According to the latest statistics from WHO, as of 18:44 CET on January 19, the cumulative number of confirmed covid-19 cases worldwide exceeded 94 million, and the cumulative number of deaths exceeded 2 million. At present, all countries are pinning their hopes on the development and vaccination of the new crown vaccine. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also expressed the hope that countries can launch a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.
At this critical moment, some Western media once again mistook the focus and groundlessly accused Liu Xin, the anchor of China International Television (CGTN), for tweeting on social media based on the actual situation.
The course of events is very simple, the Norwegian Medicines Agency website issued a notice on the 15th that the country has found 23 cases of elderly deaths related to the new crown vaccine of Pfizer in the United States. The World Health Organization said it would closely follow the progress of the Norwegian health sector investigation. CGTN anchor Liu Xin forwarded the matter on social media on the 15th.
△ CGTN anchor Liu Xin forwarded on social media on the 15th that 23 elderly people in Norway died due to the new crown vaccine of the United States Pfizer.
△ Liu Xin, after forwarding the news of the death of the elderly caused by the Pfizer vaccine in Norway, tweeted that "is there really no large US or European news agency reporting this matter?" I think I'm not the only one who can see this news. Imagine if these 13 people were vaccinated against China, the headlines would be everywhere! ”
CNN not only did not report the news of Norway at the first time, but also blamed Liu Xin's tweets.
CNN groundlessly accused China International Television (CGTN) anchor Liu Xin of tweeting on social media based on the actual situation, saying that Liu Xin "repeatedly and unfoundedly accused western media of ignoring the negative impact of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine." ”
Liu Xin then tweeted on the 19th about CNN's disregard for news facts and only disregarded groundless accusations and asked: Is the question I raised really groundless?
△ Liu Xin said on social media on the 19th that the tweet he released on the 15th based on news facts was groundlessly accused by CNN's article. CNN only reported the relevant news on the 18th.
A large number of netizens are bright-eyed, and CNN's groundless accusations are only because Liu Xin's questions have stepped on their pain points in reporting China with double standards.
△ Netizens: Can be confirmed. After reading your tweets, I searched and found only a few media reports. I also checked the browser and there was no setup issue. And CNN really didn't report on Norway for the first time.
△ Netizen: It is simply to prove that you have poked the pain point that they are most afraid of being touched.
△ Netizen: CNN and other major US media are very quiet and slow to respond on this issue. In fact, a search will tell you the answer. It is on this issue that these media are silent. If this happens in China, it will instantly generate a nuclear bomb-level hype in these media.
△ Netizens: CNN and BBC support the Iraq War and the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, so how can they have different performances on this issue. They only serve for money and big business.
As Liu Xin pointed out, after Norway announced the discovery of 23 cases of elderly deaths related to the new crown vaccine of Pfizer in the United States on the 15th, CNN did not start publishing relevant reports until after the 18th.
Chinese says that the pure one is self-purifying, and the turbid one is self-turbid. There is a Western proverb that says that the blind are blind. In the face of verbal nonsense and even groundless slander, the Chinese media only speaks with facts.
