You Paid ~1B$ for this COVID PsyWar Campaign
We Can Do This: An Assessment of the Department of Health and Human Services’ COVID-19 Public Health Campaign

OCT 26



To the surprise of no one, the recently released House Energy and Commerce report on the approximately one billion dollar “indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity” (IDIQ) federal contract awarded by the Biden/Harris Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the “Beltway Bandit” Fors Marsh Group (FMG) has received approximately no coverage by corporate media - and hardly on social media, for that matter. The notable exception being the New York Post.
The report documents that what Fors Marsh Group delivered to HHS for the 991M $ in taxpayer dollars it received was to deploy a massive Psychological Warfare campaign on American Citizens, one which employed a wide range of proven disinformation. Disinformation as defined by spreading falsehoods for political purposes. Those following along closely will recall that the Mayorkas Department of Homeland Security defined the spreading of disinformation during the COVIDcrisis as domestic terrorism.
As previously discussed in an April 18, 2023 essay on this substack titled “Fifth Gen Warfare, Part 3”, this directly relates to the case of the separate “CDC Foundation”-funded “Public Goods Projects” “Shots Heard Round the World”/”Team Halo” gangstalking program that targeted physicians and scientists who contradicted the COVID propaganda and false narratives being spread by HHS agencies and contractor Fors Marsh; illegal for citizens to spread mis- dis- and malinformation or to internet stalk others, but apparently not for government contractors. The recent Energy and Commerce report does not investigate these activities sponsored by the CDC Foundation, which is functionally a congressionally-authorized CDC slush fund capitalized by Pharma and a variety of non-governmental organizations such as the Gates Foundation. Gang and crowdstalking is a federal crime and is also a crime in most if not all states.

According to its website, the CDC Foundation is “the sole entity created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s critical health protection work.” According to its website, Shots Heard is an ongoing initiative under The Public Good Projects (PGP), a “public health nonprofit specializing in large-scale media monitoring programs, social and behavior change interventions, and cross-sector initiatives.”
Another of PGP’s initiatives is the Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC), which sits within the CDC Foundation—a nonprofit arm of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established by Congress.
The goal of the communications collaborative, according to PGP, is to decrease misinformation and increase vaccine demand worldwide. And it’s using social media influencers to silence vaccine detractors. PGP is headquartered in New York and was founded in 2013. Its current CEO is Dr. Joe Smyser, who holds a Ph.D. and master’s in public health and completed his postdoctoral training at the CDC.
The Tennessee Department of Health states about Smyser and PGP, “Dr. Smyser has designed some of the United States’ most influential and impactful health campaigns to date in partnership with the CDC, FDA, Kaiser Permanente, Rockefeller, and Humana.”

Here is a brief clip of NY Post coverage regarding this recent report, to provide additional context:
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.”
<As I predicted long ago would happen… This blowback was readily anticipated by anyone with a modicum of independent thought capacity. As predicted, the entire vaccine enterprise, the CDC, the FDA, clinical research, medical ethics, academic medicine, the Pharmaceutical industry, and public health in general have all taken huge hits in public confidence and support. Much of which was long past due and well deserved. But will there be consequences? Reforms? Will anyone be held accountable? Most of this occurred under the Biden/Harris administration. Please make your own political analyses and predictions. I have become so wary and skeptical (and battle-scarred) that I only foresee more of the same in the future.>
Carrying on from the NY Post (which did a great job with its in-depth reporting):
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.”
Nevertheless, Harris and President Biden’s administration went on to spread unreliable information about “vaccine uptake, masking, social distancing and booster vaccine uptake,” much of which was based on CDC guidance.
As the House panel probed the campaign, the CDC began to “edit and erase” many of the video ads from its YouTube channel, the report noted.
None remain available to the public — and most used scaremongering to browbeat the unvaccinated into believing that taking the shot was the only way to return to pre-pandemic norms.

That sounds like an impeachable offense to me.

Awful... and certainly to the surprise of no one who follows the Covid thread here on Sigforum.

Man, if we only had a multiple page thread to put all the COVID stuff in…….
