Doctor John Campbell

[king1]

Curious to know peoples take on the good doctor nowadays... 

I know he is/was influential and helped a lot of people make a lot of sense of the numbers in the early days of the pandemic, but from what I am reading some folks seem to think he has gone off the rails a bit...

for example

a bit of a fact checking fail by the looks of it

and this monstrosity of a discussion about a video he produced, number of british deaths from covid, and being called out by the BBC...

which pertains to this article.


yet you can not argue he is popular with millions of followers

we had a bit of a discussion about him HERE


Has he changed?   he seems to have created quite a polarising following, you either love him or hate him... 

I'm of two minds, on the one hand he is assimilating copious amounts of data from multiple sources - no-one can really be blamed for the odd misinterpretation of data and results...  but on the other though, he is portraying himself as a knowledgeable professional in the field, with a wide following, so there should be a certain level of accountability for the information one provides as fact...
