Please please please start to learn what evidence, knowledge and research actually mean. Everything that is a risk from the vaccine is a far far far GREATER risk from catching covid. And understand that crackpots on YouTube do not really know. It is time to get past blind faith and learn to analyse and understand real information.
Well if you watch the video, you will see that Dr Campbell is interviewing an expert, who I must say is being careful to say it's a correlation rather than a cause, but needless to say that these clots are real and undertakers have never observed it before covid.
I would like to see some studies on what material the clots are, it should be super simple to prove or disprove if they are made from misfolded proteins.
I'm glad to see that you understand the difference between correlation and cause. At least that is a start.
I didn't watch the video at the time because as soon as I saw who it was I backed out - at the very least not wanting my watching of it to put more money in his pocket - which is what it is all about. And I also don't want to waste 49 minutes looking at garbage when there is a whole world of proper research out there. I looked at some of that just now and can see that there is plenty being done, and that it is clear that Covid is a dangerous disease to be avoided if possible. And vaccines go along way with protection. I saw a few articles about white clots or white thrombosis, none of which related to specifically to covid or vaccines, apart from the context that covid causes blood clots that cause stroke. One even postulates about "COVID‐19 as a Blood Clotting Disorder Masquerading as a Respiratory Illness". The first author has only 7 published articles but he is the Medical Director of Texas Stroke Institute and is clearly an expert in the field. The journal (Journal of Neuroimaging ) looks pretty reputable. It's impact factor is only 2.5 but that is reasonable for something so specialised. It is 9th best in the field of neuroimaging. These are the kinds of things to look for when analysising information.
So for John Campbell's video. I did go back and have a have a look, and....
Who is this "expert"? Major Tom Haviland. Air Force career, "engineer, mathematician and data scientist and analyst". I'm sure he knows a lot about medicine! He said one theory is that the clots are amyloid protein and that someone else found they were fibrin and platelets. I quickly found an article that says that histopathology showed they were 55% platelets and 31% fibrin (so he had that part right). On jumping through a bit I see he says he has done a survey Dec2023 to Jan 2024. And he has results already? The "survey" isn't listed at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ that I can see. That's enough for me. This video has no credibility and I prefer not to waste any more time on it.
Here's an article that comes from McGill Office for Science and Society so has more credibility https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-...-not-think. It's an analysis of Died Suddenly which is mentioned in the Campbell video. This is the kind of thing you should be reading. NOT John Campbell.
