science”

I got a bit frustrated with him because it was clear to me months ago that we were being manipulated and lied to. The video of the Dutch member of EU parliament is a gem, it was picked up by all 'alternative media ' but not, alas by the CBC nor even the Spectator ...So now what do we do? We cannot trust the elites...and this is all about a massive erosion of trust.
