"John Lorimer Campbell is a British YouTuber and retired nurse educator who has posted YouTube videos commenting on the COVID-19 pandemic since January 2020 on his channel, Dr. John Campbell. Initially, his videos received some praise, but later descended into misinformation, such as the suggestion that deaths from COVID-19 have been over-counted, repeated false claims about the use of the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment,and misleading commentary about vaccine safety. His videos have been viewed more than 550 million times.
Campbell worked as a nursing educator at the University of Cumbria, and has experience as an Accident and Emergency (A&E) nurse. He has also taught health workers in India and Cambodia. He is the author of Campbell's Physiology Notes and Campbell's Pathophysiology Notes nursing-related biosciences text books. A 2011 book review in Emergency Nurse magazine said Campbell's Physiology Notes was "excellent, inexpensive notes on the causes, pathophysiological changes and clinical features seen in disease processes".

In 2008, Campbell established a YouTube channel to provide educational lectures on topics in health science and nursing. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Campbell started to focus on major issues related to the pandemic. Until 2020, his videos received an average of several thousand views each, but after starting to report on COVID-19, his channel began to receive significant traffic. Between February and March 2020, his channel increased from an average of 500,000 views per month to 9.6 million, the plurality of which originated from the United States. By September 2020, his videos had been viewed more than 50 million times. Campbell has spoken of the importance of "a calm and measured approach that is as informed as possible" and aims to assist people in making informed decisions about their health, giving a counterbalance to what he perceived were other persons on social media "spreading absolutely bonkers – and sometimes dangerous – information".

In August 2020, UNICEF's regional office for Europe and Central Asia cited Campbell's YouTube channel as an excellent example of how experts might engage with social media to combat misinformation, citing a March 2020 briefing by Social Science in Action. In an October 2020 interview on DW, Campbell is introduced as "an independent health analyst and one of the UK's on-line authorities on this pandemic."
