YouTube Censors Viral Video of Doctors Criticizing ‘Stay-at-Home’ Order
Summit News ^ | 04/28/20 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 04/28/2020 7:14:22 AM PDT by Enlightened1

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.

The video platform has also set about banning any content that claims 5G cell towers are linked to the coronavirus outbreak.

During an appearance on Fox News last night, Dr. Erickson pointed to Sweden, which didn’t impose any drastic lockdown measures, but now has achieved herd immunity against coronavirus.

And there you go, they are seizing the one outlet where we had a voice still.

And denying or disrupting funding of other sites like BitChute.

It remains to be seen how things go there, but without experiments like this we'd never know.

youtube, Facebook, Google, instagram, “social media” in general are probably part of the deep state so of course are anti-conservative.

The videos are still up on YouTube, but it appears that the views have been reset, so perhaps they took them down and then put them back up?

We now have a news media full of fake news and Youtube censors any critics.

I guess we have arrived at the New World Order.

“Earlier this month, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki told CNN that the company would ban any video content that contradicted World Health Organization recommendations.”

so....they pulled all footage of the Trump presser where he said he was freezing their funding?

The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) jointly and emphatically condemn the recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical society and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19. As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.

COVID-19 misinformation is widespread and dangerous. Members of AAEM and ACEP are first-hand witnesses to the human toll that COVID-19 is taking on our communities. AAEM and ACEP strongly advise against using any statements of Drs. Erickson and Massihi as a basis for policy and decision making.

You Tube has enough offensive stuff that could be censored & isn’t, so why pick on something like this? What those doctors said made sense to me. The crap that comes from WHO is very possibly not to be trusted, so why does You Tube choose to go on the wrong side of things?

New World Order, same as the Old World Order. Facts are seeping out even as the left tries to control the dialog.

I saw it before the SS deleted it. There is no freedom of speech. Youtube is willingly volunteering its time and efforts to help the democrat party.

If you can see the video, do it before Big Brother takes it down.
