When one sees a hypothesis as logical it is to say that the scientific method can be applied to it whereby theories, predictions, experiments and observations work cyclically through inductive or deductive reasoning to create a further understanding of the theory; whether the theory needs modification, if it's completely erroneous, if there is mild correlation etc.
For a video to start by saying it will analyze an issue scientifically, then to immediately show a complete misunderstanding of what the word science actually means kind of kills its legitimacy. This isn't to say anything about vaccination, just that the guy in the video makes a fundamental flaw in his argument in terms of science.
