Dr. John Campbell Covid-19 Coverage 12-20-2021

Dr. John Campbell has become my most trusted source of info on the CCP Virus.

If you're not following and listening to Dr. John Campbell and you're interested in reasonable and apolitical explanations and data about the virus, I recommend you check his channel occasionally. I believe that Campbell is a nurse with a Phd. His explanations are easy to understand, and while he is focused on the United Kingdom and Europe, he always explains how he expects what he's seeing there to translate to the USA. Yesterday I listened to this talk about Omicron. From my aging memory, the key things I took away were:

Omicron is more likely replicate itself more in the bronchial passages, where other mutations of the virus multiply lower in the lung. The result is more bronchitis than the pneumonia common with previous mutations, and because this one is in bronchial passages, this one is more communicable from just normal breathing.

Omicron is more contagious than the previous mutations, but less virulent. So you are more likely to catch it, but it is not as serious for most people. However, this one is spreading to so many more people that the net result in raw numbers of people with serious health issues as a result may be even higher, despite being less dangerous on an infected person by person basis. I guess the fact that it's less dangerous will be small consolation to the people who do get seriously ill from it or worse.

Omicron is spreading so fast in the UK he thinks they may reach herd immunity in a relatively short period of time. The split in the UK now if 60/40 Omicron vs. previous mutations, with the Omicron number rising rapidly.

Germany has ordered millions and millions of Omicron specific vaccinations. I don't know if they even exist yet. Either this was a pre-order or they exist. Campbell either didn't say or I didn't catch it.

What they are seeing there with Omicron we are likely to see in the US in the next month or two. I wonder if this high number of high profile people (athletes and politicians) testing positive is a result of the new Omicron variation? I don't know.

Campbell's videos give these type explanations daily. He gives good news and bad. I have heard him agree with government officials and also draw different conclusions, although he is diplomatic when he differs so as to not offend the YouTube and other social media censors who would presume themselves more knowledgeable and qualified than he to understand and explain CCP Virus issues. I am sure some of you will disagree with him at times because he differs or agrees with government officials. You're entitled to your opinion. I recommend you listen to Campbell and his explanations on their own merit, without the prejudice of those agreements or disagreements.

I highly recommend those of you who want unbiased and thorough explanations of what goes on with the virus, that you watch Dr. Campbell on a fairly regular basis. Here's a link to his YouTube page: Campbell's channel.
