The only people I've seen being attacked for their views on Covid are outside the scientific community. People that have no business saying whether it's dangerous or not because they havent done any real research. And of course you have the scientists that are being political. Just like we have scientists that deny climate change for political or monetary reasons.

Like Dr. Fauci? There are scientists being political on both sides, but only one side is censored.

Also, here is a list that someone else compiled [1] of censored scientists:

* John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine, Stanford University

* Scott Atlas, Stanford University

* Karol Sikora, dean of Buckingham U medical school

* Prof Detlef Krüger, virologist, Berlin

* Prof Johan Giesecke, former EU chief epidemiologist

* Michael Levitt, Nobel Prize laureate, biologist

* Prof Christopher Kuhbandner

* Prof Carl Heneghan, Oxford University

* Prof Sucharit Bhakdi, microbiology, Mainz

* Prof Mikko Paunio, epidemiologist, Finland

* Prof Dan Yamin, infectious disease, Tel Aviv University

* Prof Karin Moelling, virology, U of Zurich

* Professor Klaus Püschel, forensic medicine

* Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, physician, Germany

And [2] is an article talking about the censorship.

You can add Dr. Peter McCullough to that list. Youtube removed his video [1] which contained a few slides from one of the most highly cited and extensively authored peer-reviewed publications on treating COVID-19 patients with existing medicines.

The video has since been reinstated, only after the issue was escalated all the way up to the state attorney general.

Thank you! The more we know about, the less effective the censorship is.

No, that's a list of scientists some internet person thinks might have expressed stuff (not on YouTube) that might have violated YouTube's policy.

It's not clear if any were "censored" anywhere.

Scott Atlas had a video taken down. [1]

An interview with Karol Sikora was taken down. [2]

An interview with Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi was taken down. [3]

I found all of those just by searching DDG with the text of each item in the list I gave, along with the word "youtube". Deeper digging would probably have revealed more.

I'm not sure what your point is, I'm simply restating the source you quoted:

"Here's an incomplete list of such "nutjobs" who would fall under YouTube's policy of eliminating all views that the risk of the virus has been vastly overstated and that the mitigation measures are doing far more harm than good:"

Note "would fall under" not "were removed". It's not surprising to me that some were removed from youtube, but the list wasn't based on people who had been censored.

Funnily enough though, looking back all three of those hucksters were demonstrably wrong in many of their claims.

[Flimm]

That's quite different! Thank you for pointing that out.

Not true. Look up Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Mike Yeadon, just to name a few.
