And their methodology on how they got their data was incorrect. Their numbers are wrong and their methodology they used was wrong. This has already been spelled out on how the information they presented is not correct. There is no agenda for Youtube. Only that videos that don't follow policy get taken down.

Neither did those guys. It was their own data. Whether or not WHO/CDC or anyone agrees with their findings.

The same WHO/CDC that told us a month ago that we should not wear masks and now they're like "let's wear masks!". Hell, they're still debating where the virus even came from and how it appeared, yet alone, trying to be the authority for everything COVID-19 related.

Deleting the video just gives MORE attention to those guys and their data and people are just copying and pasting the video everywhere. Had they left it alone, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now.

Obviously the majority of people who walk into a testing clinic are people who think they might be sick or are in a high risk category. Just like people who take an AIDS test. To claim that's a random sampling is ludicrous, and to make public health decisions based on that sampling is criminally negligent. And everyone knows that. But they want to believe it and so are willing to toss logic out the window and ignore the 800lb gorilla in the room.

Something stinks to high heaven here.
How did they get 9k volunteers to show up for a coronavirus test?

That video was pulled because those two "Doctors" are quacks. Every expert, who really knows this stuff, said what they were promoting was false, and only done to line their own pockets.

The last thing we need now are con men selling snake oil that will result in even more deaths. If you want to believe them, fine, but the rest of us need accurate, truthful information, not lies.

how common?

1% of the cases?

I've always been divided on this... I usually cop it to the happy sue everyone culture we have. Misinformation even dangerous information can potentially involve not only the author(s) but also the content provider. So no wonder that content providers will remove them anything that might expose them to litigation.

As the coronavirus began to spread across the United States, President Trump repeatedly insisted that it was nothing to worry about. Two months later, the United States became the first country in the world with more than 100,000 cases, the economy has ground to a near standstill, and the virus has killed more than 1,000 people in New York state alone when this hit...currently New York state has 17,638 confirmed COVID-19 deaths.

Trump's 6 weeks of downplaying this pandemic on national TV is why these numbers are so high.

In the early days of the virus’s spread in the United States, Trump repeatedly emphasized that everything was “under control” and that the virus would just “disappear” in warmer months.
  • Jan. 22 Trump states: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
  • Feb. 10 Trump states: “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”
  • Feb. 24 Trump tweets: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. … Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
  • Feb. 27 Trump states: “It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
  • March 4th Trump claims: “I think the 3.4 percent [fatality rate] is really a false number.”
On Jan 22, was that accurate?
On Feb 10 and Feb 27, are those complete quotes, and in context?
On Feb 24, with 28 total cases - how many weer tied to the one nursing home in WA. I agree that tying the stock market with COVID was bad, btw.

They're free to publish their theories on pornhub anywhere else. It's sort of become the place for some content like guns and not just porn. Maybe it can be the new go-to for Coronaviurs theories that run contrary to what "the man" is telling you too.
YouTube'ss site, YouTube's rules. Don't like it, don't watch YouTube.

If I believe that a stale cheesecake left out in a radioactive sewer is where COVID-19 came from, that's up to me to decide that.

But by removing the video, all they did was Streisand effect it and now it has more attention than ever, which is the OPPOSITE of what YouTube wanted.

Besides, the "misinformation" argument is played out when you literally have the death count being skewed and flawed as well.

If the official doctors and scientists barely know anything about this "novel"coronavirus, what exactly makes one right and one incorrect? Hell, we still have that clown Fauci running around saying that there COULD be a spike in the virus this fall. It's all COULD's and MAYBE's, but there is nothing that's concrete yet.

But when you start being the gatekeeper of information, that becomes the problem, especially on a site like YouTube where they had gross kiddy stuff on it, but they won't allow two doctors just speaking on their findings. It's the bigger picture that others are saying in this thread that people aren't understanding.
