I had this done a few months ago and kind of forgot about it. This POS has become a RW hero because of his lies. If ever a last name was fitting, this fellow is vying for a prize. I hope he gets the FAFO one myself...
UPDATE 1 More on blood clots https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/forum/main/comment/ce5f132a-1c8c-4416-9d4c-a6bb2922d8ae
UPDATE 2 Misinformation continues jhhj
Anti-vaxxer John O'Looney, a funeral Director who said COVID was 'just a common cold' now admits COVID is real after being taken to ICU in late 2021. He had become a leading anti-vaxxer with social media videos about the pandemic.
In the beginning
He was just "trying to help" the poor buggers who could not afford his funerals... 'I'll cremate for half the price!! Come one, come all! https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/people/funeral-director-demands-help-for-people-struggling-to-pay-for-funerals-of-loved-ones-in-milton-keynes-2531003
This is he at 55, in recent videos to stay a relevant ‘antivaxxer hero.’ In my view, he looks 75 and 80. So many of these a'holes tend to look 15 years or more years older than their actual age even BEFORE their COVID ordeal.
His ICU visit meant he missed 'Let the UK Live' rally with Piers Corbyn, brother of former Labour leader Jeremy, even though he urged followers NOT to go to hospital if they catch COVID. The failed 'freedom rally" mistook a test-and-trace centre for a vaccine centre and ended up disrupting a pantomine performance instead. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/john-o-looney-piers-corbyn-anti-vaxxer-covid-vaccine-coronavirus-162233353.html
John O'Looney admits COVID is real
O'Looney said he would still 'urge people to avoid hospital at all costs' and that he managed to 'escape' by discharging himself against doctors' advice. Here’s a statement he supposedly made, relayed by the person, that Looney could barely breathe and the hospital was trying to kill him. I have questions. Why was he not in his hospital bed and how does a loon expect to be treated medically when they are literally at the exit trying to leave when they HAVE COVID! The UK was already overwhelmed at that point, you selfish dipshit and not tasting or smelling is a typical COVID symptom you ignorant SOB.
He claimed doctors offered a trial drug, but he "declined and stuck to my guns" before discharging himself against doctors' advice. "I feel very fortunate to have escaped hospital (I never dreamt I would have lived to say that) with the help of family in friends," he said. I want to know why he didn't pull off his O2 mask...and why he went there in the first place. This post is absolutely bonkers. Between his cognitive dissonance and COVID trying to kill him... he is lost in some lala-land where the people trying to help him must save him but are also trying to kill him.
It became real ONLY after he got it, because everyone he contacted on Fecesbook and in his ‘research’ were just like him! He regrets not being well enough to attend the rally, because his people are his lifeline in his alternate universe. (And where else will they turn to for advice? Actual science? Doctors? F that when you have a know it all funeral director!) "I wished I could be with you but it has actually exhausted me even just dictating this message to you all...Please appreciate this time I have to focus on myself and my family and it had been a rollercoaster of pain at this time.”
“The funeral director has become a figurehead for anti-vaxxers with his social media videos that make unproven claims about the pandemic and vaccines. In a video shared with followers just weeks before he was hospitalised with COVID, he falsely claimed that the Omicron variant was just a cold. He said: "We're in winter and there are colds and flus about at this time of the year. These people [who have been vaccinated] can't fight it off. The government were very quick to label it as Omicron, a new variant." https://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/people/milton-keynes-funeral-director-whos-an-avid-anti-vaxxer-ends-up-in-hospital-with-covid-3514225
Illuminating...
A torch in the UK is a flashlight.
Fact checking a funeral director playing a Doctor...
I am reluctant to add the video being fact-checked as the POS may get money per click. Instead, here is the fact-check only. https://fullfact.org/health/funeral-director-interview/
The religious morons in the comments
Here he is at work, BTW...
More a'holes are platforming him recently
Preliminary info: Dr. John Campbell is a nurse with a PHD, not a medical doctor, but an educator that went from being informative and helpful, to slipping down the rabbit hole. He was informative in the beginning (I viewed his videos and recommended him originally.) Ivermectin was the reason everything changed. He made a video about how it seemed to work for so many and instantly he became an antivaxxer hero… and that was it. People from all over the world come to hear him say what they want to hear. With his now millions of views and with so many subscribers he is making bank! (Anyone over 1k subscribers starts to make a penny per view for original content and if you make one or 2 videos a day with higher viewership, it can be more and more pennies per view for his original content. Money, fame and attention got him…as he now gets 5m views a month. Like most grifters, his millions are not enough, so he is virtually all misinformation all of the time now, the disgusting creep)
In order to make more and more money, even though COVID is no longer a top story, how else can he line his pockets but to have any antivaxxer Tom Dick and Harry on his clown show? John O'Looney says he has a moral compasses that makes him speak out… and is desperate for someone to hear him out… "I've got no choice because I have a moral compass that won't allow me to be complicit." He says he sees less clots now because he is sure the bodies are being messed with before he sees them by the coroners and the clots miraculously removed! He insists that he lives now only to be able to testify at the QAnon Nuremburg trials they insist are coming. (I removed the video so as not to give the swine more views)
The video from 4 months ago has comments that sound exactly the same as 3 years ago. It is 2024. Perhaps his moral compass needs adjusting,being the pandemic brought in a lot of extra dead people... and here he is trying to make even more business.
Here is a 'critique' of that ludicrous video
The first part discusses Stew Peters (Anti everything failed rapper, failed bounty hunter, far-right racist, bigot and nationalist, fake religious radio host advancing his own conspiracy theories and flat earth nonsense) and the demon doctor in Died Suddenly... and reminds that these people are being trusted to give factual information to fellow antivaxxers. The last part discusses Mr. Loonypants.
Another creepy antivaxxer helped him elevate the misinformation
Looney’s “friend” and fellow conspiracy theorist, Mark Sexton, is an antivaxxer, liar and retired police officer who “helped” him almost die when he left the hospital … and says it was not confirmed to be COVID. (He likely also had pneumonia, so that would seem conflicting" to these know-nothing numbskulls) Mark does not believe in COVID… and said he saw no evidence of a pandemic. He also tried to get vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi arrested. (I wish we could make these people “volunteer” to fill body bags in a pandemic) https://www.stratford-herald.com/news/anti-vaxxer-tries-to-get-vaccine-minister-nadhim-zahawi-arre-9204968/
And a reminder here of what Looney himself said:
Sexton is a loony as Looney!
When you read about the loons in the UK streets being assholes, think this guy, because he is likely one of them.
Mr Oh'SoLooney seems to have arrived home Dec 24, 2021
Dates differ in reports. In a long screed, Mr O'Looney said that he was still opposed to Covid vaccines and urged parents to take their children out of school to avoid the jab. Excerpts are:
Mr O'Looney told his followers he is still unwell.: “I still feel poisoned in honesty and recovery is slow… Even walking upstairs is a drain and I'm wondering when I will begin to pick up, it's demoralising. That said I do feel better than a week ago, it's just slow going.
“But I need to get back to work and that seems a way off yet sadly. Again, I'd say I actually feel like I've been poisoned - this is my thing but a natural virus and these bastards have a lot to answer for.”
Ummm, WHUT?

I am getting creepy vibes
He was also in the movie "Died Suddenly"
Along side Mr. blood clot himself... Richard Hirschman. The Anti-Vaccine Documentary Died Suddenly Wants You to Feel, Not Think. Clearly, the makers of Died Suddenly don’t want you to do your own research.'
What they forgot to mention in the film is that COVID itself males a massive inflammatory response that can cause huge blood clots and thickens the blood of many people. I made this one into a Christmas ornament, you may recall...
A clot too far:
An embalmer dissects antivax misinformation about blood clots in Died Suddenly. Ge reminds that these POS are not scientists or Doctors and are making assumptions based on NOTHING but their conspiratorial minds. He also reminds that the great numbers of bodies meant more refrigeration, more time IN refrigeration, and more time between death and embalming and other things that cause thicker blood and clots! https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/a-clot-too-far-an-embalmer-dissects-antivax-misinformation-about-blood-clots-in-died-suddenly/
Meanwhile
All this COVID shit damned good for biznezz!
Other funeral homes felt differently...
The POS is STILL lying his ass off
The was in June... note the added weight... https://x.com/toobaffled/status/1800910081833513009
And has a site

UPDATE 2
Reminder: John O'Looney is a LOON!
December 14, 2021, O'Looney doubled down on his mistaken belief about Omicron being a common cold and the vaccine inhibiting the immune system, in a Tweet that did not age well:
WTF from months ago
A right wing fake 'news' site called O'Looney a CORONER! He is a funeral director and embalmer FFS. I am reluctant to give them clicks... but this is a direct headline, should you need to search for yourself. During Embalming Coroner John O’Looney Discovers Alarming Clots in Veins of the Vaccinated.
Also...
John O'Looney still spewing misinfo
Thanks to r/vaxxhappened https://www.reddit.com/r/vaxxhappened/comments/1fb2cim/john_olooney_and_his_jar_of_oyster_mushrooms/
There is no way an embalmer would see what he says he sees. They are not Pathologist or coroner, no matter how many times he lets his podcast guests and other shitty podcasters say he is! Embalmers drain the blood and disinfect the body so that it does not deteriorate and start to smell badly before the funeral/internment.
Yes it is a total fantasy.
What are Doctors doing in his embalming room in the funeral home? To learn more about clots and the reality of why some coroners might see more clots, see main post and Update 1. ALSO, and this POS should know this and be telling the truth, the UK was having to stack bodies and place them in freezer trucks...and leave many too long in the morgue and he says his work doubled so...the blood viscosity changes drastically once a person is dead and blood clots can form. HE KNOWS THIS!! This is one of his first news articles that gave him a taste of "fame." He was offering half price on cremations. Bodies 'could be left at hospital' amid virus finance fears https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52193244
This guy Hirschman was the first to enjoy the notoriety of these lies. Both he and O'Looney say that the people who they saw the huge clots in were vaccinated. How the hell would they know? Here, Richard Hirschman admits he "felt" they were the vaccinated...
"Debate Vaccines"
There us a Vaccine "debate" site on Reddit and many other misinformation sub-reddits. The list of lies O'Loinet spewed here has been refuted many times, and the podcast he is speaking of removed from many sites and yet, this POS added it once again 7 months ago...
Note that this POS also says O'Looney was contracted to the coroner... but I could find NOTHING that corroborated that whatsoever. Embalmers are not freaking coroners FFS. Were there kickbacks then in this supposed 'arrangement?'?
https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateVaccines/comments/1ag463y/john_olooney_funeral_director_seeing_1000s_of/
He is a grifting, lying POS. It makes me sad that so many wonderful people died while assholes like this were spared. BTW, my blood viscosity is increased by edema and inflammation which has been exacerbated by the lovely new autoimmune disease that I acquired from COVID and will have for the rest of my life.
When your veins are not flowing properly/blocked you are at risk for ...guess what ... blood clots/thrombosis (DVT) A 25% increase in blood viscosity makes for a 25% decrease in blood flow. I was thinking of this POS CLOD during my last bout of illness where I could barely move with tree stumps for legs. It also means decreased blood flow to other organs like the heart and brain and now my eyes, sigh. My long COVID is literally killing me.
UPDATE 1
More on blood clots
While reading, you are going to see pictures of blood clots that look more like tissue. This has been known for some time and is attributed to COVID attacking healthy endothelial tissue.
COVID attacks endothelial cells and creates inflammation and blood clots, which means every organ in your body is at risk. IOW, not just the lungs, which remains the main reason people are hospitalized. It is causing damage we cannot see...and Doctors cannot see unless there is a blockage (Myocarditis, heart attack, stroke, DVT, autopsies, etc... )
