This is an exclusive from the Blaze. A lot of companies, a lot of media companies now are starting to push FOIA requests, freedom of information act requests. So check out this headline. This is huge. Exclusive, the federal government paid hundreds of media companies to advertise the COVID-19 vaccine, while those same outlets provided positive coverage of the vaccines. Gigantic that says here in the article in response to a FOIA request filed by the Blaze HHS

reveal that it purchased advertising for major news networks, including, your notebooks out and put a check by this if you're watching these organizations. ABC, CBS, NBC, as well as cable TV news stations, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, legacy media publications including the New York Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post, digital media companies like BuzzFeed News and Newsmax and hundreds of local newspapers and TV stations. Goes on to say these outlets were collectively responsible for publishing countless articles and video segments regarding the vaccine that were nearly uniformly positive about the vaccine in terms of both its efficacy and safety. Problem is they didn't put a disclaimer on any of that reporting

that it was paid for by HHS. And here we are. We're literally in an inverse universe here, Del, like you mentioned. HHS, as we know, the 1986 Act tasked HHS with vaccine safety. This is the organization Health and Human Services should be looking after vaccine safety. That's one of That's one of the primary goals. They're supposed to be the skeptical ones in the room, not the pompom cheerleaders ad buying pushers of the next drug made by a pharmaceutical company. Right, not literally selling it.

So let's go to how much money did they have to deal with this. This is from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. I mean, all of these things were passed so fast. We probably forgot about this. This is HR 1319. And it says here in section 2302, funding for vaccine confidence activities. This is where this money came from. And it says, here's the number, $1 billion with a B, two goes on to carry out activities acting through the director of the

Center for Disease Control and Prevention for, number one, to strengthen vaccine confidence in the United States, including its territories and possessions. Wow, one billion dollars, folks. That's what we're up against there. Rochelle Walensky is waiting for someone to tell her that vaccines may not stop variants and they're using a billion dollars to push everybody to get it. Meanwhile, we're telling the truth here. Can I just take this moment, Jeffrey? Just excuse me a second. Folks, do you realize that your life and the reality and the truth around the science

that's happening here is literally hanging like, I think, in our hands here at the highway? I mean, it's a scary thought. I get it. You know, how is it that some, you know, news agency on the internet is getting all of these things right when the CDC is getting it wrong and having to change? change the science on a constant basis because it's not black and white. I mean, I just want to take this moment. Do you realize how important those of you that have been donating to us? Do you realize what we are achieving here? And believe me, it's not easy. We are not just, this isn't just a room

full of news people. We have international scientists on our team all around the world, the best in the world. Some of them you know, some of them are remaining anonymous, but they are helping contribute to this along with the great reporting by Jeffrey Jackson and, you know, interesting. working with these people and using lawyers, not just ours here, Aaron, Siri in America, but speaking with lawyers all around the world to have lawsuits going. All of this is taking place. It's a huge network and it's getting bigger every day and that's only possible through your help. So please, if you're not one of those people that has become a recurring donor,

then hopefully this moment when you realize, you mean we are spending a billion dollars. Every news agency I'm watching is simply a propaganda machine. Yes, even Fox folks, even Fox propaganda machine for the government that's locking me down, giving me a defunct product that doesn't work. That's the case. We want to continue this work. And believe me, we got big lawsuits ahead. We are not going to just let this just disappear.

They want to walk off in the sunset and forget this ever happened. We will never let that be.

If you only want to give a couple bucks a month, you know, then like a cup of coffee, fine. If you want a cable bill, then it's more. Or if you want to just pitch in maybe one dinner a week, say, you know what, instead of going out to dinner, why don't we support those that are the only ones actually giving accurate science that is holding up is standing through the test of time. Name another news agency that has the track record we have. You're making that possible. And thank you to all of you that are supporting the high wire through these incredible times. We are not going away. This has only just begun. All right, Jeffrey, back to you. Absolutely. So Health and Human Services was not shy about this campaign.

In fact, they put it right on their website. This is what it looked like. And it's still up there. A COVID-19 public education campaign is called, We Can Do This. That's what they labeled it. And it says here, in there, the campaign uses products for paid and earned traditional digital and social media platforms. It also says the campaign uses both paid advertising and media interviews, presentations, radio TV tours, and other public events to educate people about the importance of vaccination. So remember all those times Dr. Fauci was on with those low information celebrities or those

podcasters, there's nobody heard about when everyone was lining up to ask some hard questions, he would dodge their shows, never go on them and go on this media tour of all these people just to get some clicks and likes. This is what was being paid. This is where the money was coming from to give to those influencers to push this message, to push the message of, quote unquote, science that he claimed to represent. Yeah. Remember that famous video where like everybody ends up saying the same script?

Take a look at this. Hi, I'm Foxx-An-Antonios Jessica Headley. And I'm Ryan Wolf. Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Treasure Valley, communities. The El Paso-Las-Cruces communities. Eastern Iowa communities. Mid-Michigan communities. We are extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that CBS4 News produces. But we are concerned about the trouble in trying to be responsible one-sided news stories plaguing our country.

The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish the same fake stories without checking facts first. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming some media outlets. Policist, policies are true without checking facts first. Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what people think. And this is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

I worked in television. There's a script being written. It's being written by your government health agencies. And you know who's writing it for them? Because actually, they're not that smart. Pfizer, Moderna. They're writing the script. They're handing it to HHS and Tony Fauci and Wollenski and Wollenski,

who's really good at waiting for someone to tell her what's actually going on. And then she hands it off the CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and the rest. That is America, the beautiful and free speech and free media as we know it today. And speaking of CNN, check out this headline. We heard through the UK. We've reported on so many times that they use fear. Well, this is the HHS vaccination ads use a new tactic to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates. Fear.

These are the headlines coming out when the HHS received all its money. So they were using the same tactics that the UK was using, that the people that actually, they're called Spy B, that that. they talked about using and they said they were worried that this is going to have a long lasting effect on the population we never should have did this hHS is doing the same thing so that's what's happening in the u.s it was a coordinated response or a coordinated push to market these vaccines across the line and and the covid measures in general right i mean on the one hand you're advertised the other hand you're paying i'm god knows what to social media platforms to censor

just like we were this week censor great scientists like dr robert malone dr peter mccullough i mean It was a multi-pronged effort. But let's remember that failed, failed miserably.
