Judicial Watch Uncovers HHS Records Revealing a Propaganda Campaign to Push the COVID-19 Shot
Published October 5, 2022 at 11:30am
A massive media propaganda campaign to promote the COVID-19 vaccine was revealed in 249 pages of documents obtained through FOIA by Judicial Watch from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Tuesday.
In August 2021, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against HHS for failing to answer to an April 19, 2021 request for records relating to the Biden HHS’ “COVID-19 Community Corps” program.
The Corps, launched in April 2021, has nearly 17,000 members. It’s a program through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and CDC to disseminate science-based information to community organizations and Americans around the country to empower them to fight COVlD-19 and promote vaccinations.

“Judicial Watch is asking for all records regarding the application process; all organizations asking to be chosen to participate; all grants; and all communications of representatives of the Department of Health and Human Services regarding the program,” according to the company press release.
“These records show a disturbing and massive campaign by the Biden administration to propagandize and politicize the controversial COVID vaccine,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It seems as if the entire entertainment industry was an agent for the government!”
