In the months that followed the launch of the COVID-19 vaccine misinformation policy, YouTube observed content and realized there appeared to be an interaction between general vaccine hesitancy that was being promoted on the platform and COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. YouTube management said they felt the need to address both.
"Since last year, we’ve removed over 130,000 videos for violating our COVID-19 vaccine policies," the YouTube team said.
At the same time, YouTube will allow scientific discussions about the content of specific clinical trials and historical videos about vaccines.
