Great interview. Very serious and interesting subject is "super-fit, young athletes suffer sudden cardiac arrest?" What are the actual numbers historically? Is it increased? We have seen deaths on sport fields and athletes early retirement.
No to mandatory vaccines and to passports. 'Quebec govt announces it will make unvaccinated pay a “Health care contribution” . This is a New World. Using universal public health system to financially punish based on behaviour.'
@@lynnedinsdale5009 You can build internment camps but that's only half the job, you still need to fill them with people and that's not as easy as simply making a decree! Separating families, husbands, wives, children from their loved ones and rounding them up to dump in death camps in order to "protect" society from a cold isn't an easy sell to the masses and not something individual governments could achieve without the support of their respective citizenry! Government ambition outweighs their influence and we are beginning to see that across the globe where authoritarian power grabs are being met with significant, growing resistance. I hope they try because that will bring the whole crooked system tumbling down and the people will finally take back their freedoms! This only ends when we collectively decide that it does!
As the doctor rightly said, he's a human being and deserves the right to his individual bodily autonomy. He is a true legend for courageously speaking out. Wishing him all the success and best wishes for the furtherance of his career 🙏
This man is a hero to me. As are many others in this position, no matter what career. I'm sacrificing my care job after 12yrs , 5 of which I have taken NO days off sick. I take full responsibility for the health of myself and my family. We are incredibly fit and healthy individuals and this is of PARAMOUNT importance to me. I have 3 children to support. 3 children that will one day hopefully hold me in high esteem for my choices and live a life free to make their own choices too.
This doctor does not stand alone. My husband and I are prepared to lose our jobs and possibly have to move. I agree with the opinion and facts that the good doctor has put forth in this interview.
We are in the same position. Stay strong, we are trying too but it's hard. More and more people are speaking out. We have joined like minded groups for support. Best wishes.
We need more people like you, stay strong! Similar mandate is being prepared in my country and people are rising up, we need to show them we are not scared!!
@@nsudatta-roy8154 I understand what you’re saying, and I am triple vaccinated against covid, but it’s not “mass delusion” for me to want to get the vaccine willingly based on what I’ve heard about it. I also agree with a viewpoint on people not wanting to get a vaccine, but you shouldn’t shun someone else for having a different viewpoint.
I am so sad that the NHS has come to this. Not allowing informed consent or personal choice. Threatening staff who have looked after so many Covid patients with loss of their careers and livelihoods.
@@leavesofchange Nope like all our public and political institutions the NHS, (which was actually abolished about 10 years ago by The Health & Social Care Bill,) is rotten to core. The problems at Mid Staffs, (which had gone on for years,) were clearly identified and described in The Francis Report, but not a single individual or organization was ever held accountable for, "the appalling suffering of many patients," and, "the preventable deaths of perhaps 1200 patients." "Building on the report of the first inquiry, the story it tells is first and foremost of appalling suffering of many patients. This was primarily caused by a serious failure on the part of a provider Trust Board. It did not listen sufficiently to its patients and staff or ensure the correction of deficiencies brought to the Trust’s attention. Above all, it failed to tackle an insidious negative culture involving a tolerance of poor standards and a disengagement from managerial and leadership responsibilities." "The story would be bad enough if it ended there, but it did not. The NHS system includes many checks and balances which should have prevented serious systemic failure of this sort. There were and are a plethora of agencies, scrutiny groups, commissioners, regulators and professional bodies, all of whom might have been expected by patients and the public to detect and do something effective to remedy non-compliance with acceptable standards of care." " For years that did not occur."
Dr Steve James seems like the kind of doctor you want present in your darkest hours. Compassionate, calm and empathetic what a loss he would be to the NHS
I am in my darkest hour. I am in Wishaw Hospital in Scotland UK, facing major surgery first thing this morning, having fractured and dislocated my ankle. I am unvaxed and have requested 3 times, well in advance of going to op theatre, that I sign a form consenting to use only of unvaxed blood in event of any necessary transfusion during procedure. I have been told there is no filtering of vaxed or unvaxed blood for transfusion therefore my request is not possible. Can you please advise how I should proceed Dr Steve, anyone who understands my dilema? I cannot sleep worrying. In wide awake club.
@@mariemccormick4556 I am unvaccinated. And gladly give blood to you for operation, There must be many more who willing to help you do so. I am in the Usa. Africa has many unvaccinated and has had good health outcomes. Praying for you.
There has been a zero amount of real data that vaccines are safe and it remains between the individual and God of whose choice remains in a life and who has chosen death. May we choose life always and together we go together forever in God we trust, not first the mandate of officials. May God forever give all men wisdom, before power.
I also observed in the tone of officials and the conversations of common public that the page is turning. Being kind is a very good message for those who have been on the right side of the history in this pandemic.
The logic of the governments motive being patient safety collapses when an unvaccinated medical worker is not a health threat between now and midnight 31st march but is a sudden and unacceptable risk on April 1st...if pursued this policy sends a terrifying warning for the future.
The media are smearing this guy into oblivion and yet you watch this and he is a truly pragmatic and logical guy with a lot of common sense and respect for others. The world has gone mad
The Good Morning Britain interview was despicable. They constantly use language that puts him and his views down as a person, cut him off when he starts to explain himself, act like it is wrong to not want the vaccine and then give final word to their own so called in house (paid) doctor.
I don't know. Something about him came across as disingenuous to me. I totally agree with his stance on the mandate and I too have decided not to take up the Government's kind offer of a vaccine but I just felt that the good Doctor was not being honest with himself or the interviewer in particular his reasons for not wanting the vaccine. His apparent vagueness over whether he has actually had Covid stood out to me. As a Doctor I'm surprised he hasn't kept abreast of the asymptomatic transmission idea which is now being questioned as improbable (Please search for Dr Peter McCullough and make up your own mind on this). If he doesn't know whether he had it or not the likely hood is, all things considered, that he hasn't had it. Not that any of that matters. The point is, he shouldn't have to be forced to take a treatment in order to keep his job.
@@simonmorrison8570 I think that his explanation makes sense. He said he wasn't doing any testing and when he finally did test he had the antibodies for it. I could be wrong but I'm sure he wouldn't develop the antibodies without catching it right? You have to remember a lot of people got Covid without any symptoms at all and I am one of those people. My friends girlfriend had 0 symptoms as he had it quite bad. So it makes sense. I also think he is holding back because like a lot of people who do not want the vaccine he has done a lot of research and has found things that has not been televised, so he has to talk whilst withholding that knowledge and only speak about things that are on mainstream media.
Yeah Dr who charges 250 quid for a consultation I've seen I've paid a Dr 500 euro to do 30 mins work not so long ago I needed a lone to pay for it. So what...
@@stephenhogg6154 especially for medicine. It's appalling that not even a friend of mine who has allergies is still not given an exemption from the "vaccine"
When you watch his original clip you can see the fear in all the nurses scared to speak their truth that’s exactly what they want people ingrained in fear and shame. Massive praise to this man for not being emotionally blackmailed, speaking his truth and standing by his oath 👌
I felt so uncomfortable for those 4 other nurses in that video that were asked their opinions on the mandate first, none of them wanted to answer, one just looked at the ground 😔
This doctor is the ultimate role model doctor. The doctor everyone wants. If he opened a private clinic he would get a lot of patients. What a loss for uk. Most doctors that I have met have been psychopathic, authoritarian and cold.
He does have his own private clinic, ironically a breathless clinic that charges 250 for 30 min consult. If you cant see the conflict of interest here then you're as stupid as this guy.
What a remarkable man. Apart from agreeing with him, I'm really amazed at his demeanor, reasonableness, and thoughtfulness. He speaks so compassionately, which is a scarce quality these days. I really applaud his courage and decency.
I wish he also was a remarkable doctor who would have plucked up his courage to shed light on fit and healthy football players who fall like flies after these “life-saving vaccines”. Such a low bar we have established if THIS doctor looks outstanding
I'm an RN on unpaid leave in Canada currently because of vaccine mandates. I'm not giving up hope that this might change before they completely take my job away from me...
@@geri-atric1660 He's hardly falling in line. He's refused to have the vaccine and says he would rather lose his job than take it. Stop chatting shit lad.
I’m a nurse and I put it all on the table. They backed down but I ended up quitting anyways to homeschool my kids. This is the first week and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made!
Good for him, he respects his patients choices and he stands by his right to choose. I wish him well and all who have made the decision for themselves.
Yes not one of them had their own opinion or the backbone to express it, it was pathetic seeing a group of adults act like that, might as well have asked a group of 5 year old who I suspect would have had an opinion. This is how the powers that shouldn't be are conditioning us all so we cower in the corner, regurgitate the information taught and don't think for ourselves, seen it too many times, particularly the millennial generation.
@@maccagrabme well, I work for the NHS as well and did not get the jab for similar reasons until the badgering started. Literally daily emails from the higher ups with the veiled thread of dismissal behind the "we'd like to support you to take the jab" phrasing and the implication of "we know who you are". With days counting "there are 4 more days" etc. When we got to under a week, our ward manager called us into the office to "support us to take the jab" and had us sign a supervision paper that said this conversation had been had. What can I say? I need this job so I took the jab, even though I am healthy and fit. You don't know what the circumstances of those nurses are. Not everyone can afford to be a hero, even though I have respect for heroes. We all have limitations. For me, losing my job and being banned from the entire field and having to move country as a consequence was really not an option at that point. Shame the state of the UK is such that someone who only months ago was called a hero for going into work everyday has to chose between paying rent and integrity.
Bottom line - Dr. James wants people to have all the info on risk vs. benefit to make the best decision for them and to not be a hypocrite. May you live long and prosper, Dr. James!
Do you know what you are asking for?! More people like him in the Health Service would mean more propoganda for anti-vaxers, more hospitalisations and more deaths!
@@dentistry42 Like stand up for these people, spread awareness, organise a protest... Because if we allow this to happen to the NHS staff, thinking the rest of us are safe (I'm a teacher), how long before they knock on our door also? Where will it stop? How is the government allowed to take the freedom of choice from people? Is this a democracy, or a road to dictatorship? Look at the protests across Europe. People from post-totalitarian states are not afraid to take to the streets. They've lived under a totalitarian regime before and can read the signs. Generational trauma runs deep. The British people don't know what that's like, and so they won't see it coming until it's too late.
Just embrace it. Anyone who gives me grief for my vaccine views I consider extremely likely to have been a Nazi prison camp guard, had they been asked to be one. It's just a matter of personality, look at them and think you weak minded fool. Then go on with your day.
@@kky.x I started recently hearing yet another creepy campaign on Spotify. It's in Northern English accents I think (so they don't creep us out even more), but they're all saying in a chorus. "we got boosted to hang out with friends" "I got boosted so I don't fall ill" "We're in this together" Another one describing symptoms in first person like an actress performing in a drama.
Bravo to ur mum for standing up to what she believes. I feel that these Dr's and nurses know the risks associated and have seen this first hand for vaccinated people and they feel that these risks out weigh the benefits of the vaccine.
@@rayalbion9637 vaccines are tested against disease not transmission of a virus so vaccines don't stop people getting the virus but do keep people from serious illness and death....not all people sadly and people are latching on to that bit
He took the opportunity. Now GPs need to apologise for not treating sick people at home causing them to need hospitalisation. This happened to my friend's husband. He nearly died. Thank God he is home and now has natural immunity.
@@jenreynolds5550 If he becomes unwell he will isolate at home so he won't be a risk if he is well he won't be a risk either ,he is taking a risk to himself to take care of patients so he is not selfish ,he wasn't selfish 2 years ago when he did'nt know anything about covid and when things were very scary and he is'nt being selfish now .
If the truth were told of all the effects that healthy people were dealing with after getting jabs there would be far fewer lining up. A Hospital in BC had 13 stillbirths in one day. Safe and effective!
He's unfortunately far too polite, a little too shy and professional TV cretins are mauling him, bullying him with lies and fake news. He's not strong enough talking to the uneducated m*r*ns on Daytime TV. I'd have slaughtered that idiot TV Doctor who is a Pfizer Schill with tiny knowledge. You see even doctors aren't educated positively & Sajid himself talking total nonsense. Doctor Steve, "Vax protection..." NO TOTAL NONSENSE, don't give them that! Since July every cluster trial, including the CDC of America & ICDC of Israel show indisputably that the V'd & unV'd catch Covid equally, and with the same viral load. So no, there is Zero protection from the V. How is being Vd protecting "others" or "The vulnerable "? It's just the bleating mantra of the selfish uneducated frightened for themselves, no one else and too uneducated to know that even Pfizer's CEO said the V's don't work but those selfish pigs are queuing up at A&E with a sniffle demanding a test or even another booster dose! Taking away vital human resources from cancer, cardio, renal and HIV care let alone usual A&E resources. Next, Doctor says, "I have natural immunity equally as good, the protection from the V wanes after about a month " - Javid then lies & says "same as your natural immunity" WRONG. Steve should have jumped on him. "No, no, no minister. Trials on natural immunity worldwide show natural immunity is much stronger than the vaccines and lasts at least 12 months, Johns Hopkins trials show 27 times as strong and against the full virus, not just the Spike protein of the virus...and as stated by renowned professor, Dr. Makary of Johns Hopkins when he published these facts, protection has been tested to still be that strong after 12 months. Longer trials haven't been carried out but it's thought that like measles immunity, Covid immunity will be life long. So BY CARRYING NATURAL IMMUNITY AGAINST THE WHOLE VIRUS I AM THE ONE PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE. GOT IT?
@@MM-tg1xi How about the truth of the reported side effects from the vaccine, consistently suppressed/played down by officialdom? As of about two weeks ago, the reports of adverse events from the vaccine to the UK Yellow Card System totalled the appalling number of 1.3 MILLION - hardly the few 'sore arms' we are being fobbed off with. Proportionate reports have been made to the VAERS System in the US. 'Safe' and 'effective ' - I don't think so.
@@ARCTCFOXMAN I tend to agree - having stuck his neck out so far, I think he could have been a bit more forceful at times. In my opinion he did not make enough of the opportunity to educate these idiots - particularly the ignoramuses at GMB - as to the deficiencies of the vaccines and the emerging evidence and increasing numbers of the side effects. They will have all bought into the 'at most a few sore arms' mantra. Apart from anything else, I made the point above that it is unconscionable that the question of mandating a vaccine, under any circumstances, was even mooted in the first place.
It's not the "pandemic" that's caused the disruption, the reaction that's caused disruption! Good interview. Well done to the doctor, for his calm, measured responses.
An excellent point, and indeed grimly humorous as it is not the virus activity itself that kills patients, it's the immune response overreaction of some patients (The so called cytokine "storm", a bradykinin overproduction mediated by interleukin 6) that does so much damage. To our economy the damage is done by safetyism, opportunism and stupid tribal conflict which themselves are the response to fear that is largely self induced.
But he is wrong to compare the right to being anti-vaccination as a flat-earther; the latters ideas will not cause anyone else to die, someone who is not vaccinated can pass on a disease that can kill another person. This is the fundamental problem that most anti-vax people I've spoken to have, they do not recognise responsibility to the community with their behaviour they only consider themselves. The doctor states we should focus on those who are old or higher risk but completely ignores the fact that he has a greater probability of transmitting the virus to those people by not being vaccinated. Especially in his position as a doctor! Good grief.
@counselthyself You're absolutely right, vaccination does not stop transmission it reduces it. And when you are talking about billions of people that means saving thousands of lives. Statistics are boring but really important when it's you who's on a ventilator.
@@tb-cg6vd I know a number of triple vaxxed people (so that includes new booster) that have recently just caught covid! Most pointless vaccine I've ever come across. The logic that someone having a vaccine protects someone else makes no sense either because if that someone else has been vaccinated why should they be afraid? It "protects" them don't it? Or does it? 🤔 This whole "thinking of others" talk I'm not having that it's emotional blackmail. It's a personal choice at the end of the day and no one should be coherced into it of they don't want to.
@counselthyself Glad my pets aren't overvaccinated. I think people believing in vaccines are beyond repair. Vaccines has not saved humanity from anything.
@@warrengrant2992 Good Grief, as you didn't bother to read my other post I'll spell it out; it's all about statistics, vaccination or any healthcare procedure has a statistical outcome. As such, 1 million vaccinations will increase the chance of non-transmission and reduce severe disease from not being vaccinated, the science is absolutely clear, there is no debate - look at the graphs of real data from every country on the planet. 1 million vaccinations does not mean that 1 million people will not get any severe disease nor never transmit the virus, it is not a yes/no binary outcome. How hard is that to understand? I'll spell it out even more; we wear seatbelts as it reduces injury and fatalities in car accidents. That does not mean that everyone who wears a seatbelt survives a car accident. Now do you understand? As for your personal choice - bollocks. Do you have a personal choice over wearing a seat belt? Or how about a personal choice about putting your hand in my pocket and taking my wallet? Yes we 'think about others' as we live in a group and you wouldn't like it if your neighbour shot you because that was their personal choice. You can have a personal choice to not have a vaccination, no one is going to chase you down the street with a syringe, but in a pandemic I am happy that you will be asked to remain at home until it is over as your personal choice can kill other people.
I very much dislike that we must go from 'clap for the carers' to 'sack the carers'. This man has worked throughout the pandemic to care for very ill patients, and deserves praise for this. It just disgusts me that private health care choices are now exposed, out in the open, and that our civil liberties are now conditional on our health status.
Exactly in the beginning no one knew what were dealing with and these nhs staff put themselves at risk and were clapped. Now these people are being sacked
Dr James is a breath of fresh air. He thoughtfully articulates the issues so many of us have spent countless hours and sleepless nights weighing up. The government needs to give us more credit. We are not anti-vax or anti-science, we are professionals who have spent our careers weighing risk and benefit, and must be allowed to make our own choice.
Exactly, I am exactly as you have described and currently make very tough decisions on the safety of a major part of national infrastructure. I decided that I do not want to get vaccinated.
And let's not forget the guy asking the questions.! He,s covered all bases, as far as I can see. Every question he,d asked had been pertinent, and important. He hasn't shied away from asking anything ,,awkward,,. Just as Dr James has not shied away from answering same. Superbly done, both of you. Thanks for such an upfront discussion.
When he says: "I'm a human being more than a worker." This is crystal clear. Nobody. NOBODY - has the right to force drugs on YOUR body. NOBODY. This is a basic human right. PERIOD. Anyone who seriously believes they can force drugs onto people: that person/body is called a drug dealer.
Are there a lot of unemployed people in Victoria? How do they eat? I think England is different because it's a small, crowded country. 56 million people. And, looking down history, the English don't mind the odd battle or two. Or three... If the English politicians start acting like they're Gods: the English just might start explaining to them exactly why they're not.

Health workers in NY State have been let go (due to not getting this jab). Started at the end of last year. Gov Hochul said the plan was to get in the National Guard to help. Apparently the hospitals are overwhelmed. Mind you, the number of beds are reduced due to staff shortage. Now Hochul has shortened the quarantine time to 5 days (from 10) and the jabbed heath care workers are allowed to work after 5 days even if they still have covid. A clown state. Many are unable to collect welfare. Smh.
…who chose not to…. (For whatever personal reasons, which I don’t judge. I’m just pointing out it IS a choice, no matter how crappy one’s choice to or not to speak out are.) ✌🏽& 💗
Brilliant interview. I'm a vaccinated nurse but 100% on the side of Dr Steve James and his unvaccinated colleagues. I couldn't agree more with everything he said.
I agree completely. This is about freedom and I am getting ready to lose my job as well. It is soooooo wrong to force anybody to put something in their bodies when the truth is right in front of you. Stand strong Doctor as we will as well.
They are making mental health care workers get it too:( it’s get it or get fired! But in regards to the booster I REFUSE! There’s NO WAY! I’ll move to Florida if all else fails!
But there are not many companies that accepts non vaxers. My Co-worker is paying the price for not taking the jabs . He got fired and holding onto the last thread of he's financial situation. Sad realty right in front of my eye .
@@SuperFrazil Then leave that company, work for another that doesn't do unconstitutional shit. I might have to quite to. Its inconvenient but the more we give in the more power they get. Freedom isn't free.
Outstanding and well said Dr. Steve James. government and companies should not have the control to tell an individual what you must put into your body period.
Been resisting from the start. But they know how to use fear and scaremongering tactics in order to get compliance. The climate 'crisis' will take over from the rona, which of course isn't a crisis at all, only on a computer model! But it works well for the narcissistic A holes in power.

@@andrewcheadle948 and actually climate change is a huge problem, and you’re ignorant to say that it isn’t. The vast majority of scientific predictions of the last 60 years or so have been accurate. Regarding climate science, we literally have more than 100 years of empirical scientific evidence that shows that it’s a really big problem and if we don’t change it we’re going to end up killing ourselves.
Over 40 years ago I read an article on a certain group who intended to completely medicalise the population. In league with lawmakers and media they have achieved it................
Exactly. Their only priority is compliance. I am fortunate to be self-employed but my wife works in a corporate supermarket and is subject to this nonsense... we will never comply. If the only motivations are fear mongering you can be sure it's not a good idea. Narrative is not evidence.
I really like how Freddie Sayers interviews people. Love how he makes sure his guests' voices are heard, listens patiently and doesn't try to control what is said. Really admire the doctor too. He has my support 100% If we have any sense of freedom of choice left it's because people like you still exist
They are illegal also. Nobody can force any medical treatment on you and in the EUA document it requires voluntary participation for clinical trials. Nobody read the EUA or NIH protocol thoroughly. Page 33 of the NIH protocol reveals they had a choice and they selected reimbursement over saving people......
"I'm a human being more than I am a worker." He is also a principled, intelligent, empathetic and likely highly competent physician. And what a great interview! Real journalists have become as rare as docs like this...
60+ years ago there was a worldwide push of TB vaccinations. I was a child in junior school. I remember being tested for natural immunity first. I was found to be naturally immune and therefore was not vaccinated. Most important to note I had never at any stage had TB but, living in Africa, I had been exposed to TB on a daily basis, thus my immune system built natural immunity. Surely this is now true of this doctor. He has been exposed to the virus everyday in carrying out his duties. It is quite inhuman to insist that he should now compromise his immune system with an unnesary and potentially harmful vaccination. Brave, intelligent and sensible man. Let us hope that by April the uninformed power mongers cease their dangerous mandates.
Absolutely lovely doctor. He is humble, calm and speaks for those who have not had their voice heard. It's out birth right to question and research on whether we feel this vaccine is right for us. One important part of the discussion was the word "choice". We have a right to choose what we put into our bodies. I wish this doctor a good future.
Dr James is a hero. And the interviewer asked strong and probing questions, but gave him the chance to respond without interuption. Well done both these men. Subscribed and shared.

@@greenlitlleman The vaccinated are spreading it too, he has antibodies, again THE VACCINATED ARE ALSO SPREADING COVID! do you actually know what the vaccine does?
@@daisiesandpandas1218 For non-Omicron strains of the virus vaccine decreases the infection rates by many times. For Omicron, the vaccine prevents hospitalization and allows most people to avoid any negative effects of COVID, which means less spreading as well. Non-vaccinated people spread 80-90% of COVID despite being the minority in most first-world countries. They are also ten times more likely to be hospitalized. The choice isn't only yours to make because it affects other people.
@nigwasme Lol, those are facts proved by peer-reviewed studies. Unlike guys who just watch youtube, I actually check the sources of all important information.
@@greenlitlleman of course it’s my choice to make. Imagine a world where your bank account is tapped into without your consent or consideration to the risks that may create for your family, to feed starving people you don’t know. Global Poverty alleviation is a far more serious threat to humankind yet this equivalent action in that scenario would be condemned. This is no different.
As an elderly person I was very happy to be offered the vaccines since Covid was putting the elderly into hospital. When they came out with the plan to vaccinate 12 - 15 yr olds and one reason given was to "protect grandma" I was horrified. My unvaccinated teenage granddaughter tested positive over the holidays - it was a fairly mild illness and she's bounced back as expected. I was with her when she would have been infectious but never tested positive. If they go ahead with this mandate the NHS will be losing some of its best people.
I am almost 30, I supposedly had covid back in April 2021. I was down for about 2 weeks (I also wasn't sleeping because of worrying about not being able to go on my Florida trip 😅). My boyfriend saw me while I was still getting over it and he never caught it. Once I was able to sleep, I rapidly got better.
This doctor is an accidental hero. Hopefully him speaking out will spur other medics to speak up, because the consequence of not doing so is almost diabolical.
When a doctor does as you ask, and doesn't agree with you. Then he understands the meaning of informed consent. Thank you Dr. James for reminding your colleagues what ethics in practice looks like. They seem to have lost any consideration for them. Including refusing treatment to children whose parents are not vaccinated.
Exactly. Although, if a doctor does not agree and would not feel they were acting in a moral way (for example a doctor against euthanasia or abortion) than they should also not be forced to participate in care. What I am saying is of course the doctor should recommend and advise but the patient should have the final say as it is their body and their life (and each of us only has one each). But if a practicioner would be violating their own code and moral ethics by going with the patients wishes they too should be respected.
Please, doctors, we need more Dr James to speak up openly about this! Be real doctors and tell the truth about the risks to the population! Thanks Dr James for your courageous words!
I am a retired nurse and I cannot give fully informed consent to an EXPERIMENTAL injection. I don't know how anyone can. Discussing this with my nieghbour last week made me realise how many are trusting this government and simply complying, this terrifies me!

What a bloody great interview, if there were more conversations like this in today's world in person or in the media, people would be able to make well informed choices. Thank you
So refreshing to watch an intelligent conversation based on arguments and facts! Kudos to the doctor for standing for his views!! Helping people to assess their risk benefit factors is the way to go about vaccination! Forcing people to get vaccinated is a totalitarian approach!!
This man is very, very smart. He clearly articulates the problem, the risks, and his decision process. I admire his honesty and authenticity, it is so refreshing compared with the fear-driven, behavioral psychology messaging we have been bombarded with.
@@romanlakes which were? I recall him saying that the vaccines were waning after 1 to 2 months for omicron and we don't know what that will be for the next strain and that he had antibodies from having had covid. Which bit of that claim is wrong?
He is an anaesthetist so it is very obvious that he is highly intelligent! One needs to be very smart to get through the exam process and the selection for training, thank goodness. This particular field of Medicine is complex, requiring a cool head, lack of fear and at times a robotic rationality. He is an English, UK trained graduate (Oxbridge) so fluent and articulate. However, that does not mean that his arguments are all correct. The subservient abeyance of our mental faculties when a calm articulate, white male speaks is the road to ruin... 🤔
It's quite remarkable, thousands of doctors around the world refuse, with so many arguments, to take this inoculation, yet the masses, knowing nothing about it, wants to force it upon their neighbors.
@@yukyukyuk1335 No it won't be, the wave of resistance is building. If not him, perhaps others will pop up. As Victor Hugo said: ""Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.""
Wonderful intelligent doctor.would trust this doctor with my life.i heard they are asking the unvaccinated medical staff to come back to hospitals abroad coz they are short staff
As an unvaccinated 60 year old, I found this fascinating. Thank you Dr Steve for standing up for all of us who feel unheard on this issue. I personally believed the link between serious impact of covid and obesity, and consequently lost over 70lbs since the pandemic began and took up running. I find it insulting that people who do nothing but allow themselves to be injected with a drug they know nothing about lecture me on my choices. When all the obese people take the pandemic seriously and do something about their health and fitness, I'll rethink my position on the vaccine.
A crack in the system Dr. Stillwagon is a former chiropractor and airline captain. He was an airline pilot for 33 years. For 26 years he was employed by Delta Airlines of which for 21 years he was a captain. He was forced to retire from Delta Airlines over refusing to wear a face mask as “part of his uniform.” He was forced to retire even though the airline admitted wearing a face mask did not stop the transmission of Covid and it was purely for “optics.”
As a retired nurse, I’ve had countless vaccines. My husband and I are now in our 70’s and we have declined the jabs (it’s not a vaccine..there’s no reliable data). Yellow card reporting system for adverse and side effects are astounding! Well done for sticking up for freedom of choice. Question: If unjabbed are so dangerous in nhs setting why wait till April?
Marie have you and your husband seen the whistle blower article in the BMJ regarding the Pfizer data being fabricated? It’s unbelievable. I can’t post the link as my comment is quickly removed….I’ve tried three times.
I don't care what his convictions are. He doesn't have access to the research that others do to make a decision. I have not seen a single report of the vaccine only reducing transmission for a few weeks of either variant. He's not an immunologist or a virologist.
@@V0lk As he says ‘Choice’. No other for me either. Otherwise it’s dictatorship and if the vaccine is so wonderful why worry about those who don’t get it! Leave them alone, their choice what they do or don’t do with their own body, which is theirs not government or anyone else’s for whatever reason they choose to have it or not.
@@V0lk If transmission isn't reduced after a few weeks/ months, why are we being asked to have two vaccinations plus a booster? (I haven't seen any research one way or the other to be honest).
@@V0lk lol the pfizer CEO literally came out and said it yesterday. Is that not proof enough? In fact he went even further and said the vaccines in fact didn't provide much immunity at all.
I blindly went to have my first jab mid 2021, knowing I'm young, perfectly healthy without any previous health problems or allergies. Only to go into anaphylaxis, which was a first in my life. It really opened my eyes. I put my life at risk to receive a vaccination for an illness that probably wouldn't have affected me at all. I tested positive for Covid a few weeks ago completely asymptomatic, I don't know how it would have affected me unvaccinated but I can almost guarantee it wouldn't have affected me like the vaccine did. I made that decision to get vaccinated, if someone else is coerced into that and has serious side effects it is truly unethical. I now understand why we should have control of what we do with our bodies, we need to be able to weigh up factors and make an informed choice.
Steve is also giving a voice to the lesser people that might be more disposable in his environment. He's got balls to speak up/out before hopefully not getting cancelled.
It's disgusting that you have to choose between the two but there is nothing more important than your health so if you do have concerns about this then no, you shouldn't be forced into taking it
I’m just getting over Covid pneumonia. I’m not vaxed and I’m grateful my outcome thus far is positive. Let’s all start respecting one and other and our individual choices. No one size fits all.
@@claire1544 funny how it was conceded a tabu to get rid of the bankers that brought the whole world to its knees but it seems OK to get rid of the very people that save all ourselves where is the logic behind it all
@@chrisjie2127 he would have to retrain from the start of residency, not worth it especially considering he is a consultant here already. Better to go middle East or AU/NZ to work as consultant there.
@@bobsmithy9024 I don't think you've been paying attention on the whole omicron situation have you? Even with Delta it wouldn't really matter, people can still pass on the virus after being vaccinated, because they're wrongly assuming they're not sick, while chances of it being asymptomatic are most certainly there.
This doctor comes across as such an intelligent and thoughtful man. I would think that it would be SO IMPORTANT for the NHS to keep him. Not lose him for the sake of a stupid vaccine which is now looking hardly worthwhile.
He's an IT guy not a doctor. He's also happy for people to believe misinformation like flat earth "theory" and admitted early in this very interview that his anecdotal evidence is blinding him to the scientific research. Don't listen to him just because he sounds put together and wears classes.
@@samjones7296 you have totally missed the point.....of course he is happy for people to believe the world is flat why wouldn't he??? Because everybody is different and has different beliefs it doesnt affect him if the are flat earthers he is happy for people to have different opinions on things which is exactly how society should be! Secondly he is a doctor!! Do your research before gobbing off it takes 12 to 15 years to become an anaesthetist they are doctors who have chosen after qualifying to undertake post graduate specialist training of at least 7 years in anaesthesia , intensive care medicine and pain management , meaning he did his 5 years medical training to become a doctor first then moved on to a specific field it actually makes him more qualified than your standard GP. Thirdly to try and make your point valid you have addressed his ability to articulate himself and how he looks to confirm some kind of bias you have?? The blokes clearly highly educated and yes is very articulate so more than likely has done his research and working in icu over the pandemic has seen it all which have you ever thought may well not have been bad enough to convince him to have the vaccine or maybe he has seen lots of people with bad side effects from the jab?? He did state that in another interview. Lastly as a human being he has a choice to do as he pleases and is happy to lose his job over it so good for him I say.
@@TheTraditionalGolfer at the 10minute mark he literally calls himself an IT consultant. Ok but if my "opinion" is 2+2=5 I don't get to involve myself in serious public discussions about maths when those discussions had a life or death outcome for 150,000 people (deaths per day on par with British ww2 deaths btw...) Forming an opinion based on personal experience with a small sample size is not a good way to form an opinion. He admits this is how he formed his opinion with his weird tiger analogy, saying his anecdotal evidence is more important than the scientific studies. It's absurd. His whole argument is that he has antibodies which make him immune but admits they (like the vaccine) will wear off eventually. So what then? By his logic his solution would be "get covid again", risking his own health and that of others around him AND causing scheduling issues for the NHS who many people's lives depend on. The sensible answer is... Get jabbed, experience minute side effects at most and get on with it. Still waiting for literally any evidence that vaccines cause serious problems btw... He said that human being thing in this interview too. So? Good riddance, clearly isn't fulfilling his hippocratic oath if he won't care for the well-being of his patients.
@@samjones7296 just to address your points his tongue in cheek statement about being an IT consultant clearly isn't true and we have already established his qualifications being more than your run of the mill GP. You say he has an opinion with a small sample size as opposed to yours??? ( Sorry I missed what you do as a profession??) Of course his tiger analogy is correct 👍 I'm 42 fit and healthy im not jabbed and have had covid 3 weeks ago...it did nothing it was very mild and like he correctly stated his antibodies will drop off less than somebody who has been vaccinated! He didn't pull that out of his arse he pulled that from a scientific paper written about the Oxford vaccine so again this articulate intelligent doctor has done his research. You also make the point of him not being jabbed affects the patients and his ability to serve the NHS??? Did you know getting jabbed doesnt stop you spreading it!! So jabbed or not you still spread the virus so that doesn't count oh and if he gets jabbed and gets covid and tests positive he has to self isolate at home so thats rubbish to....and the reason why is because a jabbed positive person can still spread so this vaccine to somebody fit and healthy makes no difference at all he would still have to go home and he can still spread it and he already knows his immune system is more than capable of dealing with covid if he contracts it again. And as for your evidence on the vaccine causing issues..have you been hiding under a rock?? He gave you the numbers 1 in 45000 get serious issues from it my best friends wife is now wheel chair bound for the rest of her life from the vaccine and 2 women in my village both have serious heart conditions from it all confirmed from there doctor all fit and well and reasonably young before having it thats 3 people I know straight away, do you want to know how many people I know have had to go to hospital because of covid? None not 1 but like you say my limited experience isn't enough to make an informed answer so I will continue to listen to health professionals who deal with it day in and day out and understand the science because there more educated than myself 👍 now if this vaccine is the silver bullet you guys like to think of it as get on with it you have been jabbed you have nothing to worry about you shouldn't have an issue with somebody who hasn't and what there narrative is and remember you can still spread it my friend jabbed or not you don't get to wonder around if you test positive oh no you have to isolate to keep others safe and the rules for me being not vaccinated is GUESS WHAT exactly the same as you 😂 👍 live and live my friend and maybe the penny will drop one day.
@@samjones7296 oh and one more stat for you to think about in total 5.5 million people worldwide have died from covid as of January 2022 the world's population is 7.7 billion ok so if we think of just one percent of the worlds population that would be 77 million people 🤔 so let's get this straight if we establish that the virus for figures sake has been around 2 years and its killed 2.75 million people a year that would mean at its current rate it would take 28 years to kill just 1 percent of the worlds population so another way to look at it is if you live for the next 28 years you have a 99 percent chance of survival with covid around 😉 i hope that helps ease some of your fears 👍
A Genuine deadly pandemic doesn't require 24/7 advertising. Real pandemics don't need constant marketing campaigns and endless propaganda. Psychological Ops on the other hand... DO. Just some food for thought. Sincerely, Unvaxxinated
2 women that live in the same village to me just down the road have both now developed Myocarditis from the vaccine I was talking to one of them she said her Gp is 99 percent sure it was the vaccine that caused it.....not good there seems to be a lot of these cases popping up now.
They never count on a men with this much integrity standing up to them. Why is that? Is it because they exist in a world of people with absolutely no integrity? They simply cannot imagine such people exist, to be honest I had started to believe they had disappeared too. Thank you Dr Steve James, a single man of integrity like you can make such a huge difference.
I ignored restrictions from day 1. Never ever wore a mask. Attended 3 anti restriction demos. Helped Post 5000 anti Lockdown /Restriction leaflets in N/E.
It's been genuinely frightening how quickly this country has largely abandoned seeing privacy, caution and personal liberty as sacred. We seem to be more conformist and intolerant than ever. We are drifting toward being more like China and excepting authoritarianism. All this at a time when the political class are blatantly incompetent and corrupt. If I could emigrate I would although I love the UK.
I'm a pilot in europe, unvaccinated against covid. I've had so much exposure to this virus while traveling, staying in hotel etc. I had a symptomatic response to the delta strain. I still have antibodies nearly a year after infection. I'm not afraid of this virus, but I am afraid of how hysterical people are about it.
So articulate and calm. I'm so pissed off and have so much anxiety about all of this, that when I speak about it I get agitated and just don't have composure like this guy has. Because I have felt a great sense of threat, and like many people am a lot less healthy than I was 2 years ago because this world has become a fearful and morbidly dark and unhealthy one to live in. People need more than to be free of pathogens to live happy and health lives. We need governments to mind their own fucking business when it comes to public health, when clearly they are not objective, thoughtful, or particularly smart....or honest.
I’m an ICU nurse and I stand by this Dr! I and many others feel the same as him, we are just shut down and unable to speak! I will lose my job after 10 years service in ICU in the NHS. It’s sad, but the government and collective world have lost their marbles. Critical thinking and logic are replaced by Twitter rants and deliberate bending of the truth.
Absolutely agree with you, my son is an ICU nurse and is facing off to this mandate also….he feels so pressured 😢…I stand by what this Dr is saying too…so wish many more would speak up, but I understand why they don’t…The “Media” and government have a lot to answer for 😡😡
my respect to you as an ICU nurse. You guys do amazing work there :-) I have no more respect to lose for this government, but wow, the direction the western world is turning to is scary. I say this as someone who's grown up in a totalitarian regime and moved here for "a better life".
I admire his courage in standing up to estalishment. We have rules but they are needlessly oppressive just to snatch power. More doctors like him are needed and government own up to mistakes and stop mandates.
I was vaccinated when I was a kid, and also vaccinated my kids when I became a mother, and never question this. It was the usual thing to do. When this covid vaccine was ready so soon, I got curious about to learn about vaccines, and started to search about this topic to find out that the safety study takes years; so using my critical thinking skills, I realized I wanted to get the jab because of fear of getting sick, so I refused to be control by fear, and I decided not to get vaccinated without good, long safety studies. I’m happy I didn’t fall into the mass formation.

No disease has ever been demonstrated to be transmissible under controlled conditions. Rigorous scientific investigations have been carried out on this historically and they consistently failed to show that disease symptoms can be passed from person to person (e.g. the Gallops Island study into the supposedly highly-infectious "Spanish Flu"). This idea that _asymptomatic_ people can spread disease is a complete farce. *Symptomatic* people don't even spread disease! The idea that people catch diseases off each other is the world's most prevalent and most dangerous superstition.
What about his patients? He's probably been infecting them a selfish man and a disgrace to medicine. He should be suspended until all this is behind us.
@@scowi3 yeah, terrain theory actually has no scientific basis whatsoever. I'm going to predict that you have no idea of any aspect of immunology, do you?
@@norwegianzound So tell me what is the science on asymptomatic spread? And what are the differences in viral load between the vaccinated and unvaccinated? A study from the University of California, Davis, Genome Center, UC San Francisco and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub shows no significant difference in viral load between vaccinated and unvaccinated people who tested positive for the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. It also found no significant difference between infected people with or without symptoms.
It's wise people like yourself and other health are professionals that we need to look up to. Why have these professionals chosen not to take the vaccine surely they know more than they can state.
