I remain a huge fan John - you've been brave in your reporting and were brave to have this conversation. I applaud you for your work and for embracing this moment of accountability. But it did feel like a bit of a cop-out to me.

In my opinion no medical professional should have supported mass distribution of a vaccine that hadn’t gone through the standard long-term testing. Especially with a pathogen with a low IFR.

IMO the novelty of the method, with years of failed attempts at coronavirus vaccines, and with years of failures in developing safe mRNA technologies, all miraculously ‘overcome’ in a very short timeline should have made healthcare workers very suspicious.

IMO it should have been a tremendous red flag when the EUA was based on a lack of alternative treatments and those other treatments were prematurely dismissed in anti-scientific ways.

IMO the trial data itself, with more all-cause mortality in the treatment group, the poorly chosen endpoints, the sloppy testing protocols and the very suspicious and asymmetrical exclusions, should have given all healthcare professionals pause.

IMO the rush to vaccinate children was not only a red flag given the terrible risk-benefit analysis, but was incredibly suspicious given the fact that getting the vaccines approved on the US childhood vaccine schedule gives the Pharma companies much broader protection against liability.

IMO many, many, people, including Jessica and Norman, weren’t merely making lucky guesses in the dark - they were providing real evidence early on based on real data, and deserve credit for seeing the truth much earlier than others.

And I say all this not with hindsight, but as a layperson who knew these things before you reported on them.

I could go on, but I do feel an opportunity was missed in this conversation, even given the limitations of YouTube. The world is watching - and that includes a lot of medical professionals who are wrestling with the dissonance of what they have done. Modelling a more complete picture of truth and reconciliation could have done us all a world of good.

John, I've looked back at your videos...

For instance see this one published on 25 February 2021, in which you extol the effectiveness/efficacy of the vaccines: Vaccines, excellent real world data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ApgJMVkM0

Looking at the video now, do you think you were qualified to discuss novel vaccine products that had barely seen the light of day at that stage?

For instance, what about this statement of yours in the video:

- "Vaccine effectively prevents both symptomatic and asymptomatic infection in working age adults."

Asymptomatic infection? Working age adults?

Working age adults weren’t at serious risk of Covid, why were they in vaccine trials?

Why didn’t you question this, i.e. people not at serious risk of Covid being included in Covid vaccine trials?

When covid hit in March 20 we were locked down in spain, lost, confused and scared with no Spanish. UK and Irish news didn't help only adding misery as fuel to the fire. Found you on netflix and you became our beacon with calm informed updates. Thank you for this.

I find it difficult to look at John Campbell’s face, never mind listen to him. He did so much damage in going along with the government’s narrative when any fool could see it was all propaganda and lies. I have no medical qualifications but I knew without a doubt that the ‘vaccines’ should have been avoided at all costs. How many people took the vaccine because they were reassured by ‘Dr’ Campbell? And now he’s paraded around with the great and the good as if he did no harm. Maybe if he apologised I would feel differently but he hasn’t, so I don’t. 😡

I don’t recall how i actually “found” your YouTube channel but want you to know I agree wholeheartedly with mags Dowling re being a “beacon”.

I watched....gratefully... as you began... and now continue...to question, research, analyze and share with us the blatant “discrepancies” we were /are being fed.

You are brave, Professor Campbell and have my utmost respect...so much so that you are one of my personal...and recommended to others....trusted “go to” sources.

Thank you for your willingness to think independently and the guts to publicly share what your evolution.

I have an additional question. It was sort of touched by Norman (I think), but not really discussed.

I struggle with this myself, and I am targeting it at both John and Norman. Its obvious that we see the madness of it all. Personally I have been critical from day one and did not take a single shot. I have some absurd personal experiences. One is in May 2020. My wife and me had actually planned a trip to the US in 2020, but due to the Covid craziness this was cancelled. Instead I thought of taking a camper trip to Sweden/Norway (escape!). I envisioned playing Queens 'I want to break free' very loud in the car when crossing the German border. Unfortunately on the day we picked up the camper van (or RV as they would say in the US), the agent told us that due to Covid the car insurance was not valid abroad. Puzzled ? yes, Upset? also. We live in the Netherlands and did not particularly like the idea of cruising tiny Netherlands for 4 weeks. So we settled for a 1 week trip, further shrinking our ambitions. One of our destinations was in the South of Holland, the province of Limburg. We had the pleasure of seeing the ROADBLOCKS with Belgium.... I did take some pictures of that warzone. There is one point where the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany share their boarders, the 3 country point. The dreaded virus apparently was unable to access Germany, but was capable of attacking Belgium. Never was de insanity of the measures more clear then at that point in time.

Oh, yes ,and our business came to a grinding hold as well.

I am drifting off. My question is: what can possibly be the background of the utter madness that was initiated? Does big pharma really have that much power? Has it been going on for longer? Were our politicians not capable of drawing their own conclusions? Were they genuinely scared? Is it WHO pressure? I am just trying to understand how on earth we ended up in this situation. I am honestly confused and baffled, and would appreciate your view on this.

As far as I am concerned it is not over. We are still being lied to. Its Animal Farm come true.

My view on the world including MSM (would never have guessed I would use that phrase 3 years ago) has entirely changed.

He followed the evidence presented. Second sight and Damascene moments are peculiar to the individual as medical intervention should be.

Love 'Understandable Jessica' always... And her contribution to the 3rd International Covid Summit in Brussel Sprouts which is currently on YouTube... Which everyone needs to watch.

John, re. question 12. You kind of ducked out of it by claiming it was 'above your pay grade' to question those other narratives. Personally, I feel that it is our duty to be intensely sceptical of these narratives put out by governments and 'experts'. It shouldn't be above anyone's pay grade to question them, especially when policies formed in order to supposedly address these issues have so much impact on all our lives - Covid lockdowns and vaccines and Net Zero being the two prime examples. I made this point on Norman's blog here:

Watched. Yes, intense but good. The 3 of you are some of my favorites. Well done. I have been in this covid clown world game since day one. Have clocked over 10,000 hour of scientific and medical covid research to date as well as maintained and graduated with a naturally immune 4.00 gpa RN degree. I do appreciate your work Dr Cambell and have been an astute observer of your awakening ; ) Happy you have brought so many along with you for Team Humanity. Congatulations on maintaining your You Tube channel and following as well. Excellent articulation, excellent. Just brillant! Love it : )

These weren't tough questions and your answers were frequently unconvincing. I take particular exception to the way you so casually dismissed those censored scientists and medical professionals who were shouting loudly about the insanity of what was going on, as not being evidence-led and somehow 'getting lucky' with their assessments that turned out to be correct. Really quite disgusting and disrespectful to do that.

An obvious question which I've never seen you asked:

As an experienced medical professional, why didn't it ever occur to you that carrying out the largest human medical experiment on billions of people was a spectacularly reckless and dangerous thing to do?

The "above my pay grade" answer near the end of the interview was rather strange. I thought that you were now all about following the evidence and not simply accepting what is fed us?

To begin your re-evaluation of the safety and efficacy of conventional vaccines, I recommend beginning with the book "Turtles All the Way Down". It will be quite eye-opening.

Then, if you want to dig deeper, I've provided a considerable collection of resources for further review:

Of particular interest may be the resources on childhood vaccines and the childhood vaccine schedule:

So many brilliant doctors and scientists were kicked to the curb over the past 3 years that, imho, we are left with government and industrial “yes men”. What a great and thoughtful hour of conversation.

i always have my doubts abt people who make big changes late in their careers when they have little to lose. hmm. got to wonder abt john boy and so we should wonder abt everyone who presents as some sort of influencer. my question is this: is he a phd or is he a physician. in this other interview he says he is a phd so how then does he have "patients"? i need clarification.

thank you Norman, for asking those tough questions and persevering in such a forceful yet decent way.

John, I followed you from February 2020. Not sure how I found you, however initially it was as a balance to the two sides of the debate, the official govt narrative Vs the 'conspiracy theorists'.

I had a long distrust of our Govts and globalism generally but adult enough to know there are some genuine loonies out there too. You never disappointed me on that front and your personal journey confirmed my gut feeling to put my faith in your work.

Anyone stupid enough to suggest you are a 'Controlled Opposition' doesn't understand how that works LoL

A controlled opposition BEGINS with someone trusted by the sceptics who then gradually move the narrative toward the establishment position. The other way round simply doesn't make sense, to the point that I'd suggest it's the establishment saying that in order to cast shade because there's nothing else they can do to you sort of murder or imprisonment. You have shown you cannot be bought so they are powerless against you, same as Rogan.

Great job, take care, keep well and thank you 👍

Mr. Campbell's evolution, from true believer to well informed and rational skeptic, is precisely why I find him a credible figure.
