The Plandemic video is sweeping through the Internet like the coronavirus. Nearly everything Dr. Judy Mikovits has ever done and said has been debunked. She is an anti-vaxxer, despite claiming she isn’t. She was arrested not to keep anything silent, but because after being being fired for having her work easily discredited, she took her research with her (it belonged to the University). She is deep into conspiracy theory land and eager to peddle them. She is also a nutjob, saying people should have been able to stay on beaches this spring because sand has healing properties.To borrow a quote from Ghostbusters, her “theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, methods are sloppy, conclusions are highly questionable. [She] is a poor scientist.” Below is a blog post by a surgeon and scientist who ignored her for years and is now rectifying that. Please read for a more complete picture.
In the film, she denies being a anti-vaxxer, though nearly every word she says shows she is. She makes unsupported statements on COVID-19, HIV (her alleged area of expertise), big pharma and goes after the currently popular Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom she blames for her current predicament.
But what is really disturbing is not what nutso Dr. Mikovits says, it is that so many otherwise intelligent, reasonable people are eating it up, albeit some just saying “it is food for thought”. They are sharing the video, most of them at the same time claiming they don’t “normally” share those sorts of things. They buy into the video’s slick production, and by some of the buzz words the narrator uses. It is clear that this method of persuasion succeeds in large part because people are afraid right now, and the video seems to be offering answers. That is what makes it dangerous. But no matter how real it looks, like something on Nat Geo or the Science Channel, it doesn’t mean it isn’t completely wrong and deliberately misguiding.
Below is one of many doctors, professional conspiracy debunkers, and fact checkers, to be found on YouTube, going through Mikovits’ claims. To this doctor, she “reeks of crazy sauce” and says she should be have attacked for her views long since. My suggestion is to watch this, and then go to YouTube and watch a sampling of the other offerings. If you can find the original “documentary” watch it first. People need to know what a reasonable sounding person, with clear qualifications and a slickly produced video, can offer.
