辉瑞高管视频点燃美国舆情
虽然,这个话题显然政治不正确,没有任何美国政客想要掺和,因为,谁胆敢亲自卷入这场漫无边际争吵下场都会是一身的屎,但美国两个阵营的媒体却并不想放过它,尤其是代表不同阶层的媒体,在本次辉瑞事件引发的M内讧中都希望争取更多受众的支持……
事件的起因,是共和党MAGA派粉丝们最爱看的Project Veritas(真相计划)特工用钓鱼的方式偷录了辉瑞公司高管的一段吹嘘,被放到了互联网上。(为什么说是吹嘘呢,因为视频中辉瑞的这位管理者并没拿出具体的图文证据来证实自己的言论细节)
在视频中,一位据称是辉瑞高管的大佬(Jordon Trishton Walker),对暗访记者的吹嘘说,辉瑞总部正在进行“可操控的”变异新冠病毒研发,目的,是使该变异毒株“定向进化”,并且先发制人地开发疫苗,这是“我们公司赚大钱的秘诀”,“你们这些外行理解不了”…
视频一放出来,首先引发了英语社交媒体的地震,然后就是大媒体的辩论式报道。跟某大V的说法些许不同,之后的48小时内,并非整个美国政界、舆论界都被收买了,也并没有发生集体噤声、无人敢说的场面。当然,马斯克收购的推特似乎在删帖子,这显然不符合他本人的三观……(当然,还有许多关系户的转述视频没有被删,比如下面的)
塔克卡尔森作为FOX的台柱子,他的视频在昨夜的流量是440多万。点赞有3.6万。因为他在视频中吐槽了美国媒体人不敢挖这个话题,并讽刺了美国哪些公司“强大到可怕”
瑞典民粹主义写手PeterSweden的回应也没删,估计他的很多想法恰恰是马斯克和他的粉丝们喜欢的……
赛车界的明星写手小安东尼奥·萨巴托的回应贴也没删。他把辉瑞事件称作“有史以来最大黑幕”
美国著名human rights律师罗根·奥汉德利的转述也没删,他质疑了那些依然支持辉瑞、为辉瑞工作的人的神奇心态
还有更多蓝V截屏了辉瑞官网自我打脸的这段陈述。很显然,马斯克的团队没有将他们的贴文咔嚓。因为她自己也想看……
不但有美国媒体在报道,而且,这些媒体还是针锋相对地在喊话,事实上,由于代表的阶层不同,媒体的行文方式、角度就很不同。比如福克斯和福布斯,这俩汉译名字接近,有些时候也保持一致,但在这个话题上,就互撕了。
福克斯传媒是个民粹主义倾向的媒体,它要尽可能讨好包括红脖子白人在内的美国广大工农群众,所以,它报道方式(尤其台柱子塔克卡尔森)就成了这样:TUCKER CARLSON:如果你真的想了解大药企有多么强大,可以研究下这个(视频内容)
在文字稿正文中,以及主持人吐槽中,福克斯是这样说的:
How powerful exactly are the big pharmaceutical companies in this country? Well, that's a big question. There are a lot of ways to measure it, but here are a few ways you can measure it. In this country, Big Pharma can advertise its drugs directly to consumers and that's a little strange if you think about it, since consumers don't prescribe drugs, doctors do. So, why are the drugs being advertised directly to consumers?
That's allowed in only one other country on the planet, but it's allowed here. So, it may not surprise you that in this country, drug companies spend more on lobbying the Congress than any other industry, a lot more than any other industry and they don't do it by accident. They do it because it pays off. In a deal like this, a pretty remarkable deal, the drug companies have worked out with politicians. So, the government uses your tax dollars to buy billions worth of their products and then in some cases forces you to use those products.
Sometimes those products work, sometimes they don't work. In some cases, those products can injure you, but no matter what happens, there's nothing you can do about it because politicians have given these companies complete immunity. If their products hurt or kill you, you can't sue them. You're not even really allowed to complain about it. That's an incredible deal. Imagine if your company had struck a deal like that with Congress. You'd probably be a lot richer than you are.
So that's power, but it pales in comparison to what we're seeing right now. If you really want to understand how powerful Big Pharma is, consider the news that did not break today. The pro-transparency news organization Project Veritas just released an undercover video of a Pfizer executive bragging on camera about how his company conducts a kind of Frankenstein science, manipulating COVID viruses for profit, imperiling potentially the entire world, doing it in secret, possibly in violation of federal law, bragging about this. So, no matter what your politics are, doesn’t matter who you voted for, that's a huge story and you would think every reporter in this country would be itching to follow up on it, calling Pfizer, telling the public about it, but no, that's not happening.
这个国家的大型制药企业到底有多牛叉?嗯,这可是个大问题。有很多方法可以衡量它,但这儿我有了另外的方法来衡量。在这个国家,大型制药公司可以直接向消费者宣传其药品,如果你想一想,这是否有点奇怪,因为消费者并不会开药,只有医生会开药啊。那么,为什么药品会直接面向消费者做广告呢?
这在地球上,其实只有一个国家允许(药物打广告),是的在这里(美国)是允许的。因此,在这个国家(美国),制药公司在游说国会政客上的经费花销,比任何其他行业都多,也比任何其他产业都多,这可能并不让你感到意外。他们这样做,是因为这是有巨大回报的。在这样一笔非常了不起的交易中,制药公司与政客达成了协议。因此,美国政府用你们的税款购买了价值数十亿美元的药物类产品,然后在某些情况下强迫你使用这些产品。
这些产品有时有效,有时无效。在某些情况下,这些产品会伤害你,但无论发生什么,你都无能为力,因为,政客们已经给予这些公司完全的豁免权。如果他们的产品伤害或杀死了你,你也不能起诉他们。你甚至都不能抱怨这事。这是一笔不可思议的交易。想象一下,如果是你的公司与国会达成了这样的协议。那么你可能会比现在的你有钱得多。
这就是(钱的)力量,但,(真相)与我们现在所能看到的相比,又是天壤之别。如果,你真的想了解大型制药公司有多强大,不妨考虑一下今天媒体界没敢爆出的消息。支持透明度的新闻机构“真相计划”(Project Veritas)刚刚发布了一段卧底视频,视频中一名辉瑞高管在镜头前吹嘘自己的公司是如何进行科学研究的,他们操纵COVID病毒突变以牟利,潜在地危及整个世界,在秘密情况下这样做,可能违反了美国联邦法律,他竟然还吹嘘这一点。所以,无论你的政治坐标是什么,无论你投票给谁,这都是一个巨大的故事,你会认为这个国家的每个记者都会迫不及待地跟进此事,打电话给辉瑞,告诉公众这件事吗,但,哦不,这并没有发生。
In the 24 hours since Project Veritas posted this footage, it has been viewed more than 12 million times on Twitter. So, the public is very interested. Why wouldn't they be? But the media are not. No other media outlet has covered the story at all. We checked. MSNBC and CNN, which perhaps not coincidentally, take huge amounts of advertising dollars from Pfizer, those two channels have devoted a total of zero seconds to the story. Well, just go online and find out about it. Well, Google, the biggest search engine in the world, which has a monopoly on search in this country, appears to have gone out of its way to make it much more difficult for users to learn anything about the Pfizer executive pictured in the footage and so there is, in other words, on television and in most places online, a near-total media blackout of this story.
How powerful is Big Pharma? That powerful, but we have the footage and we're going to show some of it to you tonight because we think we should. Now, that footage shows a Pfizer executive called Jordon Trishton Walker. He is, according to the documents Project Veritas posted, Pfizer's "director of research and development for strategic operations and mRNA scientific planning." It's a big job. Walker is very highly educated and as we said, he's a high-ranking executive at Pfizer. In fact, he's just two reports removed from the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourla. His name is Jordon Walker once again.
JORDON TRISHTON WALKER: You know how the virus keeps mutating? Well, one of the things we're exploring is, like, why don't we just mutate it ourselves so we could focus on, so we could create… develop new vaccines, right? So, we have to do that. If we're going to do that, though, there's a risk of, like, as you could imagine, no one wants to be having a pharma company mutating f------- viruses. So, we're like, do we want to do this? So, that's, like, one of the things we're considering for, like, the future, like, maybe we're going to create new versions of the vaccine and things like that.
JOURNALIST: OK. So, Pfizer ultimately is thinking about mutating COVID?
TRISHTON WALKER: Well, that is not what we say to the public. No.
“在Project Veritas发布这视频后的24小时内,它在Twitter上的浏览量超过了1200万次。因此,美国公众事实上非常感兴趣。为什么不呢?但我们的媒体并非如此。(除了咱们FOX)没有其他大媒体报道这事。我们检查过了呢。微软全国广播公司(MSNBC)和美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)从辉瑞公司那里获得了巨额广告资金,这两个频道总共花费了0秒的时间来报道这个事。好吧,(咱们)就上网了解一下吧。好吧,世界上最大的搜索引擎谷歌(Google)似乎已经竭尽全力,让用户更难了解视频中辉瑞高管的任何信息,也就是说,在电视和大多数网络上,媒体几乎完全封锁了这个故事。
大型制药公司有多强大?很厉害,但我们有录像,我们(主持人)今晚会给你看一些,因为我们认为应该这样做。现在,这段视频显示了一位名叫乔登·特里什顿·沃克的辉瑞高管。根据Project Veritas发布的文件,他是辉瑞公司的“战略运营和mRNA科学规划研发总监”。这是一项艰巨的工作。沃克受过很高的教育,正如我们所说,他是辉瑞公司的高级管理人员。事实上,他是从辉瑞首席执行官阿尔伯特·博拉(Albert Bourla)手中删除了两份报告。他的名字简写为乔登·沃克。
沃克说:你知道病毒为何会不断变异的吗?嗯,我们正在探索的一件事是,比如,我们为什么不自己来突变它,这样我们就可以专注于,这样我们就能创造……开发新的针对性疫苗,对吗?所以,我们必须这样做。但是,如果我们要这样做,就会有风险,就像你可以想象的那样,没有人愿意让一家制药公司操作出新的变异病毒。所以,我们想这样做吗?所以,这是我们正在考虑的事情之一,比如,未来……比如,我们可能会创造新版本的疫苗和类似的与之匹配的东西(病毒)。
记者:好吧。那么,辉瑞最终还是在考虑搞出变异新冠病毒?
沃克说::嗯,这不是我们该对公众说的。别说。
另一个阵营就是福布斯,这款媒体是专门给有钱人、精英、投资客看的。那么他走的是精英路线,显然会不计代价地维护辉瑞(的投资者)……,他的标题是这样写的:
No, Project Veritas Video Doesn’t Prove Pfizer Is Mutating Covid-19, Who Is Jordon Trishton Walker?
不,真相计划的视频并没有证明辉瑞正在开发变异新冠病毒,Jordon Trishton Walker又是谁?
Tucker Carlson has claimed on his FOX News show Tucker Carlson Tonight that there’s been “a near-total media blackout of this story.” But since there doesn’t seem to be any type of memo circulating to journalists telling them to not cover “this story,” let’s cover it now and see how much veritas it really has.
What’s “this story” that’s supposedly the subject of a media blackout according to Carlson? Well, Carlson has also tweeted the following about it: “Project Veritas just released an undercover video of a Pfizer executive bragging about how his company conducts Frankenstein science, manipulating COVID viruses for profit, and does it in secret, possibly in violation of federal law.”
Wow, a Pfizer exec bragging about “Frankenstein science?” That sounds like a monstrous revelation, doesn’t it? But before Carlson’s claim makes you sit bolt upright in your chair, keep in mind that this was Carlson who had said this. Yes, this was the Tucker Carlson whom John Oliver has called a “superspreader” of Covid-19 vaccine fears and doubts and a “scrunch-faced fear baboon,” as I covered on May 3, 2021, for Forbes. Now, to be fair, Carlson is not necessarily always “scrunch-faced.” He has also sported the “I’m concerned”, the “What’s you talking about, Willis”, and the “I really have to go to the bathroom” facial expressions. But is there any truth to what Carlson has been claiming about this Project Veritas video or is it actually a hot air baboon situation?
塔克·卡尔森(Tucker Carlson)在其FOX新闻节目《今晚》中声称,“美国媒体几乎完全封锁了这个故事”。但由于…似乎没有任何形式的备忘录流传给记者,告诉他们不要报道“这个故事”,所以,我们(福布斯)现在就来报道一下,看看它到底有多真实。
根据卡尔森的说法,媒体封锁的主题是什么?“这个故事”?嗯,卡尔森也在推特上发布了关于此事的消息,他说:“Project Veritas刚刚发布了一段辉瑞高管的卧底视频,他吹嘘自己的公司如何开展科学研发,操纵COVID病毒变异牟利,并秘密进行,还可能违反了联邦法律。”
哇,一位辉瑞公司高管在吹嘘“科学怪人”?这听起来像是一个可怕的发现,不是吗?但在卡尔森的声明让你坐在椅子上之前,请记住这是卡尔森说的。是的,正如我们在2021年5月3日在《福布斯》上报道的那样,这就是塔克·卡尔森,约翰·奥利弗称其为新冠肺炎疫苗恐惧和怀疑的“超级传播者”,以及“面容憔悴的恐惧狒狒”。现在,公平地说,卡尔森不一定总是“皱着脸”。他还表现出“我很担心”、“你在说什么,威利斯”和“我真的要去洗手间”的面部表情。但卡尔森对这段PV视频的说法是否属实,或者这真的是一个热气狒狒的狂吠?
The video appeared to be an undercover video because the footage was rather grainy and filmed at a rather awkward angle. It looked like the type of video taken to prove that someone’s significant other is doing more with the office manager than offic’ing and managing. This video featured someone described by Project Veritas as “Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development - Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planning,” answering questions from an unidentified interviewer. So you could either take Project Veritas’s or Carlson’s words for it or search for this name on Google, Bing, or Duck Duck Go yourself. After all, someone with that kind of title should be fairly easy to find on the Internet, right?
这段视频似乎是一段卧底视频,因为视频画面很粗糙,拍摄角度也很尴尬。这看起来像是一段视频,用来证明某人的另一半与办公室经理的关系比办公和管理更加密切的吧。这段视频的主角是Project Veritas描述的“Jordon Trishton Walker,Pfizer研发总监-战略运营和mRNA科学规划”,回答了一位身份不明的采访者的问题。因此,您可以使用Project Veritas或Carlson的描述,也可以自己在Google、Bing或Duck Duck Go上搜索这个姓名。毕竟,拥有这种头衔的人,应该很容易在互联网上找到,对吧?
Well, a Google search didn’t really reveal any legitimate source that could verify the person’s name and title. Similarly, a search on LinkedIn doesn’t reveal any such verifiable profiles either, just some accounts trying to spread his name. Some of these accounts are spelling the name slightly differently such as “Jordon Triston Walker” or “Jordan Triston Walker.” Of note, a search for “Triston” without the “h” did return an Urban Dictionary entry that described “Triston” as “a very hot and cute boy who always wants to disagree. Who has the softest hair in the entire world.” So if you are looking for someone hot, disagreeable, and really soft-haired, there is that.
OK, let’s suspend disbelief for a second and assume that the video featured an actual Pfizer exec. Did it then really show what Carlson claimed? Hmm, rather than one continuous piece of footage where you could see the real flow of the conversation, the video seemed more like a compilation of clips stitched together. That makes it difficult to tell whether a statement was taken out of context. For example, in the video, this so-called Walker guy explained, “We're exploring, like, you know how the virus keeps mutating? Well, one of the things we're exploring is like, why don't we just mutate it ourselves, so we could focus on, create, preemptively develop new vaccines, right?” That’s a little vague. You can’t tell for sure who “we” really is and whether he was talking about real plans or hypothetical ones.
好吧,谷歌搜索并没有发现任何可以证实此人姓名和头衔的合法来源。同样,LinkedIn上的搜索也没有显示任何此类可验证的个人资料,只是一些试图传播他的名字的账户。其中一些账号的拼写略有不同,例如“乔登·特里斯顿-沃克”或“乔丹·特里斯顿·沃克”。值得注意的是,在搜索“特里斯顿”时,如果没有“h”,确实会返回一个《都市词典》词条,该词条将“特里斯顿“描述为“一个非常性感、可爱的男孩,总是想表达不同意见。他拥有全世界最柔软的头发。”。“所以,如果你要找一个性感、不讨人喜欢、头发真的很软的人,那就有了。
好吧,让我们暂时停止怀疑,并假设视频中有一位实际的辉瑞高管。那它真的表明了卡尔森的主张吗?嗯,与其说是一段连续的视频,你可以看到对话的真实流程,不如说视频更像是一段剪辑过的片段。这使得(我们)很难判断一份声明是否被断章取义。例如,在视频中,这位所谓的沃克先生解释道,“我们正在探索,比如,你知道病毒是如何不断变异的吗?嗯,我们正在探索的一件事是,为什么我们不自己变异它,这样我们就可以专注于、创造、先发制人地开发新的疫苗,对吗?”这就有点含糊了。你无法确定“我们”到底是谁,他说的是真实的计划还是假设的计划。
很遗憾看到福布斯这种为全球富豪们编写的杂志,在前半部穷尽其能事人身攻击一位媒体同行。而之后的行文,也并没有拿出实锤,来证伪美国人民的质疑。也就是说,作为精英中的精英媒体人,在这事儿上除了骂人,还真是没有第二条路可走了……综上,此事便是更加细思极恐了。
