"YouTube didn't remove this!"

LOL! That's a pretty low standard for determining the veracity of any information.

The rule cited in that YouTube video (14 CFR 65.13) says this - nothing more, nothing less:

65.13 Temporary certificate.

A certificate and ratings effective for a period of not more than 120 days may be issued to a qualified applicant, pending review of his application and supplementary documents and the issue of the certificate and ratings for which he applied.

All it's saying is that when an airmen gets a new certificate or rating a temporary certificate may be issued pending a permanent certificate being issued by the FAA.

And this is the FAA's "guidance" she refers to several times: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/novel-coronavirus-covid-19-update-0

As for the Southwest Pilot's Association's lawsuit which is getting a lot of mileage from the conspiracy theorists, the crux of the suit is the airline's management failing to consult with the union's right to be consulted over work rule changes. The fact that a lot of the recent workplace rule changes do involve Covid policy, seems to be leading the conspiracy theorists to misinterpret the lawsuit's existence as proof positive that vaccinated pilots must be dropping dead all over the place.

The right to manage and direct the work force, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, is vested in the Company. Employees covered by this Agreement shall be governed by all Company rules, regulations and orders previously or hereafter issued by proper authorities of the Company which are not in conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and which have been made available to the affected employees and the Association prior to becoming effective. The Association shall be advised of any changes to rules, regulations, or orders governing pilots at least fourteen (14) calendar days before such rules, regulations, or orders become effective, unless the parties mutually agree to a shorter advance notification period. This fourteen (14) calendar day requirement will not apply when the Company is required by law to make immediate changes or in the event of an emergency circumstance that reasonably requires immediate change
