They were the top scientists, the top sort of public health officials of the world were absolutely fooled by the Chinese supposed conquering of COVID in 2020.
Okay, so this story is just, it's mind-boggling. I agree, it deserves more attention. HHS, commissioned a public relations firm named Force Marshberg in September of 2020, and then spent almost a billion dollars over the course of the Biden administration, essentially to propagandize the American public.

Their themes were very, the goal, the main goal was to tell people that if you don't get the COVID vaccine, you are unclean. And they fear-mongered about the risk to kids.

tell you about the benefits of the vaccine, but never once told you about the potential harms, right? So for instance, the side effects of myocarditis for young men, as best I can tell, never came up once in any of their ads. And they put these ads into like the most vulnerable populations. It essentially was a billion dollars spent by the taxpayer to propagandize the American people.

Well, certainly if what the propaganda firm, the PR, sorry, PR firm did is- Well, no, no, no.

If a pharmaceutical company had put those ads out, then they would be liable by the FDA for violating the kind of advertising restrictions the FDA places on pharma. Like they would have, for instance, had to have told the public about the potential for side effects, right?

They couldn't have just promised things that were beneficial about the product without also telling the harms, potential harms, right? It's really shocking. Essentially, the U.S. government became, during the pandemic, especially during the Biden administration, the most gung-ho cheerleader for the pharma industry in the history of the pharma industry. They've never had a better salespeople.

That's right.
It does seem like the election has sort of broken some of the spell. I mean, it's not that it's gone, but it's still, I think it has lost some of its power. You know, I think it's the boy you called Cried Wolf. Like if you are screaming bloody murder And the thing that you're screaming about doesn't happen. People aren't going to believe you so much as easily anymore.

Maybe that's what's happening. And we'll see. I have to say I never thought that it was possible to scare the population in the way that the population was scared in 2020. I was surprised too. I thought we were more rational people than that, that we would look at data. I confess, I was very naive at the beginning of 2020.
