'Plandemic' Is Dangerous, Viral Nonsense (Vice)

This woman is nuts! Completely crazy! Have you wondered where these crazy theories that tRump is parroting come from?

A pseudo-documentary full of outrageous, verifiably false claims is still going viral, despite being repeatedly removed from YouTube and Facebook.

<snip>
...She likens COVID-19 infection to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ... She agrees with the conspiracy theory that doctors are being pushed to misclassify deaths due to other causes as due to COVID-19.”

Along with these things, Mikovits makes a claim that coronavirus was higher in Italy because of an “untested influenza vaccine” that contained dog cells.

“Dogs have lots of coronaviruses,” Mikovits says, confidently. “That’s why they’re not testing there.”

This returns to a claim that Mikovits made in a video VICE reported on in late April. In the video, which has since been removed, Mikovits claim that the novel coronavirus was secretly caused by a “bad strain” of flu vaccine that circulated between 2013 and 2015, adding that masks will “activate” the virus and reinfect a mask-wearer over and over. (Handwashing is also discouraged, for similarly incoherent reasons, despite it having been a basic standard of sanitation since the mid-1800s.)

...That claim, that flu vaccines increase the odds of getting the coronavirus, is flatly and profoundly false, as are the claims Mikovits and Willis make about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug touted by President Trump which has failed to help COVID-19 patients in hospital studies. Those claims are followed, soon after, by Mikovits asserting that “healing microbes” can be found on the seas and sands of the beach. (This is why, it is implied, the beaches have been closed on the coasts of the United States.)
