If it is one smart person with an open mind and time to investigate, fine. But what we have is a mob with no time, interest, or capability to investigate, and every incentive to find a reason to end isolation. Most importantly, there is a very real deadly outcome if they get it wrong. Under those conditions taking the video down is the right move.
And yes, the quality of the content matters here. It is well-known that misinformation is incredibly hard to correct once the horse has left the stable, so low quality argument can do plenty of damage even if its easily debunked. It doesn't sound like this video was mere dissent, and I for one would be satisfied if the video was replaced, for example, with an annotated transcript pointing out the factual errors in the content.
