NSW, cases, + 23,131
Positivity, 27.24%
Hospitalised + 140 = 1,344
ICU, + 10 = 105
Ventilated = 27
COVID positive patients admitted to ICU since December 16, delta = 72%
Of those patients, 62% not vaccinated or only one dose
Regional Victoria
It is like our government has thrown its arms in the air
But now it is ridiculous how far the polar opposite we have gone, it is night and day!!!
Now we have a wildfire of COVID here in the Alpine Shire.
Very limited testing, delays on PCR results
Rapid Antigen tests, SOLD OUT !!! can’t get them
A close contact definition, same house, more than 4 hours
I could go on for several paragraphs with further details on how crazy it seems to have become down here in Australia
in the coming weeks I would think we will see an explosion in cases here Victoria & especially Melbourne

Vaccine effectiveness against hospital admission in South African health care workers who received a homologous booster of Ad26.COV2 during an Omicron COVID19 wave
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.28.21268436v1.full.pdf
Ad26.COV.2 vaccine
N = 477, 234 HCWs
6-9 months after first dose
N = 69,092 HCW (evaluated)
VE for hospitalisation (post boost)
Compared to unvaccinated individuals
0-13 days, 63%
14-27 days, 84%
1-2 months, 85%
JCVI, Sir Andrew Pollard,
Fourth jabs should not be offered until there is more evidence
Giving boosters to people every six months not sustainable
At some point, society has to open up.
When we do open, there will be a period with a bump in infections, which is why winter is probably not the best time.
But that’s a decision for the policy makers, not the scientists.
Our approach has to switch,
to rely on the vaccines and the boosters.
The greatest risk is still the unvaccinated.
The worst is absolutely behind us.
We just need to get through the winter.
Misinformation (AZ)
One year ago
Some European leaders
(France and Germany, efficacy on the over-65s, risk of blood clots)
highly likely to have cost lives in Africa
Misinformation risks people’s lives.
It’s highly likely that people became seriously ill and died because of vaccine misinformation
Let’s just say that comments made in mainland Europe affected people in Africa
Dr Campbell, I just want to draw your attention to the fact that when you say Omicron spreading so rapidly is producing "huge levels of community immunity" you say it with no evidence to back this claim up.
The next variant that comes out may evade omicron immunity completely just as omicron evades delta immunity.
Also the population of the UK is almost 70 million. With 400k infections a day as you said, even if it increases exponentially, that still gives it months to spread through the population not just 2 to 4 weeks.
Please address this issue because with all due respect you are spreading misinformation with that claim as there is no evidence for it.
I greatly appreciate the work you do with keeping everyone up to date but it is important to stick to the facts and not get overly optimistic (and then overlooking the potential threat)
UK has decided that if you test positive on rapid test there is no need for a confirmatory PCR test. That will be in the UK the end of any meaningful covid data collection. Individuals would be required to upload their PCR test results which we and they know won't happen.
Just STOP TESTING!!!
just STOP THE FEAR!!!
LIVE YOUR LIVE!!!
❤️❤️❤️🇧🇪❤️❤️❤️
Can we hit 2 million per day?
Who’s paying you to ramp up fear John ??
Today. 2 million by Friday.
I see all the conspiriatalists and A vax are hitting the site, now that you getting 100k subscruptions a day 🙂 They should Stick with Rogan !
New COVID variant discovered in December from a traveler coming from Cameroon into France!!!
The new virus is called,
B.1.640.2 Hasn’t been named yet!! It is another variant of Covid.
What's so funny John?
Thank you as always cobber, 17000 cases in Victoria today & 30000 in NSW but I believe in what you report & thank you for that 🇦🇺👍
9:54. Yah think?
This is now heralding the end of this virus, although it doesn't suit many vested interests, especially Big Pharma, Bill Gates, the WEF and others! Really time that common sense overrules vested interests. Time the world wakes up!
🙏🏾
Country taking extra extra precautions…can they will give new mutation in future??…is that possible….??
Dear Dr Campbell, what are your thoughts on the new IHU variant recently identified in South East France and believed to have been brought in by someone arriving from Cameroon (apparently there are 12 cases so far)? Is IHU likely to be able to compete with Omicron? Is it of concern in light of the news that the British Government is considering waiving the requirement for a negative PCR test before travelling to the UK?
20:33 That's what vaccination does and expected
New poster: No Stopping Covid. Live with it !!
Omicron is a sore throat and running nose……get over it.
Fantastic Report as always
As of 1 January, all trial courts in Massachusetts have shut down for a month due to COVID, so it's also thrown a wrench in the US legal system.
22:11 It should be SAF not SA. Dont shout Yansen Johnson & Johnson
Have the upmost respect for you, you are clear and go in to great detail, Its great to not be scare mongered.
Dr. John, I haven't been sick in a couple years and I'm not vaccinated. I feel that the fact I take a shot everyday of apple cider vinegar, vitamin D-3,iron,and a multivitamin along with my daily medicine of Warifin, fenofibrate160mgs,rovastatin,irbesartan, allopurinol 300mgs. has kept me from getting Covid and it's variants. And I'm considered obese and have COPD ! And have been around two octarians that were diagnosed with Covid yet I never got sick ! So how many people have never been sick from any variant of Covid ?
Knighthood for Dr. Campbell someone that actually makes a positive difference.
How about the "IHU" variant though?
Any reason for ommiting the hospital and icu admission data for New Zealand? Asking only because this data is available. Have been watching on the our local news each day. Is there a bias in data collected in nz or another reason? Thank you again for ur hard work, it has helped so many and will help bring truth to our governments, especially our govt in nz.
With you Ron , country NSW , station open 9-10 am , but will test if people there . Now have vehicles from all over Aust. and 2 cases in different shops where I went in 3 days , none over the last 2 years , seems to be working well ? Pity we can't do the Ivermectin thing , but the president of the ama doesn"t know what it is ( what about the Hippocratic oath ? ) A lot of real Doctors are upset with that !!!
Now in Sweden if you've had covid two weeks prior you are still forced to get vaccinated to get your freedoms back. They're still saying you can get a proof document for having had covid but they're also saying that the positive PCR test required to get one of those documents has to be taken by medical staff at a hospital or healthcenter and they dont do tests there anymore, at all.
Bottomline is in order to get your freedoms back you need to get less protection against covid because somehow that is better and the only diffrence is compliance.
In Australia well over 90% of alleged covid patience were submitted to hospital because of other reasons. Think outside the square, mate!
I'm from South Africa and can say infection are much higher than what the data shows this is due to 2 factor's (1) we have to pay to be tested
(2) poverty .
It cost around R900 to be tested for an average man that just to much and for people that live hand to mouth daily at around R150 it's just impossible to be tested for them . So poverty and the cost of being tested makes it impossible for lots to be tested .
South Africa is now benefits mostly from natreul herd immunity as our vacation rate is low . Every body I know family and friend has by now been sick with Omicron were as with delta only 10% if people I know was sick .
Oh no! Well anyway…
Casedemic – the CDC admitted last year only 6% of covid deaths are "froms" rather than "withs" – open society – protect the vulnerable. Let's end all this fear mongering and tyranny.
28:11 you are so wrong O yes we Need to continue to stop Covid 19 as another new variant is brewing in France Pi
lol… I basically don't go out in public – no fear at all – no transmission either. (I see COVID pts nearly daily) just to lessen risk and reduce my transmission load.. Better to let others cause disease spread, not me. lol..
We will survive this – some not so , others oh-so….DV in situ- oh
WHY don’t you compare these influensa Numbers with previous years Before This masshypnosis?
I know for a fact that in Sweden it is always issues during:
Fall
Winter
Spring
And at least 3000 ppl dying Every year from a flu virus!!
Leta get some perspective, yes? 😱😱
The hospitalization numbers shown here. Are those hospitalizations "with" covid or "for" covid?
Thank you once again Doctor John. * Please note you have nearly lost a screw from your glasses on the right hand side. *
Stop standing as sheep to the testcenters!
Can one believe anything the Chinese report. NO
Thanks you for this update of the omicron-invasion.
I have a question about blood-groups: could it be possible that different blood-groups have a different reaction ?
I heard that, for example, people with bloodtype O are better "harnassed" against viruses in general.
Do you have any info about this in relation to covid ? Thanx in advance ! Greetings Jos,. Amsterdam.
Just getting over it myself, no jab I am good
There is no point getting tested
Brit living in France here: I must have missed something. What's the deal with Macron's comments on vaccines? Are the brits offended that Astra Zeneca was (correctly at the time) identified as less effective than Pfizer and Moderna? I'm pretty sure that I knew that thanks to one of your videos, M. Campbell. Let me know what I missed.
