I got to "trust a celebrity" ..Then laughed.
YouTube bans all anti-vaccine misinformation.
NYT 35 mins ago
YouTube said on Wednesday that it was banning several prominent anti-vaccine activists from its platform, including the accounts of Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as part of an effort to remove all content that falsely claims that approved vaccines are dangerous.
In a blog post, YouTube said that it would remove videos claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease, and content that includes misinformation on the contents of the vaccines. Claims that approved vaccines cause autism, cancer or infertility, or that the vaccines contain trackers will also be removed.
The platform, which is owned by Google, has had a similar ban on misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccines. But the new policy expands the rules to misleading claims about approved vaccines such as those against measles and hepatitis B, as well as to falsehoods about vaccines in general, YouTube said. Personal testimonies relating to vaccines, content about vaccine policies, new vaccine trials and historical videos about vaccine successes or failures will be allowed to remain on the site.
“Today’s policy update is an important step to address vaccine and health misinformation on our platform, and we’ll continue to invest across the board” in policies that bring its users high-quality information, the company said in its announcement.
Misinformation researchers have for years pointed to the proliferation of anti-vaccine content on social networks as a factor in vaccine hesitation — including slowing rates of Covid-19 vaccine adoption in more conservative states. Reporting has shown that YouTube videos often act as the source of content that subsequently goes viral on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, sometimes racking up tens of millions of views.
YouTube said that in the past year it had removed over 130,000 videos for violating its COVID-19 vaccine policies. But this did not include what the video platform called “borderline videos” that discussed vaccine skepticism on the site. In the past, the company simply removed such videos from search results and recommendations, while promoting videos from experts and public health institutions.

Bummer now you'll need to pull "news" off Facebook

Antivaxers are a lot like 9/11 truthers. They talk the most, they think they're the smartest and most informed people in the room, and they waste their time trying to conform everyone else. Most vegans do likewise, I think the OP hits the trifecta
Unlike 9/11 truthers and orthodox vegans, at least I can respect the opinions of most antivaxers,I just don't respect the fact that they think they're the smartest man in the room
Live your life, best wishes, be happy, and know I really don't give a fuck

many many many of them are of course vaccinated in secret but they like the narrative.
I have said none of those things. Butt hey, they used explosives with silencers to take down building seven, so that proves COVID-19 is an inside job
Whoop whoop whoop
Arguing like a conspiracy theorist is too damn easy. Don't have to say or prove anything, just put a bunch of silly words together and baddafuckingbing, you're a genius
So you are saying "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes"?

I don't give a shit if you, or anyone else has taken the vax. None of my business. Don't know. Don't care.
I'm not anti or pro vax. I'm pro choice and pro liberties.
I have no idea why you waste your time with these idiots defending the vax or your choice to receive the vax. I'm sure you have much better things to invest your time in.
That is Willie.....you still okay by me Punchy.....you always got a spot on the RX bench so long as Im around
Dude still refuses to look at ALL the evidence of Bldg 7 becasue he does not want to shatter his world view. I get it, Willie too old to change at this point.
it does
60% of the country is vaccinated, yet 75% of hospitalizations and deaths are unvaccinated
It's really simple math, it works. Not perfect, but better, simply undeniable
