Now You tube is warning.... Pope Francis?

 First they came for the HCQ/Ivermectin pushers, then they came for Dr. C and the BMJ. And now Youtube/google is warning  you not to listen to Catholic websites that oppose abortion.

From EWTN News:

  ...

Social media giant, YouTube, has added a warning to content from many Catholic and pro-life organizations. The labels appear beneath the video with a link to so-called "abortion health information." The warning even appears on some videos of Pope Francis. Senior Tech Columnist at The Federalist and Policy Director at the Conservative Partnership, Rachel Bovard, joins to tell us about these warnings.

YouTube is even placing abortion information on videos about vandalism at pro-life pregnancy centers. Bovard explains why YouTube is doing this and what effect she thinks it is having. Bovard shares what so-called abortion information is in the link provided by YouTube.

On another note, the US Supreme Court is set to hear 2 cases on Section 230 and Big Tech. Bovard discusses these cases, why they are so important and how she sees this playing out. 

Speaking of Dr. C: ;Dr, Campbell has a video today asking if the covid statistics are accurate...

and this is in the UK: I can assure you that the figures are no accurate here, especially now that we have the weaker version going around, and hey, it's harvest season and people are busy cleaning up after the typhoon and harvesting the rice that wasn't destroyed by the storm.

FYI: Dr C's commetary on today's video notes the rules of Youtube that he has to obey:

YT Guidelines COVID-19 medical misinformation policy

Prevention misinformation: Content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or WHO.

Vaccine safety: content alleging that vaccines cause chronic side effects, outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities

Efficacy of vaccines: content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease

Ingredients in vaccines: content misrepresenting the substances contained in vaccines

the problem? by censoring the nut jobs who exaggerate problems, they are also censoring discussion of the problems, where the problems are put into perspective of pros and cons.

The result is that the nut cases actually get more credibility, especially for those who already suspect problems of reporting by the MSM/ubermedia giants.  

speaking of covid: There is a new strain going around Asia that was found to be epidemic in Singapore and has now been identified in the Philippines. However, it is no worse than previous strains and isn't killing a lot of people because it is weak like the previous omicron varient.

• 1,196 new cases and 34 new deaths in the Philippines [source]

however, there have been quite a few people with sick toddlers asking for help with medicine or to go to the hospital. I suspect it is RSV, which news reports say is surging in toddlers in the USA.

A nasty disease, 

...

.alas, vaccines are not available: indeed, like Dengue, the vaccine of the 1960s caused an immune problem that  made some people worse so it was pulled.  But they are still working on making a vaccine because this is a horrible disease which kills toddlers, and of course it is more likely to do so in poorer countries.
