BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A video press briefing with Accelerated Urgent Care doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi was taken down from YouTube by the media company Monday.

The video was the first of two videos playing the entire briefing from a press conference last week. Reports of the video being taken down suggest YouTube pulled it for violating community guidelines.

In response to the video being taken down, Dr. Erickson said, “Anytime you push against the grain, you are going to have people who don’t like it.”

Dr. Daniel Erickson is questioning the effectiveness of going into lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

He believes we should be focusing on “Herd Immunity” and backed up his claim with statistics on Good Morning San Diego.
