In Plandemic Dr Judy Mikovits blames coronavirus outbreak on a ‘circular cabal’ led by Bill Gates, accuses Dr Fauci of burying her research and says wearing a mask ‘activates your own virus’

  1. These conspiracies gain traction in times of crisis, like the financial crisis 10 years ago.
    Bill Gates wanted preparedness for the next pandemic _ so they twist it around to blame him.

    Fauci in his previous research supported gain of function research for flu virus. His reasoning was wrong. He claimed the benefits outweigh the risks.
    It's not proven yet where covid came from, but the risks are something on thus scale.

    Her theory about chronic fatigue syndrome was disproven, but that didn't help her career. Probably the nuts don't care about cfs. Also she claims hydroxychloroquine is a panacea but being blocked by the Illuminati etc. (big pharma, fauci etc). Something not right about her, has lost her marbles.

  3. If Gates was a diehard republican, rather than a hillary supporter or a shill for the establishment, most of the people currently scapegoating him wouldn't say a word and would be targeting someone else.
    And the same is true for Fauci, and you know it.

    I don't really care who Fauci votes for, or what colour his underwear is. I'm simply opposed to what he wrote regarding gain of function research. Even a right wing, modern orthodox , bibi supporter would be wrong to support gain of function virus research.
    Look at Berel - I disagree with most of his views . However, one of his videos posted pointed out that many people are dying from non covid related diseases, because hospitals are shutting down other treatments. That's correct, and truthful. Whether I agree with him about Israel, science, Rav kook etc doesn't change that fact.

  5. Most of the criticisms of Gates are not based on the truth, just as you alluded to, and likewise most of the complaints about Fauci are partisan nonsense. You may disagree with one of his views on a type of research but it's not really NIAID's call and there are a lot of people responsible for that, not just him (if he's even involved in that decision-making - Maybe so, maybe not. He isn't personally doing that research). Regardless, this is not why the maga-drones have attacked Fauci and made him their boogeyman.

    They want someone to blame for their own president's decisions. Decisions that had economic costs and that had to be made - But they want to have their cake and eat it to by blaming the economic fallout on OTHER people like Fauci, while also disputing whether these decisions were ever necessary. They don't seem to understand that they are accusing their President of making a bad decision to shut down the country, but they don't think too deeply.

    Well, they seem to have forgotten about George Soros, and now have targeted Gates instead. The anti vaxxers, but I don't know if they are Trump supporters or not.

    If you read this piece penned by fauci, you will see how twisted his thinking is, and also how fundamentally dishonest he remains. He is downplaying the risks of leak of a Frankenstein virus. Even today he persists in obfuscation and obscurantism.
    There has been no benefit from such research. But he admits that he's willing to sacrifice millions or billions of lives if such a Frankenstein virus were to escape.
