Without condoning or condemning your goals or the goals of YouTube: the more effective way to push back is to get the vaccine and live another day to actually push back. Do you really think pro-censorship advocates will change their mind because anti-censorship advocates die in large numbers by refusing an effective medicine? Look around this thread, there are plenty of pro-censorship commentators right here. Do you think your death or hospitalization will move the needle in your favor?

Martyrdom is not a very effective and reliable strategy. People martyr themselves because there's nothing left, the cause they fight for is so important to them that they would rather die than lose the fight. Does that really describe you? Would you rather die than tolerate YouTube censorship? Maybe it is that important to you. I just want you to think it through a bit more, I don't really get the sense that you're weighing your options seriously.
