You called it a cure. It is a treatment. It is a treatment which was approved via the emergency approval process. It has not gone through clinical trials.
That’s why it would be removed. Also, if you monetized the video, it further violates the community guidelines for monetization of COVID-19 videos which apparently are only permitted for authorized news outlets (who through contract sell their own advertising on YouTube for their videos.)

Understandably, some brands are highly sensitive to their products being associated with random COVID-19 videos.

Thanks, kingu. I can see that. Although I would contend that "the cocktail" is essentially a cure, or at least assists the immune system in fostering a cure. Re monetization, that's a separate issue. YouTube is not monetizing most videos that mention Coronavirus, but they are not removing them like they did with mine.

I'm not a doctor, I'm not a researcher, I just love to read lots of junk, which includes scientific papers and reports. And you gain a big skill reading this junk, and that's reading between the lines. From the reports I've read including a couple which are still pending, I say the following...

It's never going to be a ‘cure’, it is looking like a highly effective treatment regime once someone has COVID-19. It will not eliminate it, nor limit the replication of the virus, but is highly effective at putting off the immune system cascade panic at reacting to a disease it doesn't recognize. Viral damage to the lungs is not prevented by this treatment regime; the body's reaction to that damage is more limited.

Note that the findings that it does not limit the replication of the virus means it is utterly useless as a prophylactic. Using the drugs for prevention is, at least as found so far, not an effective course of action. There are some theories which may result in a prophylactic being developed off of these drugs.

It's like calling benadryl a cure for allergies. It doesn't cure the allergy, it reduces the body's reaction to the allergy. It doesn't prevent the allergy, it can be used as a prophylactic to mitigate the effects of the allergy.
