Plandemic is a documentary produced by Judy Mikovits, who is not a medical doctor but some disgraced anti-vaxxer whose study was discredited and ever since shes had this grudge against Dr. Fauci.
I refuse to watch it. From what I gather, though, it seems it claims the virus was created so the vaccine could be pushed on us. I know they claim Dr. Fauci and the WHO are involved; not sure if it brings in Bill Gates and the microchips and the like.
I wouldnt bring attention to it except it appears the publicity behind it seems to have been rapidly coordinated, in the same way many other things are suddenly promoted via social media and a lot of gullible people are being sucked in to potential deadly consequences.

Then again, she told me that her husband (sixty-something and overweight) stopped taking his BP meds because theyre made in China. Thats not going to end well.

Prolly the same with the NewsMax emergency radio hawked on CNN. I just see this as a way to get their ideas on Liberal minded tv stations. Sneaky bastards....

(101,262 posts)As support, Rion cited Greg Rubini, whom she described in the special as a citizen investigator and monitored source amongst a certain set in the D.C. intelligence community.
...
Rubini has said that the novel coronavirus was GENETICALLY ENGINEERED as a Bio-Weapon at the Univ. of North Carolina BSL-3 Lab. He has also said that it was spread from North Carolina to China, Italy, and elsewhere in the United States by the Deep State in a plot to destroy the Trump economy. In addition, Rubini suggested that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the well-respected head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, personally funded the production of the virus, even calling him Little Tony Fauci.
...
The first hints of just how deranged that this special would be showed up in the second segment, which was, amazingly, geared toward attacking South Korean President Moon Jae-in. The segment featured a panel including two former top Trump officials: acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and former National Security Council chief of staff Fred Fleitz. The panel also included columnist and frequent Fox guest Gordon Chang and former South Korean official Cho Tae-yong. The panelists attacked Moons response to the coronavirus epidemic, with Fleitz even saying that the South Korean president showed incompetence and naivete because he has downplayed threats coming from China and North Korea. (South Koreas response to coronavirus has been widely considered a success, thanks largely to its aggressive testing regime, an area in which the U.S. has failed.)
