Back to me speaking now…

Notice that they won’t let you say:

1. Claims that COVID-19 vaccines do not reduce risk of serious illness or death. Me: Not only do the vaccines not reduce the risk of serious illness or death, they INCREASE IT FOR SOME CATEGORIES eg males between the ages of 18 and 24.

2. Content that claims that any group or individual has immunity to the virus or cannot transmit the virus

   Me: There are individuals who have immunity to the virus, either by cross reactivity (“immunity-in-place”) or having recovered from the illness.

3. Claims that the death rate of COVID-19 is equal to or less than that of the common cold or seasonal flu Me: Dear YouTube: Just what are the IFRs for seasonal flu and for the Omicron variant of SARS-2?

There is not a single phrase that is incorrect in this video. So they kicked me off for one of the statements I made that crossed one of their incorrect ones. In less than 10 minutes… with only 8 views…
