The video racked up more than 7m views on YouTube before it was taken down for making false claims. In an added twist, Trump has given weight to Mikovits’s claims with his own questioning about the origins and spread of Covid-19. Mikovits’s claims have gained currency in part because she points the finger at Dr Anthony Fauci, the face of the Trump administration’s scientific advice on coronavirus and director of the agency she claims buried her research, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. She also asserts that wearing masks is dangerous because it “literally activates your own virus”. The film of Mikovits is taken from a soon to be released documentary, Plandemic, in which the virologist claims US health agencies buried her research showing vaccines weaken people’s immune systems and made them more vulnerable to Covid-19. But scientists fear that does not make her claims any less dangerous because, in an age of conspiracy theories, those about medicine have unusual potency.
Seen from another perspective, the viral video of Dr Judy Mikovits blaming the coronavirus outbreak on a conspiracy led by big pharma, Bill Gates and the World Health Organization is the work of a discredited crank.
