I'll join in the cherry picking of data and news on how the panademic affected Africa but on the other side.

Africa is a continent of 54 countries at about 4 other territories.
Data in one country is not accurate for the whole continent.
There are countries in Africa that are not having an Issue with COVID, but are having too many people dying from malaria, cholera, and other deadly illnesses. They are finding it very disingenuous when pharmaceutical companies want to push drugs they don't need, but are not so generous with the drugs that they do need.
I would feel the same way.

John Campbell is an anti-vaxxer, pure and simple.
An anti-vaxxer? The man has had THREE SHOTS FFS! But the moment he starts to ask questions, and presents PLENTY of information to support his growing suspicions, you folks turn on him because he's no longer preaching the vaccine gospel.
I wish I could say I'm surprised, but honestly I'm not. Doesn't make it any less insane!
This tactic isn't new. The member has made a number of unsubstantiated accusations and claims. This is another one of them by calling Dr Campbell an anti-vaxxer when he has been vaccinated. So a self refuting argument.
Ironically these claims against well-qualified individuals such as Dr Campbell, who has a range of qualifications, come from individuals who have zero qualifications and no knowledge of even the most basic principles in biology and related fields.
A range of false arguments have been made by the same member in other threads which are easily refuted. Here is some of them (but list is very long)
1) Used the seatbelt analogy which has been refuted so many times. He tried to argue that vaccines are like seatbelts... Seatbelts cannot kill you or seriously injure you by the way.
2) Made references to herd immunity which is impossible with SARS-CoV-2. Others did the same thing in other threads. However herd immunity cannot be achieved but it was used as a way to convince as many as possible to get vaccinated.
3) Claimed that SARS-CoV-2 may have existed for long time before becoming pathogenic. No evidence for it whatsoever. In a few words SARS-CoV-2 was here with us long before it was discovered.
4) For some bizzare reason a claim was made that the Cambrian Explosion disproves evolution. I don't know why it was made but it's obviously false as evolution is not a linear process.
5) Tried to argue that the risk from the virus always outweighs the risk from the vaccines. But that's false and tried to peddle the narrative of safe and effective vaccinations.
6) Made arguments about vaccine immunity being better to natural immunity which ha also false. The three larger studies in Israel, New York and California have proven the opposite.
Everything above that was claimed is false. Other members too have engaged in accusations of scientists being anti-vaxxers but all they have proved is that they have no valid arguments and just engage in vaccine apologetics and denialism of reality.

You have said all this stuff before, and several members have responded, but you still keep re-posting the same stuff.
You are also misrepresenting what I previously posted.
What has your post to do with John Campbell's suggestion that we stop, or pause, vaccinations?
Discussion: The excess risk of serious adverse events found in our study points to the need for formal harm-benefit analyses, particularly those that are stratified according to risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes. These analyses will require public release of participant level datasets.

I did not make this video, but I find it very interesting that it would show up in my feed this morning, because he quite accurately viewed Dr. Campbell exactly the way I did. I also have to agree, that I find it admirable for him to be able to recognize, and to be able to speak to his errors of the past.
He may be a nurse with a doctorate, but being a nurse myself, I can say with all honesty that almost every doctor I work with looks to me for guidance, because of my specialty, skill, experience, and knowledge. I perform a service that they are not educated in. And I sure as hell would believe what he says over Bill Gates, the government, or the pharmaceutical companies that have no medical background at all.

He has several degrees including a BSc in Biology from the Open University, a Masters in Health Science from Lancaster University, and a PhD in Teaching Bioscience to nurses. In addition he has been trained as a nurse and has his first diplomas and degrees in nursing as well as teaching science to nurses.
He has very good qualities as a person and in addition he is keen to learn and his background is very diverse. Clearly someone you can trust as he is not dogmatic.
The irony is that all those who try to criticise him in these threads or online have no degrees, no experience and no knowledge of pretty much anything.

And the opposite can be claimed, that those who embrace his theories on vaccines are not experts in vaccines, including this doctor.
