Omicron Variant allegations circulating on social media: Is it a coincidence?
While social media users are discussing the Omicron Variant; A remarkable claim has been made. While it was said that a movie with this name was released in 1963, the aforementioned claim was reinforced with various posters. But days later it became clear that the allegations were not true.
By conspiracy theorists “Is it a coincidence?” The claim of the Omicron Variant movie, which was shared and spread on social networks, does not reflect the truth in any way. When we search on IMDb, we do not come across such a movie. On the other hand, the truth of the matter is based on a graphic brought to life by the famous graphic designer Saul Bass.
The poster belongs to the movie Phase IV.
Bass, who designed the posters of many cult productions, including Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (Pervert), also worked on a film called Phase IV in 1974. Recently, a filmmaker named Becky Cheatle adapted this poster to the present day and changed the title of the movie to The Omicron Variant. The graphic design, prepared purely for entertainment purposes, became the event.
Phase IV (1984)
Recording a statement on the subject, Cheatle stated that the poster he made was used for malicious purposes. The full text of the statement is as follows:
“Hello. It came to my attention that one of my posters was circulating on Twitter as ‘evidence’ of a COVID hoax. This is just bullshit. Because when I heard the name Omicron Variant, I compared its diagnosis to 70s science fiction movies. Please don’t get sick because of my stupid joke. Thanks. ”

The movie Phase IV, which is the source of confusion, deals with the fact that ants have intelligence as a result of an extraterrestrial effect. This science fiction and horror themed production is listed with an IMDb score of 6.5.
After all, there is no movie called The Omicron Variant. All this is just speculation. So, what do you think about this event? You can share your ideas with us in the comments section!
