The federal government paid media outlets to promote vaccines during the pandemic in order to make sure people got them. This is an extraordinary story and revelation that has not been widely reported. It shows that the government and legacy media are working together to create conditions where ordinary people have limited access to information and are exposed to information that is subsequently proven to not be true. Let's look at the details now and see if it can help us adapt our worldview, awaken, and oppose the kind of corruption that seems all too present continually in the media and in our society. Remember, your government's money is your money. They don't have any independent money, and when they get it, they invest it pretty quickly in the stock market. And they're not involved in the funding. They're not in the business of auditing like the rest of us, and they aren't involved in oversight of the government's spending. So why is this happening? And why is it happening in the first place? And how can we stop it from happening in our own homes, schools, hospitals, and homes across the U.S.A. and everywhere else? And what will we do to stop it? Stay tuned for our next episode of Awakening Wonders, where we take a deeper dive into this incredible story!

00:00:23.000Once a week we bring you in-depth conversations with guests like Jordan Peterson, RFK Jr, Sam Harris, Vandana Shiva, Gabor Mate and many more.

00:00:34.000Remember, there's an episode every single day to educate and elevate our consciousness together.
00:00:51.000We know now that authoritarianism is on the rise.
00:00:53.000It's not in the form of militant dictatorships, but technological dictatorships, always seemingly in order to advance your safety and your convenience.
00:01:00.000As in today's story, the federal government paid media organisations to promote vaccines during the pandemic.
00:01:07.000During the time where people that were hesitant, suspicious about new, untrialled medications were shamed and told that they shouldn't be allowed admission into hospitals amidst the plethora, almost to numerous, to count of untruths around whether or not they prevented transmissions or even were trialled, where it came from, whether or not certain information was repressed or suppressed, whether young people needed to take it, how effective booster shots were, whether or not deaths were being recorded properly, whether or not adverse injuries, all of that stuff.
00:01:35.000Additionally, your government, that means your money, because remember, your government's money is your money.
00:01:40.000They don't have any independent money and when they get it, they invest it pretty quickly in the stock market, let me tell you.
00:01:56.000Perhaps because it shows that the government and the legacy media are cooperating to bring about conditions where ordinary people have limited access to information and are exposed to information that is subsequently proven to not be true.
00:02:40.000Unlike this vaccine that we're paying for, you're paying for, and this advert that we're paying for, you're paying for, it never wears off.
00:02:56.000But they can restore their protection with an updated vaccine because getting COVID again means risking long COVID or even hospitalisation.
00:03:04.000Let me know in the comments if you can think of any other situations that might lead to hospitalisation or worse.
00:03:09.000Get your updated vaccine because COVID can be anywhere.
00:03:25.000Let's look at the details now and see if it can help us adapt our worldview, awaken, and oppose the kind of corruption that seems all too present continually.
00:03:35.000Mainstream media's nearly monolithic coverage of mRNA vaccines and other COVID measures can be at least partially explained by a clear financial interest.
00:03:43.000Yes, Recently, a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the conservative media company, The Blaze, found a number of major media outlets were paid to promote the Covid vaccine.
00:03:54.000Such venues included, and get ready for a list of the usual suspects, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, NBC, CNN, Fox News and several others.
00:04:06.000The Blaze's report received little coverage, even in conservative media, perhaps because some of those outlets were also paid by HHS, the Department of Health and Human Services, ideologically predisposed to criticize government-fueled narratives on the pandemic.
00:04:20.000As the Blaze reports, hundreds of news organizations were paid by the federal government to advertise for the vaccine as part of a comprehensive media campaign.
00:04:32.000It seems corrupt and incomprehensible.
00:04:35.000According to the documents the blaze obtained from the Department of Health and Human Services, they have to use Freedom of Information Act rights and legislation to get it.
00:04:43.000This information is not freely available.
00:04:48.000Can't we tell you in 75 years when you're all dead?
00:04:51.000The Biden administration purchased ads on TV, radio, in print and on social media to build vaccine confidence, timing this effort with the increasing availability of the vaccines.
00:05:01.000Vaccine confidence should be related to vaccine efficacy and transparency.
00:05:06.000Wouldn't you agree that your confidence in any government project ought to be based on transparency, authenticity, integrity?
00:05:13.000Or do you just want to be told stuff, denied access to all of the information and shamed if you don't participate?
00:05:19.000The latter would be more effective and work more quickly.
00:05:39.000The US Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 public education campaign states they employed both paid advertising and media interviews, presentations, radio, TV tours and other public events to educate people about the importance of vaccination.
00:05:54.000I'm just going to educate you about the importance of vaccinations.
00:05:58.000And now we're going to educate you about the importance of prison.
00:06:01.000Here is the legacy media literally presenting information as if it was news when in fact it was propaganda.
00:06:08.000If by propaganda you mean information that was paid for by the state and was not revealed to be state-sponsored information in order to exert mind control, is that a good definition?
00:06:19.000Well, I don't know if this is a good definition.
00:06:41.000We've got to deal with the actual dead.
00:06:43.000Some of whom died very suddenly for some reason.
00:06:45.000The HHS website contains public access to all vaccine campaign advertisements for media outlets and beyond.
00:06:51.000One past advertisement promotes COVID vaccination in children featuring a montage of selected medical doctors stating in unison, we can all agree on this.
00:06:59.000You can trust the COVID vaccine for yourself or your kids or your grandkids.
00:07:04.000Yeah, We're gonna need a rewrite on that because, well, it's not necessary for kids, the grandparents might not be in a position to say this, and the heart is in particular jeopardy.
00:08:07.000Particularly not during that misinformation, malinformation, tirade, that time of censorship of true information, the closing down of debate.
00:08:14.000This is astonishing that this is happening, isn't it?
00:08:16.000A new government ad on the HHS website now promotes the updated COVID vaccine.
00:08:21.000It falsely claims the new booster shot prevents long COVID and hospitalisation when the only available evidence from Pfizer and Moderna are rat studies and a 50 person trial with an unexplained 2% rate of serious adverse events.
00:10:12.000Come on, let's get back into this content.
00:10:14.000The New York Times reporting on vaccine induced myocarditis, for example, downplayed the side effects at every site and compared it to misleadingly higher rates of covid induced myocarditis.
00:10:24.000A study finds that myocarditis is more common after covid than vaccination.
00:10:29.000Second vaccine doses raise the risk of myocarditis in young men, but the condition remains very rare.
00:10:34.000Researchers find a higher than expected risk of myocarditis in young men after full vaccination.
00:10:39.000Do you remember that period where we felt like, are they saying that Covid causes side effects that are caused by the vaccine?
00:10:46.000Do you remember that bit of the pandemic cycle?
00:10:48.000For over two years, the media and government officials have been peddling dangerous misinformation.
00:10:53.000For very sin, they accuse the conspiracy web of committing about COVID-19 posing a higher risk to young people than the vaccine.
00:11:00.000Instead of examining age, gender and health stratified risk benefit ratios, they elementarily look at aggregate data and cherry pick seemingly beneficial outcomes to justify their everyone should get vaccinated campaign.
00:11:38.000Every time I think we've reached a new depth of reporting and propaganda and misinformation in this issue, some more information comes out.
00:11:46.000And I sincerely believe that's why independent media is being censored because they can't keep up with the rate of revelation anymore, even though we all have this collective amnesia, which is probably a side effect and aren't willing to really countenance what's happened in the last three years.
00:12:00.000Because it's almost too terrible to take on board.
00:12:03.000One of the most discrediting media assault campaigns grew in opposition to Joe Rogan's claim in a June 2021 podcast that healthy 21-year-olds didn't need the vaccine.
00:12:12.000Over two years later, Rogan's judgment has been vindicated As it was at the time, given the 0.003% mortality risk among 20-year-olds and unusually high rates of myocardial and menstrual-related vaccine adverse events, however, the mainstream media ecosystem conducted a fierce reputational decapitation in response to Rogan's impermissible dissent from the CDC and Pfizer edicts.
00:12:36.000Let's for a moment just hold in our minds the reality that the government paid the legacy media to report favourable information, they suppressed information that was true but not favourable, and they smeared and attacked dissenters for telling the truth.
00:12:52.000Let me know in the chat and the comments.
00:12:54.000Let me know if you think that it's possible that even I have been subject to these kind of attacks because of the reporting that we have done on this channel, because we have connected to an independent audience, because we have participated in helping to construct a narrative that's given people the ability to at least choose whether or not they want to be obedient and compliant or a little more circumspect when it comes to their own bodily autonomy.
00:13:16.000Think too about Novak Djokovic, how he was continually vilified and attacked and harangued.
00:13:21.000People said that it was about public opinion.
00:13:25.000And we now know that the media is paid for by Pfizer, is paid for by the government, and it's about controlling the public sphere, not safety, not health, not wellness.
00:13:35.000They're promoting information that is dangerous.
00:13:37.000They are censoring information that is sensible.
00:14:08.000Even if what we're talking about, even if what it should have been is, look, we think these medications might be useful for this part of the population, you should probably be careful if you're part of this.
00:14:15.000It's extraordinary what's taken place.
00:14:34.000We're now just going to get on with the business of holding muted inquiries and having little lawsuits here and there that will prevent the true story getting out.
00:14:42.000Meanwhile, a whole raft of censorship laws and smear campaigns have been launched against dissenters across the world.
00:15:11.000Today, Dr Fauci says Joe Rogan is incorrect to tell young people not to get vaccinated.
00:15:15.000I think Fauci was incorrect to go round to various government agencies disparaging the lab leak theory when it increasingly seems like that's exactly how this whole process began and they indeed participated in the funding of that very lab.
00:15:35.000But believe me, that mentality has not gone away.
00:15:38.000If you are a dissenting voice, you will be attacked.
00:15:41.000If you're an individual communicating online, you'll likely be censored.
00:15:43.000Let us know in the chat if you've had your free speech impaired.
00:15:46.000And if you're a public figure, the attacks could be unprecedented, immersive, coordinated and terrifying.
00:15:52.000The United States wasn't alone in spending large sums of taxpayer dollars to promote its agenda.
00:15:56.000The Trudeau government invested over $600,000 in hiring social media influencers to advance federal directives, including the push for Canadians to get vaccinated and boosted.
00:16:06.000Fed spent more than $600,000 hiring influencers in 2021.
00:16:09.000As CTV reports, Health Canada spent the most on hiring influencers to promote government information.
00:16:15.000$130,600 was spent towards an influencer campaign in support of the COVID-19 vaccination marketing and advertising campaign.
00:16:21.000None of this is to mention Pfizer's vaccine campaigns, paying celebrities to rhapsodise about marvelously safe and effective mRNA inoculation.
00:16:29.000Travis Kelsey, a professional football player watched and revered by many young American men in particular, promoted getting the updated booster shot and flu vaccine in the same visit.
00:16:40.000The Washington Post, NBC and the New York Times should have held the Biden administration's feet to the fire for promoting experimental vaccines in all Americans, irrespective of risk and continued revelations regarding concerning side effects.
00:16:54.000The last standing bulwark against government propaganda and censorship is crumbling before our eyes, losing relevance by the month.
00:17:02.000Perhaps a solution for media institutions to earn back credibility is to critically cover federal agencies misinforming the public rather than take funds to promote their agendas.
00:17:11.000We have no reliable legacy, state or corporate media anymore.
00:17:16.000The only media that will question the type of narratives that benefit the establishment elite are independent media outlets.
00:17:23.000And I can tell you from personal experience, you will eventually be subject to attacks.
00:17:27.000They will find something, metastasize it, alter it.
00:17:32.000This is a time that is, as this article says, unprecedented.
00:17:45.000It used to be the function of the media to hold the powerful to account.
00:17:49.000Now they work in absolute integration with one another.
00:17:52.000With new legislation being passed around the world to censor true information, to shut down hate speech, To grant the police in Ireland the ability to invade your home.
00:18:01.000To shut down speech in the UK, Canada, coming soon to the USA, across the EU.
00:18:07.000It is vital that a resistance movement form.
00:18:10.000That we individually and collectively find ways to overcome our cynicism and scepticism about culturally different groups and bind together against centralised authority.
00:18:27.000Are they always promoting regulation that grants them the ability to shut down your freedom while never really affecting the ability of the globalist corporatist establishment to maraud around the planet and profiteering under the auspices of safety and security usually veiled by the edicts of The WHO?
00:18:45.000Look at their treaty coming soon that will mean that their laws will apply in your nation.
00:18:52.000I think it is an important time in world history and I think every single one of us needs to be actively engaged in opposing these measures wherever we can.
