GOP Senator Rand Paul, who is also a certified medical doctor, was suspended for a week from Youtube after posting videos on the continued use of masks to fight the Coronavirus.
As The Hill reports:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been suspended from YouTube for a week over a video claiming that masks are ineffective against COVID-19.
In a statement to The Hill, a YouTube spokesperson said the platform “removed content from Senator Paul’s channel for including claims that masks are ineffective in preventing the contraction or transmission of COVID-19, in accordance with our COVID-19 medical misinformation policies.”
“This resulted in a first strike on the channel, which means it can’t upload content for a week, per our longstanding three strikes policy. We apply our policies consistently across the platform, regardless of speaker or political views, and we make exceptions for videos that have additional context such as countervailing views from local health authorities,” the spokesperson added.
…
Paul said in a statement that “this kind of censorship is very dangerous, incredibly anti-free speech, and truly anti-progress of science, which involves skepticism and argumentation to arrive at the truth.”
If Paul receives a ‘second strike’ by Youtube he may suspended for an additional two weeks.
The man is a Medical Doctor and probably better at knowing the truth than Zuckerberg
I agree but that’s why they do it….the truth hurts and zuckberg is an idiot and has his money tied up in this crap
Actually Zuckerberg is brilliant!! Mr Paul is unlikely so.
Everyone is brilliant in their own way. When it comes to medical issues, Rand Paul carries the ball into the end zone.
YOU ARE an Idiot!
Typical Democrat liberal response following the Jim Jones mentality
That’s DOCTOR PAUL!
I would trust Rand Paul over Fauci, that’s for sure. It has long been stated that masks don’t save people from the virus! You don’t know who or what to believe after awhile of course!
From the beginning, N95 are what is said to be most effective, not paper, not cloth or your hand. I have not seen healthcare personnel at my numerous Dr appointments and hospital visits, no one is wearing N95’s, my interpretation of that fact is, they re not going to tap into the stockpile for what is going on right now, its not that bad.
N95 respirators and surgical masks are examples of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer from airborne particles and from liquid contaminating the face. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also regulate N95 respirators.
Do you know why they are called N95 masks? They will only stop 95% of the particulates…problem is…the micron of C19 is smaller than the mesh in the N95, the only 100% effective mask is a respirator, forced air.
What people said that about masks? The ones that don’t believe that coughing.
or sneezing doesn’t spread germs? So tell me why did Trump get vaccinated? Why do some workers wear makeup or goggles in their jobs? Same principle? How many of you anti mask and anti vaccine dont get a flu shot?
How about me? One time in my life I got a flu shot because I was in a Doctor’s office for an ear ailment and they said they could give me one. Hesitantly, I agreed. Within a week I had the worst flu I have ever had in my life and I am 70.
Thanks, but I’ll pass on stupid flu shots from now on AND on your stupid covid TEST shot (not a vaccine).
I knew a gentleman in his 80’s who passed away within a week of getting a flu shot. He had been under a doctor’s care for other issues, he had numerous tests. His family was told that his white blood cell count was through the roof and that he had leukemia. We all suspect the shot.
Your wearing a mask because IT IS REQUIRED…. If the mask was so effective there would be no need push for the vaccine. Trump getting vaccinated was a personal CHOICE, he wasn’t damn near forced to do it, like we are. You should read some history, especially history on Hitler using the Jews for experimentation of biowarfare, The U.S Army experimentation drugs on Soldiers, El Paso Baths, The Tuskegee syphilis experiment .
ShyOne, I agree with you Paul over Fauci! Ok, everyone here’s a thought for you all. Can your underwear stop a Fart? NO! So, there so much for your masks but I do like the N95.
The man is a licensed eye surgeon, who at youtube has better credentials to talk about medical issues? Not the the little lib playing keyboard kommando banning people because what they are saying does not follow the party line.
How about an infection disease specialist or an immunologist, or just about any other type of doctor who has a broader understanding of infectious diseases. When was the last time you went to your eye surgeon for a check up? The last time he had to learn any applied general medicine was his fourth year in medical school. He certainly didn’t get it during his ophthalmology residency!
The man is an eye doctor!! And you think hes more knowledgeable in this situation then an actual immunology specialist like Dr Fauci who specializes in diseases? So tell me people, would you go to the eye dr if you had the flu? Because that id exactly what you’re saying. This is exactly the type of ignorance that is making the rational population who bother to get facts and not follow an idiot to continue suffering in this state of social suspension. It is also the reason why this monsters of a virus is not going anywhere. So dont wear masks or get vaccinated and kill your family freinds and strangers. You are unpatriotic cowards who are selfish beyond words. You are totally irrational. May GOD help you
And may God help you, as well.
Dr Fauchi is a quack! He contradicts himself so often my head spins. Who are you to call someone a selfish unpatriotic coward? You are like a lamb to the slaughter. You throw us all into a box and say we don’t wear masks and are unvaccinated. You have no knowledge of who we are and what we have done.
An eye Dr is a Dr. They go to med school just like any other Doc. They just specialize in the eye.
Ps You are showing your ignorance by what you have said.
You Tube, Twitter and Face Book are the most childish institutions I have ever seen. It is like a bunch of childish 3-4 yr olds saying “It’s mine, No, It’s mine” It is Romper Room Antics! Could they be more ridiculous? Answer: NO!
Get on GETTR then OK
Wow communist tactics here in America.
Rand Paul has a right to free speech more than fauci has of speaking not the truth never did trust the guy ever. Zucherberg what’s he knows is cheating on the American people.
Is fear of death the most powerful manipulator now?
I mean what did Patrick Henry mean when he said,”Give me liberty or give me death.”?
He is one of the best senators.
Hey senator Dimmy, don’t you know that these guys need a federal license to operate? Is this news to you?
Senator Rand Paul is absolutely “spot on!” We are being deceived. We have become “sheep” and do what we’re told by our government. NONSENSE to following the government. We need to be more BOLD and say, “Enough!”
