Epidemiologist who opposes coronavirus lockdown is censored by YouTube.

Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski, the subject of one of The College Fix’s most read and commented-on articles, says YouTube removed a video in which he criticizes COVID-19 stay-at home measures and advocates a “herd immunity” approach.

Wittkowski, the former (20-year) head of Rockefeller University’s Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design, told the New York Post he has “no idea” why YouTube took down the video.

“I was just explaining what we had,” he said. “They don’t tell you. They just say it violates our community standards. There’s no explanation for what those standards are or what standards it violated.”

According to the Post report, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki had told CNN “anything that goes against [World Health Organization] recommendations would be a violation of our policy and so removal is another really important part of our policy.”
