“See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” YouTube and Google are the self-declared arbiters of evil, not truth, and they say evil is any negative information about unapproved gene therapy injections. Consequently, thousands of legitimate doctors, scientists and health professionals are disenfranchised from the world’s largest video platform.
YouTube’s parent, Google, has also de-ranked any material critical of injections or health policies. ⁃ TN Editor
YouTube is taking down several video channels associated with high-profile anti-vaccine activists including Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who experts say are partially responsible for helping seed the skepticism that’s contributed to slowing vaccination rates across the country.
As part of a new set of policies aimed at cutting down on anti-vaccine content on the Google-owned site, YouTube will ban any videos that claim that commonly used vaccines approved by health authorities are ineffective or dangerous. The company previously blocked videos that made those claims about coronavirus vaccines, but not ones for other vaccines like those for measles or chickenpox.
Misinformation researchers have for years said the popularity of anti-vaccine content on YouTube was contributing to growing skepticism of lifesaving vaccines in the United States and around the world. Vaccination rates have slowed and about 56 percent of the U.S. population has had two shots, compared with 71 percent in Canada and 67 percent in the United Kingdom. In July, President Biden said social media companies were partially responsible for spreading misinformation about the vaccines, and need to do more to address the issue.
The change marks a shift for the social media giant, which streams more than 1 billion hours’ worth of content every day. Like its peers Facebook and Twitter, the company has long resisted policing content too heavily, arguing maintaining an open platform is critical to free speech. But as the companies increasingly come under fire from regulators, lawmakers and regular users for contributing to social ills — including vaccine skepticism — YouTube is again changing policies that it has held onto for months.
YouTube didn’t act sooner because it was focusing on misinformation specifically about coronavirus vaccines, said Matt Halprin, YouTube’s vice president of global trust and safety. When it noticed that incorrect claims about other vaccines were contributing to fears about the coronavirus vaccines, it expanded the ban.
“Developing robust policies takes time,” Halprin said. “We wanted to launch a policy that is comprehensive, enforceable with consistency and adequately addresses the challenge.”
Mercola, an alternative medicine entrepreneur, and Kennedy, a lawyer and the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy who has been a face of the anti-vaccine movement for years, have both said in the past that they are not automatically against all vaccines, but believe information about the risks of vaccines is being suppressed.

THIS IS A COUP, IT’S A REVOLUTION! Since the twentieth century, an increasing proliferation of terms has arisen to describe various kinds of actual or attempted unilateral seizures of power. These phenomena, sometimes called “coups with adjectives”, include:[23] Civil society coup Constitutional coup Democratic coup Electoral coup Judicial coup Market coup Military coup Neo-liberal coup Parliamentary coup Presidential coup Royal coup, in which a monarch dismisses democratically elected leaders and seizes all power;[24] for example the 6 January Dictatorship (MY NOTE: NOTICE THE DATE! IN ACTUALLITY IT WAS BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATIONS FORMAL DICTATORSHIP!) Self-coup (autogolpe) Slow-motion coup Slow-rolling coup Soft coup (postmodern… Read more »
Criticising dangerous, untested, rushed through, experimental gene therapies is NOT a ‘social ill’. In fact, I cannot perceive of anything more healthy, more mature and more responsible.

YT is going down fast. It has dealt it’s own decent over several years since the site’s owners/operators began their Draconian policies years ago and continues into the fascist response to any content that does not support the covid lie narrative. No big deal. YT will get what it deserves very soon as they will not be visited, except by very stupid people that represent a tiny sliver of what they need to exist. Move your content to a site like Bit Chute or another open channel where real science and the truth can be told without abatement or harassment.… Read more »

If you’re interested in the Fair Work Commission of Australia’s opinion on Vaccine mandates and the other measures used by various bodies of the Australian government currently, scroll down to [101] Part 2 of the official findings document linked here. https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/decisionssigned/html/2021fwcfb6015.htm?fbclid=IwAR3Rbn6ZuHKhmpj1iLL3vfU8vLQPkxFmz20WDrUwjpKI2Yj3HIV7wgl1Xxs Finally, an official Australian body, ready to tell the truth. Here’s a quote for every Australian out there, verbatim from the report. [182] All Australians should vigorously oppose the introduction of a system of medical apartheid and segregation in Australia. It is an abhorrent concept and is morally and ethically wrong, and the anthesis of our democratic way of… Read more »

Correct. This is a worldwide attempt at a coup d’état.
