Has YouTube said why they took it down? I mean, they are a private company so as far as I'm concerned they can take down whatever they want but I'm curious if they have given a reason. Is it because they think it's an Ad? Some rule against certain content?

No they haven’t, but I know the health department issued a statement saying they didn’t agree with some of the things the doctors said they agreed with them on and had a different take on the conversation the doctors had with their director. I know YouTube has a policy against leaving up videos with Corvid misinformation, so I’ll assume they felt it fell within that category.

Most of those decisions are made by algorithms, so the reason YouTube hasn’t responded to requests for comments is they are probably figuring out why it was removed themselves.
