A YouTube video by a Montreal “certified naturopath” that critics are calling out for offering “completely insane” advice — including false claims that vaccines poison babies and cause autism — doesn’t violate YouTube’s policies on medical misinformation, according to the Google-owned video giant.

Brittany Auerbach — aka “Montreal Healthy Girl” — incorrectly claims that “viruses” in vaccines inflame brain tissue, that babies under one year of age can’t create antibodies in response to vaccines and that children with autism can have parasites “longer than their bodies” that are expelled when they do cleanses.

Apart from vaccines, a mother can harm her unborn child’s nervous system in several ways, Auerbach falsely claims, including if the mother herself has been vaccinated, if she eats a lot of processed or genetically-modified foods, takes prenatal supplements prescribed by her doctor, drinks fluoridated water or keeps air fresheners in the house.
