The article mentions specifically conspiracy theories saying covid vaccines will kill you or be used to implant tracking microchips. I don't think it takes a scientist to call that misinformation.
- wtetzner 6y ago> YouTube said in an email that this would include removing claims that the vaccine will kill people or cause infertility > I don't think it takes a scientist to call that misinformation. Are you sure? If you haven't done the experiments, how do you know the safety of the vaccines and the likelihood of becoming infertile or dying? I'm not saying most of that isn't misinformation, because I don't know. What I am saying is that I don't trust YouTube to make that determination.

I'm not sure that "misinformation" is the word I would use other than to characterize the categorical denial of people's concerns.
- dx87 6y agoThe article also says that they will remove videos that contradict the people they've decided are trusted experts. > YouTube says it already removes content that disputes the existence or transmission of COVID-19, promotes medically unsubstantiated methods of treatment, discourages people from seeking medical care or explicitly disputes health authorities’ guidance on self-isolation or social distancing.
