to the general public. Dr. Hansen explains.

This looks good.

Can anyone find the link, "down below"?

My phone isn't cooperating.

"NIOSH spelled incorrectly"

Good grief.

Daniel, I've noticed you posted a few videos before with covid info, were they the same person? I've tended to be a little suspicious of video info, is this doc vetted?

I vetted them, SK. Also, I've only posted links from two doctors.

I'll cite their credentials. I'll attempt to address your (plural) scepticism.

I'm sorry for any confusion I might have caused.

Please give me a few days. I don't have time to do this today, and I'll probably have to borrow a tablet if not a computer.

SK,

One of the doctors whose videos I posted is Doctor Chris Mathenson. He is a pathologist. His PhD is from Duke. He's also an economist. He posts at "Peak Prosperity," a site he co-founded.

I haven't found Doctor Mike Hansen's medical credentials yet. I doubt that he's a fake doctor or promoting fake masks, though.

I don't mind if I see (or read) something on the internet, necessarily. My philosophy is that everything has to be evaluated on its own merits.

There is a lot of false information and propaganda in the world. The internet is no different.

Daniel, thanks to those details.
Re this:

on the internet

These days, practically everything I read is on the internet, that wasn't what I was curious about with the links you were posting.

What I was reacting to was the use of YouTube as the platform. Anyone could upload a video to YouTube. But if I read something from a reputable news source that's online, I feel it's more trustworthy, and I know there's been vetting etc. If it's an academic journal, all the more so. In that case, you can see sources, you can get info about editors, authors' affiliations etc.

The first video you posted (i think in this thread) was a doctor talking about a particular types and brand of mask. How do we know he's not being paid by the company that makes those masks?

So I'm not questioning you, or even necessarily the doctor, but rather the use of apparently unvetted videos as an information source.

Also, I usually hate videos because you can't skim!

I think you and I differ as to reputable news sources. I don't trust the MSM. You see YouTube videos as apparently unvetted. I've had some experience reading academic journals. They're all about debate. It seems to me that discretion is always necessary.

But, of course, SK, we don't all have to have the same pov, response, or reaction. That would be pretty dull.

No, you don't skim- you fast-forward.
