The video in question was a seemingly innocuous interview with Mr. Andrew Bridgen, a member of the UK parliament. (Edit: If I got this wrong, please correct me)

It's probably been a long time coming. Good riddance, I say.

  I challenge you to submit one example of Campbell spreading misinformation.

    From Wikipedia: > In March 2022, Campbell posted another ivermectin video, in which he misrepresented a conference abstract to make the claim that it "unequivocally" showed ivermectin to be effective at reducing COVID-19 deaths, and that ivermectin was going to be a "huge scandal" because information about it had been suppressed.

      He referenced the results of a specific study (edit: He presented the study's results exactly "as is", before it was retracted. He isn't a fortune teller). https://archive.ph/UtFuV https://archive.ph/UtFuV

        That paper is "retracted": https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971221009887 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S120197122... IIUC it was retracted before the video was created. So that would be an example of "spreading misinformation" (assuming the ordering is as I think). But further, this is a perfect example of why doctors on the internet shouldn't be making videos from single papers that don't actually say what you might think they say. Most people on the internet are not capable of evaluating these sorts of things.

        I feel like you have completely wasted everyone’s time. When people get it wrong, there should be consequences. You are no longer a reliable source. There’s so many people out there who just keep throwing shit against the wall. “Oh well, I was wrong. Here’s the next thing…” People don’t know what to believe because no one has the time to validate all the unreliable noise.

        I wonder if there's a "nazi bar" equivalent to this particular group of COVID grifters... guy with a "Dr." in front of his name (according to Wpedia, he has a doctorate in... teaching via digital media...? so, not in medicine, which is what one would be excused to be thinking, given the subject matter), speaks in authoritative voice about cherry-picked stuff that "they" don't want you to know about!

        His Ph.D. in nursing is from the University of Bolton (top Google result).

        "He received the Ph.D. [in nursing] for his work on developing methods of teaching via digital media such as online videos." (in the linked Wikipedia article).

        It is disheartening to see what is happening in this thread. Dr. John Campbell is a fine and ethical man. I challenge you to look a little deeper into the subject.
