YouTube Censors Viral Video of Doctors Criticizing ‘Stay-at-Home' Order

I am surprised it took YouTube this long.
[Summit] Deleted after racking up over 5 million views.

YouTube has censored a viral video in which two doctors criticized the logic of whether California’s stay-at-home coronavirus order is necessary.

The video, which had racked up over 5 million views, featured Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi, co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield, Calif.

In the clip, Erickson asserts that there is only a "0.03 chance of dying from COVID in the state of California," prompting him to ask, "Does that necessitate sheltering in place? Does that necessitate shutting down medical systems? Does that necessitate people being out of work?"

Erickson also asked why fatalities were being counted as COVID-19 deaths when other ailments were actually more to blame.

"When someone dies in this country right now, they’re not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke. They’re saying ’Did they die from COVID?'" Erickson said. "We’ve been to hundreds of autopsies. You don’t talk about one thing, you talk about comorbidities. ER doctors now [say] ’It’s interesting when I’m writing about my death report, I’m being pressured to add COVID. Why is that?"

The video was deleted late last night for "violating YouTube’s terms of service."

Earlier this month, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki told CNN that the company would ban any video content that contradicted World Health Organization recommendations.
However, Wojcicki suggested that this would mainly be focused on banning information about fake cures, not questioning of government policy.....

But WHO recommends herd-immunity (for anybody except China).

That's the ticket.

Make up your f'ing mind.

#3 Good thing for China they just bought WHO. Gives them a pretty good grip to detract criticism and curb enthusiasm for lawsuits.

#4 They also remove the UV video from Cedar Sanai. Nothing like digital book burning to keep the narrative heading to the left. Don't they understand that Americans are waking up to the over power grab with the media? Their day in the sun is coming..
