It’s not really news that free speech no longer exists on YouTube, but today the Google-owned company announced that they are cracking their fascist whip even harder to get rid of all anti-vaccine content even if it’s not COVID-19 related, including channels that are said to be very popular:
NEW: YouTube is banning all anti-vaccine content and removing popular channels that it claims is spreading misinformationhttps://t.co/Y6zO51qAEr

YouTube will ban all anti-vaccine content, going beyond COVID-19 to include content that claims vaccines cause chronic health effects or contains misinformation about vaccine ingredients, according to a blog post published on Wednesday.
Users who post misinformation about any “currently administered vaccines that are approved and confirmed to be safe and effective by local health authorities and the WHO” will be subject to YouTube’s strike policy and could face removal, the company said in a blog post.
“This would include content that falsely says that approved vaccines cause autism, cancer or infertility, or that substances in vaccines can track those who receive them,” YouTube said, adding that the policy applies to specific immunizations like those for measles, as well as general statements about vaccines.
According to the Post, YouTube’s Vice President of Global Trust and Safety Matt Halprin, the company is also banning prominent anti-vaccine activists and removing several channels.
YouTube reportedly said it will remove the channels of “prominent vaccine misinformation spreaders,” including the Robert F. Kennedy Jr.-affiliated Children’s Health Defense Fund, Joseph Mercola, Erin Elizabeth, and Sherri Tenpenny.
During the pandemic, the platform previously implemented a policy prohibiting misinformation about the coronavirus, including treatment and prevention. However, it was revealed on Wednesday that misleading claims had spread to other areas of medicine.
No one is allowed to disagree any longer or even be wrong. Everyone must agree with what our ‘betters’ want us to believe or we must be silent.
It used to be in this country that the answer to misinformation was simply putting out more good information so that people could consider it and weigh it against the bad information. But that’s not the case any longer. Now if you don’t agree with the leftists who control the ‘public’ avenues of information, then you must be canceled and silenced.
What’s worrisome is where this fascism ends. Today it’s vaccine misinformation. Tomorrow it could be Christian priests and pastors preaching against homosexuality and the LGBT+whatever gender fluid movement. Just looking at Australia and the totalitarian way they’ve reacted to the virus, it seems very plausible to me that one day, in the name of public health and suicide prevention, that there could be secret government ‘monitors’ sitting in the pews of churches all around this country ready to report any priest or pastor who dared call out the great sin of our lifetime, homosexuality, or any of its popular forms.
It’s truly sad that formerly free parts of the world have become so bad that I can now envision this happening. Which is why we must fight and defeat the liberal forces who are pushing these vaccine mandates and passports. Because once something like this has a precedent, it opens the door wide for exactly the kind of totalitarianism that we fear.
