YouTube’s Censorship of Dissenting Doctors Will Backfire

The remarks of the Bakersfield doctors are probably a mix of truths and errors. YouTube's removal of the video does the public a disservice in both regards.
To the extent that they are wrong, their errors should be aired out and refuted. Any mistake the doctors made will probably be made again, since the human mind tends to fall prey to the same basic fallacies. By developing and disseminating counter-arguments (mental antibodies) to them, we develop our immunity to these and similar errors.
By sheltering us from the videos, YouTube has limited the extent to which that social learning can happen and insulated any error from debunking.
Moreover, even if the physicians are wrong in some ways (like in their statistical claims), they may be right in other important ways.
Wrong orthodoxies are far more dangerous than wrong heresies, simply as a matter of the scale of the error’s impact. That is yet another reason why open discourse is so vital. For the sake of human welfare, orthodox falsehoods need to be overthrown, and heretical truths need to spread.
