I think they call that presentation " Positive Bias" in science circles - oops sorry, you don't like that word do you?
BTW who was the presenter and what are his credentials? Perhaps knowing that would add to the credibility of the work.

This is a useful site which assesses some of the more unverified claims made in the name of medical science. The following link addresses the many unsubstantiated and flawed assertions of the maker of the YouTube video posted above: healthfeedback.org/authors/john-campbell/Mind you, his nonsense will appeal to the gullible seeking confirmation bias.

My brother, who has dementia and who’ll be 91 on Monday, was taken into hospital a fortnight ago after a couple of falls, but until a few days beforehand was walking to the local shops each day for his newspaper and bits and pieces.
He has now tested positive for covid and was moved into a private room, but family can still visit him after a negative covid test and if wearing a mask. My husband drives over each day to visit him for a few hours - I was with him until I started with a nasty cold, which isn’t improving - I’ve tested for covid a few times with negative results.
All of his covid jabs have been much later than ours, by weeks, despite my niece trying to get him booked in somewhere, and has driven him to some quite distant clinics for them. He was finally due to have his booster the day he was taken into hospital.
The current variants seem to have mild effects, but it’s definitely still around and about, so take care!

I had my Covid booster yesterday at the pharmacy. Very easy to arrange and the latest vaccine for the new variant. Slight headache today. I could have had the flu vaccine at the same time but I opted for them seperately.

Perhaps knowing that would add to the credibility of the work. Dr John Campbell is an interesting chap. His background was in nursing and he was a lecturer in nursing before he retired. His title I presume comes from a research doctorate, although I don't know what his PhD was in. In the early days of the pandemic his posts were fairly innocuous and he has a way of communicating that makes things easier to understand. He certainly has an understanding of science. However, later posts have become more and more extreme, although he is always very careful to base things in some kind of evidence and to be circumspect with his comments, which is probably why his posts have not been taken down. They get seized on by those wishing to believe in wild conspiracy theories and heavily shared among those with similar views. My own views of his posts are that they are rarely complete lies, but they do distort the bigger picture by reporting research out of context, or by picking out research that supports a particular view without reviewing the entire evidence base. That would be okay if he actually pointed that out in his videos and set the context, but he deliberately doesn't. Given that he started off as some unknown nursing lecturer with the prospects of a teachers pension ahead of him, my guess is that the money he is able to make via YouTube and other endorsements makes it a profitable path to follow and because he doesn't go all out fake news he can probably justify it to himself in that way. A little more about him here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Campbell_(YouTuber)#:~:text=John%20Lorimer%20Campbell%20grew%20up,from%20the%20University%20of%20Bolton. " He received the Ph.D. for his work on developing methods of teaching via digital media such as online videos.["

We know you're gullible and less than wholly encyclopaedic in your grasp of medical science. No need to keep proving it.

We had flu vaccine in left arm and then covid vaccine in right arm. Even despite regular vaccinations I contracted covid last December while visiting the U.K.; it still was very unpleasant- that was the covid illness although, in fairness, it could also apply to visiting the U.K. so I would prefer to protect against it as any respiratory infections kick off a very unstable asthma response.

You really need to try putting your swivel-eyed loony nonsense on the conspiracy theory forums. I believe there are plenty available.
