HHS Spent $911M On COVID Vaccine Messaging, ‘consistently overstated’ Virus Risk to Kids, Damning House Report Finds; Biden-Harris Administration ‘Wasted Nearly $1 Billion’ on COVID Messaging—‘Much of It Was Misleading!’ Explosive Congressional Report Shocks Nation!, and other C-Virus related stories
HHS spent $911M on COVID vaccine messaging, ‘consistently overstated’ virus risk to kids, damning House report finds:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent $911 million of taxpayer money on a massive COVID-19 vaccination promotion campaign that lied about masking, vaccines and boosters — and “consistently overstated” the risk of the virus to children, according to a shocking House committee report.
The GOP-led House Energy and Commerce panel released a scathing, 113-page document Wednesday about the most significant public health missteps, fibs and cover-ups from HHS and its subagency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“CDC’s guidance, which the Campaign relied on, went beyond the terms of FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to state, without evidence, that COVID vaccines were highly effective against transmission,” the report states. “This ultimately had a negative impact on vaccine confidence and the CDC’s credibility when proven untrue.”
It also states that the CDC “had inconsistent and flawed messaging about the effectiveness of masks,” “consistently overstated the risk of COVID-19 to children” and still “continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for all Americans ages six months and older, which has made the United States a global outlier in COVID-19 policy.”
HHS shelled out $911,174,285 to the behavior change research and strategy firm Fors Marsh for the multimedia advertising campaign between August 2020 and June 2023.
That’s 20 times more than the $45 million spent on an ad campaign by the National Institutes of Health to promote its National Cancer Institute in 2012 — and roughly 40 times the whole communications budget that same year for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The “We Can Do This” campaign kicked off as the final stages of Operation Warp Speed vaccine trials wound down — and then-Democratic vice presidential nominee and California Sen. Kamala Harris sowed doubt about their efficacy.
“I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump, and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about,” she told CNN of Operation Warp Speed in September 2020. “I will not take his word for it.” ––>READ MORE HERE
Biden-Harris Administration ‘Wasted Nearly $1 Billion’ on COVID Messaging—‘Much of It Was Misleading!’ Explosive Congressional Report Shocks Nation!:
The Biden-Harris administration is facing intense scrutiny following the release of a Congressional report that revealed nearly a billion dollars were spent on promoting COVID-era messaging—much of which was later found to be misleading or untrue. The explosive report has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with critics accusing the administration of wasting taxpayer money while spreading inaccurate information.
According to the report, the administration allocated close to $1 billion for public relations campaigns, advertisements, and other forms of communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The messaging aimed to promote vaccines, health protocols, and government policies related to the pandemic. However, the Congressional findings indicate that a significant portion of these efforts was based on information that was later debunked or proven to be misleading.
“This is a shocking misuse of taxpayer dollars,” one Congressional leader stated. “The Biden-Harris administration spent nearly $1 billion to push messaging that turned out to be false or misleading. It’s an outrage, and the American people deserve answers.”
The report detailed how government-funded campaigns promoted information that has since been discredited, including exaggerated claims about the effectiveness of certain health measures and the long-term safety of vaccines. Critics argue that these inaccuracies not only wasted public funds but also contributed to confusion and mistrust among the American public during an already chaotic time.
“People were scared and vulnerable, and the administration spent nearly a billion dollars feeding them misleading information,” one political analyst remarked. “This isn’t just about the money—it’s about the erosion of trust in public health institutions.” —>READ MORE HERE
