Freedom of speech doesn't guarantee you a platform to spread it on. Anti-Vax people can still say and think what they want, but Youtube isn't required to give a bullhorn to speech that is a danger to public health.
That may be, but it doesn't mean that I or anyone else has to be (or should be) okay with it. I don't merrily go along with censorship, not for any reason. Especially in this new age of McCarthyism that we call "wokeism" and "cancel culture". I support free speech, no matter how incorrect, crude, or contrary to science or my own opinions or beliefs it may be.
I don't understand people and organizations who don't. It's like people who say they're okay with anti-abortion rallies, but not ones for racial justice because, "oh, they'll probably just riot". Either you support the right to free speech or you don't. There's no middle ground. I support it. That's why I don't support what youtube is doing, even though what the anti-vaxxers continue saying is wrong.
And to be fair, when it comes to vaccines, I seem to remember someone else didn't trust the guy in charge either.
But that's the beauty of free speech.
