Why It’s Important To Push Back On ‘Plandemic’—And How To Do It
https://www.forbes.com ^ | 8 May 2020 | Tara Haelle

By now you’ve probably heard about or even seen the video “Plandemic” that’s been spreading like wildfire through social media networks. This article is not the one you should give to your friend or relative or coworker who shared the video. This is an article for those who recognized the video as rife with conspiracy theories, misinformation and false claims, those who are frustrated and unsettled and disappointed in who they see sharing it, and those who want to know what to say when they see it. It explains why the video is successful, how to recognize propaganda like this for what it is, and explain why it is so, so, so important to speak up about this particular video.

The sad truth is I am more prone to believe a well laid out conspiracy theory than just about anything on mainstream news or said by politicians, but I also have more trust in gang bangers than police officers, bad guys are always bad, it’s the good guys you got to watch out for.

Judy Mikovits sells the PLANDEMIC film based on her own “realness”. She’s one of those authentic characters you just believe, especially contrasted with the uppity fakes her opposition puts up.

I guess she could be lying but I don’t think she is.

...an accomplished epidemiologist who was railroaded...

Technically, isn’t Mikovits a virologist? She studies and experiments with the actual organisms.

I’m going with the well-proven axiom about drawing the most flak when you’re over the target. Throw in an evaluation of the usual cabal of collectivists being the source of the flak and I have my answer.

You all make me proud!

I don’t think we would have seen quite the same unity
a couple years ago.

I think this Dr. may (rightly) have an axe to grind...
But I also think she’s telling the truth.

Thanks, didn't know Forbes was compromised by China.

China causes a lot of American companies to be careful that they don't offend them.

One reason, money

Like the NFL deal and the capitulation they do to China in order to do business.

THEY forced some changes in the now produced sequel to tom CRUZ movie TOP Gun.

China is Very dangerous, fingers and feelers into all aspects of USA life.

5G needs to be exposed too.

De Blasio and the Governor are mass-murderers, utilizing The Cuomovirus as the weapon of mass destruction.

Ignore it completely. And ignore any idiot stupid enough to believe a single word. Really people. It’s not a conspiracy. Pandemics happen. At least once a century. They are inevitable. We’re lucky this one is kinda wussy.

I wonder if the same company bought Drudge.

If WaCompost is telling you NOT to watch something, do the exact opposite.

(Odd how we also have several, here, following the DS/leftist meme that this Dr is a quack. No solid proof - only leftist sites and Snopes - and personal attacks.)

Share the vis with ALL.

This video is constantly going up on Youtube and constntly getting deleted. What’s funny is that it’s like a 60 minutes episode. It may or may not be baloney.

The video is a microcosm of what is going on with the virus, though. That is, just as the real problem is not the virus, but the response to it, the real problem here is not the content of the video, but Youtube’s deletion of it.

And the more they try to censor it, the more I believe it is accurate, in the vein of “me thinks thou doth protest too much.”

This guy does a really good job of refuting it, but as one commenter there said, this is basically a youtube video rebuking a youtube video, simply by making claims. And his video doesn’t really attack what she says as much as attack her credibility. i.e. it is an ad-homenem attack.
