Welcome

You made it! Take a seat around the campfire. There is much to discuss.

To find pages or info within the wiki, use the search bar in the top right-hand corner, or visit the Sitemap.

We've also begun assembling a list of useful resources, including other wikis, here.

What is this?

Campfire Wiki is a project to document the details and events of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond simply capturing news headlines, the wiki is intended to sift through the layers of propaganda and partisanship laced throughout to extract the facts and record them for posterity. The goal of the wiki is to aggregate good information in one place where it won't be censored, thus adding scale, cooperation, and reducing duplication of efforts.

Here is a list of featured updates to the Campfire Wiki, last updated on January 25, 2023:

The Critical Public Health Value of Vaccines

On April 29, 2021, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine published a book titled The Critical Public Health Value of Vaccines: Tackling Issues of Access and Hesitancy.1) But what about safety and efficacy?

Of course, given that the workshop was hosted by Peter Daszak's Forum on Microbial Threats, it seems unlikely to be an overly useful guide to improve one's health. But perhaps it contains some useful insight to the public health institution's perspective on how to successfully market COVID-19 vaccines to those who may not want them.

Round table with VAERS analysts

Mathew Crawford and Liam Sturgess were joined on the Rounding the Earth podcast by some of the world's top analysts of the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) including Albert Benavides (welcometheeagle88) of VAERSAware, Steven Rubin of MedAlerts, Wayne of VAERSAnalysis, Scott McLaughlin and Josh Guetzkow.

Watch the episode on Rumble, YouTube, Odysee, Rokfin, BitChute or Brighteon.

Model Jeremy Ruehlmann dead at 27

From the New York Post: “Fashion model Jeremy Ruehlemann died at the age of 27, friends and industry professionals announced Sunday. The young model’s cause of death was not revealed publicly.”2)

Why is the project important?

We want to keep track of information on complex topics that is difficult if not impossible for the layperson to discover on their own. We have busy lives and the search for any truth demands full attention and our heady news environment provides an extra layer of challenge. Physicians, nurses, scientists, independent journalists, and more have been censored by the legacy media and Silicon Valley algorithms. The information they have does not reach the eyes and ears of the public and therefore hinders our ability to make informed choices. Those of us who have chosen to participate in this project reflect a similar broad range of skills and insights which we bring to this campfire to produce something together that we could not do alone.

Why "campfire"?

The name of this wiki comes from the metaphor used by Biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying in their Darkhorse Podcast of the campfire not just as a tool for warmth and cooking, but also as “a forge for ideas.”

We have begun this project with the most topical and pressing issue in mind first: the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to it. From the very beginning much of what we were led to believe was incorrect. There is indeed a crowd madness around this subject. From the science on masks, early treatment, and vaccine safety much of the information has been hidden, thrown into the memory hole, and discarded as misinformation. Our knowledge base only grows by pitting ideas against one another publicly to see who has the evidence and argument to support their conclusions.
