YouTube will ban all “harmful vaccine content” from its platform, including claims that vaccines are ineffective at reducing disease transmission. The ban comes after a year of escalating censorship by the Google-owned company.
“We’ve steadily seen false claims about the coronavirus vaccines spill over into misinformation about vaccines in general, and we’re now at a point where it’s more important than ever to expand the work we started with Covid-19 to other vaccines,” YouTube said in a blog post on Wednesday.
The new rules prohibit content alleging that vaccines “cause chronic side effects,” that they “do not reduce transmission or contraction of disease,” and that they contain unlisted ingredients like fetal cells. The rules apply to all currently approved and administered vaccines, and not just Covid-19 shots.
At first glance, the rules are open to interpretation. YouTube’s moderators will have to decide, for instance, whether content discussing side effects strays beyond the “rare side effects that are recognised by health authorities.” Likewise, multiple studies and real-world data have suggested that Covid-19 vaccines are less effective at preventing transmission and infection than previously thought, and some suggest that this efficacy wanes with time.
And, while YouTube explicitly bans claims that vaccines contain fetal tissue or fetal cell lines, shots for various diseases – including Hepatitis A, Rubella and Chickenpox – are actually manufactured using cell lines started in aborted fetal tissue, but individual doses do not contain any of this tissue.
Content violating these new rules will receive a series of “strikes” from YouTube, with three strikes resulting in the termination of the offending channel.
The new policy adds to YouTube’s existing ‘Covid-19 medical misinformation policy,’ which sets out a wide range of forbidden topics regarding the coronavirus. These include videos “encouraging home remedies,” content claiming “that masks do not play a role in preventing the contraction or transmission of Covid-19,” and content “that recommends use of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine for the prevention of Covid-19.”
The latter two topics are controversial, as there is no scientific consensus that masks prevent transmission of the virus, and Ivermectin has shown some promise in studies as a treatment for Covid-19.
Nevertheless, YouTube stated on Wednesday that over 130,000 videos have been removed since last year for violating this policy.
Among the channels banned were two of RT’s German-language channels, which were permanently deleted by YouTube this week. YouTube issued the bans after discovering alleged “medical misinformation” in four videos. Among these cases of “misinformation” was an interview with German epidemiologist Friedrich Puerner, who was critical of his government’s methods of battling the pandemic.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists on Wednesday that the banning amounted to “a case of censorship, and of obstructing the dissemination of information by the media,” and would be investigated by Russian media regulators, adding “there must be zero tolerance for such violations of the law.”

Just encountered a Doctor today, head of a hospital. Trying to tell me the jab was safe and effective. “Studies” were showing good results… I asked him about the VAERS report of over 14,000 deaths, he was NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT DATA OR WEBSITE. Asked him about the reproductive harm the jab is doing… he said “it’s not”. I asked him about the Saulk Institute study that found evidence of infertility caused by the jab. He was NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT DATA…He said 90% of Doctors have taken jab and they checked all the data and made their decision to take it. ( remember their jobs are on the line).
We need to pray earnestly for our medical professionals!!!! They are under incredible pressure and duress! They are doing a magnificent job in adverse conditions!! Father, help, heal and deliver our doctors and nurses! Save them in Yahshua’s mighty Name!!
Wow, amazing how ignorant this head of the hospital is. This is a great example of how dark is the darkness over medical doctors.

I heard this morning that Pfizer has a new way to combat covid. First name Pfizer, last name mectin and it is exactly the same content as Ivermectin. How interesting!!!!!!!
It probably has ivermectin plus a few more nanobots/graphene/heavy metals to join up with the vex components already in the body. So they make the money and poison you even more.Wouldn’t touch their ‘meds’ with a bargepole!
Great point Christine!
I wouldn’t touch it either but here is the latest in Victoria with Daniel Andrews. Joke’: Victorian golfers up in arms over ‘ridiculous’ toilet ban

Golfers around Victoria have been left fuming after new Covid-19 restrictions in the state banned the use of all indoor facilities at golf clubs, including toilets.
The Victorian government lifted a ban on recreational golf and tennis this week, a move welcomed by tens of thousands in the state.
I awoke from powerful dream this morning. In the dream the Covid propaganda stood before me as a cunning witch speaking sweetly, disguised as my sister. Yet I knew right away the spirit of witchcraft was standing before me. I had a long wooden rod in my hand (representing the authority of Christ), and began using the rod to push the witch off my land. The witch did not resist the rod but backed off. Then I saw another group of people on my land and the witch ran toward them. I saw and chased it with my rod and my brother in the group was able to escape. Then I happily saw a health care worker with a beautiful sword representing crystal clear medical truth She began fighting the witch with this sword, but the witch attacked her and sliced her dead to the ground. Then the witch was gone and I left standing with my rod. I sensed the Spirit saying that using our authority in Christ during these evil days will be our successful weapon, and more powerful than we can imagine.
I like your dream Joan because I think the witch imagery is very accurate because the same Greek word used in Revelation 18:23 “pharmakea” is often translated as sorcery but defined as “to administer drugs”. At first I didn’t see the connection, but the vax serum is like sorcery because it’s a counterfeit of what only God can do through our natural immune system. Those who put their trust in it are comparable to those who trust in magic potions and spells, the work of witches and sorcerers. They willingly inject poison into their blood because they don’t believe what the Bible says, that “His divine power has (already in the past tense) given us all things that pertain to life and godliness”. (2 Peter 1:3)
Wow James! Great revelation. And only this morning I am listening to interview from the founder of Alliance For Human Research Protection, Ms. Vera Sharav. She stated vaccines are a Black Art…they have the potential to heal the recipient, but also to kill them. Thank you again for keeping Z3 going.
What an awesome dream Joan. The key element I saw in the words”disguised as my sister” is something I am sensing strongly that snakes have infiltrated the Christian sites like z3, and are brazenly using the LORD’s name in vain, professing to be Christians to corrupt and deceive people. Many will come in His name. Beloved, use discernment.
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, would be so proud. I cannot believe that our country is willingly walking down this road.
