Aids denialist Movie censors negative comments about content

[ManOrAstroman]

I tried to add some counter criticism of the AIDS denialist movie "House of Numbers" to YouTube, but the channel operators keep removing it. Of course, they keep positive comments about the movie.

When Raindance film festival showed the movie recently, it was received with a volley of complaints by scientists and AIDS sufferers. Ironically, the festival organisers and supporters of the film decried these complaints as "censorship". I discussed this yesterday in another thread.

Here is the video praising the film where I had several civil but critical comments removed:



Here is an analysis of the video by Ben Goldacre in the Guardian:

It would take two months of columns to address all the bogus claims of this film, and that blizzard, perhaps, is the point of making it, with all the classic rhetorical devices that have been honed by Aids denialists and creationists over decades. It engages, for example, in repeated overstatement of marginal internal disagreements about the details of HIV research, to the extent that 18 doctors and scientists interviewed for the film have issued a statement saying that the director was "deceptive" in his interactions with them, that it perpetuates pseudoscience and myths, and that they were selectively quoted to make it seem as if they are in disagreement and disarray, when in fact they agree on all the important facts.
