One cannot spend >5 min on social media at the moment without finding a link to some conspiracy theory or other regarding the origin of SARS-CoV2, the coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. From the virus being deliberately released as a bioweapon to pharmaceutical companies blocking the trials of natural remedies to boost their dangerous drugs and vaccines, the Internet is rife with far-fetched rumors. And predictably, now that the first immunization trials have started, the antivaccine lobby has latched on to most of them. In the last week, the trailer for a new “bombshell documentary” Plandemic has been doing the rounds, gaining notoriety for being repeatedly removed from YouTube and Facebook. We usually would not pay much heed to such things, but for retrovirologists like us, the name associated with these claims is unfortunately too familiar: Dr. Judy Mikovits.

假科学：XMRV，COVID-19和Judy Mikovits博士的有毒遗产。

目前，人们在社交媒体上花费的时间不能超过5分钟，而找不到与某种阴谋论或其他有关SARS-CoV2起源的关联，SARS-CoV2是导致COVID-19大流行的冠状病毒。从有意将这种病毒作为生物武器释放到制药公司，这些公司阻止采用自然疗法来增加其危险药物和疫苗的使用，互联网上充斥着牵强附会的谣言。可以预见的是，既然第一批免疫试验已经开始，抗疫苗游说组织已经锁定了大多数疫苗。在上周，一部新的“重磅炸弹纪录片” Plandemic的预告片一直在进行巡回演出，因屡次被从YouTube和Facebook移除而声名狼藉。我们通常不会对这些事情留神，但是对于像我们这样的逆转录病毒学家，不幸的是，与这些说法相关的名字太熟悉了：朱迪·米科维茨博士。
