The Drs. Dan Erickson and Artin Massahi video had over 5,000,000 views in 3 days when it was taken down by the owners of YouTube-- (not "Despacito" territory, but impressive). The comments section was filled with interesting discussion (I'd say as many against as for, but I didn't count). It gave people a public sphere. The point by point dissection of the doctors' presentation by many commenters expanded understanding. Many of the commenters provided refutation and data analysis. Taking the presentation down ended the discussion.

The rush to censor is fearful. At least the Erickson and Massahi video provided (for a brief few days) a forum where people of different viewpoints engaged each other.
