Dr Drew Supercut Downplaying COVID-19 Gets YouTube Copyright Takedown

[Crunchy Frog]

What a complete asshole.

Dr. Drew Pinsky is using copyright claims to remove a video compilation of his past comments in which he downplays the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic, acccording to HuffPost contributor Yashar Ali.

On social media, Pinsky’s critics have shared a video containing multiple clips of the media personality saying that fears of COVID-19 were overblown. The clips were taken from Pinsky’s podcast and media appearances in February and early March, including an appearance on KTLA News in Los Angeles on March 2, when he called it a “press-induced panic.”

The video went viral after it was shared by Ali, who noted that the original video on YouTube has been taken down after Pinsky’s company issued a copyright claim.

1. His lame, weak-ass "apology" was dishonest, too & he never did explain WHY he said those things.

3. Weak, Indeed

I used the same description yesterday.
10,000 dead and he WISHED he'd predicted better. It would have been way better to predict nothing.
His apology should have said "I'm sorry for bleating about a subject I know nothing about."

4. Barely an aplogy

He should be removed from the air. He's a clown and a quack, and this time his quackery got people killed. To not accept responsibility at all like that is disgusting, he should remove himself from the air, people are dead because of him.

2. Isnt he the one the Faux snoozers been swallowing his snake oil by the gallon?
