Whether any post on the internet is wrong, lying, or otherwise, there needs to be open discourse, not some random people deciding what is and isn't allowed to be posted. It bothers me how many American citizens fundamentally don't understand freedom of speech and why it's important.
It just happened to Vincent Rancanuela the YT professor of Virology that denies any problems with the jab or the pharma fake trials data. He just had his first video pulled down for misinformation and he's so pissed that he's begging his viewers to report Joe Rogan and Lex Friedman for having RFK Jr on.
As an Irish Catholic Patriot in the U.K. I totally agree, especially now that we have Starmer as PM, a disgusting “Labour” globalist serving Communist martinet, who wants to turn the U.K. into the CCP or worse still North Korea and is trying to destroy every area of U.K. society at every level
These people are very much against free speech. Elon is censoring journalists and anyone that says anything negative or critical of him, as well as taking away their blue checkmarks and hiding posts. Elon is a con, just like his criminal buddy Don...
You have to wonder if any of these changes would have been made had Harris won. I’m not sure how sincere his reasons for the change are, but I’m glad changes are being made.
Has Dr VP apologized for his atrocious statements he made on the Dr Zdogg podcast? Sounds like he will no longer be welcome on that pharma shill zdogg show?
Amazingly, there's no blue banner below this clip :) Perhaps Vinay chose the right title and fooled the filters :)) Early in 2020 when they hadn't made those to point to WHO or the CDC, they were directing the public to local or national resources. For my country, it was a web page made by some shady anonymous NGO which apparently was connected to the national emergency services. That site broke all EU regulations regarding data protection and was pushing false/unverified data. So naturally I took to the forum about it. But since G. forums are like a corner of Reddit, i was quickly put down with a nerdy version of "Shut the f down, you racist conspiracist". That was one of my earliest wake up calls it was a top down thing...
Dr Prassad, Happy New Year. Thank you for clarifying the issues around Meta moving away from Fact-checking and explaining community notes. I always learn something from your posts.
You're not a believer in IVM but what is that based upon? Wasn't the early study by Eli Schwartz in Israel on early treatment worth replication? That study was dismissed outright because of the oversized influence if pharma. We need science separated from economic interests, like what Schwartz tried to show.
Getting rid of the fact checker dept is all about cutting costs, and nothing else. Active subscriber numbers are plateauing. Zuckface has a lifestyle to maintain....and a new POTUS to zuck up to.
I doubt that there’s been a sudden epiphany that censorship is wrong,it’s more likely Zuckerberg is simply dealing with the Political and Economic Realities. There were likely to be regulatory repercussions to continuing to push his earlier left wing agenda, so he’s bending with the wind. Remember this is the same guy who spent hundreds of millions driving 2020 voter registration in almost completely left wing parts of the country when it appeared likely the Democrats were going to take power. It’s all about the bucks..
When I was on Facebook, they shadow banned me. I am a conservative so very few saw my posts. Day after day I would post and not get any response in any way about my views. But the worst thing they did was somehow show me what my best friend of 50 years (high school friends) was saying to another person. This was private conversation, not intended for my eyes, but they would post it into my feed. In these conversations I learned she was a raving, hate-filled lunatic over my choice for president. This sweet woman that I had known all my life was unrecognizable to me. I felt our friendship after learning to what extent she had become vile, and literally mentally deranged over her hatred for DJT. I simply wish I had never seen her comments because we probably be fine. But my reaction was horror such that she could have a personality change. So with that and being barred from being heard I meant.
Today I got a message saying my posts will be moved down because some of my posts go against community standards.. I guess censoring is still a thing on meta!
I have seen a ton of pt in with ETOH abuse. And yes you can guess correctly a majority of them started in 2020. Looking forward to your video. Also I am looking forward to more lecture videos.
I tend to ignore human behavior (folly) but I can't help but feel hopeful lately. A pendulum swings both ways, and it does seem like a new direction is underway.
I hope people read this comment. Community notes are not perfect, just like democracy. if 65% of people have an incorrect opinion, this will be reflected in democratic outcomes as well as in the weight of community notes. That said, the "community notes" concept is the most organic and the best option we have presently for preserving freedom of speech. Before "social media", there was "social media" on the internet, but we called it "internet forums". I read an article, that talked about the "self policing" nature of internet forums. I experienced this myself through a few forums I participated in. For example, guitar forums and motorcycle forums. If someone posts bunk (garbage/wrong ideas), then you regularly get several responses stating the OP's (original poster's) opinion is wrong, often with detailed explanations. This is the BEST option we have presently. Certainly, some things (criminal of nature) SHOULD be censored, just as we don't allow these things (that can't be specifically named due to auto-censorship) to occur in the "real world" without punishment, there are things that shouldn't be allowed to flourish on the internet. But opinions on gender, medicine, politics etcetera should NOT be censored. Criminal activity, certainly. Opinions, certainly not!
I wholeheartedly agree. It's just that I wouldn't use the term "far left" for factchekers etc., rather someting like "cultural left" or "bubbled left". Maybe there are better expressions, english is not my mother language. In any case there are significant parts of the "far left" that act far less hysterical - if at all - than the "cultural left".
I’m interested to learn more about Vinay’s “ team”. Are they all medical students? … How many on this team?… What qualifications are required to be in the team? Just curious because I enjoy / look forward to Vinay’s posts … even though he’s wrong about Ivermectin… Early Treatments.
Hey Vinay, I think perhaps you could do a podcast with someone who disagrees with you or have them do a response video to you. Think some more back and forth would be interesting to see how you rebut opposing points in real time.
I love beer that is 500+ years old. What alcohol is now or has turned into ain’t the same. I’m curious on your take of it. Where I’m from (cdn) they (gov) openly praise 100 years of business as if it has been accomplishment. But that’s govt for you, always giving a pat to themselves first. Gambling Addiction Social health implications The cost Behaviour change - out of the gutter Life purpose in self in population goals? Do they want to change? We are a sick society - myself included 😅✌️
How do you know the political persuasion of someone posting a community note? I identify, usually in voting, as a kind of centrist approaching liberal and disagreed with just about all of the COVID narratives mandates, etc. being pushed by "liberal" agendas. Would I have been identified correctly?
@@kimfleury But until today, I have never posted such views. On the contrary I have posted one or 2 posts directly in contrast to what might me the views of "my tribe" in regards to the establishment's response to COVID. So yes, as of today I have 1 post eluding to where I might fall on the political spectrum
Wiki is circling the financial drain (as they should) because of liberal bias. Occasionally I find it useful and if they were neutral, I would have contributed.
Love your lectures and maybe you could do a sexier thumbnail on them so people know that they are for lay people too (even tho they're super nerdy... )
Community notes seems deeply flawed to me because the truth has nothing to do with popularity. Also, any statements of factuality depend on the definitions of words, and definitions have been being very much messed around with contemporarily.
Neither the Scientific Method nor Hippocratic Medicine are about "beliefs" or faith. Stop talking about your "beliefs" about IVM. Beliefs are a red flag.
I just fact checked this video and it says that fact checking is actually very important to maintaining a healthy and fair democracy and it's never wrong and Vinay is just an idiot. That's what the fact check says, so I guess it's fact.
I love pausing on the first frame of Vinay's videos, it always makes him look like he just woke up and has bed hair on maximum slider and not enough pills taken.
I'm sure fact checkers make mistakes and have biases, but community note's can be easily manipulated by bot's. I don't think this will be better, just bad in a different way.
Several points: I don’t always agree with you but I listen to you all the time. I was sad to see an ad for Dr. Gundry after the video. You need to do an occassional video with ZDogg as he keeps you grounded.
I didn't get any ad following the video. RUclips schedules the advertising that play before, during, and after the videos. Dr. Prasad never includes "Paid Promotion" content in his videos, but those are the only ones that the content creator has any control over. If content creators had control over what ads play before, during, and after their videos, it's highly doubtful that the Bible professor I listen to would be choosing to run ads for substances to aid intimacy. RUclips manages to match the most inappropriate ads to certain content.
Dr Prasad, you believe in systematic scepticism as a foundational principle of good science, (3'05") until that is, it's scepticism of your own papers and work!- man up for ffs, stop whining about peer reviewed publications and platforms not accepting your papers as "left wing liberal bias" and just accept that your shit at science, simple, get better at what you do, embrace your own fields principles and ethics, do BETTER science and if through doing that you prove your dubious theses around conventions on medicine and vaccines, bravo! you did good work.
Whether any post on the internet is wrong, lying, or otherwise, there needs to be open discourse, not some random people deciding what is and isn't allowed to be posted. It bothers me how many American citizens fundamentally don't understand freedom of speech and why it's important.
They won’t appreciate this until it happens to them.
It just happened to Vincent Rancanuela the YT professor of Virology that denies any problems with the jab or the pharma fake trials data.

Dr. Prasad is a true treasure.
A national treasure for sure
A international treasure 🪙
A real one
Drive, tenacity, intelligence, honesty
Windsurfers - Zuk didn't have an epiphany, he's watching the free speech trend and Elon made it fashionable again.
Money is their only objective.
These people are very much against free speech. Elon is censoring journalists and anyone that says anything negative or critical of him, as well as taking away their blue checkmarks and hiding posts. Elon is a con, just like his criminal buddy Don...
“Fact checking” is a misnomer. The appropriate phrase is opinion checking aka censorship.
You have to wonder if any of these changes would have been made had Harris won. I’m not sure how sincere his reasons for the change are, but I’m glad changes are being made.
You are a Godsend to the medical industry❤❤❤❤
I love your altruistic ways!!!
Soooo true..thank you
Excellent commentary. I'm in the camp of "Too little, too late."
Has Dr VP apologized for his atrocious statements he made on the Dr Zdogg podcast?
Sounds like he will no longer be welcome on that pharma shill zdogg show?
Thank you Vinay Prasad!
FYI the CDC banner is not on this video
amazing!!
I highly doubt he will end censorship. More likely he'll just go about it differently.
The actual Left is always censored.
Just move away from these platforms, once their revenue declines is the only thing they'll take notice of
This is almost certainly why Meta is changing.
Now the worst one is THIS ONE.
Fact Checkers = On the Oligarchy Payroll
Ministry of truth. Thought police.
Dr. Prasad, thank you for explaining Community Notes is used by X.
The NY Times is certainly not what it used to be.
NYT is a propaganda platform
Thank you for your words from Germany! ❤
I don't appreciate Facebooks dark social experiments on the masses
I love this channel. Thank you Dr. Prasad.
Amazingly, there's no blue banner below this clip :) Perhaps Vinay chose the right title and fooled the filters :))

When will RUclips stop the censorship too?
It's been horrendous this week.
If 3 days ago I had said what you said it wouldn't have been allowed.
Im still being fact checked on Facebook, regarding our dismantling of our education system
So many college graduates are absolutely brainwashed today
Thank you for your insights, Dr.
You are the best.
Totally agree!!
Excellent work!
Let's see what this means for foreign policy. I'm not optimistic.

Looking forward to the alcohol video, as long as it says drinking a glass of bourbon is good for you ;).
TRUTH TELLER ✊
Thank you for the clarification. A voice of reason!
Thank you again for your well articulated thoughts on these topics.
Love what you do
Getting rid of the fact checker dept is all about cutting costs, and nothing else.
Active subscriber numbers are plateauing.
Zuckface has a lifestyle to maintain....and a new POTUS to zuck up to.
I don't think the cost of fact checking was terribly high.
No way your take is correct. Massive lawsuits and criminal charges are the concern for them now.

Can not wait for your video on alcohol !!
I have seen a ton of pt in with ETOH abuse. And yes you can guess correctly a majority of them started in 2020. Looking forward to your video. Also I am looking forward to more lecture videos.
Thanks
Hmmm ... like the idea of Community Notes. Thank you for explaining.
Can anyone else agree that Dr. Prasad is hot?? I love his intellect and the way he thinks along with being good looking😂
That's pretty sassy Sandie!
I agree!
I tend to ignore human behavior (folly) but I can't help but feel hopeful lately. A pendulum swings both ways, and it does seem like a new direction is underway.
Very much looking forward to your content on Alcohol.
I hope people read this comment.

Ooo the gramma comment hurt. Tho I don’t use Facebook.
Amen!!
Dr Prasad takes holds back nothing in this vid!
If he weren't recently rebranded himself then I wouldn't be so skeptical of this new, magnificent step for FB
4:47
Breaking the fourth wall 😢
I don’t see a cdc or covid notification on your video
Anyway, Fb is granny's playground. I am 54 and annoyed by my parents "socializing"
Not related at all but this is a good look for you ❤
Episode 878 of EconTalk podcast is goated not gonna lie.
🗣️📢🔥
No CDC banner
What, YT? No BS Wiki/CDC notice banner for this video? Surely you jest.
No CDC banner as of now!
I love beer that is 500+ years old.
What alcohol is now or has turned into ain’t the same.

Gambling
Addiction
Social health implications
The cost
Behaviour change - out of the gutter
Life purpose in self in population goals?
Do they want to change?
We are a sick society - myself included 😅✌️
Using Facebook in 2025 is a walking L dawg 😭
How do you know the political persuasion of someone posting a community note? I identify, usually in voting, as a kind of centrist approaching liberal and disagreed with just about all of the COVID narratives mandates, etc. being pushed by "liberal" agendas. Would I have been identified correctly?
Yes because your centrist views landed you square in the far right extremist camp by the far left extremists. 😊

No.....
How can you trust someone who hurt so many? I can’t believe you are giving MZ a pass. He should be de-platformed. Hoping to see MZ sued.
Dr. Popper talks about alcohol in this video;
ruclips.net/video/z22Cwl_1E3A/видео.htmlsi=E02YRH1MXsuuukZG
First!
Beat me. Second
Can't just a group of activities just hijack community notes by just spamming it?
Neither the Scientific Method nor Hippocratic Medicine are about "beliefs" or faith. Stop talking about your "beliefs" about IVM. Beliefs are a red flag.

It will 100% be better. Anything is better than letting the state have the power.
facebook subcontracted to fact checkers which brought funding to the platform. totally corrupt.
I'm sure they lie and lie and lie. Not by mistake at all. Not.
Several points: I don’t always agree with you but I listen to you all the time. I was sad to see an ad for Dr. Gundry after the video. You need to do an occassional video with ZDogg as he keeps you grounded.

@ I certainly don’t think Prasad endorses Gundry. If he does have any clout I hope he uses it.
ZDogg was the worst kind of prick on side with the baddies. You have to be kidding
I've wanted to watch, or rather, listen to your lectures, but my time has been eaten up by stuff that needs my concentration.
Lol, I wouldn't describe the fact checkers as far left

Definitely not 💩 Science!!
