  | "Plandemic" refers to a pair of 2020 conspiracy theory videos produced by Mikki Willis which promote falsehoods and misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic; they feature Judy Mikovits, a discredited former researcher who has been described as an anti-vaccine activist despite her denial, along with David Martin and other conspiracy theorists on the longer second video. The first video was released on 4 May 2020; it went viral, was debunked by just about everyone who is reliable, from Science Magazine to Fact Check to Wikipedia, and within days was removed from Facebook and other platforms. The second video "Plandemic: Indoctornation" was released on 18 August 2020 and holds the world record for the largest live stream premiere of a documentary film, with 1,900,000 unique viewers. •

"The Rains Came" [Fox Sept 1939]
Based on a novel by American Louis Bromfield [1896-1956] (published in June 1937 by Harper & Brothers). The story centers on the redemption of its lead female character. Tom Ransome is an artist who leads a rather dissolute if socially active life in the fictional town of Ranchipur, India. His routine is shattered with the arrival of his former lover, Lady Edwina Esketh, who has since married the elderly Lord Esketh. Lady Edwina first sets out to seduce, then gradually falls in love with, Major Rama Safti who represents the 'new India'. Ranchipur is devastated by an earthquake, torrential rains cause a flood, which causes a cholera epidemic. Lord Esketh dies and Lady Esketh renounces her hedonistic life in favor of helping the sick alongside Major Safti. She accidentally drinks from a glass that has just been used by a patient, becomes infected and dies, making it possible for Safti to become the ruler of a kingdom that he will presumably reform. In the course of the story, a missionary's daughter, Fern Simon, and Ransome also fall in love.

Zanuck & Harry Joe Brown; directed by Clarence Brown; screenplay by Philip Dunne & Julien Josephson, based on the 1937 novel by Louis Bromfield [1896-1956]; music by Alfred Newman; starring Myrna Loy, Tyrone Power, George Brent, Brenda Joyce, Nigel Bruce, Maria Ouspenskaya, Joseph Schildkraut, Mary Nash, Jane Darwell, Marjorie Rambeau, Henry Travers, H.B.
