On Feb 15, 2023, Dr. John Campbell put out a very popular YouTube video entitled, “Vaccine Brain Injury”, where he discussed a case-report paper that, according to him, clearly demonstrated that the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 have resulted in severe, even lethal, inflammatory brain and heart injuries. As of today, this particular video has been viewed over 830,000 times. So, it’s had a fairly significant impact.
Now, before discussing this particular video and the paper that was cited, a bit of background on Dr. John Campbell. He is a fairly popular English YouTuber, who’s become exponentially more popular, and much more wealthy, ever since he started promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. He’s actually a retired nurse educator known who started out with a fairly mainstream position on vaccines. However, he soon veered off into promoting numerous conspiracy theories against the COVID-19 vaccines, with significantly improved financial success.

mRNA Vaccines and Brain Injury:
Anyway, here’s Dr. Campbell’s video:
So, in this video, Dr. Campbell claims that the mRNA vaccine that was given to a patient who died of encephalitis actually caused the encephalitis that killed the patient. How does he know this? Well, the single author of the case report paper he cites (Michael Mörz, October 2022) notes that the COVID-19 viral “spike protein” was detected in the walls of the inflamed vessels of the brain (and heart) while the nucleocapsid viral proteins were not detected. They interpreted this to mean that the detected spike protein was not produced by an actual viral infection since a true viral infection by COVID-19 would have also made large quantities of the viral nucleocapsid protein. And, since this nucleocapsid protein wasn’t detected, the abundant amounts of spike protein in the vessels of the brain must have been produced by the mRNA vaccine.
It all seems so logical – at first approximation. Yet, things are not always as they might first appear – especially when it comes to the medical sciences. As it turns out, Dr. Michael Mörz (a German pathologist) and Dr. Campbell got it completely wrong. It turns out that neither Michael Mörz nor John Campbell took the time to do a literature review – since a paper published more than a year earlier had already shown that their assumptions here were, well, completely wrong (Jakob Matschke, MD, et al, November 2020). The lack of the nucleocapsid protein when COVID-19 spike proteins are detected in organs like the heart or the brain is the general rule, not the exception, for those people who are actively actually infected by COVID-19. And, with regard to the heart, a subsequent paper (Louisa Mezache, October 2022) showed the same thing.
So, Campbell is promoting false claims here. And, he now knows this. Yet, he hasn’t apologized nor has he taken his video down. Why not? Well, he does make a lot of money off of these videos…
Anyway, for further details and information, here are a couple of excellent reviews of Dr. Campbell’s video and Michael Mörz’s paper by the very well-known pulmonologist Dr. Roger Seheult and the nanomedicine expert and scientist, Dr. Susan Oliver:

Masks and COVID-19:
As an aside, John Campbell goes on to claim that masks don’t really help at all:
Yet, there is abundant evidence that mask-wearing is indeed helpful in reducing COVID-19 transmission rates and the severity of disease. In response, consider the following:

This is at the root of everything, because there’s a massive gap between what is being assessed and what people understand.
The paper looks at *any* study that analyzes mask wearing, without looking at adherence at all.
Unsurprisingly, masks not worn don’t protect

The debate on whether masks work continues. As I’ve dived further into it and received feedback, I’ve updated my views
Here’s the detail of the original threadhttps://t.co/RO4mvMUwGk
And then I added much more color herehttps://t.co/953hn9g1vS
Here are the updated views:

New mask thread. Addresses
– Why so much controversy?
– Airborne transmission
– RCTs of masks – strengths/weaknesses, community, healthcare settings
– Meta-analyses – gold standard or lazy lumping?
– Non-RCT evidence – why is it needed, what does it show?
– AOB

Where there is smoke there usually is a fire. Major concerns are popping up everywhere! Sudden death Adult syndrome which many are concerned can be traced back to these vacs. So many young healthy athletes dying suddenly! Faucci seems to go into hiding while the early lies about these vaccinations and its origin have surfaced. No matter how you look at it, something is wrong!

View CommentReally? Why then haven’t the sudden death rates for adults or young healthy athletes increased since the mRNA vaccines became available?
In fact, when you look at “all cause mortality rates”, you will see that those who are vaccinated actually have a lower all-cause mortality rate compared to those who are not vaccinated. And, this is true here in the United States and all around the world. It simply isn’t true that vaccines increase death rates of any kind. The mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives and prevented many millions more hospitalizations and long-term injuries.

Even within the United States, those states and counties with higher vaccination rates had a lower all-cause mortality rate compared to those states and counties with lower vaccination rates:
See also the excellent review of this by Dr. Roger Seheult:
Also, where are the “lies about these vaccines and their origins”? What are you talking about here? It seems to me that you’re simply repeating what you’ve read or heard from conspircy theoriests without actually checking to see if such claims are truly valid.

View CommentYou emphasize the point that Campbell, thru his YouTubing, has probably become quite wealthy. I bet Seheult even more so.
You probably won’t make this available for public viewing the same as you didn’t make my last post public.

View CommentDr. Roger Seheult does make some money from his YouTube Videos, but not nearly what Campbell makes. The fact of the matter is, Campbell started making much more money once he switched from presenting mainstream medical science to promoting conspiracy theories. Promoting conspiracy theories is far more profitable it seems… unfortunately.
As far as your posts, I haven’t blocked any of them thus far. I do find it interesting, however, that you don’t address any of the counterarguments forwarded by Dr. Seheult. Why do you choose to believe a retired nurse, like Campbell, over a practicing pulmonologist who was fighting on the front lines during the height of COVID-19, like Seheult?

View CommentTwo brains, locked in on the official narrative. Please look outside of the box. Jesus walked and talked and cared for people outside the box. Follow your leader who warned about deceptions by big pharma and big business as the beast the harlot church rides — Revelation 18:23
“… all nations were deceived by your sorcery (pharmakeia)!
https://revelationscriptures.com/revelation-18-23-babylons-pahamakeia/
Jesus reached out asking to “let us reason together.”
“A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out” (Matthew 12:20).
There is a spirit in the SDA Church that is breaking reeds and putting out wicks.
Not an example of who we say is our leader.
Wilson/ADCOM/Hart disowns members who dare want to “let us reason together” about the Vaccine Statement. Attorney Zirkle’s request stomped by Wilsons command to delegates to vote NO, and by a mal-functioning electronic voting system that would not even register the seconds to Zirkle’s motion. Request to check the electronic voting system was rejected by GC. Not something Jesus would reject.
You say without compassion:
Really? Why then haven’t the sudden death rates for adults or young healthy athletes increased since the mRNA vaccines became available?
You say the vaccine is a risk-benefit decision. I say that each “risk” dying or harmed is a human person, not a throw-away statistic. Where is the informed consent, and information on vaccine adverse affects within the vaccine medicine box? Do you have a copy of what information about the vaccine is provided to patients and doctors?

Dealing with narcissists who think they are empathic:

View CommentYou do realize that Ellen White herself promoted various medications and medical therapies of her day that she considered to be helpful in various situations? – to include the use of what was generally regarded as a “poison”, quinine, to prevent malarial infections for missionaries who worked in malaria-infested regions of the world? She wrote, “If quinine will save a life, use quinine.” (Link) She also supported the vaccination of her son William, both as a child and as an adult (despite William having had an adverse reaction to vaccination as a child) (Link). She supported blood transfusion when necessary, despite their risks (Link). And, she even supported using radiation therapy when appropriate, despite its risks (Link). Beyond this, she recognized the advantages of anesthesia during surgery and the use of medicines to relieve the intense pain and suffering of the injured or sick (Link).
Regarding Revelation 18:23, in particular, the term “pharmakeia” is best translated as “sorcery” here. There is no intended advice at all against modern medicine in this passage. What, are you suggesting that medications like antibiotics to treat bacterial infections or insulin to treat diabetes are evil “sorceries”? Again, such arguments only make the Christians who say such things look sensational and irrational – which puts the Gospel Message itself into a bad light for those who are considering following Christ. (Link, Link)
Again, the delegates simply were not so uninformed as you and Pastor Vine are claiming here. They had already heard enough reasons and arguments regarding vaccines to make an intelligent informed decision on this particular topic…
As already discussed, this isn’t true. Elder Wilson simply doesn’t have the power to command the delegates to do anything. And Zirkle’s motion did in fact receive “seconds” since the internet connection issue was fixed. The electronic voting system simply wasn’t an issue at this GC session as it had been back at the 2015 GC session. You’re simply repeating claims here that aren’t true.
Why are you accusing me of having no compassion when I simply point out the fact that the actual sudden death rate for adults and young healthy athletes has not increased since the mRNA vaccines became available? – that the rate of these tragic events has not changed? – that, despite these events being true tragedies that are horrible indeed, they are are not being cause by the mRNA vaccines?
Everything you do is a risk/reward decision. Even drinking pure clean water can kill you, since water can be toxic if taken into the body beyond its level of toxicity. And, the risks of the mRNA vaccines are well known and have been well-publicized. It’s just that, for most people, the risks of getting infected by the COVID-19 virus was much much greater than getting vaccinated ahead of time.
This is all based on false or misleading information, some of which has been completely fabricated (Link). You’re taking lies for truth and truth for lies here. I’m really sorry that you’ve been do deceived, but that’s the reality of the situation. The voices that you’ve chosen to listen to are, in fact, not telling you the actual truth. And, just a little bit of even-hand investigation would demonstrate this to the candid observer. The claim that young healthy athletes have started dying at much higher rates since the mRNA vaccines became available just isn’t true. This conspiracy theory is flat out wrong, without any basis in actual generally-available empirical data. Here’s a little history behind this particular conspiracy theory:
Yet, you don’t accept any data that is contrary to your position. Why not? Upon what basis do you believe the claims of known conspiracy theorists over the observation of the vast majority of experts in this particular field of study? I mean, how credible are those that you’re referencing here?
Tucker Carlson, in particular, admits that he lies on his program for entertainment purposes (Link, Link). Robert Kennedy consistently makes completely false and outrageous claims and promotes innumerable conspiracy theories – most of which are completely ludicrous. Drs. Peter McCullough and Robert Malone aren’t much better, spouting off endless tin-hat just-so conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and the mRNA viruses. Yet, these are the types of people that you are citing to support your positions here? Can’t you do any better than this?
It’s not that these differing opinions haven’t been very carefully and thouroughly considered. It’s just that they’ve all turned out to be wrong. The actual data that is currently in hand very clearly falsifies the claims that you’ve been forwarding – all of them. How then, do you explain away what seems to be the very strong weight evidence that I’ve provided to you that appears to effectively falsify your positions here?
Again, you accuse me of narcissism and lack of empathy with great confidence – without actually knowing me or my true heart or motivations. What makes you so confident that I care not about reducing serious injuries or saving lives? How could you possibly think yourself clear to make such God-like accusations? Are such moral judgments and accusations really Christlike? I mean, even though I think that what you’re promoting is actually hurting people and putting their very lives at risk, I don’t accuse you of evil motives. I think that you honestly and sincerely believe what you believe – that you are honestly trying to help people. Why can’t you offer me the same benefit of the doubt here? – at least with regard to my own motivations and personal morality?
