I had no immediate plans to make another video addressing @Campbellteaching's misinformation, but his "Freedom of Information Revelation" is beyond the pale.

At least 131,372 individual died from Covid-19 in England and Wales by September 30, 2021. Dr. Campbell and others focus on the 17,371 of those who died without any pre-existing conditions, devaluaing the deaths of the 114,001 killed by Covid with common preconditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, etc.
