YouTube on Wednesday continued to follow the lead of its evil “don’t be evil” parent company Google and announced it would be banning videos that contain what it calls “vaccine misinformation.” The statement itself, ironically, contains vaccine misinformation. The announcement came in the form of a blog post on Wednesday:
Working closely with health authorities, we looked to balance our commitment to an open platform with the need to remove egregious harmful content. We’ve steadily seen false claims about the coronavirus vaccines spill over into misinformation about vaccines in general, and we’re now at a point where it’s more important than ever to expand the work we started with COVID-19 to other vaccines.
Specifically, content that falsely alleges that approved vaccines are dangerous and cause chronic health effects, claims that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease, or contains misinformation on the substances contained in vaccines will be removed. This would include content that falsely says that approved vaccines cause autism, cancer or infertility, or that substances in vaccines can track those who receive them. Our policies not only cover specific routine immunizations like for measles or Hepatitis B, but also apply to general statements about vaccines.
The most problematic aspect of YouTube’s statement, beyond the obvious problem of a social media platform engaging in editorial discretion about what speech it will allow, is the passage on “claims that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease.”
However, there are numerous datasets, current reports, and statements from public health officials that indicate that not only do Covid-19 ‘vaccines’ fail to lower the transmissibility of Covid-19, they are actually a major, if not potentially the predominant, conduit of the “Delta variant.”
A statement from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in late July had acknowledged the possibility of vaccinated transmission of Covid-19.
“Today, some of those data were published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), demonstrating that Delta infection resulted in similarly high SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people,” the report said. “High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus.”
The CDC Director in March had therefore spread her own “vaccine misinformation” in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

“Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials, but it’s also in real-world data,” she claimed.
President Biden himself had distributed vaccine misinformation at a CNN town hall in July.
“We’re not in a position where we think that any virus — including the Delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of non — unvaccinated people — the vi- — the various shots that people are getting now cover that,” Biden said, per the official White House transcript. “They’re — you’re okay. You’re not going to — you’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”
It wasn’t the only time that President Biden had promoted such vaccine misinformation.
“This is a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die,” Biden said, as Poltifact noted.
“That, too, is a slight exaggeration, although hospitalizations and deaths among vaccinated people are extremely rare,” Politifact added in its July editorial.
However, that is no longer the case. The Delta variant has become the predominant driver of Covid-19 and it is taking hold in highly vaccinated communities and showing up in hospital populations where the majority are vaccinated patients. This is a developing trend, but a trend in various subpopulations nonetheless.
“But state-level data shows that milder breakthrough cases that do not result in hospitalization are on the rise among the fully vaccinated as virus transmission increases and vaccine efficacy decreases,” Roll Call noted in mid-September. “And they’re expected to keep increasing.”
It is not only mild or asymptomatic cases that are showing up among the vaccinated, either. There have been thousands of hospitalizations and deaths among the ‘fully vaccinated’ population, as Yale recently reported.
“These cases are extremely rare, but they are becoming more frequent as variants emerge and more time passes since patients are vaccinated,” said Hyung Chun, associate professor of medicine (cardiology) at Yale and senior author of the study published Sept. 7 in Lancet Infectious Diseases.
“As of Aug. 30, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had received reports of 12,908 patients with breakthrough infections who were hospitalized or died,” Yale noted in early September.
More vaccine misinformation being put out by health officials includes none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the NIAID,
Dr. Fauci in September failed to recognized the research that shows natural immunity is as good or superior to vaccinated immunity.
this is called ‘narrative collapse’
Biden’s White House medical advisor Dr Fauci on previously infected Americans and why they should still get vaccinated if shown to have stronger NATURAL IMMUNITY:

“I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that. That’s something that we’re going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response,” Fauci said.
The study, however, is clear, and backs up decades of research on viral pandemics.
“This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity,” the study’s conclusions read.
Specifically, Dr. Fauci and the Biden administration both act like natural immunity to Covid-19 does not exist. On Monday, while getting a presumed ‘booster shot’ at a staged presentation, Biden claimed that 97-98% of the American public would need to get ‘vaccinated’ in order for America to go back to “normal.”
REPORTER: "How many Americans need to be vaccinated for us to get back to normal?"
BIDEN: "97%, 98%. I think we'll get awful close. But I'm not the scientist. I think one thing is for certain. A quarter of the country can't go unvaccinated and us not continue to have a problem." pic.twitter.com/oT0zRXxpJo

BIDEN: “97%, 98%. I think we’ll get awful close. But I’m not the scientist. I think one thing is for certain. A quarter of the country can’t go unvaccinated and us not continue to have a problem.”
The CDC’s own figures estimate that at least 120 million Americans had been infected with Covid-19 by the end of May, thus possessing superior natural immunity. That figure can be projected to be at least 150 million currently, due to the Delta variant wave and the estimate that there are four cases for every one reported.
Thus, even as the survival rate for Covid-19 stands at 99.7%, the case fatality rate is likely to be much lower than is reported: It is approximately 0.5%. The great majority of Americans who got Covid didn’t even know they had it. Therefore, it is highly questionable that they need vaccines, particularly if they can produce antibodies.
Furthermore, at least four times that U.S. government officials lied to the American people that there would not be federal vaccine mandates because they are unethical or otherwise not the role of government.
Thus, according to YouTube’s standards, it should be banning videos from President Biden, Dr. Fauci, CDC Director Walensky, the CDC, FDA, NIAID, NIH, and other government agencies that demonstrably misled the American people with “vaccine misinformation.” Or, it can just stop censoring Americans’ free speech.

How can misinformation be determined misinformation if it is continually changing in direct contradiction to the previous details? And what does it change to that it won’t be changed again misleading itself so it never should have been printed as a replacement for the previous guidance? It’s the song that never ends. Chicken or egg?

“Immunizations like for measles”
No matter what one's opinion of the current Covid vaccinations is, we can't sustain a free society when opinions are routinely censored.
A good example of the information they seek to ban:
From RED VOICE MEDIA
Dr. Carrie Madej can be described as the leftwing establishment’s worst nightmare. She’s one of the few people who has actually had the chance to examine what’s really in the vaccine vials that are being forced into the arms of millions of people, and she told our very own Stew Peters yesterday that she was nothing short of horrified by what she saw.
Back in July, Madej was brought in by a lab in Georgia to examine a vial of the Moderna vaccine. After placing it on a glass slide and waiting two hours before observing it under a microscope, Madej was horrified to see that “colors appeared which I’ve never seen anything like…There wasn’t a chemical reaction happening. It was a brilliant blue and royal purple and a yellow and sometimes green. And so there were these colors appearing, I did not know what that was.”
After examining the specimen further, Madej found that there were “metallic fragments” in there the likes of which she said she was not used to seeing. As she continued to look at the slide, her findings only got more disturbing.
“And then there was one particular…object or organism…that had tentacles coming from it and it was able to lift itself up off the glass slide,” she stated, at which time a stunned Peters asked if what she was seeing was alive.
Indeed. See this study:
Since there is no significant difference between viral load among vaccinated or unvaccinated, it stands to reason that the vaccinated are at this moment the "super spreaders".
It does seem true that the vaccinated are less likely to get seriously sick from covid if they do catch it, but no reason to believe they are less likely to catch or spread it. Maybe their immune systems can defeat the virus faster but I don't know of any data that shows transmission rates to be lower among the vaccinated. Logically one may even conclude that a false sense of security among the vaccinated results in them being more social, more active, and thus spreading at a greater rate than the unvaccinated who are more likely to take greater precautions.
IF it wanted to ban ‘misinformation’, FYouTube needs to ban itself!

meh,
nothing to see here, right?
MARGARET BRENNAN: I appreciate at the outset you laid out the bureaucratic process that- that happens within the government to say yes or no on these vaccines. But we’re in the middle of a national health crisis where trust has been diminished or clarity and communication is so important. Was this the right way to actually get this done? I mean, almost every day we had a different message on whether to take the booster or not.
DR. WALENSKY: Yeah, I want to actually articulate this. This- this is not the bureaucratic process; this is the scientific process. You have scientific experts, academicians who are talking about the FDA advisory committee. The FDA puts its authorization. You have academicians, people working their entire career in immunology and vaccinology, informing the CDC. I think that this is an important scientific process and an important scientific dialogue. It has been scrutinized. It’s been watched in ways that it has never been before, but this has been the process that has held us in good stead. And that- I think is important for people who might- and- and it’s very transparent. And I think it’s important for people to understand and be able to watch the science, so they have confidence in the process.
An investigation by Moderna, Rovi and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of the vaccine’s distribution in Japan, is ongoing. The foreign material is “a metal that reacts to a magnet” and is believed to have entered the vials during the production process, the Asahi Shimbun quoted an unidentified senior health ministry official as saying.
So far, there have been no reports of ill health from contaminated doses, or of foreign materials in other batches of the Moderna vaccine that have been distributed in Japan.
The risk that a contaminated vial would be administered is seen as low by experts, as the standard protocol is to check for any abnormalities before use.
“If it’s a minute piece of metal, once injected inside the muscle it will be approached and eaten by phagocytes, so it will not circulate in the whole body, and there is a near zero chance of it causing substantial health damage,” Masayuki Miyasaka, professor emeritus of immunology at Osaka University, said
The viral load in vaccinated peaks as high as one who is unvaccinated. However the duration of infection is shorter for the vaccinated. So, if the vaccine shortens the time of being contagious, wearing masks, and social distancing in public places can eliminate ones chance of infecting others while vaccine-primed antibodies wipe out the virus.
Ooh, and that is the point. Destroying the chief free society on earth.
Get rid of that, and the commie run Sh**holes would not have to worry about outside interference killing off their sick games. ‘Cause that is the only way commie societies are killed off — help from outside. With the US gone, that threat is forever gone.
Truer words were never written.
SCIENCE IS NOT CONSENSUS. If it were, we’d still be believing that the world is flat and that the sun revolves around IT. And that there are only four elements, earth, water, fire and air. And that illness is caused by imbalance of the humors. And that drawing a pint of blood is a viable treatment for, well, almost everything.
Crikey!
We have a vaccine that’s been around for less than a year, so I find it difficult to prove all the problems associated with it. I’m not denying them just think it needs more time and investigation. With that said I find it just as difficult to prove that it doesn’t. It we use their reasoning it seems to me that one claim is just as disingenuous as the other.
