So would YouTube ban a video on how the NIH has prioritized research on ivermectin as a potential COVID-19 treatment?

Or how about a report on this randomized controlled trial which found that ivermectin was an effective treatment?

FYI - there was another "major" study published which claims to show the opposite for ivermectin: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28388433.

I will never understand the hubris that drives YouTube to think that, because some of their corporate antecedents built a wildly successful search and advertising platform, they are qualified to differentiate fact from fiction.

ok kewl slashdot == pulp, got it

link was mangled while posting, no intention to cross link or obfusicate the submission.

I don't know if it's pulp, it's just not the original source, and posting a forum thread as a forum thread is too much indirection!
