Weird symptoms myself. Around about last year I contracted a chronic case of cynicism about everything I heard in the media. Very strange.

69 years old, just getting over my first covid infection, 2-3 weeks ago. Fever for 2-3 days and normal cold symptoms. Still have occasional cough. Not bad at all. I'm overweight but active. Had the first two jabs about over a year ago but won't be taking any more. With the virus becoming less of a threat and the information coming out regarding potential problems with the vaccine, I will not be taking any more Mrna into my body. Appreciate you Dr. Campbell.

How many of those long covid sufferers are vaccinated and how many are not?

[AmazingPhilippines]

Love your balanced medical data discussions and sanity Dr Campbell. The MSM has failed miserably and thus the low trust level in their reporting.

[OceanFrontVilla]

My greatest worry is reinstatement of mandates and coercion for children. As Canadians, we have much to fear.

[ali]

I had it once. No vaccinations. Lots of colleagues and friends who are vaccinated have had it multiple times in the meantime and some of these I've been around while infected and I have not caught it. I'm 33 male, I had leukaemia and am invited to take the flu jab every year as a result but have always declined as I opt instead to eat well, exercise, avoid tobacco and alcohol and sleep as well as I can. I genuinely believe if you're not critically at risk, a healthy lifestyle will preserve your well-being better than most medical interventions. Also I supplement vit D, vit K, zinc and vit c daily. Haven't had a cold for the last 2 years.

I’m a Nurse in the United States. One thing that stood out for me is how much we were told breakthrough cases were very rare yet about 80% of our Vaccinated staff eventually caught covid within 2 months of being boosted. Then the term “breakthrough cases” quietly 🤫dsappeared. No more Vaccines for me.

[jimuren]

Almost done with Covid (first infection)! I'm in my 70s, no vaxx no boost but for over a year I've been taking Vit D3 and Zinc w/ Quercetin. Mild case, so mild I didn't know I was sick for 2 days. Such a relief to FINALLY get my natural antibodies.

[kevinoneill]

So Dr. What you are describing is very similar to a cold. Yes. People can be seriously affected by a cold as well so this should not be taken lightly. Keep your immune system up. Vitamins, minerals, eating healthily, exercise and get your sleep, some people push themselves and don't get enough sleep. Sleep is very important to the maintenance of the body.

[jamesscott]

It's amazing how we've managed to villifie head aches, sore throat & a cough, at the same time as normalising heart attacks, stokes and 'died suddenly'.

[carolynzane]

Really appreciate your work here Dr C. My brother-in-law, who is 65 and runs daily and participates in sprint level triathalons, suffered a stroke 2 hours after his second managed jab. We are in Canada. The doctors and specialists all dismissed the possibility that this could be related to vaccination. He was in good shape and recovered within hours but remains on meds now for the rest of his life. So hard to trust now.

[catherinesyme]

I’m so glad I said no, I can only imagine how those who took it feel with the realisation of what they have done to themselves!

[johnyashm]

I value Dr cambell alot and glad he's detoxing his system. Sad to think he sounded worried for taking somthing he genuinly believed in.
Stay strong Doc, we want you around for many years to come.

Here in Switzerland we have 25% EDs. We had hardly any lock down only at the very beginning and it was not the GPs and hospitals. I saw my GP during the height of the pandemic face to face. My mother in law had 2 operations one a knee replacement and cataract surgery so not vital ops or life saving. So all the other urgent ops and diagnoses went on as normal. Maybe 2 weeks delay here at most. No way the EDs should be 25% because of that. The experts here looked at it and last week they made a brief statement on the news very brief. "They said they have no idea what is causing it..". Nothing to see here.. Yeah right?
Its funny how the very low vaccinated countries don't have the same problem don't you think Dr?
We have had 3 sudden deaths in our group of friends and people we work with. One was only 36 the other 2 under 70 not cv. All had one thing in common. One 3 days after a booster the other withing a couple of weeks of a shot. Plus 2 others who got clots immediately after having the shot.
If you are a Dr you should be looking more into this more deeply. I believe we have all been lied to even the Doctors. I understand in You're profession you trust in what you are told from the WHO, Government experts and you're bosses.
Many Drs have been cancelled due to raising concerns one here in Switzerland was taken to an asylum for 3 days for raising concerns and emailing them to colleges and his so called experts. 10 police came for him at his practice guns out. Someone who received his emails said what he had said was illegal and he was dangerous. The police read the correspondence after the arrest and found nothing wrong with what he said within an hour. They called a psychiatrist who said he had CVD insanity she made it up on the spot then had him committed for 3 days and made him take meds and do test after to prove he was taking them his name is Thomas Binder. Search it.
Something smells rotten and its not a dead fish..

Amazed that fever is not shown in the list of most common symptoms. I got convid 7 weeks ago and had a temperature for the first 2/3 days. 72 years, unjabbed and fully recovered within just over 2 weeks.

[EthanBWeather]

I deeply appreciate your insight, Doctor.

[peterpen]

We Love you Dr. John Campbell. Your videos have helped Millions including me and my Family. May the Good Lord Keep you we Pray.

[willemvanbeek]

Dear Dr.Campbell, i, ve been following your channel since the beginnen of the pandemic. Its always nice to hear someone who knows what their talking about, and comforting. I’m 22 just had my first infection on Holiday in Rome (possibly got it in public transport) it went by really fast, when i woke up i felt flu like, then in the afternoon i got a fever and in the evening (with some painkillers) i felt almost normal. And now the next day it feels like the common cold.
And a friend of mine said he had the exact same corse of sickness.

Best wishes from The Netherlands!
