Where’s the sequel with Anne Heche testifying before Congress and Rand Paul berating her over wearing masks to protect against the chemtrails?

Wearing a tin foil hat is mandatory in this conspiracy theory involving chemtrails and the epidemic of a plague like disease which hits the population of a small town.
Although Anne Heche is pleasant to watch at, the card board characters and the highly unlikely plot told in a relative slow pace provides for a rather boring watch.
Culling a population by using chemtrails seems to me to be farfetched, I think a government is able to use more efficient techniques like starting a war overseas and feed people to the meatgrinder.
Avoid like the plague (pun intended).

Anne Heche stopping a pandemic caused by chemtrails?! If it sounds too good to be true, it’s because it is. This is interminably boring.

Ok, hear me out. I was prepared for a hate watch and to make fun of this. Instead, you get a well-cast film with many commutes performances and a true medical mystery. You don’t really hear chemtrails mentioned until 30 minutes in and it’s not like a total Q-Anon junk, either. This was halfway decent.

“Think about, even tonight, what’s falling from the sky......”
Maybe it’s because I’ve watched almost 150 Lifetime Original Movies but as far as low budget made-for-TV thrillers shot in Canada standing in for Washington State go, Toxic Skies isn’t that bad. Anne Heche stars as a WHO doctor flown into Spokane to investigate a mysterious, somewhat contained illness which threatens to grow exponentially, and is informed by an investigative reporter (Anne Heche’s IRL boyfriend and future father to their child) that chemtrails are to blame. Belief in chemtrails is a gateway to more weird and nauseating conspiracy theories, and Toxic Skies, to my surprise, doesn’t shy away from the theory’s fringe habitat - being whispered about in clandestine meetings led…

A B-movie Outbreak/Contagion with Anne Heche winning points for earnestness as a virologist on the clock to save mankind. Between this and Volcano I'm sure she's had enough of wearing those dumpy protection suits.

If you go into this understanding that it's a dumb B-movie, it's not awful. It's also not particularly good in any way. Anne Heche is her reliable self, turning in a solid performance. Apart from that, there's not much to recommend here.
There were a bunch of weird fades to black, as if it were intentionally made for television and the filmmakers wanted it to be easy to insert commercials.
