A top official at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) demanded the removal of YouTube videos of himself that were published by a physician and writer who has been critical of medical misinformation and public health officials in the Trump administration, according to a YouTube notice that was seen by the Guardian.
Jonathan Howard, a neurologist and psychiatrist in New York City, received an email from YouTube on Friday night, which stated that Vinay Prasad, who is the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, had demanded the removal of six videos of himself from Howard’s YouTube channel.
Howard’s entire channel has now been deleted by YouTube, which cited copyright infringement.
Time for turbo Streisand effect. Going to need a few dozen mirrors of those six videos now.
YouTube deleted his entire channel. I can’t find the videos anywhere else. I did find someone on Reddit is working on recovering them with the waybackmachine.
Jonathon Howard can set up shop on another video streamer site. I’m assuming he still has the videos.
You don’t get to make statements as a government official and then claim copyright. The government can not hold copyright.
Well, except under fascism when the fusion of government and corporations will take care of it for you, the law be damned.
Dude. The internet never forgets you being a total piece of shit. Sorry but thems the facts. Suck it.
Is this a sign that he now realizes his criticisms were invalid? That would be a rare moment of rationality from a Trump administration official.
No he wants to bury the truth so he appears to be non biased against vaccines when he clearly is.
It’s information suppression
Ah, that makes more sense, sadly enough.
These people either don’t care they lie or have zero introspection.
Most probably he dealt with it and moved on, unchanged
