HHS Launches Vaccine Campaign
[Epoch Times] In an announcement on Aug. 19, the federal health agency stated that it is trying to "increase awareness of vaccines" for influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus, more commonly known as RSV."Respiratory illness from flu, COVID-19, and RSV viruses usually surge during colder weather and can cause severe disease, hospitalization, and even death," HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Jeffery Nesbit said in a statement.  While the agency did not provide specific data on the vaccines, Nesbit noted that HHS’s goal for the coming months is to "increase confidence in vaccines that play an important role in preventing severe illness from these viruses and to provide the information that the American people need to make the decision to get vaccinated this fall and winter."Increase confidence? By censoring the continuing reports of problems? The campaign, titled "Risk Less. Do More," will use paid advertising and "media coverage" on television, social media, radio, print, and other platforms, it stated. The federal agency will also work with local and state health agencies and organizations "to ensure all audiences have access to information from sources they trust," according to the statement. Trust the government's ad campaign? Try talking to your doctor. Mine are not pushing the new shots. They did recommend a shot for Hepatitis A and Hep B. In recent months, COVID-19 cases have seen an uptick, with wastewater data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing cases at "very high" levels in 32 states. However, despite the recent rise, deaths from COVID-19 remain near all-time lows in recent months, according to the CDC’s historical data. I suppose wastewater data included people who were unaware they had COVID. The vaccine campaign also comes as mRNA vaccine makers Pfizer and BioNTech stated last week that their combined flu and COVID-19 vaccine faltered in a late-stage trial, finding the combination shot failed to meet one of the study’s two main goals and that they are evaluating the next steps.
