YouTube to Censor All Defying World Health Organization By Brian Simpson

Big Tech censorship continues, but what is interesting is that the focus now seems to be explicitly upon “medical misinformation,” which means anything contrary to the World Health Organization, the dictator of “truth” on all medical issues in the New World Order. What is going on in the background here is that we are fast moving into Covid plandemic 2.0, as covered in posts at the blog yesterday. It will be a repeat of the last few years, if one of the strains proves to have “teeth.” We can be sure something will fall off the shelves in the numerous bioweapons labs, perhaps in the Ukraine.

Running along with this is the World Health Organization pandemic treaty, which is set for signing in 2024, prior to the US election, so the US election can be stolen for the Democrats once more, right under the noses of conservatives. All the pieces are now being put on the table to fall into place in the globalists’ continual diabolical plan.

“YouTube has introduced a new “medical misinformation policy” that will censor any medical or health-related content that doesn't align with claims made by the World Health Organization (WHO).

YouTube earlier had a “COVID-19 Misinformation Policy” webpage that stated that the platform doesn’t allow any content that “poses a serious risk of egregious harm” and spreads “medical misinformation” contradicting what the WHO or local health authorities (LHA) say about the COVID-19 pandemic. The webpage now redirects to a “medical misinformation policy” page that expands the censorship rule to “specific health conditions and substances” rather than COVID-19 alone.

YouTube stated that the policy could be arbitrarily enforced, as it “may not cover” all guidance from the WHO or LHAs related to “specific health conditions and substances.”

In an Aug. 15 blog post, YouTube wrote that it wants to “make sure there is a robust framework to build upon when the need for new medical misinformation policies arises.”

“We’ll continue to monitor local and global health authority guidance to make sure our policies adapt," the post reads. "We want our approach to be clear and transparent, so that content creators understand where the policy lines are, and viewers know they can trust the health information they find on YouTube.”

YouTube asked creators to avoid posting content on the platform that contradicts health authority guidance on the prevention or transmission of certain health conditions “or on the safety, efficacy or ingredients of currently approved and administered vaccines.”

Content that contradicts guidance on treatments, including promoting “specific harmful substances or practices” not approved by authorities or the WHO as safe and effective, also won't be allowed on the platform.

Any content that “denies the existence” of certain health conditions would be banned as well.

The new policy is being criticized for suppressing the free flow of information. Author Michael Shellenberger pointed out that YouTube’s new policies “will censor you if you disagree” with the WHO.

“YouTube recognizes that WHO's ‘guidance’ might change. But if it does, it won't be because of debate on YouTube. YouTube isn't a social media platform, it's a propaganda platform,” he wrote in an Aug. 16 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Imagine if YouTube had been around over the last 200 years. It would have banned criticisms of blood-letting, thalidomide, lobotomies, and sterilizing the mentally ill, all of which were recommended by official health authorities.”

Vaccine Misinformation

Claims that vaccines cause chronic side effects “outside of rare side effects” recognized by health authorities would be deemed as “vaccine misinformation” by YouTube.

This includes claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine could cause “death, infertility, miscarriage, autism, or contraction of other infectious diseases.”

The policy stands in contrast to recent studies that show that COVID-19 vaccines could result in death. In June, a study funded by the South Korean government showed that after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, eight people died suddenly of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.

All the sudden cardiac deaths occurred in people aged 45 and younger. One of the victims was a 33-year-old man who died just one day after he received the second dose of the Moderna vaccine. Another case involved a 30-year-old woman who died three days after getting her first dose of a Pfizer vaccine.

Any content claiming that herd immunity through natural infection is safer than vaccinating the population will also be classified as “misinformation” by YouTube. Other such “misinformation” includes claims that vaccines don't reduce the risk of contracting illness and that vaccines could alter a person’s genetic makeup.

The new policies "apply to videos, video descriptions, comments, live streams, and any other YouTube product or feature,” according to the YouTube post.

“These policies also apply to external links in your content. This can include clickable URLs, verbally directing users to other sites in video, as well as other forms,” the post reads.

Abuse of Power

In his X post, Mr. Shellenberger pointed out that opposition to bad medical or health advice usually comes from outside of these professions. By disallowing criticism of the mainstream narrative, YouTube’s new policy risks triggering “gross abuses of power.”

It's also “an attack on free speech, science, and democracy,” he said, noting that “this is all part of the WHO’s master plan to censor the world.”

The WHO has also faced criticism for colluding with the Chinese Communist Party, especially during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the organization repeated the regime's talking points.

The WHO downplayed the effect of COVID-19, which eventually spread to 229 countries around the world with a death toll of nearly 7 million people, excluding China.”

“YouTube has created a new framework to crack down on so-called "medical misinformation" on the platform.

"In the years since we began our efforts to make YouTube a destination for high-quality health content, we've learned critical lessons about developing Community Guidelines in line with local and global health authority guidance on topics that pose serious real world risks, such as misinformation on [Wuhan coronavirus] COVID-19, vaccines, reproductive health, harmful substances and more," reads a blog post written by YouTube. "We're taking what we've learned so far about the most effective ways to tackle medical misinformation to simplify our approach for creators, viewers and partners."

YouTube's new policy will streamline its existing policy into three distinct categories, which would make it easier in the long-term for the platform to suppress medical information.

The three types of so-called medical misinformation that will be censored are "Prevention, Treatment and Denial."

YouTube will censor anyone contradicting health experts

"Our goal is to ensure that when it comes to areas of well-studied scientific consensus, YouTube is not a platform for distributing information that could harm people," wrote the company.

What this means is that YouTube will remove content contradicting or in any way questioning the "guidance" from local, national or international health authorities on the prevention and transmission of certain conditions, including vaccinations.

YouTube will also start taking down content that contradicts the so-called health experts regarding the treatment for certain conditions, including videos that allegedly tout "unproven remedies" in place of seeking care at hospitals. This also includes content that denies the existence of certain conditions, including COVID-19.

The platform noted that its new policies "will apply to specific health conditions, treatments and substances where content contradicts local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO)."

"To determine if a condition, treatment or substance is in scope of our medical misinformation policies, we'll evaluate whether it's associated with a high public health risk, publicly available guidance from health authorities around the world and whether it's generally prone to misinformation," reads YouTube's blog post.

Along with targeting so-called medical misinformation about COVID-19, YouTube will also be targeting alleged misinformation regarding cancer treatments. The company said it will begin to remove "content that promotes cancer treatments proven to be harmful or ineffective, or content that discourages viewers from seeking professional medical treatment."

This includes content that promotes so-called "unproven treatments;" treatments that claim to be guaranteed cures; and treatments that have specifically been blacklisted by health authorities. Among the examples YouTube noted include claims regarding garlic and vitamin C and their ability to deal help the fight against cancer.

Along with removing all content questioning the medically-approved treatments for cancer, YouTube will also begin promoting cancer-related content from so-called "authoritative sources" like the Mayo Clinic and the WHO.

The change in YouTube's censorship policies marks a substantial escalation in the platform's ongoing campaign against anything it chooses to consider "medical misinformation."

The platform's updated policies also come a few years after YouTube initially strengthened its approach regarding so-called medical misinformation during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the censorship of over one million videos in the span of a few months over allegations of COVID-19 misinformation.

Last year, YouTube cracked down on videos containing alleged misinformation regarding abortion and took down videos it deemed to be unsafe.”
