We'll have to see how YouTube handles its new misinfo policy in practice, but I'm a little skeptical. Determined anti-vaxx activists have always been able to exploit loopholes, and YouTube leaves some big ones up on its platform. (To be fair, *all* the platforms have loopholes.) pic.twitter.com/EyxI2UMq2l

A couple of the Disinformation Dozen are still on YouTube, however. Like Kelly Brogan and Christiane Northrup (not linking their channels here).

Facebook bans explicit antivaxx groups, but they don't ban groups for quack "cures" that antivaxxers push instead.

So in the last couple of months, Ivermectin groups have become the new hubs for antivaxx messaging.
But there's a problem: Ivermectin, by itself, isn’t working.

Meanwhile, popular anti-vaccine influencers remain live on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, where they actively use the platforms to sell books or videos. https://t.co/WGzoBrE8TC

Imagine how much they're going to freak out if Facebook bans them as well.
