'It is important that we remove violative reuploads of this content as it spreads harmful misinformation'
The most widely viewed and explosive video in Project Veritas' history of undercover "sting" reporting is so popular that it has drawn Big Tech censorship despite being virtually ignored by the mainstream media.
A new whistleblower leak to PV shows exactly how YouTube, owned by Google, restricted the ability of people to see the undercover videos — using the claim of "COVID vaccine misinformation."
Last week, Project Veritas exposed a Pfizer executive, Jordon Trishton Walker, who revealed in a secretly taped video conversation that his corporation was exploring intentionally creating mutations of the COVID virus to "preemptively develop new vaccines."
Walker indicated Covid "is going to be a cash cow for us" and said, "Don't tell anyone this. ...There is a risk ... have to be very controlled to make sure this virus you mutate doesn't create something ... the way that the virus started in Wuhan, to be honest."
That undercover video has been viewed some 30 million times in less than a week, according to Project Veritas, despite being ignored outside of Fox News and conservative media outlets.
Walker, who thought he was on a homosexual date with the man who turned out to be a Project Veritas undercover journalist, later physically attacked PV founder James O’Keefe after O’Keefe confronted him in an eatery, with videotape rolling, about the original sting video:
A leaked YouTube memo, like the "Twitter files" made possible by Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, gives a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a giant social-media corporation and how it goes about blocking access to conservative content. It also shows that establishment COVID narratives remain a useful tool for Big Tech censors.
The Jan. 27 memo, titled "URGENT GUIDANCE: Project Veritas video on the Pfizer vaccine," claims that the full PV video "violates the [Youtube] COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation policy for making a categorical claim that COVID-19 vaccines are ineffective, and should therefore be removed...."
It then gives the offending quote by O'Keefe commenting in the original PV video on his undercover reporter's findings (emphasis theirs): "Our undercover journalist asked Walker how Pfizer is handling the fact that their COVID vaccines are ineffective against virus variants. What he said is disturbing; listen to this." The memo directs all uploaded videos containing that "timestamp" to be taken down.
Under the heading, "WHY:" the YouTube memo states, "It is important that we remove violative reuploads of this content as it spreads harmful misinformation about approved vaccines against COVID-19."
Under "WHO:" it states, "All agents working Medical Misinfo Queues."
