video promoting the new movie Plandemic, which criticizes the U.S. government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and features controversial researcher Dr. Judy Mikovits, has been removed by YouTube. You can watch the video later in this article.
The video — described on the Plandemic website as a 25-minute vignette in advance of the movie’s release — features Mikovits, a former chronic fatigue researcher who sharply criticizes Dr. Anthony Fauci and mass vaccinations. She argues that the government’s response to coronavirus is designed to inflate profits at the risk of lives. Mikovits is a controversial researcher who was co-author of a discredited research study.

— described on the Plandemic website as a 25-minute vignette in advance of the movie’s release — features Mikovits, a former chronic fatigue researcher who sharply criticizes Dr. Anthony Fauci and mass vaccinations.

The video, which was created by a small production company in Ojai, California, was available on YouTube until the afternoon of May 6, 2020, and was going viral on social media.
It was then removed by the platform and replaced with the statement, “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” That statement linked to YouTube’s community guidelines, which you can read in full here. Heavy has reached out to YouTube’s press office to obtain comment on why Plandemic‘s video was removed. Read more about the man who made the video, Mikki Willis, here.
Whether YouTube and other social media platforms should censor opposing views, including during a pandemic, is a hotly debated issue.
On Twitter, Mikovits wrote, “I am so honored to be featured in Mikki Willis’ upcoming amazing film! Anticipation of this film is getting huge response…So thankful to Mikki for hearing my story.” Heavy has reached out to Willis through his production company for comment and to Mikovitz through the publisher of her new co-authored book, Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science.
The video was featured on the Plandemic website. “Prior to the completion of the full-length documentary we’ll be releasing a series of vignettes. The first installment features renowned scientist, Judy Mikovits PHD,” it reads. But the video no longer shows up.
