# Fake news?

If doctors spread mis information (aka fake news), it could be dangerous?
Likely why it was taken down.

Youtube actually hired people to look at mis-information about the coronavirus.
If your spreading something thats incorrect, its taken down.

So if you get a doctor to make a youtube video, saying "black people are immune to this virus" and put it online.
Someone will come by, notice it and remove it. Its factually incorrect, and can thus be taken down.

edit: yes it was fakenews.

 the  video in question, basically says "its just a flubro", "stay at home doesnt work" "its not statistic significant if you lockdown or not" ect.
Its a bullshit video LurkerJ, thats dangerous and goes against what WHO recammend, and what the White house itself says ect.

video talking about it :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=352&v=RCRfxQ38TXE&feature=emb_logo

edit 2:

The american college of emergency physicians (ACEP) and the american academy of emergency medicine (AAEM) jointly released a statement, condeming the recent opinions by these doctors in the video you talk about LurkerJ.

They say "as the owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two indeviduals are releaseing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their own personal financial  intrests".

^ # fake news, 2 lieing doctors, out for profits, not careing about lives it risks.

Ok, so I didn't want to respond before watching the video in question myself, and I have just spent an hour watching it, and let me all of what you said or quoted is utter BS, you didn't other bother to explain to anyone why you think it's fake news, if your case case is so obvious, please explain it.

Here are the links if any one is interested: part 1: https://youtu.be/h_EwxG8YZ50 part 2: https://youtu.be/FuAh6iuWTls

The two doctors are FOR QUARANTINE, FOR TESTING, FOR MANY POLICIES that are in place at the moment, they aren't even asking for complete lift of restrictions, they think sporting events are NOT essential. The data their sharing is factual data that is available to everyone. The video does include some CONCLUSIONS AND OPINIONS, the 2 doctors make that clear through their well-spoken presentation.

It's even a two-side presentation, with many journalists allowed inside the room and loudly opposing the doctors' OPINIONS, encouraged to challenge both of them in somewhat heated yet a civilized manner, in other words, FREE PRESS. Ironic how so many of you are hyper-aware of fake news yet lack any hint of skepticism and wait for others to tell them what piece of news is fake, for shame.
