Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) YouTube account was suspended for one week starting Friday for uploading content violating the platform’s policy against COVID-19 misinformation.
The video that triggered the suspension was a roundtable discussion in which the lawmaker falsely claimed that coronavirus vaccines are unsafe.
“The updated figures today are 17,619. That is 225 times the number of deaths in just a 10-month period versus an annual figure for the flu vaccine. These vaccine injuries are real.” Johnson was citing numbers from the self-reporting database the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that reports in the system, which can easily be gamed by activists hoping to prove a point, “do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.”
“Once again Big Tech is censoring the truth," Johnson said in a statement. "Why won’t they let the vaccine injured tell their stories and medical experts give a second opinion? Why can’t we discuss the harmful effects of mandates? Apparently, the Biden administration and federal health agencies must not be questioned. How many more lives will be needlessly destroyed?"
Another participant in the roundtable said that coronavirus vaccines do not prevent death, independently violating YouTube policies, which bar content about COVID-19 that poses a serious risk of egregious harm or spreads misinformation that contradicts the guidance of health authorities.
The video of the roundtable was removed by the platform, a YouTube spokesperson told The Hill, although a shorter version of the discussion was allowed to stay up.
“We craft our policies to reduce the risk of real-world harm, updating them as official guidance evolves, and we consider the context of a video to make exceptions that balance open discussion of people’s experiences with preventing the spread of harmful misinformation,” the spokesperson said.

“But they don’t offer any evidence whatsoever that his claims were false.”
Ironic, isn’t it? Johnson had MANY guest speakers at his roundtable, all providing first-hand experiences and solid evidence of the harm caused by the vaccine.
It's bad enough those bastards are impugning all the speakers at the roundtable event, but that event was not sponsored by some kook fringe group. It was sponsored by a United States Senator. Declaring that first-hand, first-person narrative information provided by US citizens to be wrong is just evil.
The refrain was build your own platform, and then people did. Then those websites got shut down by PayPal and payment processors, and people said build your own payment processors. Then they did, and then the credit card companies shut those down too.
And here we are today, countless people have been completely frozen out, and even sitting members of Congress and the president himself have been censored. All because people couldn't proactively advocate for an internet Bill of Rights.

It is disgusting on so many levels.
Here, not only YouTube but The Hill claiming to know all and be all about what is true.
This is not a simple question. Cannot simply state with rushed vaccines within only a year of them being tried, that DEFINITIVELY they are SAFE (”science is settled”). It is NOT SETTLED, and I argue that almost invariably anything to do with biology is NEVER settled.
How dare these jackasses claim as if they know all?
Actually, yes they can.
But in essence when every corp. acts this way, they are the henchmen of the government.
Heck, even if they were not in line with government policy, they’d still be acting like tyrants.
Sharyl Atkisson had Congressman Ken Buck (R-Colorado) on as a guest a few days ago (see her podcast "Just the News" episode 117). The podcast is well worth listening to.
Buck made exactly that point you made. These high tech people originally just operated platforms, but a few years ago, they somehow began injecting themselves as the arbiters of truth. It is just preposterous that any of them, usually not educated in the field, act as the final deciders of what is true in that field.

“coronavirus vaccines do not prevent death”
