In May 2023, a video was encouraged on the Web, on which a certain woman allegedly eats a living rainworm directly from wet asphalt. It is reported that the heroine of the video is a specialist in nutrition, working with the World Economic Forum. We decided to figure out whether this video was true and its description.
If you believe numerous publications, then Dr. Hilda Etzorm in his social networks I decided "To clearly show what she is going to" feed "." About video toldFor example, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, describing what is happening as follows: “In a small video that is located in Tiktok, the adviser to the World Economic Forum program“ Feed the Peace ”Dr. Hilda Etzorm is walking along a small street after summer rain. Suddenly she publishes a animal roar (a woman shouts: “Uh-oo, the first worm of this summer!”-approx. Ed.), Seeing a long rainworm in front of her, kneels and licks it from asphalt. After that, she swallows him and yaps like a dog. ” The official publication of the Government of the Russian Federation indicated that “the author, who posted the video, called it a joke,” but the text has no doubt that a woman is an employee of the World Economic Forum.
Telegram channels shared a video with similar descriptions "The world of Mikhail Onufrienko"(329,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Uncle Glory"(194,000), Voblya (178 000), "Bullet"(177 000),"Zlaya Pruf"(160,000),"Ether 18+"(159,000),"What happened?"(110 000),"Own correspondent"(100,000),"Tin of the day"(99,000),"Darwin Prize"(90 000),"Petya the first"(88 000), Putin TG Team (79,000), "True Russia"(69,000),"Batkovich"(25,000),"Summary"(19,000) and"Timothy Bazhenov Live"(18,000). Posts about how and what Etzorma had a bite, are also found in Twitter (Examples here, here And here), "VKontakte"(here, here And here), Facebook* (here, here And here), Instagram*, on "Picabu"And others entertainment or news sites.
It was not possible to find evidence that the WEF has an adviser named Hilda Etzorm - moreover, we did not find information on the Internet that a person with such a name generally exists. FACHECHERS from the Melbourne Royal Technological University Turned The press service of the WEF, where they were replied that the organization does not have advisers with that name. “This is invented to discredit the important work that the World Economic Forum does according to serious global challenges,” the representative of the organization added.
In Runet, the video was massively disassembled on May 14, 2023, and in the English -language segment of the Internet, the video became popular day earlier. In the original woman called Hilda Eatzeworm - this surname is consonant with the phrases Eat the Worm (“Eat the worm”) and Eats A Worm (“Eat the worm”), that is, its Russian -speaking analogue - Cherveredova. This indicates that all the news could be a simple joke. But then who was eating an invertebrate animal?
The Tiktok logo, as well as user user user, is posted on the frames of the viral video - @erinn_clarkk. At the time of writing this analysis, such an account on the platform is absent, but in the Internet archive There is A few saved copies. According to Description Profile, a woman's name is Erin Clark - she is from Canada and removes content with a note 18+. “Tested” found her Instagram account, where in the description It is said: “The big [Tiktok-] account was banned forever, subscribe to the new- Erinn.clarkk". At the same time, in Tiktok, we found another profile, most likely belonging to the blogger, - @Erinklak419. In Instagram, a video with eating a worm Clark Loose As early as April 23, 2021.
Unfortunately, in no preserved copy of the page with a remote Canadian Tiktok Account, the video with the worm is shown to us, but we found it re-zasal. So, the earliest found “checked” publication containing a fragment of the video, was It was posted on April 15, 2021 in the account of the millionaire-millionaires Celinaspoookyboo-this version gained almost 8 million views.
In addition, "verified" discovered version, which is a recording of the screen of the device on which the original video Clark is played. A description also got into the frame, according to which "not a single animal was injured in the process of creating this video." This phrase can have several meanings: for example, that the worm was already dead before shooting, that Clark ate a copy of a real worm or that it could be another joke. “Verified” turned to the blogger for comment, but did not receive an answer at the time of publication of this analysis.

After that, on the preserved page of the remote Tiktok Clark, we found a almost identical video, published April 16, 2021. The signature also indicated that the animals were not harmful and that the previous video was deleted. At the same time, the inscription appeared in the new version of the video: "No ... in fact, I did not eat the worm."
We cannot unequivocally confirm or refute that the video blogger really did not eat the worm, but it is known for sure that eating different creatures and objects is one of the often used by the gags. For example, there is a review of Clark's creativity on the network, from which it follows that she had a whole series Similar videos: she ate them (or only pretended to eat) a moth, God's cow, dandelion and not only. At the same time, she screamed a phrase similar to a video with a worm, for example: "U-oo, the first bloodworm of this summer."
To determine who first published a video with the signature of the adviser of the WEF is problematic, but the earliest mention of Hilda Etzorm, which was “tested”, was able to find, was May 13, 2023 at 02:17 Moscow time on a man named Mark Alan Pierce. According to his profile, the pier often spreads the theories of the conspiracy: for example, he Hinted for US involvement in terrorist acts on September 11, 2001, Share the opinion of the ex-head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin that the United States did not land on the moon denied global climate change, accusing the media of its popularization, as well as He performed Against vaccination from coronavirus.
Thus, the advisers of the program of the WEF “Feed the World” of Dr. Hilda Etzorm does not exist, and the woman from the viral video is the video blogger Erin Clark, which creates a shock-content. The video itself is genuine, but it is not known exactly whether Clark really ate a living worm or it was a dummy.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
