00:00:00.000 We'll see. I'm going to assume
00:00:02.040 What if she claims that
00:00:04.180 her injury came from this?
00:00:06.340 Yeah.
00:00:07.380 Is that enough to trigger?
00:00:09.540 That's right!
00:00:10.700 This example violates our policy.
00:00:14.480 I feel like we should get a sticker
00:00:15.780 for this.
00:00:18.460 We do not allow claims
00:00:20.020 that vaccines cause chronic side effects
00:00:22.300 outside of rare side effects
00:00:24.400 that are recognized by health authorities.
00:00:26.820 Okay, well what if it's a rare
00:00:28.000 chronic side effect?
00:00:30.000 While we may make
00:00:32.360 exceptions for content in which creators
00:00:35.020 describe their or their family's first-hand
00:00:36.980 experiences, we recognize
00:00:39.080 there is a difference between sharing personal
00:00:40.840 experiences and promoting misinformation about
00:00:42.960 vaccines.
00:00:44.280 It's misinformation
00:00:46.640 promoting if you talk about things
00:00:48.800 that are in fact rare
00:00:50.820 side effects that do actually happen.
00:00:52.900 You're misinforming people by telling them
00:00:54.860 things that do in fact actually happen.
00:00:56.480 As soon as you say, oh, we thought
00:00:58.880 this was rare, but it's not rare
00:01:00.380 that is misinformation
00:01:01.560 cause it's...
00:01:02.380 There you go.
00:01:03.020 Yeah.
00:01:03.780 And what exactly does rare mean?
00:01:07.000 How...
00:01:07.460 How...
00:01:07.960 How...
00:01:08.560 What would the case incidents have to be
00:01:11.240 for it to still be considered rare, right?
00:01:13.380 Welcome back to another episode of The Critical Compass.
00:01:33.620 I'm James and this is Mike and we've got a short episode for you today
00:01:37.160 because we are going through re-education.
00:01:40.560 Our full episode where we sat down with
00:01:44.540 Yakstack or Sheldon Yakachuk,
00:01:47.780 we went over the AstraZeneca data that recently came out
00:01:51.520 and that got flagged for medical misinformation
00:01:54.600 even though we were just discussing what was in front of us
00:01:58.240 and what was released publicly.
00:02:00.140 So, yeah, it's frustrating that we had to take that down.
00:02:06.580 Well, it got token down.
00:02:07.740 We couldn't keep it up, but we do have it on Rumble
00:02:11.620 for anybody who's interested.
00:02:14.300 Yeah.
00:02:14.860 Well, let's take a look here, James.
00:02:16.720 I will add our screen in here.
00:02:21.380 So, this is our dashboard.
00:02:24.400 And as you can see right here,
00:02:25.660 here's our channel violation.
00:02:28.320 And let's see what YouTube wants from us.
00:02:33.020 Okay.
00:02:34.940 So, let's see here.
00:02:37.740 Warning, your content was removed
00:02:39.220 due to a violation of our community guidelines.
00:02:41.120 You've received a warning.
00:02:42.220 You can take a policy training
00:02:43.520 which will remove the warning after 90 days.
00:02:45.980 Okay.
00:02:47.540 Oh, so they call it policy training, not re-education.
00:02:50.560 That's our term for it.
00:02:51.800 Policy training, yeah.
00:02:53.040 There's your Orwellian terminology of the day.
00:02:56.400 If this happens again,
00:02:57.980 if you violate this policy again
00:02:59.320 within 90 days of completing the policy training,
00:03:01.360 you'll get a strike.
00:03:02.940 You won't be able to do things like
00:03:04.220 upload, post, or live stream for one week.
00:03:07.920 Okay.
00:03:08.440 And if you think we've made a mistake,
00:03:09.680 you can appeal this decision.
00:03:10.800 Well, let's take a look here.
00:03:12.540 So, let's take some action, shall we?
00:03:15.440 Get started, look at your content, and take action.
00:03:17.980 Okay.
00:03:18.200 So, there may be an issue with your content.
00:03:21.620 Something you posted may violate YouTube's community guidelines
00:03:24.240 to help keep the community safe.
00:03:28.380 We've removed it.
00:03:29.420 Your channel has received a warning.
00:03:30.700 You can take a training to dismiss the warning,
00:03:33.500 appeal our decision, or do nothing.
00:03:35.680 Okay.
00:03:36.340 So, warning.
00:03:37.460 This is just a warning.
00:03:38.220 If it happens again,
00:03:39.060 your channel will get a strike.
00:03:39.860 Yeah, okay.
00:03:40.240 So, let's begin review.
00:03:44.760 Take a look at your content team policies in mind.
00:03:47.020 The only thing with this,
00:03:48.120 if it does play,
00:03:49.540 will it flag this again?
00:03:52.380 So, we can mention the time frame of it.
00:03:55.900 It may actually flag.
00:03:57.040 It depends.
00:03:58.960 Like, are we on a list?
00:04:01.700 Are they going to, like,
00:04:03.120 have their algorithm flag through?
00:04:05.100 Or, like, how does...
00:04:06.120 You'd have to imagine you have some sort of...
00:04:08.300 Or, like...
00:04:09.500 Yeah, I don't know.
00:04:10.860 Yeah, but, like, how does...
00:04:13.700 What is ACT wording?
00:04:14.840 Because we had two shorts,
00:04:17.260 or two shorter videos,
00:04:18.540 two clips,
00:04:19.560 some highlights,
00:04:20.360 that were talking about a similar thing.
00:04:23.580 Um...
00:04:25.340 It was talking about the...
00:04:27.780 Yeah, it was talking about
00:04:29.520 spontaneous abortions.
00:04:32.600 Um...
00:04:33.320 And how that relates to
00:04:35.740 AstraZeneca
00:04:36.780 injections in the trials.
00:04:40.200 And I don't know if it was a certain
00:04:42.220 wording that...
00:04:43.720 Yeah, there it is.
00:04:44.440 Right there, James.
00:04:45.480 Dead on spontaneous abortions.
00:04:47.180 Okay, let's take a look here.
00:04:48.480 So, that's 05258.
00:04:51.740 Technically, if you find that time on Rumble,
00:04:54.340 um...
00:04:54.900 You should be able to...
00:04:55.860 Like, our viewers should actually be able to
00:04:57.760 watch that portion.
00:05:00.140 Exactly.
00:05:00.760 So, that's what I was referring to.
00:05:02.540 It was talking about...
00:05:03.420 Yeah.
00:05:04.280 Um...
00:05:05.080 I don't know if it's exactly because
00:05:07.120 he said
00:05:07.600 it's not safe.
00:05:11.000 That could...
00:05:12.080 That could trigger.
00:05:12.940 That could be...
00:05:13.540 Oh, here we go.
00:05:16.520 Okay, so...
00:05:17.600 But is that really...
00:05:19.320 Is that really narrowing it down, though?
00:05:23.380 No, so probably what this algorithm has...
00:05:26.060 I don't know if these things are, like, um...
00:05:29.360 You know, done by AI or...
00:05:29.940 I don't know if there's a white flag and then it...
00:05:31.900 And then it, like...
00:05:33.300 I don't know if any humans end up going through the process
00:05:35.840 or if it just auto-triggers...
00:05:37.760 So, what we don't want to do is say any words right now, I assume,
00:05:43.340 that start with the letter V
00:05:44.680 or that start with the letter A in this context
00:05:49.260 next to each other
00:05:50.200 because that's probably what...
00:05:52.260 That's probably what it's doing.
00:05:55.060 I don't know.
00:05:56.460 So, okay.
00:05:57.480 So, let's just see here.
00:05:58.660 So, do we want to read policy?
00:06:00.640 Let's try that.
00:06:01.740 Yeah.
00:06:01.960 Let's see what we can do here.
00:06:03.400 Okay, so...
00:06:04.400 Medical misinformation policy.
00:06:05.740 YouTube doesn't allow content
00:06:06.700 that poses a serious risk of egregious harm
00:06:09.040 by spreading medical misinformation
00:06:10.720 that contradicts local health authorities
00:06:12.620 or the World Health Organization's guidance
00:06:14.440 about specific health conditions and substances.
00:06:17.180 This policy includes the following categories.
00:06:19.200 Prevent misinformation...
00:06:21.200 Prevention misinformation...
00:06:23.680 Treatment misinformation...
00:06:25.080 Denial misinformation.
00:06:26.440 Wow.
00:06:27.820 Holy smokes.
00:06:28.460 So, that would include...
00:06:30.620 So, that would include...
00:06:32.620 Okay, preventing is like...
00:06:35.620 Maybe vitamin D falls under...
00:06:39.620 Somebody talking about...
00:06:41.500 Yeah.
00:06:43.060 Well, this is...
00:06:44.200 What makes this extra hilarious
00:06:45.620 is that this medical intervention
00:06:50.380 that we were discussing in that video
00:06:51.880 isn't even on the market anymore.
00:06:53.800 It's not even being...
00:06:54.800 It's not even being...
00:06:55.700 Literally, it was pulled off.
00:06:56.840 Yeah.
00:06:57.000 Yeah.
00:06:57.180 So, like...
00:06:58.920 Oh, this is crazy.
00:06:59.940 Look at this.
00:07:03.140 Denial misinformation.
00:07:04.440 Content that denies the existence of COVID-19
00:07:06.900 or that people have died from COVID-19.
00:07:13.780 Oh, my goodness gracious.
00:07:14.940 So, that is...
00:07:16.500 That...
00:07:16.900 See, that's a very specific, strong language.
00:07:19.940 But I wonder if they...
00:07:21.680 If you said...
00:07:24.000 Oh, there's not as many people than others.
00:07:27.280 If that would count as denial
00:07:28.660 because you're denying some of it.
00:07:31.460 Like, I don't know how firm...
00:07:32.680 Affirm how exact the language has to be
00:07:35.180 or if this wide umbrella captures a little bit more
00:07:39.200 than we think.
00:07:40.940 Yeah.
00:07:41.700 Yeah.
00:07:43.400 The treatment...
00:07:47.400 I don't know.
00:07:48.760 Like, would that fall under...
00:07:50.360 Well, we haven't really promoted anything alternative.
00:07:53.320 We weren't...
00:07:53.860 We weren't...
00:07:54.560 Yeah, we weren't talking about treatments.
00:07:56.820 Does the...
00:07:58.860 Astra...
00:07:59.780 Does that fall under the prevention, though?
00:08:05.280 It contradicts health authority.
00:08:08.060 Well...
00:08:09.280 We're talking about their own...
00:08:10.160 It's their own study that's...
00:08:11.560 ...contradicting health authority.
00:08:12.660 Yeah.
00:08:13.660 Yeah.
00:08:14.900 Oh, man.
00:08:15.720 Okay.
00:08:16.160 All right.
00:08:16.400 Oh, anything on the safety or efficacy.
00:08:21.140 So, anything...
00:08:21.720 Yeah, that's...
00:08:22.180 If you have anything to say about...
00:08:24.920 Effective or safety...
00:08:27.060 Safe or effective, then...
00:08:28.840 Mm-hmm.
00:08:29.320 And that will...
00:08:29.880 Yeah.
00:08:30.900 Counts as error.
00:08:32.160 Okay.
00:08:32.560 Well, let's go back here.
00:08:34.700 So...
00:08:34.740 Now we're clear.
00:08:35.260 I guess we...
00:08:36.400 We know...
00:08:38.240 We know what not to say.
00:08:40.280 Yeah.
00:08:41.200 Okay.
00:08:41.560 So, what do you want to do?
00:08:42.500 Take a policy training.
00:08:43.620 Your warning will expire in 90 days.
00:08:45.220 To keep our community safe...
00:08:47.260 Remember, James...
00:08:47.980 Your content won't be put back on YouTube.
00:08:50.500 Okay.
00:08:50.720 So, this is a seven...
00:08:51.340 We're literally harming people.
00:08:53.000 We would literally harm people.
00:08:54.540 Yeah.
00:08:54.840 So, we don't want to appeal...
00:08:56.840 Oh, so we can even do that after taking the training.
00:08:58.980 But let's do the...
00:08:59.620 Let's do the policy training first...
00:09:00.980 And decide if we want to appeal after that.
00:09:03.400 Okay.
00:09:03.900 Take training.
00:09:05.680 Okay.
00:09:06.140 Sweet.
00:09:06.680 Let's see.
00:09:08.840 Okay.
00:09:09.220 About the training.
00:09:09.900 Seven questions, 15 minutes.
00:09:11.200 We want you to create and share your content confidently.
00:09:13.920 In this training, you'll see...
00:09:15.200 It was related to the policy you violated.
00:09:17.280 You'll have unlimited attempts to get it right.
00:09:19.160 Oh, well, that's good.
00:09:22.320 Medical misinformation.
00:09:24.120 Vaccine misinformation.
00:09:25.340 While there are different types of medical misinformation, the one we'll focus on most
00:09:28.700 in your training is vaccine misinformation.
00:09:31.780 YouTube doesn't allow content that poses a serious risk of egregious harm by spreading
00:09:35.540 medical misinformation that contradicts local health authorities or the World Health Organization's
00:09:40.040 guidance about specific health conditions and substances.
00:09:42.320 This policy includes the following categories.
00:09:45.460 Oh, this is what we just read.
00:09:47.480 Yeah.
00:09:47.700 What happens if a local health authority has different information or a guideline than the
00:09:56.780 WHO?
00:09:57.980 Doesn't matter.
00:09:58.760 Does the WHO supersede that?
00:10:00.060 Yeah.
00:10:00.840 I would imagine.
00:10:01.820 I would imagine the WHO must supersede that.
00:10:03.480 Because you could have local health authorities like they had in Florida, right?
00:10:07.140 Where the Florida Surgeon General had that.
00:10:10.100 They came up with...
00:10:11.360 Yeah.
00:10:12.180 Yeah.
00:10:12.780 Okay.
00:10:13.200 Let's take a look here.
00:10:14.620 Okay.
00:10:15.980 Question one of seven.
00:10:16.860 A community leader uploads a video in which he urges local residents not to get vaccinated
00:10:22.760 because he believes the vaccines contain cells and tissue samples from aborted babies.
00:10:28.320 Is this a violation?
00:10:29.680 Yes, it is.
00:10:30.120 No, it isn't.
00:10:30.500 Now, isn't...
00:10:31.440 Hmm.
00:10:32.820 How can I say this in a way that it's not going to...
00:10:38.060 Hmm.
00:10:38.880 Trigger this.
00:10:40.200 Um...
00:10:41.240 Yeah.
00:10:42.000 Wasn't there a Project Veritas, uh, like, Pfizer whistleblower that said it was, in fact,
00:10:50.740 the Pfizer vaccine was, in fact, descended from certain cell lines of this thing on the screen?
00:11:01.120 Yeah.
00:11:01.820 So, is the issue...
00:11:04.520 It doesn't actually contain cells.
00:11:06.760 It's cell lines.
00:11:07.580 And, therefore, they're like, well, it depends on how exact you get with...
00:11:15.400 Yeah.
00:11:16.520 Let's just assume it wants us to say yes.
00:11:21.700 Here's the thing.
00:11:22.620 We know all the...
00:11:24.000 We know all the right answers.
00:11:28.580 I imagine we can predict the answers because we know...
00:11:32.120 We know what they've said about these things.
00:11:37.940 Like, any good citizen, we know what the right thing is to say.
00:11:43.420 That's right.
00:11:44.220 That's right.
00:11:44.860 But here's the thing.
00:11:46.320 So, again, you're talking about, like, why...
00:11:49.940 Like, why aren't some people able to have opinions?
00:11:57.160 Or what if you're reporting on somebody saying these things?
00:12:00.380 Would your video get flagged if the person says that in a clip?
00:12:03.760 But you're...
00:12:04.680 What if you're reviewing somebody talking about this?
00:12:06.860 Yeah.
00:12:06.940 So, like, now you don't even...
00:12:09.280 Like, is that going to chill speech on even talking about people having opinions or controversies or anything around that as well?
00:12:18.660 So, like, it depends.
00:12:21.180 These things could be arbitrarily enforced at any point.
00:12:26.420 Yeah.
00:12:27.080 Like...
00:12:27.660 Yeah.
00:12:28.280 I think that's the insidiousness of it.
00:12:33.880 All right.
00:12:34.520 Question two.
00:12:35.760 Jada uploads a video in which she shows 5G cell phone towers in her town.
00:12:39.740 She claims it's no coincidence that, quote,
00:12:42.060 all this talk about COVID and dying, unquote, started just after the towers were built.
00:12:47.180 She says the 5G towers are being used to spread COVID, which proves that COVID is not a virus at all.
00:12:52.840 Is this a violation, James?
00:12:54.340 What do you think?
00:12:56.880 I feel like even if she's wrong, we'd want to hear what she says so we can show that she's wrong.
00:13:03.020 But, yes, it's a violation according to...
00:13:06.180 There you go.
00:13:08.440 Well, because it could cause a greenish harm.
00:13:09.860 Is that a play on words?
00:13:15.460 All right.
00:13:16.360 Question three.
00:13:17.780 Tammy posts a video after getting the influenza vaccine.
00:13:20.300 She shares that she became permanently paralyzed after receiving her seasonal influenza shot.
00:13:24.840 In the video, she warns others not to get the influenza vaccine because, quote,
00:13:29.060 you're all going to suffer the same way I did, unquote.
00:13:32.240 Pretty dramatic language.
00:13:34.260 Is that wrong if she says...
00:13:36.180 If she doesn't say the last line?
00:13:37.900 Right.
00:13:38.420 Yeah.
00:13:38.680 What part of it makes it wrong?
00:13:39.260 If she just talks about her individual case?
00:13:41.380 Yeah.
00:13:42.280 Yeah.
00:13:42.740 I wonder if she just stopped it right here.
00:13:45.880 Is that okay?
00:13:47.380 We'll see.
00:13:48.600 I'm going to assume...
00:13:49.120 What if she said...
00:13:50.520 What if she claims that her injury came from this?
00:13:53.600 Yeah.
00:13:55.020 Is that enough to trigger?
00:13:57.180 That's right!
00:13:58.220 Exclamation mark.
00:13:59.020 This example violates our policy.
00:14:01.920 I feel like we should get a sticker for this.
00:14:05.900 We do not allow claims that vaccines cause chronic side effects,
00:14:10.320 outside of rare side effects that are recognized by health authorities.
00:14:14.240 Okay.
00:14:14.480 Well, what if it's a rare chronic side effect?
00:14:18.560 While we may make exceptions for content in which creators describe their or their family's
00:14:24.060 first-hand experiences, we recognize there is a difference between sharing personal experiences
00:14:28.760 and promoting misinformation about vaccines.
00:14:31.660 So it's misinformation promoting if you talk about things that are, in fact, rare side
00:14:38.500 effects that do actually happen.
00:14:40.320 You're misinforming people by telling them things that do, in fact, actually happen.
00:14:43.700 As soon as you say, oh, we thought this was rare, but it's not rare, that is misinformation
00:14:48.880 cause it's...
00:14:49.820 There you go.
00:14:50.460 Yeah.
00:14:50.780 ...questioning.
00:14:51.380 What exactly does rare mean?
00:14:53.080 Yeah.
00:14:54.060 How, how, how, uh, what would the case incidents have to be for it to still be considered
00:15:01.280 rare, right?
00:15:02.940 All right.
00:15:03.820 I hate this question.
00:15:04.980 Okay.
00:15:05.320 Question four.
00:15:06.400 Pablo, Diversity, uploads a video in which he criticizes a university's requirement that
00:15:12.040 all incoming students be vaccinated against certain diseases like polio or measles, mumps,
00:15:16.520 and rubella.
00:15:17.700 In the video, Pablo says that these vaccines don't work because they don't reduce the number
00:15:21.900 of people who get diseases.
00:15:23.140 Again, these seem like they are, the examples are very exaggerated.
00:15:30.440 Yeah.
00:15:30.600 Like it's, um, obviously you can find people with like, not a well nuanced conversation,
00:15:38.440 but like, I've seen many around this that maybe would doubt the significance or the amount
00:15:46.180 that affected and like, well, what were the other kind of sanitary and health conditions
00:15:50.740 leading up to that, that maybe had a play into it.
00:15:53.840 So like, you could always find somebody with this kind of like simple view, but, um,
00:16:00.640 this example violates our policy because public claims that vaccines don't reduce the contraction
00:16:10.380 of diseases.
00:16:11.420 Okay.
00:16:12.900 Content claiming that vaccines do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease is not
00:16:17.060 allowed on YouTube because it contradicts information from health authorities and could
00:16:20.480 cause egregious harm.
00:16:21.300 All right.
00:16:22.060 So what about during, James, I can't even say it.
00:16:26.060 We're going to get flagged again for this flagging video.
00:16:28.900 What about if you have a health authority?
00:16:30.440 I think this whole video is going to.
00:16:32.740 What if you have a health authority that, oh, I don't know.
00:16:37.740 I just, I'm not going to say it.
00:16:39.300 What, what vaccine, what transmission reduction and contraction, like what percentages, what
00:16:47.860 give me a number?
00:16:49.720 Like, are we going to say that every vaccine is 100% effective?
00:16:53.460 I don't, I don't even think, I don't think Anthony Fauci would say that.
00:16:57.460 They're, they all work.
00:16:59.280 They're, they're all safe.
00:17:01.280 They're all safe.
00:17:02.280 They're all effective.
00:17:02.700 And just, and just shut up and take it.
00:17:05.860 Don't question.
00:17:06.680 Don't think.
00:17:07.280 Don't.
00:17:07.940 Nope.
00:17:08.880 Nope.
00:17:09.120 Let's learn about Yvonne now.
00:17:10.420 Question five, seven.
00:17:11.880 Yvonne and her friends live stream a discussion about COVID-19.
00:17:15.740 Yvonne says that the most tragic part of the pandemic was that some government leaders
00:17:19.380 failed to respond quickly enough.
00:17:21.500 She says, quote, this never would have happened if the government made the right decisions.
00:17:25.360 The pandemic is the government's fault.
00:17:27.400 Unquote.
00:17:28.740 Interesting question.
00:17:29.980 Interesting question.
00:17:30.620 Because this is a very specifically worded question too.
00:17:35.160 Like I, I didn't expect this one actually.
00:17:37.440 This is tough because this is the type of person that YouTube likes.
00:17:40.300 I think this is, this is the type of, uh, like this person I don't think would have,
00:17:45.600 I don't actually, I legitimately, legitimately don't know how to answer the question.
00:17:49.920 Because there, there are people, you, you could find somebody, this just sums it up.
00:17:55.320 You could find somebody on like either side of, there's some that say should have locked
00:17:59.520 down harder and they didn't do enough.
00:18:01.760 And the harm, like all the other stuff, the reason it went on for four years is because
00:18:06.240 they didn't shut down hard enough and fast enough.
00:18:09.760 So.
00:18:10.260 I'm going to say no.
00:18:11.200 Let's say no.
00:18:13.260 What do you think?
00:18:14.020 Okay.
00:18:19.920 We have unlimited chances.
00:18:23.220 It doesn't really matter, but we have unlimited, okay.
00:18:26.040 Maybe, maybe they're trying to trick us.
00:18:28.080 Maybe they're trying to.
00:18:30.240 That's correct.
00:18:31.240 This example does not violate our policy because Yvonne doesn't deny the existence of the COVID-19
00:18:36.760 pandemic.
00:18:39.400 Oh, that's amazing.
00:18:41.100 Props, props to YouTube for having just a little bit of nuance.
00:18:44.360 Well, but, but let's, let's take this example.
00:18:47.480 Let's take this thought experiment a little bit further.
00:18:49.600 The pandemic is the government's fault in this quote.
00:18:52.960 Okay.
00:18:53.780 So does that mean that it's okay to say that, uh, Anthony Fauci through a third party paid,
00:19:00.100 uh, a biomedical lab in China to create the COVID-19 virus?
00:19:06.060 That would be the government's fault.
00:19:07.560 Would it not?
00:19:08.020 Yeah, it doesn't deny, doesn't deny the pandemic.
00:19:14.140 It just, yeah.
00:19:15.080 But we already know that people talk about the origin.
00:19:17.720 Well, maybe not anymore, but at least they used to anyway.
00:19:21.320 Yeah.
00:19:21.500 I wonder, Hey, we're yeah.
00:19:23.000 How much does that change?
00:19:25.100 Ooh, another diverse individual.
00:19:28.140 Jing is a nurse who makes educational health content in her latest video.
00:19:32.600 She shares that since getting the COVID-19 vaccine last year, she has had three miscarriages.
00:19:37.040 She says that the COVID-19 vaccine made her infertile.
00:19:41.660 Select all the correct answers.
00:19:43.480 Interesting.
00:19:45.000 Okay.
00:19:45.740 This video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is a medical professional.
00:19:49.300 This video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is allowed to share her personal experience.
00:19:53.800 This video doesn't violate the policy because Jing is not spreading medical misinformation.
00:19:59.220 Okay.
00:19:59.880 So the last line is what's going to trip it.
00:20:03.380 She says that the COVID-19 vaccine made her infertile.
00:20:10.480 This is a good question.
00:20:13.080 I'm trying to put my brain in the head of the 20-year-old that wrote this question.
00:20:19.560 And this does seem like something they would say because, you know, unless you're a, you know, she makes educational health content.
00:20:31.320 So she must have an active, you know, account that isn't banned from her, you know, putting, you know, anti-vaccine stuff off.
00:20:38.040 We have to assume that, I presume, right?
00:20:42.200 Yeah.
00:20:42.680 So I'm going to say that none of those are correct.
00:20:46.520 Not even this one?
00:20:47.680 Because...
00:20:49.560 No, because her personal experience is making a claim about the safety of the shot.
00:20:57.240 Yeah.
00:20:58.540 Interesting.
00:21:00.280 That's my...
00:21:01.160 Okay, so like none of them?
00:21:03.100 It's because she's making a wide statement outside of her...
00:21:08.160 Like, it's, you know, the rare side effect kind of thing?
00:21:12.120 She's making it seem...
00:21:13.500 I don't know.
00:21:14.900 That's my...
00:21:16.620 Yeah, interesting because...
00:21:17.500 Unless you think otherwise.
00:21:19.560 Well, they're going to say...
00:21:20.820 They're going to say that she can't know that it was the vaccine that made her infertile, right?
00:21:26.260 Okay, let's select none of them.
00:21:30.200 Oh.
00:21:31.060 Oh, really?
00:21:31.640 It didn't allow me to do that.
00:21:32.580 Okay, okay.
00:21:33.360 Maybe that's...
00:21:34.020 Let's try this.
00:21:34.720 Let's try this one.
00:21:35.440 I'm going to try this one.
00:21:40.200 Mike, I thought we were really going to 100% this.
00:21:43.460 I know.
00:21:44.020 I'm so...
00:21:44.400 I feel so bad.
00:21:45.440 That's correct.
00:21:46.000 We don't allow content that claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine causes infertility
00:21:49.880 because that contradicts information from health authorities.
00:21:53.040 Unless, of course, it's AstraZeneca reporting their own data and could cause egregious harm.
00:22:00.520 Honestly, it could cause egregious harm.
00:22:03.120 However, we may make exceptions for content.
00:22:05.120 It's egregious when things are spontaneously reported.
00:22:08.720 Yeah, when certain things spontaneously...
00:22:11.420 Are rejected.
00:22:16.000 Rejected, yeah.
00:22:16.620 You know when you just decide that you're just going to just terminate the call.
00:22:23.120 However, we may make exceptions for content like this where the creator describes their
00:22:26.680 or their family's first sentence.
00:22:27.840 Yeah, okay.
00:22:28.540 Okay.
00:22:29.880 Good question.
00:22:31.040 So maybe...
00:22:31.680 Maybe it didn't...
00:22:32.420 Because it didn't say all vaccine...
00:22:35.020 Like, it wasn't a...
00:22:36.340 It was still tied into her personal...
00:22:39.420 Yeah.
00:22:40.720 Yeah.
00:22:41.100 ...experience.
00:22:42.720 Oh, okay.
00:22:43.780 Sehar.
00:22:44.880 I'm going to guess.
00:22:46.140 Sehar uploaded a video saying that she still has stage 4 lung cancer after several rounds
00:22:50.740 of chemotherapy.
00:22:52.100 So it's clear that chemotherapy did not work for them.
00:22:55.920 Oh, Sehar is a they-them.
00:22:57.540 Okay.
00:22:57.980 That's good, too.
00:22:58.780 This is...
00:22:59.440 Honestly, these questions just keep getting more diverse.
00:23:01.560 I'm just...
00:23:02.240 I'm such a fan of diversity in these questions.
00:23:04.500 Actually, we should have gone through and double-checked all the...
00:23:08.140 We should have sampled all the races and genders.
00:23:11.020 I think there was only one...
00:23:12.520 I think there was only one male name, and that was Pablo.
00:23:16.420 So that's okay, because that was diverse.
00:23:18.660 Okay.
00:23:19.100 This video doesn't violate the policy because stage 4 lung cancer is incurable.
00:23:23.360 This video doesn't violate the policy because Sehar is allowed to share...
00:23:26.420 Oh, now she's a her.
00:23:27.840 She's a her-them.
00:23:29.520 To share her personal experience with approved cancer treatments.
00:23:32.860 This video doesn't violate the policy because everyone knows that chemotherapy doesn't work.
00:23:37.020 Like, this video violates the policy because Sehar is discouraging others from getting chemotherapy.
00:23:42.620 Interesting.
00:23:43.380 There's nothing directly discouraging others.
00:23:45.640 No.
00:23:45.960 No.
00:23:46.280 It's this one, I'm sure.
00:23:48.320 Yeah.
00:23:48.800 Yeah.
00:23:49.400 Okay.
00:23:49.800 Yeah.
00:23:50.020 Try it.
00:23:50.840 Because, well, it doesn't have 100% efficacy anyways.
00:23:55.680 Yeah.
00:23:56.260 Yeah.
00:23:56.520 Okay.
00:23:56.720 So no treatment or no thing is like 100%, so...
00:24:01.240 Yeah.
00:24:01.820 Yeah.
00:24:02.520 Okay.
00:24:03.200 Sweet.
00:24:03.320 I guess they're less concerned about the cancer sphere of information.
00:24:07.020 Right now.
00:24:08.060 And others' fears.
00:24:10.040 Nice work.
00:24:11.480 Nice work, James.
00:24:12.380 You've completed the training.
00:24:13.900 We appreciate you taking the time to help us keep YouTube safe.
00:24:18.380 So our warning will expire September 24th.
00:24:20.840 Wow, that's a long time.
00:24:21.600 I guess that's 90 days.
00:24:23.420 So we better not violate this medical misinformation policy again, otherwise we'll get a strike.
00:24:28.120 Here's the thing.
00:24:28.920 Do you think...
00:24:30.240 What if this video triggers the same medical misinformation?
00:24:34.840 Yeah.
00:24:35.280 If we violate a different policy, however, we'll get another warning with the opportunity
00:24:40.240 to take another training.
00:24:41.860 Okay.
00:24:42.920 Interesting.
00:24:44.320 So...
00:24:44.600 Here's my prediction.
00:24:45.340 Should we appeal?
00:24:45.740 If we...
00:24:46.740 Um...
00:24:48.740 I don't...
00:24:52.200 I don't...
00:24:53.200 I don't know.
00:24:54.920 It depends on...
00:24:55.200 I'm almost tempted to...
00:24:57.060 Because I want to see...
00:24:58.580 Like, I want to see if we can get a response from a human saying what exactly our violation
00:25:05.520 was by reporting on AstraZeneca's own policy.
00:25:10.300 Um...
00:25:12.060 Or test data, rather.
00:25:14.700 Here's...
00:25:15.260 Here's the thing.
00:25:15.900 All it would take is for them to find a moment of Sheldon saying they don't work.
00:25:23.940 That, like, he did make a general claim to, like, it's like, they don't work.
00:25:27.720 We know they don't work, and...
00:25:30.520 Yeah.
00:25:31.360 Technically, that would align with their policy of a claim on the safety and efficacy.
00:25:36.500 And that's enough for them to, as we go through, that's...
00:25:41.720 Even if it's AstraZeneca's own data, it's, like, he maybe didn't state...
00:25:49.300 Have the exact statement of talking about AstraZeneca at that very moment.
00:25:54.300 If it's...
00:25:55.300 If it was pulled back and it was more general, then that would be claimed it's a...
00:25:59.420 A statement against the who at that point.
00:26:02.660 Yeah, right.
00:26:03.580 Yeah.
00:26:04.600 Okay.
00:26:05.520 Okay.
00:26:06.140 Well, here, why don't we do this?
00:26:09.640 Let's...
00:26:10.120 Not appeal now.
00:26:11.240 We could ask for these...
00:26:12.660 We could always ask for the exact...
00:26:14.360 Like, what was the exact statement?
00:26:17.540 Yeah.
00:26:17.880 And see if they...
00:26:19.020 Well, I think...
00:26:19.980 So, based on what you said, why don't we not appeal now?
00:26:23.460 We'll upload this video.
00:26:25.880 See if this one gets flagged.
00:26:27.700 If it does not, then we can, you know, take it from there.
00:26:32.820 If it does as well, that's when we're going to be at risk of a strike, I guess.
00:26:37.200 Or we'll just get an automatic strike.
00:26:39.240 Like, and then we should appeal one or both of them to...
00:26:42.620 This is getting really, like, meta at this point of, like, we're going to appeal the video
00:26:46.640 or we're talking about the original video that we didn't appeal, but, like, you know what
00:26:50.700 I mean, right?
00:26:52.340 Yeah.
00:26:52.820 So, I think if we do get a strike, it goes away after 90 days.
00:26:57.180 Right.
00:26:57.580 So, I think you can...
00:26:59.280 There's a cool-down period.
00:27:01.780 But, so...
00:27:03.240 Wait.
00:27:04.000 Yeah, I'm curious.
00:27:04.680 Are you sure you want to leave?
00:27:08.780 Okay, we already did this.
00:27:09.940 Oh, if we...
00:27:11.200 Okay.
00:27:12.240 Leave a...
00:27:12.900 Oh, okay.
00:27:14.520 Wait, we'll just close it.
00:27:16.500 Okay.
00:27:17.200 Cool.
00:27:17.720 Well...
00:27:18.040 But, is it...
00:27:21.420 Are we still...
00:27:24.160 Did it...
00:27:24.540 Did that actually take?
00:27:26.680 Yeah, training completed.
00:27:28.460 Training completed.
00:27:29.340 There we go.
00:27:29.940 Yeah.
00:27:30.560 There we go.
00:27:32.080 So, I suppose this probably just stays on here until it falls off.
00:27:37.180 Yeah.
00:27:38.200 Okay.
00:27:39.380 Well, there we go.
00:27:39.980 I'm curious if we'll get double flagged if there are discussion on...
00:27:44.980 Yeah, that'll be interesting.
00:27:48.980 Cool.
00:27:49.640 Well, how...
00:27:50.560 Do you feel...
00:27:51.520 What do you feel...
00:27:53.700 Like, do you feel like we probably got like a...
00:27:55.260 That was probably a diploma.
00:27:56.380 I wouldn't say that that was a...
00:27:57.760 Or maybe a certificate.
00:27:58.860 Maybe not a diploma.
00:28:00.260 I would say I have at least a certificate now in medical misinformation policy.
00:28:06.040 I feel like we were already experts in that.
00:28:09.340 In creating misinformation.
00:28:12.260 According to their...
00:28:13.900 According to their definitions, but...
00:28:17.640 I was actually...
00:28:18.660 The thing that actually disturbed me the most was how Seyhard turned from a they-them to a she in the question.
00:28:24.620 I feel like that was actually probably...
00:28:26.100 They probably misgendered Seyhard in their own questioning.
00:28:29.340 Could be a she-slash-they.
00:28:31.380 So...
00:28:31.700 Yeah.
00:28:32.020 And that gives you the flexibility there.
00:28:34.680 Yeah.
00:28:37.940 Yeah, I guess...
00:28:39.900 It is that month.
00:28:41.680 YouTube should be more careful during this month.
00:28:43.900 That's right.
00:28:44.520 Be more inclusive that way.
00:28:45.800 Right.
00:28:46.800 Well, okay.
00:28:47.800 Well, James, that's...
00:28:49.360 I think we'll keep her at about, you know, 30-ish minutes here for this short episode on our...
00:28:54.900 Documenting our YouTube re-education.
00:28:57.180 A short re-education, man.
00:28:58.840 Yeah.
00:28:58.960 I'd like to thank Sundar Pishai for this opportunity to expand my mind.
00:29:09.540 And I feel...
00:29:12.020 Honestly, I just feel more...
00:29:14.860 I just feel like my appreciation for global health authorities has grown.
00:29:21.380 And I regret my actions.
00:29:24.540 I don't know about you.
00:29:25.320 I don't know if you still are going to insist on being...
00:29:28.320 You know, having this tendency to question things and to, you know, come to certain conclusions based on changing data.
00:29:34.920 But, you know, for me, at least, I don't...
00:29:38.160 I don't see the benefit in that.
00:29:39.880 If we're going to get strikes, you know, I think I'm just going to have to...
00:29:43.780 I think I'm going to have to just, you know, stick to what I'm told from now on.
00:29:47.960 Yeah, it's...
00:29:50.720 I won't say anything but one thing, but I'm going to avoid the sun.
00:29:54.440 I'm going to only eat three ounces of red meat per week.
00:29:57.920 Twelve servings of grains a day, remember?
00:30:01.320 Yeah, today I ate five times the amount of my daily allotted amount of red meat, so...
00:30:08.200 I had a bowl of ground beef for dinner before coming on this call, so I think we're both...
00:30:14.920 Where are the negatives?
00:30:16.240 Our beef quota is...
00:30:19.440 We have to, like, abstain from it for the next two months just to make up for the...
00:30:25.420 For the methane that we've...
00:30:27.280 That our behavior has injected into the atmosphere.
00:30:29.980 Okay, James, let's quit while we're ahead here.
00:30:32.260 Thanks for your time today.
00:30:34.840 Appreciate you undergoing this re-education with me, and we'll see you guys in probably a week or so with another dangerous take, probably.
00:30:44.880 Yeah, see you in the next one.
00:30:46.560 Cheers, cheers.
00:30:46.940 Cheers.
00:30:47.080 Cheers.
00:30:47.760 Cheers.
00:30:48.360 Cheers.
00:30:48.680 Cheers.
00:31:00.220 Cheers.

00:31:04.680 Cheers.
