hopefully live version of next vid~

Have you thought at all about doing a video on John Campbell? When you touched on him in this video it was my first introduction to his content, but as time has gone on it's very clear that there's something off there. He seems to be a major favorite among those who are into Jimmy Dore's particular brand of antivax leanings, but unfortunately also seems to have an audience among some regular people because they previously trusted his content and are just trying to make smart choices. It's become pretty glaringly obvious recently that something is amiss because he's continued to hold up weak examples of support for ivermectin while also completely ignoring the recent trial results showing no benefit (at least as far as I've seen). He even did a whole segment based on the findings from a conference abstract (!) that he had to later pull because the authors were going around having to correct people and make it clear that they did not do much more with that project because of how flawed the design was and did not realize the abstract was published that way, etc. But even then his response wasn't clear about the problems with it so it left a lot of room for conspiracy-minded folks to interpret as they see fit (e.g., big pharma conspiracy to suppress ivermectin, etc). As an aside: I actually picked up on Campbell's semi-retraction of that video because I noticed Jimmy Dore had removed a stream after the fact (that I had already backed up) and looking through his videos realized the only segment from it not on youtube anymore was one about the John Campbell video that he later somewhat retracted (as far as I've seen Dore never addressed it on air or did a correction after that, just removed the stream after Campbell did). As another aside: I also have access to Dore's full streams if you ever do another video on him and need anything that isn't on youtube. I actually am the one who originally recorded the clip you used in this video around 13:38 that wasn't on his youtube channel (I had to screen record that one and usually don't so the quality is actually usually better than it is in that one). I saw a few twitter threads with videos that get into some of what Campbell has either misrepresented or ignored in recent months, as well as some by a woman who says she previously collaborated with him until he started ghosting her when she pointed out some issues with his recent commentary (if you'd be interested in seeing any of that let me know and I can dig those up again to send your way). I think it would be interesting to see some of that presented more cohesively and discussed in finer detail because it really does seem something is amiss with this guy but he doesn't fit the same mold as a lot of the others.

I've noticed recently that people I know who are anti-vax or anti-mask are getting a lot of their information from a podcast called The Model Health Show, which is apparently wildly popular (#1 on Apple Podcasts for health & fitness). The host is very good at marketing his views as objective skepticism rooted in science and "suppressed data," and he positions himself as an underdog fighting with reason against the fearmongering of a corrupt healthcare industry (which of course in the US is not hard to do). Despite his popularity, I haven't seen anyone engage critically with the content he is putting out, and having listened to very little of the podcast myself, I'm not exactly sure what rhetorical tricks and "data" he's using, but the whole sham seems closely related to the more toxic areas of the self-help industry. I'd love to see someone investigate the show's relationship to covid misinformation as you've done so brilliantly with Jimmy Dore here.

I wonder if Youtube removed it because their algorithm thinks that Shaun is spreading misinformation, instead of recognizing that he is trying to combat it.

The video seems to be gone?

I was just watching and then the video stopped playing and not it's unavailable :( Edit: it's back! 🥳

Might have misheard or misunderstood, but around 35:55 it sounds like you say "the majority of vaccinated people fall into the vaccine-hesitant camp" - shouldn't this be "the majority of unvaccinated people"?

I mean, I can understand why people like Crowder do it. His grifter content made him a celebrety and a millionair. But Dore?

Denis Lamesch

For your next video, I suggest you look into why people like Dore so easily turn into grifters. I looked at his channel and his anti-vax videos aren't even that mutch more popular.

I’m glad you managed to get the swollen balls story in there, people aren’t talking about the swollen balls story enough

I love how you managed to get, "Of Mice and Men" into this. Also, I have never before heard tinnitus pronounced "tinn-eye-tuss." Idk if it's wrong but it's delightful.

The black text on the thumbnail is a little hard to read. Not an emergency though.
