YouTube announced on Wednesday that it will now be extending current rules about lies. It is also cracking down on propaganda, and conspiracy theories about the coronavirus. The efforts also extend to include misinformation about coronavirus vaccines. Gizmodo says the video giant now says it prohibits false content about coronavirus vaccines. They will not allow videos that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities. This includes bogus claims that the vaccine is a pretext to stick people with tracking chips.
Fox News contributor Dr. Scott Atlas is a neuroradiologist with no experience or training in public health, infectious diseases, or epidemiology. And yet, he's a key adviser to President Donald Trump on his coronavirus task force, as well as a senior fellow at Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institution. Atlas has pushed a controversial theory of so-called 'herd immunity' with respect to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The theory is unsupported by science. He has urged people not to wear face masks or socially distance and to resist lockdown restrictions--most notably in Michigan. Now, Stanford University’s faculty senate has issued a forceful condemnation of Atlas for spreading disinformation about COVID-19. According to HuffPost, the censure states that Atlas's behavior is “anathema to our values and belief that we should use knowledge for good.'
Experts aren't sure when Americans who've survived the coronavirus will be eligible for a vaccine. Some leading trials, including Moderna's, excluded anyone with a history of coronavirus infection. Researchers don't yet know how a vaccine would affect those people. Without that data, experts say, it's unwise to inoculate people who were previously infected. This is particularly if they have lingering symptoms, says Business Insider.
Dr. Deborah Birx one of the White House's most senior coronavirus advisers, issued a dire warning on November 2. Dr. Birx her warned the Covid-19 pandemic is going to get much, much worse before it gets any better. Birx said: "We are entering the most concerning and most deadly phase of this pandemic". Dr. Birx went on to warn that the coming weeks and months could lead to an increased mortality rate from the virus. Dr, Birx warned that the US could see more than 100,000 new cases per day this week. Birx cautions that as hospitals fill up, we could see a return to hospitals operating at capacity and rationing ventilators.
