YouTube shuts down video featuring DeSantis that suggests children do not need to wear masks
YouTube quickly moved to axe a video featuring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and several experts questioning the effectiveness of mask-wearing among children.
According to The Wrap, the American Institute for Economic Research s video featured DeSantis engaging in a roundtable discussion with a number of public health advisors including former President Donald Trump s inexperienced coronavirus advisor Dr. Scott Atlas, Oxford epidemiologist Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Harvard professor Dr. Martin Kulldorff, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford University.
The discussion transcript details the group s condemnation of children wearing masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of them agreed masks were not necessary for children. Children should not wear face masks. No. They don t need it for their own protection and they don t need it for protecting other people either, Kulldorff said at

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is one of the only governors in the country with a good coronavirus record. Deaths in the state have remained relatively low, which is an even greater feat when you take into account Florida’s large elderly population, and almost everyone is now eligible for the vaccine. Given these successes, you’d think other leaders and health experts would want to listen to what DeSantis has to say about the choices he made to help the state navigate the pandemic. Instead, they’re trying to shut him up.
YouTube removed a video of DeSantis’s recent press conference this week in which he discussed the coronavirus lockdown and which restrictions he did and did not find necessary. Several other physicians and scientists, including Dr. Scott Atlas, joined him for the policy discussion and rightly pointed out that strict lockdown measures come with their own severe health consequences.

In October 2020, the Geneva-based Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), an influential non-profit group that promotes sustainable cotton production, suspended licensing of Xinjiang cotton, citing allegations and increasing risks of forced labor.
