Medical denialism is not simply an "opposing viewpoint", it's a lie that will kill people.

YouTube doesn't just have the right to remove this trash from their platform, they have an obligation to.

The same way you would have an ethical obligation to issue a retraction and cease sales if you, for instance, published a book including an article from one of these wackos.
