Responding to comments on my last video, I want to address a few questions to Dr. John Campbell regarding Covid deaths in the UK.

They are pretty simple, and not really clarified by his remarks in his latest video.

0:00 Introduction
1:34 Question 1: Why does Dr. Campbell say that the 17,371 deaths from Covid in England and Wales before October 1, 2021 are "way lower than anyone thought"? What did he think they were, and why?
3:35 Question 2: Why is that number of deaths a "huge story", a story that Dr. Campbell says the mainstream media is unfathomably not covering?
5:09 Question 3: How did Dr. Campbell learn about the report? By his own admission it wasn't covered in the mainstream media. But it was circulated extensively by anti-mandate, anti-lockdown, and anti-vax activists on social media.
5:52 The curious FOI request.
6:52 A timeline of the ONS report and social media amplification
9:29 How Dr. Campbell skates up to the line but is careful not to cross it

▬ Addenum: Not a revelation ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The imporance of pre-existing conditions has been known since the earliest days of the pademic.

- Here's a Danish study from April 2020 showing lower mortality for those without any co-morbidiities. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.11...
