Seen ‘Plandemic’? NPR Takes A Close Look At The Viral Conspiracy Video’s Claims
A slickly produced 26-minute video called Plandemic has exploded on social media in recent days, claiming to present a view of COVID-19 that differs from the “official” narrative.
The video has been viewed millions of times on YouTube via links that are replaced as quickly as the video-sharing service can remove them for violating its policy against “COVID-19 misinformation.”
In it, filmmaker Mikki Willis conducts an uncritical interview with Judy Mikovits, who he says has been called “one of the most accomplished scientists of her generation.”

The interview that nearly got Fauci fired

I know, but what do you want me to do? I mean, seriously Jon, let’s get real, what do you want me to do?

Q: The first question everyone has is how are you?
A: Well, I’m sort of exhausted. But other than that, I’m good. I mean, I’m not, to my knowledge, coronavirus infected. To my knowledge, I haven’t been fired [laughs]. Continue reading “The interview that nearly got Fauci fired “
Trump stumped on Obamagate: “You know what the crime is”
Days after tweeting about ‘Obamagate’ and accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of committing crimes, US president Donald Trump was asked to specify what those exactly were. He replied: ‘Obamagate, it’s been going on for a long time, it’s being going on from even before I got elected and it’s a disgrace that it’s gone on.’ He continued: ‘some terrible things happened and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again.’ When he is again asked what the crime is, Trump says: ‘You know what the crime is.’
