Comment on YouTube starts verifying health workers in the UK

Sounds good on paper, but with half my family believing that covid is caused by 5G, I can tell you, all this will do is make them see anyone verified as “brainwashed sheep” and they’ll continue to get their advice from charlatans.

What about for you? I would love a helpful verified label when watching some of these youtube videos, save me some sherlocking.

In UK NHS webpages are very good. And outside of UK, I guess adding NHS to the search query would bring NHS pages as top results. For health related information I don’t think people should consult youtube anyway.

I don’t really get health advice from YouTube, but yeah, it would be useful for those who do. It just won’t be any help for those who actually want to be misinformed, sadly.

My parents believe stupid shit once in a while, thankfully they arent stubborn about it. All the best of luck with yours.
