Thanks Dr C, you break things down to digestible chunks. I'm still following you after a year and still spreading the Vit D message to all that will lend an ear. I do throw in some of your other gems to mix it up a bit! Thanks for all your time and effort 😘
Amazing. In less than 30 minutes you assimilated a full year of “genetics, biochemistry, virology, and immunology” in college. Great review for this old health care provider.
This a living library where most of us resource to get what to share to our listeners... Folks! This library updates us on different topics and amid knockdowns... We learn and sometimes it relieves us.... Let's pray that the covid-19 virus heads to the "less fit" mutation 😁😁😁😁
Thank you Doctor John. Very informative and a bit scary. We are very blessed to have you to keep us updated. I also have been following your videos for over a year now.
I have been watching your videos for over a year now-my cat, Doodle Bug, actually recognizes your voice. He watches along side. I would have to say Doodle Bug is more informed about COVID-19 than most of my fellow Americans. Thank you for your work.
The most miserable and boring year in living memory. For me at least. I like Dr John but I hope I'm not watching these daily updates this time next year.
@@nickdeth24 Yes - for me I'm afraid listening to JC (useful though its been) will go into my horrible memory compartment along with mask wearing and social distancing.
Good morning John just to say that I really enjoy listening to your talks and follow them daily. I find them easy to follow, well mostly. Yours sicerely Liz
Thanks Dr John for a very clear explanation of this topic and very pleased to hear from you so early in the day! Good morning everyone and enjoy the weekend.
@@tomjohnson4681 The government ministers who are running this fiasco are basically laymen. They have to rely for advice in people who are supposed to be experts. They then have to make an informed descision based on that advice. Unfortunately not all experts agree and thats where the problem lies.
The only reason God created humans was to provide lounging space for the viruses otherwise they would have no place to live. got it ? Its a housing issue.
The Frankenstein Variant in progress , Ygor ‘s new books on Amazoo’n 📚! In Short : it Sounds like if We don’t vaccinate the whole world by tomorrow , the vaccinated will become super duper dose carriers ! *HELP !!!* The top lip was white , the Talk Stilted ! Should I be vaccinated or ... very worried ? After this talk , probably vaccinated and very very worried 😟!
Thank you so much for these videos, been religiously watching you for over a year now.You are a natural teacher to break this down into manageable segments and keep it interesting. Love the tangents and occasional rants along with the English humor.
Thank you John for this talk today, very illuminating for me as a retired nurse. The energy you put into keeping us informed is admirable. How privileged are current health care workers to have you as a resource. How fortunate are we to have access to your calm and interesting lectures in a time when there is much disinformation and many people want to create antagonism online. I see the trolls are out in force as your blogs grow ever more popular. This has been a community i have felt honoured to be a part of for the last year, for anyone new on here take the negative comments with a pinch of salt and treat as a measure of John’s success and enjoy the wealth of knowledge available here. Stay safe everyone.
I haven't seen any friends over the last year, but I now consider you a friend, I look forward to your support, common sense and information, i feel i have made a friend and enjoy reading the comments of your other true followers/friends xx
Thanks nicola we are a good bunch here plus we have a bit of wit and humour and we'll educated on this virus so we don't have any fear thanks to Dr John's calm updates best from Glasgow scotland stay safe nicola 👍
I only read a few comments as if you delve pretty deep in the comment section you come across the Covidiots trying to push their propaganda and expert advice and 100% these people have absolutely zero medical experience and probably don't work at all... Its pretty mad lol how most people think they can even have views on subjects they don't understand at all like it was funny at first but a year into the pandemic it's growing ever more concerning these people are still pushing the nonsense.
Thank you Dr C. A very interesting talk today.👍 When you mentioned the rabbits and the camels in Australia I smiled. So very true. Remember to subscribe everyone... I’m itching to see the 1 million plaque appear on his bookshelf. Cheers to all, have a great day and stay safe.
Hi DJ, nice talk on viral biology. Just to be clear, high transmission/infection = higher virulence probability. In the lab if you want to up viral virulence, you speed up the certainty of viral transmission. When a virus has certain transmission, virulence goes up - eg, it has no need to worry about killing the host. So in a viral pandemic it is worth keeping the number of infections down, to slow transmission, in order to lessen the risk of more virulent strains evolving.
@@maxmorris4562 As soon as you can get a jab, seize the opportunity. Any vax doesn't matter. The faster the rollout the better. It's a big subject but I hope that answers your Q.
@@rodwallace6237 No worries. The mRNA vax's are exceptionally good. There's research ongoing to use them for curing cancer and other diseases. They are also the quickest to develop and modify to new strains. My only downside on vax's is that they should not be over used for young children unless absolutely necessary. Their immune system is developing and different to a teenager/adult. Best to let kids get as dirty as possible, to get their immune system in tip top condition.
Peter A - I completely agree with your second point about children - very wise, and so true. But I can't embrace your first point about the mRNA vaccines, because the jury is still out on those until the the results are in (late 2022). I was reading through Moderna's website, and they refer to their mRNA product development, as an 'operating system' (quote)... able to receive 'Apps' (quote).... and upgrades. Sounds very much like the phone in my pocket, or windows on my PC! Whichever side of the fence individuals are on, regarding GMO, this is certainly a pivotal moment in humanity and our evolution into a new technological era.
Thank you as always Dr. Campbell. I know this is a serious channel, and the effort you put into your uploads is greatly appreciated sir. Really tired of this current situation, and I want the mutations that lead to people getting super powers!😎
Boot burner, why don't you toddle on over to fox News or somewhere you'll be appreciated. Your harassment won't fly here, we all know Dr. John's background and appreciate his hard work keeping us informed
@@bootburner4544 You really are a scardey little worm, whats really going on is that fools like you get to spread pointless idiocies without ever being responsible for those you hurt, anonymous and virulent, a pandemic of liars with no end in sight
@@bootburner4544 Not too bad mate, what are these "freedoms" I have lost then? I was "warned" was I? About what? That crazy people like you would be flipping out cos they couldnt go to the pub? Enraged because they couldnt descend on small Med islands, get blind drunk and trash the place? That I wouldn't be woken up in the early hours by planes descending to Heathrow a few hundred feet over my head? That the air around me would be cleaner? That they would lock up the park behind me at night so that the drunken crazies couldn't scream their heads off till the early hours? That I could work from my living room and not get crushed on a train for an hour each way every week day? Brexit is causing more damage to my life - you know where to stick your warnings you strange little man
Thanks Dr John, I’m definitely not a scientific person but I follow all your talks with interest. This one tried to go over my head but that final diagram made it all fall into place. (Just so long as I don’t have to sit any exams☺️)
Think of each of us as a Petri dish. The more Petri dishes exposed to the virus, the more opportunities there are for genetic mutation. If fewer Petri dishes are exposed, there are fewer total viruses in existence, less replication, and therefore fewer mutations will arise. This is how social distancing, mask wearing, and lockdowns prevent mutations-there are fewer Petri dishes exposed to the virus. For those unwilling to be vaccinated because they “don’t want to be a guinea pig”, they are unfortunately already part of nature’s experiment. They’re volunteering to be a guinea pig in the control group.
@@MarcosElMalo2 through I’ve been suggesting to friends to follow John for verifiable information. Some gave, some I recap info that they will find useful
(Was trying to correct a spelling mistake) some I share the videos. I sadly know of fractured friendships where one side is adamant they are refusing vaccinations. They cannot be talked around but accuse those of us already a vaccinated as being responsible if they do catch it. As I say there is no reasoning with them and we all make our own choices. My second is due in a few weeks.
Maybe you should read the open letter to the European Medicines Agency. The main author is Dr Sucharit Bhakdi many world renowned scientists as co authors. This human experiment has the potential for complete disaster.
3:22 I love that the bird flies right by his window as he says: _"All life on Earth being remarkably similar."_ I see and hear you my winged fellow Earthling.
Thank you John for giving credit to Alfred Russel Wallace for his independant work on evolution through natural selection and to Charles Darwin for having the grace to acknowledge that they had come to the same conclusions and so agreed to jointly publish their papers on this new and controversal theory.
@@jennywren8937 lol I can just imagine it now: "Now you two, play nicely together... Stop your arguing and admit that it was a joint effort! Don't you agree Mrs. Wallace?" "Yes I do Mrs Darwin. Now play nice and go write your acknowledgements. Remember, be pleasent... No snyde, or back handed comments you two... I'm looking at you Charles... Is that clear?" "Yes dear!" "Aww... But Charles is always really mean to me and never let's me..." "What was that? What did Mrs. Darwin and I just say?" "Nothing... Er?... I meant, yes dear!" "Good boys!" 😋
@@markusmaximus6636 Really? I have another unsourced theory that there was hanky panky between the Wallaces and the Darwins, and someone took screenshots. No, that can' t be right.:))
Another great update Dr john thanks for the fantastic information very interesting chat best wishes all from Glasgow scotland keep up your safety protocols all remember your vitimin d best from Glasgow scotland 👍
In the end when you mentioned boosters, I was 'whew' from this 😟 to this😲 Thank you again, you deserve the gold medal 🏅 for 'relaying FACTS' during this confusing pandemic!!
Some people are natural educators and are able to explain complicated subjects in easily assimilated ways that others can't. No prizes for guessing which camp Dr John Campbell falls in to.
The truth is there is no Sars2 virus, no pure isolate of it exists anywhere www.fluoridefreepeel.ca/fois-reveal-that-health-science-institutions-around-the-world-have-no-record-of-sars-cov-2-isolation-purification/ The so called variants should be taken with a pinch of salt though the vaccine companies will have a new vax for every variant
@@PravinDahal basically no political view. If you look at the EU and vaccines esp the oxford one.. where they ..lets just say 'poo poo' it. Its not based on science but on a political move to hide the EU's fails on getting this virus vaccine. Its just refreshing to see someone explain the science of it without giving their political view. Major medical institutions like the WHO seem to be governed by Politics NOT science.
@@jobearesto9746 Pharma politics exists and they decide how these agencies operate because they have them by the balls. AZ vaccine did it wrong by making the non-profit pledge, which is biting them on their asses now, because competitors who intend to make enormous profits are willing to invest some more on their PR budget, mostly to stain the much cheaper competition. The nurse guy here is also held by the balls. Pharmaceuticals will immediately come after his RU-vid channel, his reputation and potentially his pension if he actually addresses this. So, he sidesteps it by saying "it's bizzare, I don't get it" or something to that effect... and keeps himself on their side by spinning everything to be pro-vaccine in general. I believe that he believes what he says and I don't doubt his honesty... but if he wasn't held by his balls, I'm sure his beliefs would be more aligned with reality.
@@PravinDahal You actually have it somewhat backwards. Oxford originally was going to partner with Merck, a world-leading vaccine producer/distributor (and the originator of the technology Oxford is using). They however chose AstraZeneca who had very little experience instead because of the potential to earn more money in the long run with AZ (reportedly 6% royalties vs 1%). Another reason given was that Merck is an American company while AZ is a British company and they were worried about how that might impact deliveries to the UK. (It’s a shame that the E U wasn’t as wary of that issue).
Dr John: A lot of people have been talking to me about virul mutation Me: A lot of people have been talking to me about vacuuming, drinking and Amazon packaging
Great video John, be nice to have guests on to talk about this in greater detail, heard one doctor say what terrifies him is if one of these variants takes hold and then starts hospitalising people in big numbers who have 2 doses of vaccine.
????Dr John - Have you heard from Dr Tess Lawrie recently? Would be interesting to hear news of her meta-analysis progress. Thank you for your explanation on the variants. Found it very informative. You do a very important educational service thank you for your conscientious efforts and time.
@@brianfretwell3886 For at least two years, security experts at Google and other, more neutral sources have all agreed: do not trust sites that cannot give you a secure connection. So this is another example of how untrustworthy daver ok is!
Thank you for making it simple to understanding this crazy changing and dangerous predicament we are in. My wife and I got our first jabs a while ago with no reactions in either her Phaser or mine Aztra vaccines to date. We are now waiting to be given the second jabs hopefully within the twelve weeks period. London. UK.
He forgot the bit about coronavirus hybrid strains. not all mutations are about single letters changes some of them can rewire half the virus through a single host. If two different viruses get sucked through the ribosomes at the same time.
Love you Dr. John. You are a rockstar. I go to bed every night listening to your voice. You are the Edward R. Murrow of this modern day war. You deserve some reward when this is over for your perseverance and tenacity for keeping us informed.
Although worrying, this must be one of the most important videos you have done, along with the one featuring Dr. Lawrie's research on Ivermectin. Thank you.
Yes still wear mask... With zero evidence proving significant benefit in redusing spread... Why follow scientific method and empirical evidence.. When you can follow religion of safety.. Pls you are always welcome to prove me wrong.
Well presented explanation of mutations/ infection process. Dear John , I would like a but more explanation about the spread of mutations through vaccinated populations, if possible. Thank you. Cheers from Canada.
Thank you so much for the information! I asked a question in the comments the other day and this video explained everything. Thank you again for all your research and dedication!
Dear Dr. Campbell, Thank you for your clear and understandable explanation of how this virus is spreading. For a long time, I wondered as to how, with people seriously following the health department guidelines, the virus seems to keep on spreading anyway...like it has a "mind of its own." I kept asking, Why? Your explanation really helps. There are people I know, who have quarantined this past year, always ventilate their apartment, wear masks, hand sanitizers; who make one little mistake: go out to do something, and end up in the hospital. It seems so unfair. Your diagrams showed how easy it is, to catch the mutated virus from breathing the air. How bad the result will be depends on whether the person is vaccinated (with immunity built up over several weeks)...or not vaccinated.
Early in Texas. 1:56 am in Austin and 62 degrees Fahrenheit going to get up to the mid 80’s this first week of spring. Be summer probably next week. Better than the winter couple weeks back. My wife got her first jab a week ago and is fine. Hopefully get mine soon, been waiting awhile. So good to see the Doctor this early. Good day all.
Fred Chapman, There is an old saying here: If you get tired of the weather In Texas, don’t worry it is about to change. I have lived here my entire adult life after living in Europe in the early 60’s, the Far East in the early and mid 70’s and all over the states between. That saying is quite true. But this winter that shut much of the state down took the cake and tossed it out the window. In my household we were fortunate in that we had power but no water. Many did not have either. I had to get my 96 year old father in law as he had no power or water and his house was cooling rapidly with the temp outside at ~20 f. with 2 feet of snow and ice on the ground in central Texas. Fortunately I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The high wind had drifted the snow to 4 feet on the empty highway. When I left to get him I didn’t know if I would make it. I was not scared, but worried about my family and just kept moving forward. I have lived through blizzard in a tent In Yosemite where I worked at the ski lodge. But this was bizarre. 2 inches of snow once every couple of years, yes but 2-4 feet with ice and high wind not in Austin. We had to collect snow and ice for the better part of the week for toilet and dishwashing. Then we had to boil the water for several days when it came back on. And we were the lucky ones. Sorry that got long quick.
@@Claytone-Records that's so interesting to hear from someone who went through that. It's better than getting it from the news. Hope everything settles down now and you can get some sunny vitimin d. All the best from England. 🏴🇺🇲
Fred Chapman, Hi there, Fred. I was on the roof clearing branches and wet leaves off today for 3 hours, but will still take my D3. We have many huge trees in Austin and it is not very much like the rest of what people think of Texas in many ways. It is one of the greenest cities in the country. And that winter storm brought a lot of trees down. Huge trees come down everywhere, on houses, block streets. We first had an ice storm that coated every exposed surface. Then the wind came and the branches and huge oaks started falling and then power lines started outages the first night with the thick ice. Saturday the snow started with more wind and ice Sunday. Monday most of the State was shut down and nobody went to work for most of the week. Austin, Houston, Dallas and hundreds of small towns started losing power that first night with the ice. I have lived on a small island for five years and we would get hit by a couple powerful typhoons every typhoon season. I have forgotten most of them, but I and my family and many thousands actually millions will never forget about this winter. We are grateful to be able to tell the tale.
Thank you for this. This is exactly why I started really paying attention to this virus when we first found out about it, and have had to explain this to so many people throughout this year who were so convinced that it could only become less virulent because "thats how viruses work". It is so nice for people with better platforms to explain it, and as always, you do a wonderful job!
It’s a bad point for misunderstanding. The tendency towards less virulence might take decades or centuries to unfold. It’s better to think of there being an upper limit or ceiling to virulence. A virus that kills its host too quickly won’t be able to replicate and be transmitted for very long, and will burn itself out. However, a virus with a high rate of transmissibility has a higher virulence ceiling. With high transmissibility, there isn’t as much selective pressure on virulence.
Thank you, sir, for your incredible work! It wasn’t hard at all to understand your explanation - very biological but also very clear and interesting. You do an amazing job! My regards from Brazil.
I wish my teachers at school had been able to explain as well as you. I love this science stuff but after a certain point I need it explained rather than reading an ‘age appropriate text book’ and they just couldn’t do it.
At university I had a course called communications. The teacher was awful and could not articulate. Irony of course she was teaching communications, but couldn't communicate. Dr John does a good job getting his message across
Dr. Campbell, when this pandemic is over (well, the virus controlled or eradicated anyway), I hope you'll continue doing these videos on other topics in medicine for the general public like this!
