The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services hired a PR firm to create a propaganda campaign designed to increase COVID vaccine uptake, according to U.S. House report.
The U.S. House of Representatives report on U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) COVID-19 propaganda is devastating.
The Biden administration spent almost $1 billion to push falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines, boosters and masks on the American people. If a pharma company had run the campaign, it would have been fined out of existence.
HHS engaged a PR firm, the Fors Marsh Group (FMG), for the propaganda campaign. The main goal was to increase COVID-19 vax uptake.
The strategy:
- Exaggerate COVID-19 mortality risk.
- Downplay the fact that there was no good evidence that the COVID-19 vax stops transmission.
The propaganda campaign extended beyond vax uptake and included exaggerating mask efficacy and pushing for social distancing and school closures.
Ultimately, since the messaging did not match reality, the campaign collapsed public trust in public health.
The PR firm (FMG) drew most of its faulty science from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “guidance,” which ignored the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) findings on the vaccine’s limitations, as well as scientific findings from other countries that contradicted CDC groupthink.
