Their agenda is "more time spent watching" = "more revenue" but theyve happened to induce a health crisis in the process.
In this translation of engagement to dollars, Youtube has an ethical obligation to not actively promote content that is provably, unequivocally false and actively harmful to the public health, even if they continue to provide a platform for it.

Not recommending videos is not censorship.
