The offending video was nothing more than an audio presentation of comments made originally by Dr. Roger Hodkinson, a distinguished medical doctor and medical director of Western Medical Assessments. Hodkinson is the former chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa.
November 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – YouTube has removed from LifeSite’s channel a video containing audio of a well-respected doctor discussing the uselessness of masks and widespread public hysteria over the coronavirus, calling it “medical misinformation.”
LifeSiteNews is now unable to upload any new videos for a week.
The offending video was nothing more than an audio presentation of comments made originally by Dr. Roger Hodkinson, a distinguished medical doctor and medical director of Western Medical Assessments. Hodkinson is the former chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa.
Dr. Hodkinson gave the comments at a public city meeting in Canada last week, and slated the state imposed lockdowns, which are supposedly to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
He stated, “There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. It’s outrageous. This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus.”
“Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue-signalling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time,” said Hodkinson.
LifeSite’s video of Hodkinson’s words was taken down almost immediately, and YouTube stated that the video had violated its policy of “medical misinformation.” YouTube stated that such a violation goes against its “community guidelines.”
However, Dr. Hodkinson prefaced his comments with his own credentials, precisely to prevent people from disregarding his words as misinformation.
The doctor explained, “I’m a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology. I trained at Cambridge University in the U.K. I’m the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association. I was previously an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching. I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa, but more to the point I’m currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina selling the COVID-19 test.”
Two days before, on November 18, the video platform had flagged another of LifeSite’s videos, The Mother Miriam Show. Despite being titled as “Catholic Christmas traditions to instill faith in your kids,” that video also received a warning of “medical misinformation.” YouTube then removed the video.
With the warning on November 18, and today’s strike, LifeSite has now been banned from uploading any videos by YouTube for a week.
Deleting the video does not remove the strike, and if YouTube deems that LifeSite has incurred three strikes within a 90-day period, this would result in the permanent removal of our channel, which has over 200,000 subscribers.
The video, which is embedded above, can be found on LifeSite’s Rumble account here.

Banded |
Banned.
Haha, doofus.
It’s awful frankly....
Youtube, like FB and Twitter do not own the internet. There are other options out there.
This should be it:
Canadian doctor destroys ‘utterly unfounded public hysteria’ over COVID-19

The channel name on Rumble is “LifeSiteNews”. I didn’t find it when I first looked because I was just using LifeSite in the search box.

Also, here’s a link to an article on the same subject:
Top Pathologist Claims Coronavirus is “The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated on an Unsuspecting Public” Says “masks are utterly useless.”
“LifeSite’s video of Hodkinson’s words was taken down almost immediately, and YouTube stated that the video had violated its policy of “medical misinformation.” “
I’d like to see the medical credentials of the youtube employee who took the video down.
True. But youtube, FB, and twitter are currently kings of the mountain. Going with the alternatives, you have an audience no bigger than at one of Biden’s rallies.
I hear you but it’s up to us to change that. And that’s not as difficult as you may think. It probably won’t take as long as you may think either
That’s a fair question. The link I provided is for a video that was banned, as the one discussed. I cannot say with 100% confidence it is in fact the same video.
The CDC had on their website that 6%, or about 16K deaths of the above figure, are due to Covid alone, without another co-morbidity cause.
The total deaths for all causes has been within historical norms, nowhere near a pandemic, unless you use the new definition of a what constitutes a pandemic.
We need to develop the self-discipline to learn to campaign, defeat bad bills and pass good bills. I haven’t seen texts of many bills posted here, for example. There’s enough noise with Democrat trolls pretending to be conservatives in conservative discussions and telling others to oppose the Republican politicians who are key to our purposes.
Internet sites for educating lefties should be used for that purpose. Without noisy floods of comments, hooks (attractive messages, well, okay, click bait) can be used to attract and teach them. But most of the work of educating socialists needs to be done directly in each of our communities along with having them and/or their adult children busted for drug and alcohol offenses (intervention, conservative style).
Thank you!!
