The author of this article probably doesn't have the expertise to find and interpret the data to make a judgment about what the doctors in question are saying. Quoting others is really the best can do. Sometimes there really is just no window look through.

And even if they did that it wouldn't really serve what the author here is trying to cover. This is an article about Youtube censoring two doctors. The reason why is relevant (and they quote Youtube's reasoning) but it's not the main story.

Not that the article is amazing, but it's just frustrating people are piling on because it's not the story they wanted the author to write.

If this were a story about the Kardashians, it might not matter, but journalists have a responsibility to do better than this when lives are on the line. This article does not meet basic standards for ethical journalism:
