Vaccine mandates can become a 'political battleground,' former FDA commissioner says

YouTube on Wednesday announced it will remove videos that spread false information about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and any other commonly used vaccines. Accounts associated with several prominent figures — such as Robert Kennedy Jr. — who spread false claims, will also be removed. William Brangham discusses the move with Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA commissioner.
