Travel Pro & the A.I. "PLANDEMIC!!!"

QUESTION: Why did so many people call the Covid 19 pandemic a "plandemic"?

ANSWER: The term "plandemic"—a portmanteau of "planned" and "pandemic"—became widely used because of a highly viral 2020 conspiracy theory video alleging that the COVID-19 pandemic was a manufactured global plot. [1, 2]
The primary factors driving the adoption of this term include:

1. The "Plandemic" Viral Video

The Film Release: In May 2020, filmmaker Mikki Willis released a slickly produced, 26-minute pseudo-documentary titled Plandemic.
The Main Figure: The video starred Judy Mikovits, a discredited former medical researcher and anti-vaccine activist.
The Core Claims: Mikovits falsely claimed that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in a lab, that public health officials exaggerated death tolls for profit, and that wearing face masks actually activated the virus. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

2. Social Media Exploitation

Viral Distribution: The video was aggressively shared across Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok, racking up millions of views in days.
Censorship Framing: When major tech platforms removed the video for medical misinformation, the producers framed the removal as an elite "cover-up," which only intensified interest and prompted users to re-upload it.
Algorithmic Amplification: Pre-existing conspiracy networks, particularly QAnon groups and anti-vaccine communities, utilized the hashtag #plandemic as an anchor to cross-promote multiple distinct conspiracies. [1, 8, 9, 10]

3. Psychological and Social Factors

Desire for Simple Answers: During a time of immense fear, lockdowns, and economic uncertainty, the narrative of a structured, intentional plan offered a comforting, definitive explanation over the terrifying reality of a chaotic, unpredictable natural disaster.
Populist Sentiments: The video successfully weaponized a growing distrust in public institutions, targeting figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and billionaires like Bill Gates.
Anti-Containment Backlash: The term quickly became a political rallying cry for groups opposing shelter-in-place orders, mask mandates, and eventual vaccine rollouts. [8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17]

QUESTION: Should I get my covid 19 Vaccine in 2026?

ANSWER: Yes, you should consider getting the updated 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccine if you want to maintain protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. [1]
Current medical guidance highlights that vaccine protection decreases over time, making updated seasonal doses necessary as the virus evolves. [1, 2]

Current Recommendations

Major health organizations have shifted to "shared clinical decision-making," meaning the decision should be customized based on your age, health status, and discussion with a healthcare provider: [3, 4, 5, 6]

High-Priority Groups: Public health agencies like the U.S. CDC and Health Canada strongly urge vaccination for adults aged 65 and older, individuals with underlying medical conditions, pregnant women, and people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.
General Public: For adults aged 18 to 64 without elevated risk factors, the vaccine remains a recommended option to reduce disease severity and lower the risk of developing long COVID.
Children: Age-appropriate doses are recommended starting from 6 months of age, with parent-provider consultation. [1, 3, 7, 8, 9]

Available Vaccine Formulations

The available vaccines are tailored to target newer mutations, specifically targeting Omicron JN.1-lineage strains: [7, 10]

mRNA Vaccines: Options include Moderna (Spikevax or mNexspike) and Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty).
Protein Subunit Vaccines: The non-mRNA option available is Novavax (Nuvaxovid) for individuals aged 12 and older. [11]

If you are already vaccinated, a single dose of the updated formula is generally given at least 8 weeks after your last dose. Check with a local clinic or pharmacy to verify seasonal availability and insurance coverage. [9, 12]

WTP OPINION: As I've said already in this series of posts; AI is not your friend. In fact I find this Q&A session quite disturbing since having so many contacts/friends/and acquaintance fall severely ill and/or drop dead from this "vaccine" in which the AI is suggesting we all get. Furthermore it looks like Bill Gates himself could not have written better answers for this thing to spew out. Highly disturbing indeed. Any thoughts....?

Wishing you all the very best.
