It's not just COVID: YouTube is removing videos with misinformation about all vaccines The video platform announced Wednesday it will remove any misinformation related to vaccines, whether it's focused on specific illnesses or false information about vaccines in general like claims that vaccines cause autism or can track recipients. The change comes as public pressure intensifies on social media companies to root out harmful misinformation contributing to vaccine hesitancy. The United States has reported more than 50,000 COVID-19 deaths in September. "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 statement. #covid19 #coronavirus #vaccine #misinformation #covidvacccine #covidvax #youtube
