The Google-owned service says it will remove anything it deems "medically unsubstantiated".
Chief executive Susan Wojcicki said the media giant wanted to stamp out "misinformation on the platform".
The move follows YouTube banning conspiracy theories falsely linking Covid-19 to 5G networks.

Mrs Wojcicki made the remarks on Wednesday during her first interview since the global coronavirus lockdown began.
"So people saying, ‘Take vitamin C, take turmeric, we’ll cure you,’ those are the examples of things that would be a violation of our policy,” she told CNN.
“Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy.”
Mrs Wojcicki added YouTube had seen a 75% increase in demand for news from "authoritative" sources.
Last week, Facebook announced users who had read, watched or shared false Covid-19 information would receive a pop-up alert urging them to visit the WHO's website.
Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp, meanwhile, stopped users forwarding messages already shared more than four times by the wider community to more than one chat at a time.

Ah, sorry, was it at least in a different forum? I've only been on ATS occasionally lately, I honestly didn't really look that hard.

Someone made an OP on this yesterday.
But ya, youtube is not what it used to be. Anything that gets too big, gets ruined.

So, do you think that 5G communications causes or worsens the coronavirus?
Or, do you think that people are lying about it, just for fame?
Definitely, the deaths from the virus in countries that don't have 5G are a strong indicator that the notion of a link, is wrong.
There are also many other reasons, as well, but that is a big one to explain away.

5g has nothing to do with the virus other than possibly being used when digital tracking and immunity passports are initiated.
This 5g bull#'s a distraction. You know what else contradicts the who? Disagreeing with statements made by the who about recommending police be allowed to enter homes and remove sick people. or recommendations made by the who about restricting movements of people and work.
Anything that contradicts the who will be banned. So if you disagree with anything they say, it gets banned. Now just think about everything they say and you'll maybe start to understand why this isn't good.
