Last month we were among those who helped spread the news of a mother who lit up her local school board over their mask mandates for kids.

Grabien Media founder Tom Elliott shared the video on their YouTube page, and guess what happened next:

Wait, “we think it violates our medical misinformation policy”?

I’ve updated Grabien’s post of this video w/ a transcript of the mother’s full comments. Can anyone find anything she says that contradicts WHO guidance on Covid, as YouTube/Google claims? Because I can’t. https://t.co/V1qvX4z10N

Parents are allowed to express opinions over whether their children should be forced into wearing masks. Parents' perspectives are a valid part of the public debate. This mother does not represent herself as a doctor or medical expert.

So now a parent presenting his or her opinion is “dangerous”?

Incidentally the WHO agrees with this mother that there is currently no scientific basis for compelling all children to wear masks indoors/outdoors as a measure to stop the spread of Covid. So YouTube's "medical misinformation" claim is entirely false. https://t.co/nOSI7eF5z3

I appealed, noting there's nothing in the WHO guidance this mother is contradicting (supposedly the basis of the video being taken offline). @YouTube has already rejected the appeal. Apparently the platform must remain "safe" from concerned mothers. pic.twitter.com/JyTmaaol5u

Sum it all up, and here we are:
