YouTube Censorship

Unfortunately, YouTube saw fit to block the video of my interview with Dr. Robin Schoenthaller regarding her work getting ACCURATE INFORMATION out to the public with regards to the... divoC "outbreak."

It was flagged for "medical misinformation." I appealed, on the basis that nothing in the interview, said by either myself or Dr. Schoenthaller, was in fact in conflict with ANY of YouTube's Standards regarding medical misinformation. Which, I should add, I APPLAUD them for for having, agree with 100% and which can be read HERE.

I lost the appeal and the video was taken down. 

Now I want to be clear: I do applaud YouTube for taking responsibility for the quality and accuracy of the content on their platform. I agree that it is their right to take videos down over content. And I agree with the Community Standards as they are written. But nobody can seem to tell me WHAT I GOT WRONG. (And thus I'm robbed of the chance to correct the record. I may only be a pretend journalist, but I'd still like to be a GOOD pretend journalist!) So if you'd like to help me out, you can find the interview on the post below on in the IMHO-2021 tab at the top f the page. (Its the 12th show.)

If you can tell me what I said (and approximately when it occurs in the video) that violates ANY of the Standards as described in YouTube's own policy (the above link) PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I will remove or address the offending section, and HOPEFULLY be able to re-post the corrected video to my channel here.

Once again: I applaud YouTube for having standards. I agree with the standards as laid out. I have no problem with them removing videos that violate them, or creators who repeatedly do. My only problem? I don't think I did. I'm on THEIR SIDE in all of this, regarding medical misinformation. And they never did tell me specifically what I did wrong. In that case? I don't think it's right to censor content so arbitrarily. I don't even want to argue with them. I just want to know, so that I can FIX IT.

A couple of articles

I came by all three of these articles by way of Professor Bob Carroll, over on Skepdic.com.  Thanks Bob!

Did you know that brainless yellow mold/slime makes certain decisions pretty much the same way humans do?

Seriously.  Check it out.  I think this is a good example as to why the free market doesn't function in the near-perfect manner that those with a nigh religious belief in it claim it should: Because people are mostly stupid, irrational, easily duped and willing to put up with a lot of shenanigans in the name of inertia and convenience!  Sadly, this statement spills over into politics as well, but that's another post.

Shifting gears....

Here's yet another article demolishing a pseudo scientific claim being made by a non-doctor, based on (scant) anecdotal evidence.  Bottom line: Stick to science, folks.  Just because "Doctors" can't "cure" something, that should not be licence for us to go out and "try anything," giving our hard earned money to these charlatans.  And we see this a LOT, don't we?  What's the latest weight-loss fad? Accai Berry?  *roll eyes*

Ironically, considering the article I just put up, do you know the BEST way to lose weight is?  A LOW-CARB DIET!  Take it from me: It works.  (Roll your eyes at my cheesy irony... NOW.)

(Just don't knock the Atkins Diet on THIS blog - because, take it from me: IT WORKS!) LOL

And as for things that "Doctor's can't cure" HERE'S why you needn't bother "trying anything."
There's a very good chance someone's already looked at it, and it didn't work.  See... there IS a "bias" in publication, but it's not to suppress "alternative medicine." It's to publish things THAT WORK.  When a remedy is shown to be useless, those results tend to just get filed away.  Unfortunately, that's used as evidence by homeopaths, acupuncturists, nutritionists and other charlatans  to claim that "Medicine" is not looking into those things because of some profit-based conspiracy.  In a word? BULLSHIT. 

If "alternative medicine" was worth a damn, it would be called "MEDICINE."
