I informed my primary care doctor about your information and she is now joining us in listening to your knowledge and accurate information. You are the best!!!❤️
No one is accurate in the world science. I would say he is sound voice in the midst of politicisation and media tunnel vision in this pandemic. If any swears to be accurate ild be very suspicious of them.
@@tilapiadave3234 I think it is close to 0% agreement in this instance. Have you ever heard a reputable doctor give a positive opinion about the channel operator here? Even Wikipedia has a negative writeup about him. I have no problem finding errors in most of his videos. He doesn't seem to research much of what he says.
@@cloudpoint0 Actually YES I have ,, when receiving my vaccinations i asked for my injections to be aspirated and did mention this channel and it's supporting documents ,, first injection they discussed it and agreed ,, second injection ( different doctor) she stated she ALWAYS aspirates.

I have found this channel excellent but in these last few weeks it seems to be pandering to the Conspiracy cult ,, I don't have the time or skills to double check every piece of information but if in doubt I will seek 3 guides from 3 different doctors and go with that.
Thank you Dr. Campbell for today's update. I appreciate all the work you've put into the keeping information ongoing for the past few years. Please keep sharing. Have a nice late evening 😊
Even one day after severe thunderstorms for 12+ hours washing everything away, everything is back to being coated in yellow pollen less than 24h later... ☹️
I thought I had sinus issues before & when I tested it was Covid. That’s how it happened to me twice out of 3 times for me. The exhaustion is the worse.
Don’t know if you noticed but at 6:05 in the video, ALL the countries with the highest cases are all the ones with the most restrictions which goes to prove that the mandates are all useless.
Got Omicron... been "sick" for two days... (no vaccine here since I see no reason) nothing serious. I got some unknown viruses worst that that. I guess it's time to just be in shape and start talking about general health and not vaccine, med, etc.
Open Letter From Doctors and Health Professionals to All Authorities in Belgium and the Belgian Media "We question the legitimacy of the current advisory experts, who meet behind closed doors. We ask that an independent committee investigate extensively why all freedom-restricting measures are maintained, while the figures and scientific data have meanwhile clearly shown that there is no medical reason to maintain this for one more day. We request an in-depth investigation into the role of WHO and the possible influence of conflicts of interest in this organization. WHO was also at the basis of the systematic censoring of all dissenting opinions in the media. This is unacceptable for a democratic constitutional state"
Just tested positive today, dammit. Managed to get by unscathed these past two years, but my luck ran out. Mild fever, bad headache, and tired. Not that bad, so far. Thanks so much John for posting your videos, been doing vit D every day for two years.
I know 3 people that tested positive in the last 2 weeks. All were symptomatic and two still have lingering fatigue. The numbers are encouraging regarding hospitalizations and deaths for the US but regarding infections or reinfections the numbers are not trustworthy, too many people are testing at home .
Finally feeling like I'm getting past... Something.... After about three weeks of symptoms and fatigue. Didn't bother testing. Lived my life like normal. Same with the rest of a couple more of the family in the household.
@@kumbawolf as you can pass it on whether vaccinated or not. I had symptoms, tested and was positive. My family didn’t get it , tested negative , I was sick for three weeks. Could return to work once negative, day 11 but didn’t fully feel 100% until 21 days.
@@DougieL that is the key. If hospitalizations don’t rise then new cases are extremely mild or infections are just not happening regardless of people are testing at home.
@@rc8929 we will see hospitilisations rise slightly I would imagine? Although, with more people boosted vs durinf the last wave, possibly not? Either way, my fingers are crossed that after this BA2 wave, there is a glimmer of hope of it being driven endemic? Be great for Europe, leading into summer! All the best!
While testing in the US for active covid infections is low, monitoring of wastewater streams shows no increase. That is a much better indication of infections and correlates really well with actual infections. This suggests there is no BA.2 wave happening. At least not yet.
@@louclarcen5690 The right approach would be to not get it ever. Remember this virus was made in a lab. We don’t even know why they made it. They have managed to either infect us either through political policies, that always manage to allow it in, or by forcing us to take a v a. X that has the living virus in it. Either way, they are forcing it into us.
The whole point of testing is to see in real time how the virus is going to potentially evolve in the future. If testing is drastically reduced then we will fall behind in this fight. Testing is to keep tabs on the virus and act accordingly if it's mutating into a more virulent form. No testing or less testing means less data. Less data means late or ineffective response. Leading to collapse of health care system and making virus dominate again.
in the uk intensive care beds have been emptying since nov last year , despite the very large numbers of omicron and now ba 2 cases , yes our hospital numbers went up , but the majority of those numbers were due to people going in with other illness and testing positive for covid while in hospital , only accurate way of measuring is intensive beds , omicron and ba 2 has ended the pandemic
Lived in China the entirety of the pandemic and have been watching Mr. Campbell since March 2020. Love his content and the way he’s straight to the point. Recently moved back to the US from China last month. In China to enter any building, board any flight or even just getting into a taxi you need to show a green QR code proving you haven’t been near any infected areas. People are being woken up in the middle of the night and taken to quarantine because they may have had close contact with a COVID patient.
I currently live in China, and this is only partially true according to what I have experienced. There are many buildings you can get into without a code, it totally depends on who the guard is because some of them don't bother checking. Malls are probably the most consistent ones because now most of them have machines where you scan the QR code. In the entire pandemic since Jan 2020, I can recall only twice where I have had to show a code to get into a taxi. It was by far more the exception than the rule. Probably just a driver who was freaked out and being careful. The way you phrase "People are being woken up" in that whole sentence makes it sound like this is happening all over the country, like people are being dragged out of their houses under gunpoint in some scary totalitarian nightmare. I am in Shenzhen right now which is on the tail end of an outbreak. Not a single person I know or have even heard of has been woken up in the middle of the night and taken to a quarantine center. What happens is that buildings and neighbourhoods are locked down and people need to take daily (and free) COVID tests. Once the situation is under control, that area is not under lockdown any more. So that's just my experience, which I know is just anecdotal.
Jus totally a naked surveillance measure to control and restrict liberal soul under their system. what more could be said about when a tide couldn't be hold back?
Covid Zero will end soon. The problem is that it's not politically popular to admit that so therefore they have to bide time to vaccinate the elderly and come up with a plan to somehow co-exist, Don't expect China to just announce that it's ending the dynamic clearance policy. They will fight tooth and nail to minimise infections but once this thing spirals beyond the control of the authorities then they will rapidly adjust. Signs are there, They're handing out RAT, considering home quarantine and changing the official tone on lockdowns and rejecting citywide lockdowns in favor of "targeted measures". It will be a hard adjustment due to the cultural idea of not taking risks but it's inevitable as BA.2 can no longer be contained in such a vast nation as China.
I like that you've scoured all the available credible data did a comparison and condensed it all down to brass tacks and practical knowledge. Greetings from Florida USA 🇺🇲😎
So first off ... who? Yeah no. Do you really think these "credible" agencies are credible? When of course they keep walking back their numbers and their studies? Two words for you....brain dead.
On day 9 of covid. Hardly testing positive (very faint line) but feeling worse than first 4 days. Headache, poor sleep and tired, general malaise. It's not been like anything I've ever had. I had individual symptoms last week (sneezing, runny nose, dry cough but no headache). Noticed loss of sense of smell yesterday. Here in SE UK lost of cases, all having different experience. I just hope this gives me boost of immunity. Thank you John Campbell for your tireless efforts at keeping us informed.
I live in Western Australia, which recently opened up. Your symptoms sound identical to mine! I had the virus about 3 weeks ago, the headache was the worst thing coupled with a relentless runny or stuffy nose. Sense of smell lost but returned fairly quickly almost overnight. Hang in there, it will dissipate. Milder than flu, but more than "just a cold" reported by some. I'm double vaxxed with the Chinese Sinovac having returned from my job in China late last year. No booster. Intetestingly, family members, with near identical symptoms were double vaxxed with astra and moderna.
What has he got against Chinese covid policy? 25m/1440m locked down for a few days. The chance of you being locked down in China is very low indeed, far less than the UK, hence far cheaper.
I know people who got vacc and they had bad covid. I also know people who didn't and also got it bad. There's also people who got mild cases, vacc and also not. It's just Russian roulette no matter what you do. Vax or no Vax.
Recovering Day 1 absolutely consumed with exhaustion, shivering splitting headache. Day 2 splitting headache shivering. Day 3 headache away muscle pain exhaustion. Day 4 muscle pain full cold. Day 5 full cold . Day 6 today feel okay apart from full cold bit of cough but because of overload of cold. Thank you John for all information much appreciated xx
I am sure I speak for all of your followers, you are our guiding star. Thank you for all your continued hard work. You truly are valued and appreciated
20:35 'So ironically they (China) are at more risk now because they've had less infection in the past' But don't forget they are at risk from Omicron, not Delta or earlier strains, so their risk, in terms of mortality, is greatly reduced compared with say if they had not been successful eliminating/suppressing the earlier strains.
Much more interesting and important at this stage is the data around adverse effects from the shots and revelations about their contents. That said, if the focus is to remain on "Covid," it would at least be nice to see some explicit acknowledgement of the rampant fraud and malpractice that plagued this plandemic. 97% inaccuracy of the PCR misused as a "diagnostic tool" would be a good starting point.
Probably due to the fact it is not true. Anyone that knows anything about diagnostics and molecular biology knows this to be a false story. Look up sensitivity, specificity and limit of detection.
I am just getting over it, tested positive last Wednesday. Started feeling symptoms the day before. Just a little runny nose now. I expect it will be gone tomorrow. For me, no headache, no fever. I had plugged sinuses, some mild fatigue, and a cough. No chest discomfort for me. It felt like an extremely mild cold. I am vaxxed and boosted [AZ, Pfizer, and Moderna]. I am 59, no health concerns. I have been taking Vit D all winter. My wife started getting symptoms two days ago and just tested positive today. It is so far mild for her as well.
That's what happened in the UK. The reported numbers were clearly wrong while the wave was building. It all happened quite quickly, and it's causing more problems than are being disclosed.
@@FranzAntonMesmer The BA.2 wave was in it's infancy at that stage and the testing strategy changed. The numbers were being misreported at the beginning of March. The rapid emergence of BA.2 was hidden behind a steep decline of BA.1 so it looked as though numbers were declining when there was an exponential rise from mid February. The numbers from other surveys show the daily reported infections were underreported at the time, and this was due to lateral flow tests no longer needing a confirmatory PCR. The change in testing strategy was to conceal the growing number of infections so remaining public health measures could be dropped without alarming people. It's worked to a certain extent, although there have been some problems as well.
@@FranzAntonMesmer I may be wrong here but I think it was Oliver Johnson who may have described it as exponential at a point in mid February. He posted it on Twitter. He's quite an experienced statistician, if you're not already familiar with him. As I say, I may be wrong or it may have been someone else who was saying it was an exponential rise. Take a look at Johnson's diagrams as they describe the process that happened.
@@FranzAntonMesmer not to mention taking peoples rights away…. Freezing accounts … list goes on … very unstable times in Canada .. this is no longer the land of the free … God help us
Summer forever yup , he’s not missing an chance to slip in his fear mongering . Remember he is in favor of children getting jabbed . He still works for the NHS .
It's not about a _third_ or _fourth_ - it's having a _recent_ dose that gives protection to vulnerable people. The second dose gives as much protection as you'll ever have, and subsequent boosters just bring it up to a similar level, although some experts have raised concerns about giving people too many doses. Luckily hardly anyone needs it now, but I still meet people who are desperate to get their healthy children injected, completely ignorant of the fact that there are risks.
Yes. I believe it's about "timing" as you pointed out. As for children - well I think they get enough vaccinations when the are young. This virus doesn't seem to impact on them greatly so unnecessary risk when there has been little time to properly guage any possible long term affects for them.
Most of the new vaccines these days are solutions looking for a problem. In my day everyone had chicken pox. Don't know anyone personally who had shingles. Neither are life threatening.
@@saultysault The vaccines do very little to prevent you catching Covid, so unless you quarantine the entire population forever, most people are going to catch omicron, children included.
China is highly vaccinated. This may explain why they have so many asymptomatic cases. Hong Kong is quite different. only 23% of the 60+ years old have been vaccinated. It seems to me that China wants to wait and see how we do before they open up. I am not sure it is a smart move. So far, it does not seem to me that it hurts their economy. The lock down has been done very quickly within a week or two. This is what I have gathered from a few friends (expats) who work there. This is what they call - short pain and long term gain.
Very interesting as usual. But, you never seem to mention the Oxford vaccine that the majority here in UK received. I know you personally had the Pfizer vac so you are more interested in that? But what is the evidence for protection against Omicron for the Oxford? Is it possible that the BA2 in USA does not appear to have grown in the same way as here because almost all had the MRNA vacs? Just a thought!
I’m in the US and know that, of those I know, all people testing are using home tests. Almost no one is afraid of it so many have symptoms but don’t test at all. I think the only good way to know for sure what’s going on is through wastewater testing.
Used to be Department Head at EPA for surface water testing, about 18 water parameters, and challenge that wastewater testing for Covid is notoriously unreliable because the testing protocols are based on a synthetic-postulate 'strand' and it violates several critical general laboratory testing rules, e.g. unreliability of test, no repeatability, no clinical confirmation, varying presence of contaminants, Spring I&I dilution surges,... It's like holding a wet finger in the air to predict hurricanes.
ARE FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES “money”? Is Social Security a TRUST, set up to pay for the “citizen” of America’s debts? Is it more important to teach SEX education to kindergarteners (grooming), or, should our children be taught about “real money” at some point in the PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL (slave training) system. I mean only 12 + years they have your children far longer than you. Why are so many, so ignorant?

Daughter just got back from her ambulance shift in the U.K, out of 12 ambulances queuing 8 had Covid positive patients. She doesn’t think either of her 2 patients she cared for are going to pull through. Both elderly and one with co morbidities, somehow we have to do more to care for our most vulnerable.
I have read so much about the fact there are anti virals and certain medications that can help if caught early, but then I hear of patients not getting anything but panadol and lozengers and told to isolate! It is appalling that doctors are not getting support to help patients and I can't help suspect we are all being hoodwinked to believe there is no cure other than vaccinations which makes no sense at all, and your lovely daughter has this trauma of seeing unnecessary suffering.
@@juliejones8307 GP’s get notification of positive results and we would hope that at risk patients would ping a red flag that they need immediate anti virals etc. Not sure if this actually happens though and it’s entirely dependent on testing the at risk and actually reporting the result!
@@juliejones8307 This is how our healthcare agencies in the US have utterly failed us, and why they are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. There has been ZERO focus on early treatment, when we know who the people at risk are!! And of course, there's the complete lack of guidance or mention about metabolic health and wellness, such as diet, weight loss, exercise, vitamins/supplements etc. We're talking crimes against humanity IMO.
It’s very difficult to tell the difference between severe allergies and omicron. The symptoms feel nearly identical in our experience. Nothing compared to delta. Not even remotely comparable.
Or you just now have immunity from Delta. Most of the weak caught it and died already. Everyone left has some level of immunity. We're 2 (debatable it has been 3) years into this pandemic. If u want to know what I mean look into the frozen sewage from Spain March 2019 showed it was around. Also a mystery respiratory virus outbreak at Greenspring Village & Heatherwood care homes July 2019. Also the vaping pneumonia was obviously COVID. Look into that. All of this centered around Ft. Detrick lab which shut down suddenly a few weeks after the care home outbreaks 1 hr away. Google your heart out. When I post the links, my comment gets denied the ability to post.
@@minageorgieva717 That's quite a remarkable claim. Explain how your immune system gets weaker and weaker after each shot. Remember to cite reliable sources with your explanation.
Doctor John, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW THE AMAZING GRAPH, FROM South Africa, because hardly any deaths, and over 70% not double vaccinated proving natural immunity is working very well.
Do we have figures for vaxxed/unvaxxed? The statement on how effective the vaccine is doesn't really hold up if the unvaxxed aren't getting ill either.
Just fyi Doctor you have been telling us about this right after it was discovered. Our media in the USA for the most part started reporting it last week. Thanks!
@Randy H - Then you haven't been paying attention. The BA.2 variant has been reported in US media since last November, at least, and really started to show up a lot in January of this year.
Dr Campbell, please look for some information about MMS. There are so many people getting better from Covid and Long Term Covid, as well as many others diseases. You have so many contacts, it could benefit so many people. You are doing a terrific work, as always. Hugs from Illinois.
It's interesting how the "experts" are all saying the boosters and vaccinations are responsible for the decreasing hospitalisations and ICU number BUT it would be really interesting to consider the role Omicron has played in this.
Just compare the death rates of delta, pre-omicron with that of the wild type and alpha wave - there you get your effect. Also you can (if your country is collecting these data) check the percentage of unvaccinated on icu compared to vaccination rate in the corresponding age group. They are way overrepresented.
Interim-ID-01 - contact tracing protocol used everywhere *states:* "CSTE will assume all untested contacts are asymptomatic and count as a positive case" ICD10 Code U07.1 (inpatient diagnosis) *states:* Clinical Diagnosis=Diagnostic test _when inconclusive or unavailable_ - U07.2 was combined with this coding and "virus identified" was omitted so the base requirement is to show the most common symptoms of all common illnesses for the hospital to get a monetary reward _(and their policy obviously reflects actions that bring in the most money)_ - so the literal codes and protocols relies on complete assumption and fraud.
A medical error is recorded in the exact opposite fashion, which is fraudulently hidden by another underlying cause that was not the actual COD. However if you're assumed to have coof, then the certificate is counted as coof even if not the COD...
You can't deny the Chinese covid strategy has saved countless lives. Only around 4k deaths during the course of the pandemic, compare that to the 1 million deaths in the United States, it's clearly an overwhelming success in lives saved.
@@milenalm5288 I try not to assume the worst about other countries if at all possible. If you have hard evidence to prove those numbers are not true then I think inventing a number you feel is more accurate is just a non factual bias.
@@milenalm5288 Saved countless lives and saved their economy. Just look at all those products, the PPE, the tests, the medical equipment that they were able to supply the world with, as well as all the other manufactured goods. Their factories are not yet run entirely by robots, so, given that their zero covid policy is for strong lockdowns when Covid rears its ugly head, clearly they've been well on top of Covid to have been able to do all that manufacturing over the last 2 years. China was the world’s only major economy to escape recession during the pandemic. Growth fell to a mere 2.3%, according to the International Monetary Fund. And from there, it bounced back with a fury. In the first half of 2021, it was growing at 12.7% real growth from the year before. You can't say they forced people who had covid to continue working!
John, can you please do a piece on RN Radonda Vaught, and bring light to the effect on pt safety if nurses are charged for med errors? John thankyou for all you do! so much respect 🙏 RN Sarah 🇦🇺
A dataset that I look at is the Tulane Covid dashboard - Tulane has a strong school of public health which has been leading the University's COVID response. They test a random sample of students and employees monday through friday, plus anyone with symptoms or exposure. They run the samples themselves so report results with 24 hours, very close to real time. Last fall they were doing ~300 tests per day with maybe one positive - then in the second half of November they had a huge spike in cases which showed up a couple of weeks later in the public data - I see maybe a very slight uptick in their positivity, but nothing that suggests a major wave is coming soon... If a BA.2 wave hits in the Southern US, I expect to see it their first
Good on Tulane! Very impressive! They do better monitoring than most nations. I used to do bird surveys for the USFS and UH; random samples are the way to go. They are THE way to estimate prevalence.
@Peter Hauge The sun kills a lot of kinds of germs, as long as the sun can get to the types of germs that it's effective against. Unfortunately, viruses are mostly internal, theerefore the sun can't get to them.
Would love to see more info from their studies. Although I think they “require” all students be “vaxed” so guess the data is not helpful for the unvaxed with natural immunity.
How does it make sense, at this point, to suggest that despite the many horrible side effects of these vaccines, that they are safe and/or effective? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
@@Dragonslairminis virtually no side effects?! There has been unprecedented side effects and this in a short time frame. (See the FOIA release of Pfizer clinal trial documents). The industry captured public health system & HHS/pharma funded media has done all possible to sweep it under the rug.
@@Dragonslairminis we have no idea at this point. Doctors, public health officials & politicians want desperately to change the subject. They actively ruined or threatened to ruin ppl’s lives over receiving the mRNA shots. We can’t expect these same people or institutions to admit the medical interventions they mandated aren’t as “safe & effective” as advertised.
I am not sure if you'll see this Mr Campbell, but there has been talk in terms of vaccines that if you've received two jabs of one kind of vaccine, that it's recommended that you get a booster of a different kind. Now I personally would not like to switch vaccines as i only got mine to keep my job. What are the proven benefits of this statement?
John, Can you touch on Ireland? They’re looking to reintroduce restrictions such as the mask mandate. The issue is, they’re stating that the hospital system is under pressure. However most “positive” cases in hospital have no symptoms. In fact the Irish health service has always been weak when it comes to coping with capacity. Basically are there other countries under pressure with an influx of hospitalisations?
If the positive cases in hospital have no symptoms then they're obviously in for something else. Unfortunately people will only see the number of people in hospital 'with' covid and assume that that is what they're in for. The dishonesty in how they report the numbers is sickening.
With all the evidence now about the effectiveness of treatments that have not been allowed why are we not talking more about those instead of the vaccinations?
Can they still claim that it is very effective at reducing severe illness and deaths if the majority of people are vaccinated and there is no trial group?
nosuchthing8 ? According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 53.8 million Americans have received their booster shots. - that’s still a lot !
@@dennispickard7743 thank you for the excellent information. It's not so much out of 330m people though. Remember herd immunity for omicron is over 90% or so.
That’s the best question I’ve read in a long time Sean. When I googled it, it said no such comparative trial had been done. So how the heck can we make all these efficacy deductions? To add to further speculation, the counting and definition of covid hospitalisations has a lot to answer for - if that’s what’s being used to promote the current narrative. I just want the transparent, unvarnished truth - whatever it is.
My Son and Daughter in law live in Shanghai. They are currently locked down and not allowed to leave their apartment. Even to buy food. Neither of them have covid but there has been a reported positive case in their apartment building! So everyone living their is locked down! Crazy really!
Zero-Covid policy, actually the number of Covid-19 positive in China is extremely low compared to other country. Hard lockdown will resulting in zero economy grow, or negative economy grow.
Thanks for the thorough, well presented work. I'm just wondering, how do we know that the vaccines are protecting against severe illness, hospitalisation and death? Could it not be that people have acquired some natural immunity by now, and that is what is protecting. Maybe be it's nothing to do with the vaccines, I wonder?
If omicron is a very mild virus like proven in low vaccinated countries like the original South Africa where it started, how can it be that studies are proving it is the vaccination which protects from serious illness?I am confused
Your catching on, look a little further and these lockdows were to facilitate "A rare window of opertunity has opened up" But thats just consipacy stuff right. I really do hope so
It's not that we don't know about it, some of us have for 2 years. It's just you're not getting that information because if you did you'd realise "living with covid" is dying with covid.
What you now know about the vaccines and covid especially about the Pfizer documents released, and the side effects, would you still happily have the vaccine, and recommend others to have it?
Dr Campbell made a mistake (and admitted it). The medical conditions listed in the Pfizer documents aren't side effects. They are just medical conditions that can appear in any "adverse event" report on any drug and any vaccine. The list just documents the terminology Pfizer is using (which they didn't come up with ... it's an international standard that is used globally). Since the names of medical conditions are different in different places, it's good to use the same classification all over the world.
@@KlausJLinke that was the long list of reactions to look for, but as he pointed out, there were many recorded reactions and deaths which Pfizer tried to hide, which a court order made Pfizer release that information.
@@paulnew8344 They weren't things doctors need to look out for, or have to report. Even the correction was wrong. Pfizer released the data. The court order is for the _raw_ data (55.000 pages each month), which Dr Campbell will have no idea what to do with.
I absolutely agree! It’s disgusting! So appreciate Dr. Campbell for his straight forward approach to keep us all informed! ☺️ it’s nice to feel like someone actually cares about all of us “little guys”!
We should be interested in knowing the number of asymptomatic cases. Similar random testing to China’s in Australia was finding 80-90% of positive cases to be completely asymptomatic or only having extremely mild symptoms…such that they had no reason to believe they needed to be tested. As stats on Hospitalisations, Deaths, and Long COVID incidence are expressed as a percentage of total infections, if the total infections are understated by a factor of ten, then Hospitalisations, Deaths, and Long COVID incidence are being overstated by a factor of ten. This has to impact risk/benefit calculations surely? We really do need to know the TRUE infection rates.
I'd like to know your source regarding random testing in Australia. I have only ever seen one published serological survey and that was in NSW only and was published 6 months ago before omicron.
@@Costa_Conn NSW and Qld Health did these random samples early this year during the BA.1 waves. We really need to be doing larger scale antibody testing to understand this!! Are people being protected by vaccines or in full or part by acquired immunity? Is the disease as dangerous as we are making out? Are our responses commensurate? Are our risk/benefit calculations correct? We simply DON’T know because we don’t have good data…and the sceptic in me wonders whether some people really want to know. Will it spoil the narrative on vaccination?
@@richardhoulton4016 People are protected by both the vaccine and nat immunity, like we are with the flu shot vs having flu before. (Vaccine we 100% know how much dosage received and when and from a government standpoint, when managing millions, it is the initial safe bet.) Agreed that a wider test for antibodies from natural infection would be very interesting to understand, however I can't see that replacing a vaccine for future management once Covid is driven endemic. Will we see a siimliar approach to influenza management moving forward? (Winter shot.) Looking at the 4th Covid booster only being recommended for over 65's here in Oz and for those with existing health conditions; it is looking likely. Omicron, according to a recent Japanese study is 40% more severe than seasonal flu, so a measured shot of the virus (jab form) should hopefully keep the majority safe. All the best!
MHRA approval on 3rd Feb yet the JVCI still yet to recommend it, many people in the UK who can't have the mRNA shots and honestly why on earth would they not rush through Novavax, a relatively safe and extremely effective vaccine is scandalous.
Thank you Dr. Campbell. I agree with you that there will be a BA.2 bump in the US. The problem will be the politics associated with the pandemic here in the US. It is currently a political loser for the current administration and they have made significant changes to reporting that does not make sense. It is like they are trying to make the problem go away...at least until the fall of 2022 before our mid-term elections.
Make the problem go away until September when they will once again institute mass mail out ballots so every fellon, illegal, and unregistered voter and his mother can vote.
Well I first must say your videos have kept me sane throughout this whole ordeal, I unfortunately have tested positive, unvaccinated and have worked this whole pandemic in a long term nursing facility, I can say the test don’t work I have been sick for over a week an just tested positive today… tested every day last week and all negative while being symptomatic! So far just congested and slight cough Bless you and all your hard work you put out to keep us all informed!!
Shanghai only counts people with pneumonia as symptomatic, the rest are all asymptomatic. That’s why the numbers look so odd. Also Chinese people have not been offered any mRNA vaccine. Lastly, the vaccination rate in mainland China is actually very high. According to Shanghai government, as of 3.1.2022, 22.49 million people in Shanghai have been fully vaccinated (~90% of the population) and 11 million boostered.
Yes, the vaccination rate in China is high, but not high among aging population,and there’re possible comorbidity issues if infected. I guess that’s one of the reasons for 0-COVID policy
The one thing that I cannot resolve is - why are there so many infections in highly vaccinated populations? We have never been vaccinated and have no intention of changing that situation. We take a monthly dose of Ivermectin (based on body weight) and it seems to have so far been having a great effect.
Because the vaccination was forumlated from the original virus, and now we have highly mutated viruses which have significant vaccine escape. Proportionally, recent vaccination still provides a significant efficacy in reduction of hospitalization and death versus someone who has never been vaccinated OR infected.
Could you shine light on how they are actually testing for each variant? From my understanding in the US each state is different and variant testing is all over the place
I have been wondering about this since about day 1. More especially now that there are so many AT HOME tests that we chuck in the garbage without any variant analysis.
They say that they send a sample of all positive PCR tests further along for full sequencing. And they also claim to be sequencing the wastewater monitoring samples collected. That's how they claim to have first confirmed the presence of the BA1/2 variants where I live.
There is one test, shows covid, all variants the exact same thing, I read this and it was confirmed by a nurse, there’s no test for each different variation. My husband died 5 mos ago from covid pneumonia
Thank You for your ongoing wealth of information. A family of 5 here is Australia and 4 have tested positive over the past day. Severe headaches, vomiting and fever all round for us...hoping it will pass soon.
When you test positive in the US, they don’t tell you which variant you have. Is it safe to assume you had omicron if it’s been in the past 2 months? If so, does that offer protection from the BA2 and other new variants? For how long? Thank you for all the wonderful information that isn’t sensationalized, dramatized, or with a hidden agenda!!! It is much appreciated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Based on what is the prevalent strain, it's likely that's what you have. You need to have the virus sequenced to find out the actual strain. I don't think they do this for individuals unless absolutely necessary. They take random samples to gauge the prevalence, that's it. If you've had covid since December chances are it's Omicron.
I'm in Illinois and around here Omicron saturated the area in mid December. I'm sure if you've had it in the last 2 months it's safe to say it was Omicron. As far as if you are protected from BA2 if you've had BA1, that is what I'm trying to find out. He hasn't exactly said.
I agree, it is most likely you had Omicron, if you were infected in February or March. It is known that Omicron infection confers strong immunity to earlier variants. We can only guess and hope it will do the same for any future variants that might emerge. It just isn't possible to know for certain. Natural immunity from actual infection so far appears much more durable than vaccine immunity. The vaxxes wane in effectiveness within less than a year, hence the need for boosters beginning last fall, about 9 months after the firat vax doses were given. Also note the discussion of a possible 4th jab... actually a 2nd booster... as little as four months after the 1st booster. This is because it appears the 1st booster wanes in effectiveness even faster than the original two-dose vaccination. Being we are now only 2 years and a couple month into this pandemic, there isn't 100% certainty how long natural immunity will last. But it does appear to be quite a bit more durable than vax immunity. We also know people who natural immunity from other corona viruses in the past have still had some level of resistance 10 years and more later. Being it was now over 100 years ago there are probably few still living, but people who had the flu in the 1918/1919 epidemic still had some immunities to it 70 and 80 years later. We can only hope the same is true of Covid, since it will become endemic, much like our annual flu season and the common cold.
@@choyMM i hope you have had or even catch omicron. Then you will be fully vaxed for future variants.. unlike the vaxed that will keep catching variants... take care omicron is our free harmless vaccine
Gravity is incorrect because we have data. Earth not warming because we have data, we simply do not believe any of it. Vaccines never worked because... Kathy said so. When did people become so bold at making childish comments about things they do not know anything about?
I suspect the US won't have a BA.2 surge because of 3 reasons. 1.) Better Natural immunity then countries who locked down. We are already seeing this in States that locked down for long periods are still having higher than the rest of the US despite those areas being better vaccinated. 2.) Our BA.2 wave came during our BA.1 wave. We are already 40% in BA.2. This peak lowered slower than last years, which tells me that BA.2 peak just happened to hit at the right time. 3.) Not many people panicked here about Omicron, we didn't relock down, allowing for a quick surge that is now ending..
Hearts and prayers to all the people who suffered from, passed away or lost loved ones from the prior covid variants that allowed us to get to BA2. Praying we are moving towards an endemic. Amen.
I agree we pretty much agreed nationwide to let Omicron blaze through and low and behold, it worked, as if the humans natural immune system and the already vaccinated population created a herd immunity ;-)
Dr. Campbell, would you please comment on the recent eliminations of tens of thousands of deaths due to COVID in so many states in the US by the CDC recently? What would you think this would be attributed to? Thank you!
In the USA we have at home kits and we are not required to report infection...Bad Data if no one is reporting. You are probably right and we will see a BA2 increase but no way to verify.
I'm from the States and I don't predict a large increase either. We're like S Africa in that our BA.1 wave came and went before BA.2 and we got a lot of natural immunity. When me and all my friends got covid over the holidays about 1/6th of us were counted. I expect even those projections are underestimates. At least half of everyone I know has gotten omicron or was exposed
Yep. In Virginia, 12 people I have personal connection to , by work or family so very much in same air all the time in some way, all had same symptoms knew for sure it was "the thing" since it was exactly same symptoms of the 1 person of the 12 that got test because of being in health care. 11 others no test but 100% had same thing at same time. But that only 12 that I know, so it could be 48!
Yep. Widespread natural infection. In a way the masks being dropped and nearly normal activity allowed for the infections to spread to more people. So more coverage.
Yes, my family didn't test bc we were sick at the same time as people we were exposed to that had tested positive. My MIL household only one tested out of the three.
A lot of my co-workers had the omicron earlier this year. I've had the Alpha back then when this all started, I don't know if I got the Omicron yet, but I did get some symptoms (sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, a little headache) but all gone within 1 day so I didn't test.
My state (NH) active cases dropped to 4% of peak and has risen to 5% of peak. I associate that to ending all of the mask/social distance/vaccination requirements and more people just out and about. I don't know anyone with COVID currently and only know six people that have had it through the entire pandemic. I'm in a mostly rural state though. Our hospitals have been in good shape for a few weeks. We do have Omicron B 2 but it doesn't seem to be infecting a lot of people. I keep watching the numbers for another wave but haven't seen it so far.
I'm in NH also. We seem to have a small cluster at one of our middle schools. After having zero cases for weeks, they had 7 yesterday. I'm watching the numbers closely as my kiddo attends the school next door.
@@sashadube7624 We have 13 cases in my town of 28,000 but the numbers have remained stable around 10 for several weeks. The numbers plunged and things opened up and they went back up a little but I think that it's reasonable that they bounced. I think that things are still a problem in Massachusetts too. We're at consolidation levels with more and more things opening up around the country so I think that it's really important to watch the numbers in our state and in the country. I definitely see a disconnect between the UK and the US. I know that they're a lot better at testing than we are but our hospital numbers indicate that we aren't seeing a big increase. The WMUR hospital report last night said that there are 36 people in our hospitals with COVID as of yesterday. Only 6 are in the hospital for COVID - the others were there for other reasons and tested positive. My observations on mask wearing is that it's around 5% in the stores. I go to the gym almost every day and the place is packed with people working out and our cases are stable. So, cautious optimism here.
You brought down the walls of Jericho and parted the Red Sea so your people could pass through. You are our Sovereign Lord full of power, wisdom, saving grace and tender mercies. Guide us through these troubled times and beyond. Nothing is impossible for You. Amen

So when the “ lab leak “ came out the first thing China govt would do is find out what this virus 🦠 exactly?? Which leads to why Chins has such severe reaction . What do they know ?
This goes so deep that even looking at it has become difficult. - Hunter Biden introduced Metabiota to Burisma, for a 'science project' involving high biosecurity level labs in Ukraine. - The emails show Hunter helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases Find the article in the Daily Mail.
What the Bidens, Clintons and Obama do should not surprise anyone. However, this came from Wuhan. Sars1 came from China in 2003. There is a New York Times article from 1996 with the headline, new virus in Wuhan China deadly to the elderly. It seems that every few years some new exotic virus has come from China.
@@scottw5315 IT did come from Wuhan. It was (strangely) financed by the US NIAID and NIH. Read this report from 2015, nature magazine. Notice the names "Ralph Baric" and "Shi Zhengli".

@@antoniovillanueva308 There is a picture you may have seen of Obama, Fauci and Melinda Gates in Wuhan 2015. We are in the hands of evil and I have no doubt Obama, Fauci and Gates are ring leaders but there are a whole lot more out there as you know.

I am amazed that you still talk positively about vaccines after your video 2 weeks ago when you had a tough time reading all of Pfizer vaccine's side effects.
He’s only a doctor inside his room doesn’t even take a day off without uploading video about covid he’s obsessed with talking about covid it’s almost like he has to upload a covid video no matter what. He knows as much as the average joe.
Australia - east coast seems to be the same story as you report in the UK. Reported numbers are low - but everyone seems to be getting it. So it would appear that many cases are unreported.
It's been over 2 years now and I'm still unvaccinated and have not contracted COVID of any variant yet ( fingers crossed I don't ). I am much more concerned about my severe allergies that I've suffered my entire life then COVID. If the pandemic is said to be over and it's now an endemic then the worst scenario for me now is that I get an omicron strain of COVID and not the original more severe Delta strain of COVID unless another super strain emerges then vaccination won't save me as the original vaccinations being pushed were only designed to fight Delta not any other strain of COVID and there has not been any new vaccines being developed to fight any new variants or strains of COVID. I find that data is very US centric . In Australia 3rd and 4th booster shots are still being pushed despite the efficacy and protection against Omicron strains failing as cases of Omicron continue to rise but symptoms not severe. Summary I'm going to remain unvaccinated and go about life as normal as possible. My work colleagues who are unvaccinated are not getting COVID - they have only been away from work because they were in close contact with people who have COVID and are vaccinated therefore have to isolate as per health orders. Maybe my overactive immune system (as opposed to a suppressed immune system) which is the cause of my allergies is providing me with natural immunity against COVID who knows? Maybe my cortisones and antihistminesI take to tame my allergies also help who knows.
To answer my own question. I don’t think 2% of the unvaccinated get severe disease so the vaccine provides no better outcome and a more than modicum of risk.
"ceylon" on bit ch ute showed the recent UK Government figures and 80% hospitalised with cov have been jabbed. Only 20% of all patients have not been jabbed but have Tested for positive for cov . Then death rate is 90% of the deaths through cov have been jabbed and only 10% of the dead were non vaccinated. How about Dr John Cambell shows us some Graphs and Explanations for those results ? No, i thought not.
Dr John, I think you should make some comments on the US numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, that they are not separating out of patients with COVID or because of COVID.
It is quite telling the number of people who just want to continue to try to negate the reality that this virus is a big f’n deal, and has been for over two years now. It’s gross
Always great to watch your commentary. My only concern is that it seems that many people who caught BA.1 are now catching, BA.2...even if a mild case. How strong is the natural immunity if people are getting Covid again just a few months later?
If people are getting both variants the question to ask would be- are you vaccinated? Am I wrong in suspecting that those who are unvaccinated and then get Covid seem to be okay bit the vaccinated seem to be gettimg repeated infections, though not necessarily Covid.
@@ashleyhayes7568 yeah, it seems that matters. See the chat with Robert Clancy as to the possible why. I'm watching this play out in my community now. Also clear as the inoculation status of reinfections is not being reported just yet. Recently jabbed kids and boosted people seeming to make up the current wave due to waining antibodies is my take and those getting the reinfection will be a mystery for a couple weeks (but obvious).
Why would you expect a 2nd wave with BA.2 for a country that's just gone through an astonishing BA.1 spike (the US)? Doesn't BA.1 give immunity for BA.2?
Yes from hospitalisations or deaths but not so much from reinfections,a.k.a. "cases" which still fascinates the masses. Who TF cares about "cases" (testing positive)? Not ending in hospital or graveyard is what matters. Fear porn has gotten many people. Just look at all those people stil arguing and being fascinated by such an arbitrary caracteristic as "case".
First off as always a big Thank You for what you do. I have been keeping a daily log of cases from Johns Hopkins and I have noticed they are not updating like they were before which troubles me a bit. I keep track of the area I live in which is the Norfolk Virginia area and surrounding cities on what they call the south side. What I am seeing is a drop but it has reached a point it seems it has flattened out and seems to be steady not high numbers at all. I was looking for it to go up with BA2 but like you said and it does not seem to be happening at all here. I like everyone else will be happy when this is no longer a problem but still makes one wonder why.
I informed my primary care doctor about your information and she is now joining us in listening to your knowledge and accurate information. You are the best!!!❤️
No one is accurate in the world science. I would say he is sound voice in the midst of politicisation and media tunnel vision in this pandemic. If any swears to be accurate ild be very suspicious of them.

The pollen is so bad right now in Louisiana I probably will never know if I have it or had it. My porches are a dusty yellow. Thanks Doc!
It’s just starting in NC now! If you can survive the pollen you can survive COVID.

Agree, keeping a beady eye on the hospitilisation data is perhaps key?

@@DougieL that is the key. If hospitalizations don’t rise then new cases are extremely mild or infections are just not happening regardless of people are testing at home.

While testing in the US for active covid infections is low, monitoring of wastewater streams shows no increase. That is a much better indication of infections and correlates really well with actual infections. This suggests there is no BA.2 wave happening. At least not yet.
Actually as of yesterday there is an uptick in wastewater samples. Many states are leveling off or starting to rise in cases
@@mamabear1135 there’s a rise in France
It’s definitely showing a very steep rise in wastewater.
I am in US and with decreased testing how will we know the extent of any BA2 surge? The attitude here is ignore it and declare victory.
I think that’s the right approach at this point, no?
Exactly.. this is wrong. In the west we have either one extreme or the other, and I’m sure it’s done by design.
@@louclarcen5690 The right approach would be to not get it ever. Remember this virus was made in a lab. We don’t even know why they made it. They have managed to either infect us either through political policies, that always manage to allow it in, or by forcing us to take a v a. X that has the living virus in it. Either way, they are forcing it into us.
The whole point of testing is to see in real time how the virus is going to potentially evolve in the future. If testing is drastically reduced then we will fall behind in this fight. Testing is to keep tabs on the virus and act accordingly if it's mutating into a more virulent form. No testing or less testing means less data. Less data means late or ineffective response. Leading to collapse of health care system and making virus dominate again.
in the uk intensive care beds have been emptying since nov last year , despite the very large numbers of omicron and now ba 2 cases , yes our hospital numbers went up , but the majority of those numbers were due to people going in with other illness and testing positive for covid while in hospital , only accurate way of measuring is intensive beds , omicron and ba 2 has ended the pandemic
Lived in China the entirety of the pandemic and have been watching Mr. Campbell since March 2020. Love his content and the way he’s straight to the point. Recently moved back to the US from China last month. In China to enter any building, board any flight or even just getting into a taxi you need to show a green QR code proving you haven’t been near any infected areas. People are being woken up in the middle of the night and taken to quarantine because they may have had close contact with a COVID patient.
Thanks for sharing.
I currently live in China, and this is only partially true according to what I have experienced.
There are many buildings you can get into without a code, it totally depends on who the guard is because some of them don't bother checking. Malls are probably the most consistent ones because now most of them have machines where you scan the QR code.
In the entire pandemic since Jan 2020, I can recall only twice where I have had to show a code to get into a taxi. It was by far more the exception than the rule. Probably just a driver who was freaked out and being careful.
The way you phrase "People are being woken up" in that whole sentence makes it sound like this is happening all over the country, like people are being dragged out of their houses under gunpoint in some scary totalitarian nightmare. I am in Shenzhen right now which is on the tail end of an outbreak. Not a single person I know or have even heard of has been woken up in the middle of the night and taken to a quarantine center. What happens is that buildings and neighbourhoods are locked down and people need to take daily (and free) COVID tests. Once the situation is under control, that area is not under lockdown any more.
So that's just my experience, which I know is just anecdotal.
Jus totally a naked surveillance measure to control and restrict liberal soul under their system. what more could be said about when a tide couldn't be hold back?
@@YangGuangQing thanks for sharing
Covid Zero will end soon. The problem is that it's not politically popular to admit that so therefore they have to bide time to vaccinate the elderly and come up with a plan to somehow co-exist, Don't expect China to just announce that it's ending the dynamic clearance policy. They will fight tooth and nail to minimise infections but once this thing spirals beyond the control of the authorities then they will rapidly adjust. Signs are there, They're handing out RAT, considering home quarantine and changing the official tone on lockdowns and rejecting citywide lockdowns in favor of "targeted measures". It will be a hard adjustment due to the cultural idea of not taking risks but it's inevitable as BA.2 can no longer be contained in such a vast nation as China.
I like that you've scoured all the available credible data did a comparison and condensed it all down to brass tacks and practical knowledge. Greetings from Florida USA 🇺🇲😎
My entire life I though it was "brass tax" which now in retrospect makes zero sense.

On day 9 of covid. Hardly testing positive (very faint line) but feeling worse than first 4 days. Headache, poor sleep and tired, general malaise. It's not been like anything I've ever had. I had individual symptoms last week (sneezing, runny nose, dry cough but no headache). Noticed loss of sense of smell yesterday. Here in SE UK lost of cases, all having different experience. I just hope this gives me boost of immunity. Thank you John Campbell for your tireless efforts at keeping us informed.
I live in Western Australia, which recently opened up. Your symptoms sound identical to mine! I had the virus about 3 weeks ago, the headache was the worst thing coupled with a relentless runny or stuffy nose. Sense of smell lost but returned fairly quickly almost overnight. Hang in there, it will dissipate. Milder than flu, but more than "just a cold" reported by some. I'm double vaxxed with the Chinese Sinovac having returned from my job in China late last year. No booster. Intetestingly, family members, with near identical symptoms were double vaxxed with astra and moderna.
Thank you so much for all you do for all of us 💖😇🙏

20:35 'So ironically they (China) are at more risk now because they've had less infection in the past' But don't forget they are at risk from Omicron, not Delta or earlier strains, so their risk, in terms of mortality, is greatly reduced compared with say if they had not been successful eliminating/suppressing the earlier strains.
Much more interesting and important at this stage is the data around adverse effects from the shots and revelations about their contents. That said, if the focus is to remain on "Covid," it would at least be nice to see some explicit acknowledgement of the rampant fraud and malpractice that plagued this plandemic. 97% inaccuracy of the PCR misused as a "diagnostic tool" would be a good starting point.
He won't talk about that
Totally agree
Probably due to the fact it is not true. Anyone that knows anything about diagnostics and molecular biology knows this to be a false story. Look up sensitivity, specificity and limit of detection.

@@JeepCherokeeful that's right.
It's not that the testing in Canada is poor, numbers are low due to almost everyone has a rapid test and these positive results are not reported.
That's what happened in the UK. The reported numbers were clearly wrong while the wave was building. It all happened quite quickly, and it's causing more problems than are being disclosed.
@@FranzAntonMesmer The BA.2 wave was in it's infancy at that stage and the testing strategy changed. The numbers were being misreported at the beginning of March. The rapid emergence of BA.2 was hidden behind a steep decline of BA.1 so it looked as though numbers were declining when there was an exponential rise from mid February. The numbers from other surveys show the daily reported infections were underreported at the time, and this was due to lateral flow tests no longer needing a confirmatory PCR. The change in testing strategy was to conceal the growing number of infections so remaining public health measures could be dropped without alarming people. It's worked to a certain extent, although there have been some problems as well.

It's not about a _third_ or _fourth_ - it's having a _recent_ dose that gives protection to vulnerable people.
The second dose gives as much protection as you'll ever have, and subsequent boosters just bring it up to a similar level, although some experts have raised concerns about giving people too many doses.
Luckily hardly anyone needs it now, but I still meet people who are desperate to get their healthy children injected, completely ignorant of the fact that there are risks.
Yes. I believe it's about "timing" as you pointed out. As for children - well I think they get enough vaccinations when the are young. This virus doesn't seem to impact on them greatly so unnecessary risk when there has been little time to properly guage any possible long term affects for them.
Some 'experts' are saying repeated vaccination will compromise t-cell immunity or overload the immune system.
I regularly ask my grandkids what the covid situation is like in their schools and this week both of them said it was good, no-one was off sick.
Most of the new vaccines these days are solutions looking for a problem. In my day everyone had chicken pox. Don't know anyone personally who had shingles. Neither are life threatening.
@@saultysault The vaccines do very little to prevent you catching Covid, so unless you quarantine the entire population forever, most people are going to catch omicron, children included.
China is highly vaccinated. This may explain why they have so many asymptomatic cases. Hong Kong is quite different. only 23% of the 60+ years old have been vaccinated. It seems to me that China wants to wait and see how we do before they open up. I am not sure it is a smart move. So far, it does not seem to me that it hurts their economy. The lock down has been done very quickly within a week or two. This is what I have gathered from a few friends (expats) who work there. This is what they call - short pain and long term gain.
Very interesting as usual. But, you never seem to mention the Oxford vaccine that the majority here in UK received. I know you personally had the Pfizer vac so you are more interested in that? But what is the evidence for protection against Omicron for the Oxford? Is it possible that the BA2 in USA does not appear to have grown in the same way as here because almost all had the MRNA vacs? Just a thought!
no not everbody has taken the vaccine, I sure didn't but since I recovered from omicron about 6 weeks ago, I probably have loads of natural immunity
I’m in the US and know that, of those I know, all people testing are using home tests. Almost no one is afraid of it so many have symptoms but don’t test at all. I think the only good way to know for sure what’s going on is through wastewater testing.
Yes, I'm in Oregon and we are WAY under reporting. People just stay home and get better.
Used to be Department Head at EPA for surface water testing, about 18 water parameters, and challenge that wastewater testing for Covid is notoriously unreliable because the testing protocols are based on a synthetic-postulate 'strand' and it violates several critical general laboratory testing rules, e.g. unreliability of test, no repeatability, no clinical confirmation, varying presence of contaminants, Spring I&I dilution surges,... It's like holding a wet finger in the air to predict hurricanes.

It’s very difficult to tell the difference between severe allergies and omicron. The symptoms feel nearly identical in our experience. Nothing compared to delta. Not even remotely comparable.
Well if you've already had delta you would probably have lesser symtoms surely?
Or you just now have immunity from Delta. Most of the weak caught it and died already. Everyone left has some level of immunity. We're 2 (debatable it has been 3) years into this pandemic.

Dr Campbell, please look for some information about MMS. There are so many people getting better from Covid and Long Term Covid, as well as many others diseases. You have so many contacts, it could benefit so many people. You are doing a terrific work, as always. Hugs from Illinois.
It's interesting how the "experts" are all saying the boosters and vaccinations are responsible for the decreasing hospitalisations and ICU number BUT it would be really interesting to consider the role Omicron has played in this.
All narratives must serve the vaccine.
about 11 months ago John put out the zoe app data, 1 jab 2 jab or no jab, the symptoms were the same, runny nose cough, sneezing
Yes Kereama DOS, it is going to be interesting indeed, considering that most people I know declined the 2nd dose.
Omicron will own the low hospitalizations in the next wave, but it can’t be the immunity driver of its own first wave.
Just compare the death rates of delta, pre-omicron with that of the wild type and alpha wave - there you get your effect.
Also you can (if your country is collecting these data) check the percentage of unvaccinated on icu compared to vaccination rate in the corresponding age group.
They are way overrepresented.
Interim-ID-01
- contact tracing protocol used everywhere *states:*
"CSTE will assume all untested contacts are asymptomatic and count as a positive case"
ICD10 Code U07.1 (inpatient diagnosis) *states:*
Clinical Diagnosis=Diagnostic test _when inconclusive or unavailable_
- U07.2 was combined with this coding and "virus identified" was omitted so the base requirement is to show the most common symptoms of all common illnesses for the hospital to get a monetary reward _(and their policy obviously reflects actions that bring in the most money)_
- so the literal codes and protocols relies on complete assumption and fraud.
A medical error is recorded in the exact opposite fashion, which is fraudulently hidden by another underlying cause that was not the actual COD.
However if you're assumed to have coof, then the certificate is counted as coof even if not the COD...

A dataset that I look at is the Tulane Covid dashboard - Tulane has a strong school of public health which has been leading the University's COVID response. They test a random sample of students and employees monday through friday, plus anyone with symptoms or exposure. They run the samples themselves so report results with 24 hours, very close to real time. Last fall they were doing ~300 tests per day with maybe one positive - then in the second half of November they had a huge spike in cases which showed up a couple of weeks later in the public data - I see maybe a very slight uptick in their positivity, but nothing that suggests a major wave is coming soon... If a BA.2 wave hits in the Southern US, I expect to see it their first
Don’t we normally get the big boost in the summer months? All our waves seem to occur in July and then again in December.
Good on Tulane! Very impressive! They do better monitoring than most nations.
I used to do bird surveys for the USFS and UH; random samples are the way to go. They are THE way to estimate prevalence.

Now I personally would not like to switch vaccines as i only got mine to keep my job. What are the proven benefits of this statement?
John,
Can you touch on Ireland? They’re looking to reintroduce restrictions such as the mask mandate. The issue is, they’re stating that the hospital system is under pressure. However most “positive” cases in hospital have no symptoms. In fact the Irish health service has always been weak when it comes to coping with capacity. Basically are there other countries under pressure with an influx of hospitalisations?
If the positive cases in hospital have no symptoms then they're obviously in for something else. Unfortunately people will only see the number of people in hospital 'with' covid and assume that that is what they're in for. The dishonesty in how they report the numbers is sickening.
All about profit my brother, love from America.

"vaccines remain incredibly effective at preventing severe disease and death, including against both of the sublineages of BA.1 and BA.2"

I don't know where YOU live but in the states triple vaccinated populations are small

That’s the best question I’ve read in a long time Sean. When I googled it, it said no such comparative trial had been done. So how the heck can we make all these efficacy deductions?
To add to further speculation, the counting and definition of covid hospitalisations has a lot to answer for - if that’s what’s being used to promote the current narrative.
I just want the transparent, unvarnished truth - whatever it is.
My Son and Daughter in law live in Shanghai. They are currently locked down and not allowed to leave their apartment. Even to buy food. Neither of them have covid but there has been a reported positive case in their apartment building! So everyone living their is locked down!
Crazy really!
Zero-Covid policy, actually the number of Covid-19 positive in China is extremely low compared to other country. Hard lockdown will resulting in zero economy grow, or negative economy grow.
Thanks for the thorough, well presented work. I'm just wondering, how do we know that the vaccines are protecting against severe illness, hospitalisation and death? Could it not be that people have acquired some natural immunity by now, and that is what is protecting. Maybe be it's nothing to do with the vaccines, I wonder?
If omicron is a very mild virus like proven in low vaccinated countries like the original South Africa where it started, how can it be that studies are proving it is the vaccination which protects from serious illness?I am confused

Dr Campbell made a mistake (and admitted it). The medical conditions listed in the Pfizer documents aren't side effects. They are just medical conditions that can appear in any "adverse event" report on any drug and any vaccine. The list just documents the terminology Pfizer is using (which they didn't come up with ... it's an international standard that is used globally). Since the names of medical conditions are different in different places, it's good to use the same classification all over the world.
@@KlausJLinke that was the long list of reactions to look for, but as he pointed out, there were many recorded reactions and deaths which Pfizer tried to hide, which a court order made Pfizer release that information.

Thank You Dr. Campbell, once more¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Best regards from Mexico
We should be interested in knowing the number of asymptomatic cases. Similar random testing to China’s in Australia was finding 80-90% of positive cases to be completely asymptomatic or only having extremely mild symptoms…such that they had no reason to believe they needed to be tested. As stats on Hospitalisations, Deaths, and Long COVID incidence are expressed as a percentage of total infections, if the total infections are understated by a factor of ten, then Hospitalisations, Deaths, and Long COVID incidence are being overstated by a factor of ten. This has to impact risk/benefit calculations surely? We really do need to know the TRUE infection rates.
I'd like to know your source regarding random testing in Australia. I have only ever seen one published serological survey and that was in NSW only and was published 6 months ago before omicron.
Scientst's know the severity of Omicron = Approx 40% more severe than seasonal flu.
Think we may discover A LOT of those " asymptomatic positives were actually negatives
@@Costa_Conn NSW and Qld Health did these random samples early this year during the BA.1 waves. We really need to be doing larger scale antibody testing to understand this!! Are people being protected by vaccines or in full or part by acquired immunity? Is the disease as dangerous as we are making out? Are our responses commensurate? Are our risk/benefit calculations correct? We simply DON’T know because we don’t have good data…and the sceptic in me wonders whether some people really want to know. Will it spoil the narrative on vaccination?
@@richardhoulton4016 People are protected by both the vaccine and nat immunity, like we are with the flu shot vs having flu before. (Vaccine we 100% know how much dosage received and when and from a government standpoint, when managing millions, it is the initial safe bet.)
Agreed that a wider test for antibodies from natural infection would be very interesting to understand, however I can't see that replacing a vaccine for future management once Covid is driven endemic.
Will we see a siimliar approach to influenza management moving forward? (Winter shot.) Looking at the 4th Covid booster only being recommended for over 65's here in Oz and for those with existing health conditions; it is looking likely.
Omicron, according to a recent Japanese study is 40% more severe than seasonal flu, so a measured shot of the virus (jab form) should hopefully keep the majority safe.
All the best!
Thank you for the update Doc. Can you share your thoughts about the non-mRNA vaccine from Novavax and its effectiveness for BA.1 and BA.2?
MHRA approval on 3rd Feb yet the JVCI still yet to recommend it, many people in the UK who can't have the mRNA shots and honestly why on earth would they not rush through Novavax, a relatively safe and extremely effective vaccine is scandalous.
Yes I'd like to hear this too. Just general feedback/info about Nuvaxovid. Hope Dr Campbell reads our request.
Thank you Dr. Campbell. I agree with you that there will be a BA.2 bump in the US. The problem will be the politics associated with the pandemic here in the US. It is currently a political loser for the current administration and they have made significant changes to reporting that does not make sense. It is like they are trying to make the problem go away...at least until the fall of 2022 before our mid-term elections.
Make the problem go away until September when they will once again institute mass mail out ballots so every fellon, illegal, and unregistered voter and his mother can vote.

How have they changed reporting? You mean because we are now down to levels of early delta wave?

So far just congested and slight cough
Bless you and all your hard work you put out to keep us all informed!!
Once again, thank you Dr. Campbell for your relevant, timely and clear update. God bless you.
Shanghai only counts people with pneumonia as symptomatic, the rest are all asymptomatic. That’s why the numbers look so odd. Also Chinese people have not been offered any mRNA vaccine. Lastly, the vaccination rate in mainland China is actually very high. According to Shanghai government, as of 3.1.2022, 22.49 million people in Shanghai have been fully vaccinated (~90% of the population) and 11 million boostered.
Yes, the vaccination rate in China is high, but not high among aging population,and there’re possible comorbidity issues if infected. I guess that’s one of the reasons for 0-COVID policy
@@whatsoever-2023 no the reason for 0-covid policy is raising prices for western exports
You talk as if mRNA is effective. No mRNA, as for other vaccines, is totally ineffective against contaminations of covid, even with 3 4 shots
Chinese people have not been offered any mRNA vaccine? why not?
@@patriciaw4270 Political reason, the PRC government offer only inactivated vaccines.
The one thing that I cannot resolve is - why are there so many infections in highly vaccinated populations? We have never been vaccinated and have no intention of changing that situation. We take a monthly dose of Ivermectin (based on body weight) and it seems to have so far been having a great effect.
Correct , most hospitalization is the ‘ three dart finish ‘
Because the vaccination was forumlated from the original virus, and now we have highly mutated viruses which have significant vaccine escape. Proportionally, recent vaccination still provides a significant efficacy in reduction of hospitalization and death versus someone who has never been vaccinated OR infected.
I had Delta back in October. I worked around lots of positive omicron cases and never got it fwiw.
Could you shine light on how they are actually testing for each variant? From my understanding in the US each state is different and variant testing is all over the place
I have been wondering about this since about day 1. More especially now that there are so many AT HOME tests that we chuck in the garbage without any variant analysis.
They say that they send a sample of all positive PCR tests further along for full sequencing. And they also claim to be sequencing the wastewater monitoring samples collected. That's how they claim to have first confirmed the presence of the BA1/2 variants where I live.
Yes! I’d love to hear this! I’m in Washington state and I haven’t ever even heard of anyone being tested for a specific variant, just COVID or not.
Omicron is NOT milder unless you have been previously infected or vaccinated.
Omicron is NOT “milder”
ruclips.net/video/92lFo3YMM24/видео.html
There is one test, shows covid, all variants the exact same thing, I read this and it was confirmed by a nurse, there’s no test for each different variation. My husband died 5 mos ago from covid pneumonia
Thank You for your ongoing wealth of information. A family of 5 here is Australia and 4 have tested positive over the past day. Severe headaches, vomiting and fever all round for us...hoping it will pass soon.
When you test positive in the US, they don’t tell you which variant you have. Is it safe to assume you had omicron if it’s been in the past 2 months? If so, does that offer protection from the BA2 and other new variants? For how long? Thank you for all the wonderful information that isn’t sensationalized, dramatized, or with a hidden agenda!!! It is much appreciated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Based on what is the prevalent strain, it's likely that's what you have. You need to have the virus sequenced to find out the actual strain. I don't think they do this for individuals unless absolutely necessary. They take random samples to gauge the prevalence, that's it.
If you've had covid since December chances are it's Omicron.
I'm in Illinois and around here Omicron saturated the area in mid December. I'm sure if you've had it in the last 2 months it's safe to say it was Omicron. As far as if you are protected from BA2 if you've had BA1, that is what I'm trying to find out. He hasn't exactly said.
I agree, it is most likely you had Omicron, if you were infected in February or March.
It is known that Omicron infection confers strong immunity to earlier variants. We can only guess and hope it will do the same for any future variants that might emerge. It just isn't possible to know for certain.
Natural immunity from actual infection so far appears much more durable than vaccine immunity. The vaxxes wane in effectiveness within less than a year, hence the need for boosters beginning last fall, about 9 months after the firat vax doses were given. Also note the discussion of a possible 4th jab... actually a 2nd booster... as little as four months after the 1st booster. This is because it appears the 1st booster wanes in effectiveness even faster than the original two-dose vaccination.
Being we are now only 2 years and a couple month into this pandemic, there isn't 100% certainty how long natural immunity will last. But it does appear to be quite a bit more durable than vax immunity. We also know people who natural immunity from other corona viruses in the past have still had some level of resistance 10 years and more later. Being it was now over 100 years ago there are probably few still living, but people who had the flu in the 1918/1919 epidemic still had some immunities to it 70 and 80 years later. We can only hope the same is true of Covid, since it will become endemic, much like our annual flu season and the common cold.
Yes. By February Delta was less than 1 in 1000 cases in the US.
@@choyMM i hope you have had or even catch omicron. Then you will be fully vaxed for future variants.. unlike the vaxed that will keep catching variants... take care omicron is our free harmless vaccine

@@scottekoontz when did I say vaccines didn’t work
I suspect the US won't have a BA.2 surge because of 3 reasons. 1.) Better Natural immunity then countries who locked down. We are already seeing this in States that locked down for long periods are still having higher than the rest of the US despite those areas being better vaccinated. 2.) Our BA.2 wave came during our BA.1 wave. We are already 40% in BA.2. This peak lowered slower than last years, which tells me that BA.2 peak just happened to hit at the right time. 3.) Not many people panicked here about Omicron, we didn't relock down, allowing for a quick surge that is now ending..
Hearts and prayers to all the people who suffered from, passed away or lost loved ones from the prior covid variants that allowed us to get to BA2. Praying we are moving towards an endemic. Amen.
Because politicians don't dare impose more lockdowns. I hope the mid-terms are a bloodbath for democrats.
I agree we pretty much agreed nationwide to let Omicron blaze through and low and behold, it worked, as if the humans natural immune system and the already vaccinated population created a herd immunity ;-)
*We'll know by Easter*
Dr. Campbell, would you please comment on the recent eliminations of tens of thousands of deaths due to COVID in so many states in the US by the CDC recently? What would you think this would be attributed to? Thank you!
He never responds to comments.
Thank you Dr for all your time and energy spend on informing the public thought out this pandemic.
In the USA we have at home kits and we are not required to report infection...Bad Data if no one is reporting. You are probably right and we will see a BA2 increase but no way to verify.
I so appreciate you!
I'm from the States and I don't predict a large increase either. We're like S Africa in that our BA.1 wave came and went before BA.2 and we got a lot of natural immunity. When me and all my friends got covid over the holidays about 1/6th of us were counted. I expect even those projections are underestimates. At least half of everyone I know has gotten omicron or was exposed
Yep. In Virginia, 12 people I have personal connection to , by work or family so very much in same air all the time in some way, all had same symptoms knew for sure it was "the thing" since it was exactly same symptoms of the 1 person of the 12 that got test because of being in health care. 11 others no test but 100% had same thing at same time. But that only 12 that I know, so it could be 48!
Yeah, over here in Nevada I know a ton of people that had it and didn't get tested.
Yep. Widespread natural infection. In a way the masks being dropped and nearly normal activity allowed for the infections to spread to more people. So more coverage.
Yes, my family didn't test bc we were sick at the same time as people we were exposed to that had tested positive. My MIL household only one tested out of the three.
A lot of my co-workers had the omicron earlier this year. I've had the Alpha back then when this all started, I don't know if I got the Omicron yet, but I did get some symptoms (sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, a little headache) but all gone within 1 day so I didn't test.
My state (NH) active cases dropped to 4% of peak and has risen to 5% of peak. I associate that to ending all of the mask/social distance/vaccination requirements and more people just out and about. I don't know anyone with COVID currently and only know six people that have had it through the entire pandemic. I'm in a mostly rural state though. Our hospitals have been in good shape for a few weeks. We do have Omicron B 2 but it doesn't seem to be infecting a lot of people. I keep watching the numbers for another wave but haven't seen it so far.
SMARTEST THING I’VE READ IN ALL THESE COMMENTS!
I DON’T KNOW!!! BOOM!
1 intelligent mother fucker, and 1000 ARROGANT EGO DRIVEN SCHOLARS OF IDIOCRACY!
I'm in NH also. We seem to have a small cluster at one of our middle schools. After having zero cases for weeks, they had 7 yesterday. I'm watching the numbers closely as my kiddo attends the school next door.
@@sashadube7624 We have 13 cases in my town of 28,000 but the numbers have remained stable around 10 for several weeks. The numbers plunged and things opened up and they went back up a little but I think that it's reasonable that they bounced. I think that things are still a problem in Massachusetts too. We're at consolidation levels with more and more things opening up around the country so I think that it's really important to watch the numbers in our state and in the country. I definitely see a disconnect between the UK and the US. I know that they're a lot better at testing than we are but our hospital numbers indicate that we aren't seeing a big increase. The WMUR hospital report last night said that there are 36 people in our hospitals with COVID as of yesterday. Only 6 are in the hospital for COVID - the others were there for other reasons and tested positive. My observations on mask wearing is that it's around 5% in the stores. I go to the gym almost every day and the place is packed with people working out and our cases are stable. So, cautious optimism here.
@@movdqa we have about 6,500 in my town and 19 cases as of yesterday. The smaller towns are doing much better than ours.
You brought down the walls of Jericho and parted the Red Sea so your people could pass through. You are our Sovereign Lord full of power, wisdom, saving grace and tender mercies. Guide us through these troubled times and beyond. Nothing is impossible for You. Amen
Thank you for your work, Dr Campbell! WE rely on professional people like you to get the information necessary to understand the actual "health crisis" we have been throwed into . THANK YOU !
Need to talk about vaccinated individuals immunities and whats is being found with autopsy
He won't talk about that
What's being found with autopsy?
@My God, it's full of stars there lots of peer reviewed papers you can check out
I live in NYS,cases are climbing up a little bit,I believe we re going to experience another uptick with BA2 this time
Let's hope Kathy Hochul doesn't do anything. I don't think she will because she has a primary coming up and she got booed at MSG
Seems like it, sadly.
Bullshit
I think so too unless we already had B A 2 way ahead of UK. We don’t sequence as much
@@vickyl.3945 you sad fool!!
Vitamin D, zinc and ionophore, eat a reasonably healthy diet, be active.
I agree with you Farmer Smith. Eat well and get your work in.
No, no; just vaccines, vaccines and more vaccines. Vitamins and medicines for disease? That's crazy talk!
@@klondike444 haha I know, I’m just following quackery. We all know science only exists in syringe and pill formats!😁👍
@@farmersmith7057 I was just going along with what you were saying. I have vitamins D3, K2 and C, zinc, an ionophore, melatonin and aspirin. Unfortunately my legs don't work too good, but I'm using an exercise bicycle. Someone in my household was testing positive for a few days, but I seem okay.
Not that I'm against medication, or real vaccines. I take pills every day for heart failure.
@@klondike444 oh I agree with you 100% and it’s heartening to see someone else living a healthy lifestyle. I think sometimes my sarcasm doesn’t translate so well in RUclips comments 😅
There's a HUGE GRAY AREA covering what constitutes "SEVERE" and NON-SEVERE infection.
Thank you Dr. John
So when the “ lab leak “ came out the first thing China govt would do is find out what this virus 🦠 exactly??
Which leads to why Chins has such severe reaction . What do they know ?
Their vaccine is hopeless
@@hmq9052 all the gene therapy drugs are hopeless as a vaccine .....but that was never their aim....
@@grahamatsea3575 How come everyone is walking around as normal with mild infections then?
@@hmq9052 they are in China too.....they're jab is no better or worse than the poison on offer here
@@grahamatsea3575 It's different, you plank. It's non mRNA
This goes so deep that even looking at it has become difficult.
- Hunter Biden introduced Metabiota to Burisma, for a 'science project' involving high biosecurity level labs in Ukraine.
- The emails show Hunter helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases
Find the article in the Daily Mail.
What the Bidens, Clintons and Obama do should not surprise anyone. However, this came from Wuhan. Sars1 came from China in 2003. There is a New York Times article from 1996 with the headline, new virus in Wuhan China deadly to the elderly. It seems that every few years some new exotic virus has come from China.
@@scottw5315 IT did come from Wuhan. It was (strangely) financed by the US NIAID and NIH. Read this report from 2015, nature magazine. Notice the names "Ralph Baric" and "Shi Zhengli". Baric is department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina, Zhengli is the head coronavirus researcher in Wuhan.
A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence
@@scottw5315 Notice this line in the report.
_"Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone. The results indicate that group 2b viruses encoding the SHC014 spike in a wild-type backbone can efficiently use multiple orthologs of the SARS receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells"_
@@antoniovillanueva308 There is a picture you may have seen of Obama, Fauci and Melinda Gates in Wuhan 2015. We are in the hands of evil and I have no doubt Obama, Fauci and Gates are ring leaders but there are a whole lot more out there as you know.
The application itself was submitted by Dr. Peter Daszak of EcoHEalth Alliance. Find the Executive Summary Section II (I show it as page 2).
You will find Professor Baric and Shi Zhengli on that page. Zhengli is specifically referred to as Dr. Shi, Wuhan Institute of Virology.
I am amazed that you still talk positively about vaccines after your video 2 weeks ago when you had a tough time reading all of Pfizer vaccine's side effects.
Me too I'm amazed that he's still pushing it
He’s only a doctor inside his room doesn’t even take a day off without uploading video about covid he’s obsessed with talking about covid it’s almost like he has to upload a covid video no matter what. He knows as much as the average joe.
Its called running with the fox, and hunting with the hounds. And its whats best for john campbells youtube channell income.
Thank you Dr.Campbell for the very informative and helpful updates.
John I read today that New York and California are seeing a great rise in BA.2
Australia - east coast seems to be the same story as you report in the UK. Reported numbers are low - but everyone seems to be getting it. So it would appear that many cases are unreported.
Reported numbers in east coast Australia aren't low at all. Not sure where you are getting your information from.
@@Dragonslairminis yeah 50k cases/ day in a nation the size of Australia does not sound low, especially if you figure most cases are not reported
If the vaccines protect 98% of people from severe disease, what is the percentage of unvaccinated people who get “severe” disease?
According to your number: if 100% of unvaccinated get severe disease, then 2% of vaccinated do. Same ratio: 10% and 0.2%, 1% and 0.02%.
It's been over 2 years now and I'm still unvaccinated and have not contracted COVID of any variant yet ( fingers crossed I don't ). I am much more concerned about my severe allergies that I've suffered my entire life then COVID. If the pandemic is said to be over and it's now an endemic then the worst scenario for me now is that I get an omicron strain of COVID and not the original more severe Delta strain of COVID unless another super strain emerges then vaccination won't save me as the original vaccinations being pushed were only designed to fight Delta not any other strain of COVID and there has not been any new vaccines being developed to fight any new variants or strains of COVID. I find that data is very US centric . In Australia 3rd and 4th booster shots are still being pushed despite the efficacy and protection against Omicron strains failing as cases of Omicron continue to rise but symptoms not severe. Summary I'm going to remain unvaccinated and go about life as normal as possible. My work colleagues who are unvaccinated are not getting COVID - they have only been away from work because they were in close contact with people who have COVID and are vaccinated therefore have to isolate as per health orders. Maybe my overactive immune system (as opposed to a suppressed immune system) which is the cause of my allergies is providing me with natural immunity against COVID who knows? Maybe my cortisones and antihistminesI take to tame my allergies also help who knows.
To answer my own question. I don’t think 2% of the unvaccinated get severe disease so the vaccine provides no better outcome and a more than modicum of risk.
@ Keith W I believe the risk depends on what figures you subscribe to. So much confusion out there
"ceylon" on bit ch ute showed the recent UK Government figures and 80% hospitalised with cov have been jabbed. Only 20% of all patients have not been jabbed but have Tested for positive for cov . Then death rate is 90% of the deaths through cov have been jabbed and only 10% of the dead were non vaccinated. How about Dr John Cambell shows us some Graphs and Explanations for those results ? No, i thought not.
Dr John, I think you should make some comments on the US numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, that they are not separating out of patients with COVID or because of COVID.
It is quite telling the number of people who just want to continue to try to negate the reality that this virus is a big f’n deal, and has been for over two years now. It’s gross
Whether it is because of or with… 1 million people have DIED! And that is A LOT MORE people dying than usual. People like you are sick.
*Your the best Dr John Campbell Listening From Mass USA TYVM 💙 John*
You are such a smart Doctod,,we need more doctors like you.
Always great to watch your commentary. My only concern is that it seems that many people who caught BA.1 are now catching, BA.2...even if a mild case. How strong is the natural immunity if people are getting Covid again just a few months later?
I’m seeing this a lot in previously healthy young people who’ve now had each variant
If people are getting both variants the question to ask would be- are you vaccinated? Am I wrong in suspecting that those who are unvaccinated and then get Covid seem to be okay bit the vaccinated seem to be gettimg repeated infections, though not necessarily Covid.
@@ashleyhayes7568 yeah, it seems that matters. See the chat with Robert Clancy as to the possible why. I'm watching this play out in my community now. Also clear as the inoculation status of reinfections is not being reported just yet. Recently jabbed kids and boosted people seeming to make up the current wave due to waining antibodies is my take and those getting the reinfection will be a mystery for a couple weeks (but obvious).
@CdnEnjoy Life in other words you lose natural immunity if you get B.A.2.
That's why viruses mutate. To avoid any immunity you might have gotten.
@@ashleyhayes7568 check out latest substack from Alex Berenson "we know not what we do"
I see Ireland stats have not been included in your graphs in recent times . Is there a particular reason ? Thank you for your great work,
Why would you expect a 2nd wave with BA.2 for a country that's just gone through an astonishing BA.1 spike (the US)? Doesn't BA.1 give immunity for BA.2?
Yes from hospitalisations or deaths but not so much from reinfections,a.k.a. "cases" which still fascinates the masses. Who TF cares about "cases" (testing positive)? Not ending in hospital or graveyard is what matters. Fear porn has gotten many people. Just look at all those people stil arguing and being fascinated by such an arbitrary caracteristic as "case".
Show the data on the vaccine. Why is it so effective for reducing hospital and death?
First off as always a big Thank You for what you do. I have been keeping a daily log of cases from Johns Hopkins and I have noticed they are not updating like they were before which troubles me a bit. I keep track of the area I live in which is the Norfolk Virginia area and surrounding cities on what they call the south side. What I am seeing is a drop but it has reached a point it seems it has flattened out and seems to be steady not high numbers at all. I was looking for it to go up with BA2 but like you said and it does not seem to be happening at all here. I like everyone else will be happy when this is no longer a problem but still makes one wonder why.
