"John Lorimer Campbell is an English YouTuber and retired nurse educator known for his videos about the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the videos received praise, but they later veered into misinformation.[2] He has been criticised for suggesting COVID-19 deaths have been over-counted, repeating false claims about the use of ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, and providing misleading commentary about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines (emphasis mine).
As of June 2023, his YouTube channel had 2.8 million subscribers and over 653 million views"
In this video, he takes the linked, published paper, and walks through what it contains. Repeatedly, he suggests one look at the paper itself, and validate what he's saying.
This tends to be his style, and after reading the wikipedia discussion page, I do wonder how much of his "misleading commentary" was "he said something not in line with official stances re: COVID".
From the Wikipedia talk page:
This article oddly references "American comedian" and podcaster 4 times as having referenced a Campbell video to make unfounded claims. Aren't these issues better suited to an article about Jimmy Dore? If, as this article claims, Dore is making false claims, why does it belong here? Flat Earthers have used Flight Aware images to bolster their claims but Wikipedia doesn't include that in the FlightAware article.
I have edited Wikipedia articles before, only to have every edit reverted, only to have gatekeepers leap in and refuse change, even mild changes. Regardless, whether or not the gatekeepers of the Wikipedia page are correct, the accusations against Campbell are not relevant to the paper in question.
