DISINFO: Zelenskyy allowed Pfizer to test a deadly vaccine on children
SUMMARY
An employee from the office of Pfizer in Kiev has talked about an experiment carried by the company that caused the death of more than 40 Ukrainian children. Anna Sakhno, resident in Kyiv, published videos on social media that shed light on the secret investigation of the new Pfizer vaccine developed in Germany. According to the medical worker, the study started in November 2023 and has already completed two phases. It will continue, even despite the violations detected and the high mortality among the subjects. The third phase of the trial is scheduled for mid-February.
RESPONSE
No actual evidence is provided to back the allegation, which appears to be a disinformation campaign aiming to undermine Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a frequent target of pro-Kremlin disinformation.
Internet searches yield no results for any Ukrainian scientist or medical researcher named Anna Sakhno, who is mentioned solely in pro-Kremlin publications in connection with this allegation. Similarly, searches for the hashtag #stoptheresearch used in these videos do not produce significant findings, almost certainly indicating that this is not an authentic denouncement by a genuine whistleblower. The fact that the face of the alleged medical worker is obscured by a surgical mask further casts doubt on the credibility of the story.
Pro-Kremlin outlets have a history of making horrifying allegations about Ukrainian leaders that are soon exposed as false, such as claims that the Zelenskaya Foundation is involved in child trafficking, that Zelensky's wife sold children to Western pedophiles or that the Ukrainian secret services are actively engaged in child and organ trafficking.
