Unfortunately John Campbell has gone to the dark side a few months ago and no longer presents unbiased science.

So many people make appeals to ‘science’ as if it’s some big monolith hanging in the sky. This is the first article I’ve come across that isn’t just a qualitative piece of propaganda designed to scare me. I appreciate actual statistics and ‘science’ that I can investigate. I’m a trained scientist and I’m struggling to find proper analyses that I can read with regards to this vaccine. Every time I hear a politician tell me “you have to be vaccinated because you have to be vaccinated” it just pisses me off so much. I try to be rational, and I can’t make a decision just because I’m scared. Give me the science and statistics please leaders!
It sounds a lot like you're saying "this scientist used to say things I agree with, but now he says things I disagree with, so you should ignore him now."
