We know that Plandemic is full of pseudoscience, revisionist history and outrageous bullshit- beach sand has healing properties? There’s more COVID in Italy because of dogs? — but we should be both more curious and more worried about why it went viral. vice.com/en_us/article/…
Stuff like this has obviously been circulating for months- conspiracy theorizing, bogus cures - but as more people become desperate for a way out of this, it’s gaining broader appeal. The idea that all we have to do is simply not believe this is an emergency is seductive.
The anti-vax and health freedom worlds are ready to seize on people’s frustration and distrust, their desire to do what feels best for them and stop worrying so much about collective or public health. Consider how excited MMS peddlers were just recently. vice.com/en_us/article/…
This whole thing has been a bogus health cure opportunist’s wildest dream. And we are just getting started. vice.com/en_us/article/…?
One specific element in Mikovits story that I really want to focus on for a sec: her claims that Fauci and the NIH silenced and suppressed her. In fact, she received NIH funding to try to replicate her XMRV findings. She could not.
At 19 minutes in the link here, you'll see Mikovits at a press conference with the other researchers, acknowledging that, as she puts it, "it's not there," and thanking the NIH for looking so deeply into the issue.
This is where Mikovits' story starts to veer sharply from observable reality, and by 2014 she was speaking at Autism One. By 2018 she was being feted by medical conspiracy theory and "health freedom" websites. I'm really curious what happened.
One more thing for the critical thinkers in my mentions - Mikovits claims she was "held in jail with no charges." You can, very literally, look up what the charges were. You can personally do that. See? Don't have to take anybody's word for it!
Maybe if we demystify the process of finding public records, people will be able to more effectively "do their own research." justicecourts.washoecounty.us/Public/Search.…
For some reason when you currently click the mobile link the story is about a German explorer. I blame the deep state. We’re looking into it!
