John Lorimer Campbell is an English YouTuber and retired nurse educator.[1] His Youtube channel grew greatly in subscribers after 2020-2021 when he was promoting fear of COVID and recommending Covid jabs,[2][3][4] before slowly changing his views by the time the jab campaign was over. Since then, he has supported the official narrative on several other issues, like "Monkeypox".[5]
COVID-19
Early in 2020, Campbell's YouTube channel started to focus on the developing COVID-19 pandemic. Until then, his videos had been receiving an average of several thousand views each, but his channel began to receive significant traffic after it started running COVID-related videos. He was recommending strict adherence to the protocols.[6]
Rise in viewership
Between February and March 2020, his channel increased from an average of 500,000 views per month to 9.6 million, mostly from American viewers. By September 2020, his videos had been viewed more than 50 million times. Four years later, his channel had 3 million subscribers and over 750 million views, indicating protection from bans and shadowbans from high up.
Later dissidence
Starting in around 2022, he showed more skepticism about the jabs.[7]
