Plandemic is a 26-minute conspiracy theory video released in May 2020 that promotes a variety of falsehoods and misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was produced by Mikki Willis's California-based production company Elevate, which has produced other conspiracist videos in the past. The producers of the video state that it is a trailer for an upcoming film to be released in Summer 2020. Starring in the video is discredited former medical researcher turned anti-vaccination activist Judy Mikovits. [1]
Promoted by conspiracy theorists, the video spread rapidly and virally on social media, garnering millions of views, making it "one of the most widespread pieces of coronavirus misinformation." The video was removed by various platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitter, over its misleading content and promotion of false information. [1]
