this does the spanish doctor received money for promoting covid
- 00:05 - 00:07
vaccines according to death, misleading story.
- 00:08 - 00:11
The spanish Dr Federico Martinez received a payment from fighter
- 00:11 - 00:12
for promoting covid vaccines.
- 00:13 - 00:16
The true part of this story is that Dr Federico
- 00:17 - 00:19
indeed received a payment from Pfizer.
- 00:20 - 00:23
The false sport is to claim that this payment was
- 00:23 - 00:25
specifically for promoting covid vaccines.
- 00:26 - 00:29
The payment was three years ago and for working in
- 00:29 - 00:35
pharmaceutical research and development programs to to the trees to
- 00:36 - 00:39
do these facts that seriously are verified that their story
- 00:39 - 00:41
is mostly false than true.
- 00:42 - 00:45
The target of this story is the pharmaceutical company Pfizer
- 00:46 - 00:49
And it was originally posted on Twitter by Eastern News
- 00:49 - 00:51
on August 21, 2021.
- 00:52 - 00:55
The US started after the Argentine actor Marcello Santos made
- 00:56 - 00:58
a post on instagram in which he shared a screenshot
- 00:59 - 01:01
of opposed from the spanish web portal.
- 01:02 - 01:08
The publication states that Dr Federico received about €100,000 for
- 01:09 - 01:09
promoting covid vaccines.
- 01:10 - 01:14
Despite no clarifying what the relationship between these two things
- 01:15 - 01:18
release as a as a result, twitter and instagram users
- 01:19 - 01:23
spread test news without interest in good reading or investigating
- 01:23 - 01:29
further. Mhm I will classify this story um as misinformation
- 01:30 - 01:33
because it creates a false connection and has misleading content
- 01:33 - 01:37
about this story and might have psychological consequences because it
- 01:37 - 01:40
negatively exchanges people's perception of vaccines.
- 01:41 - 01:44
I think the motivation of people sharing this story.
- 01:45 - 01:48
The story was perhaps I shared feeling to prevent abuse
- 01:48 - 01:54
by large companies deceiving people to pay spokespersons in persuade
- 01:54 - 01:55
of private interests.
- 01:58 - 02:03
Now I don't think sharing this message has financial motivation
- 02:03 - 02:06
directly. Instead, it is probably filled by social and psychological
- 02:07 - 02:11
motivations that believe the emergency vaccines in this case are
- 02:12 - 02:14
not safe or my post too many risks for people
- 02:15 - 02:15
following this.
- 02:16 - 02:19
I think the intended audience of death message was public
- 02:19 - 02:22
that probably believe in the right to decide about their
- 02:22 - 02:26
own bodies and protect their hill or even those who
- 02:26 - 02:28
believe in some conspiracy tourists.
- 02:30 - 02:33
Finally, it is unlikely that there will be serious financial
- 02:34 - 02:37
consequences for fighter, even if people believe this story, because
- 02:37 - 02:40
the company has so many other products and lines of
- 02:40 - 02:43
research that are always at work.
- 02:44 - 02:47
Additionally, it's important to emphasize that their story is harmful
- 02:48 - 02:51
because it could lead to a greater rejection of vaccines,
- 02:53 - 02:54
which aren't necessarily unsafe.
