The Republican senator called his temporary suspension a 'badge of honor.'

from posting videos on its platform for one week, saying a video he shared to his official channel violated the company’s policy on COVID-19 medical misinformation.

The weeklong ban marks the first strike against Paul, a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement. If he violates the policy again within 90 days, he will receive a second strike and will be unable to upload a video for two weeks. A third strike would result in a permanent suspension of his account. The most recent video removed featured Paul once again criticizing the use of certain masks to curb the transmission of the virus.

Many doctors and public health experts have said masks are helpful at least in part in slowing the spread of COVID-19. Still, some epidemiologists ― such as Michael Osterholm, a member of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 advisory board ― have said cloth masks are not nearly as effective as N95 masks in limiting contagion.“Leftwing cretins at Youtube banning me for 7 days for a video that quotes 2 peer reviewed articles saying cloth masks don’t work,” Paul tweeted.

YouTube suspends Rand Paul for seven daysSen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, has been suspended from YouTube for seven days over a video claiming that masks are ineffective in fighting Covid-19, according to a YouTube spokesperson. What does YouTube gain from this suspension? The horse has already gone through the gate!!!! Bet a channel calling for violence gets a free pass Here’s my thing, he’s not wrong! Cloth masks are not effective. There’s a reason you can’t wear them into most dr office and why doctors and nurses don’t wear them. It’s one thing of he’s saying N-95 masks or proper masks don’t work but that’s not what he said which seems odd
