@WUSTLbusiness, you for finally removing your dangerous YouTube video: "Anne Marie Knott: Why you haven& #39;t caught COVID-19." Sadly, it had 112,811 views before you took action.
They say you can& #39;t unring the bell, but in this case, I insist @WUSTLmed and @WUSTL try...A few ideas:

Due to the video& #39;s insane degree of inaccuracy, I am sure nobody @WUSTLmed was even aware the video existed until today when it was removed.
Dr. Steven Lawrence probably threw up a little when he saw the video — it& #39;s that bad.

Listen, I understand how you landed in this debacle: @WUSTLbusiness (biz school) has a remote town hall, not intended to be public.
Naturally, no @WUSTLmed (med school) attend. Therefore, no Medical School Staff see the video. Next, is where the mistake happens....

The Business School records the remote town hall, so they can send it to staff who could not tune in live.
The person in charge of @WUSTLbusiness YouTube Channel uploads Anne Marie Knott& #39;s (insane) video as "Unlisted" which does two important things....

#1: An "Unlisted" video on YouTube means it can start spreading — but only if you have the exact URL. "Hey Staff, in case you missed it, here& #39;s the link to the replay for our remote town hall on the 13th."
#2: Unlisted YouTube videos do not show up publicly. Can& #39;t search for it. Does not show up on the @WUSTLbusiness YouTube Channel.
Like a virus, the video begins to spread.... largely undetectable to the experts at @WUSTLmed.

Let me be clear. This thread is an oversimplified hypothesis for illustration purposes. I have no idea how the video got published or why WashU would ever want to be associated with it. But thread is my best guess at the basic steps that led to the fiasco.
For reference, here are a few other thoughts I tried to convey to decision makers: https://twitter.com/TeddyWilliamsW/status/1266393277802184704?s=20">https://twitter.com/TeddyWill...
