YouTube, Facebook split on removal of doctors' viral coronavirus videos.
On Monday, the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine releasedcritical of Erickson and Massihi’s opinions as expressed in the video calling them “reckless and untested musings” that “do not speak for medical societies and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19.
“We’re out Trumpin’,” Erickson said in the video, while waving a flag from the roadside in the now-private or deleted video archived by NBC News. “The time for silence is over.” “You have to think about this as a balancing act,” he said. “You have to balance the collateral damage with the medical illness and say which one has a worse effect on society.”
By Wednesday, the video had been seen at least 15 million times and shared by hundreds of thousands of accounts on both Facebook and YouTube, according to an NBC analysis of the most popular videos across platforms. The video had also been spread widely in dozens of private Facebook groups dedicated to statewide protests against states’ quarantine measures and the anti-vaccination movement, where activists fear a coming coronavirus vaccine.
