The way that our current system is set up, it is clear that a handful of big tech companies working with the government get to  decide who is heard and who is silenced. We look at the case of Dr. John Campbell, who achieved phenomenal success on YouTube, leading to fantastic income (his newly formed company now has more than £1 million in cash). We argue that his success was based on his decision to repeat and amplify government policy on lockdowns, masks, and vaccines while ignoring or understating a lot of actual data and views of subject matter experts such as Sucharit Bhakdi, Peter McCullough, Roger Hodkinson, and others.

We focus on a case where Dr. Campbell dishonestly claims that data on the movement of nanoparticles around the body following vaccination, including to the ovaries, has only just been released. In reality, that data was released in June 2021, and he ignored it at the time. We argue that in the long term, the system will continue to make catastrophic mistakes when well-qualified critics of state policy are silenced, and barely qualified social media influencers are allowed to amplify the government’s agenda.
