An army of Big Biotech companies is using psych tactics to ‘create vaccine demand’

A new ‘Vaccination Demand Observatory’ is using surveillance, bots, and ‘behavior change’ mass marketing schemes to press reluctant people into getting the shots

(LifeSite) The U.S. is awash in a surplus of coronavirus vaccines as there has been a sudden in drop in demand for them; most Americans who want the shots have had them. Now an army of Big Biotech’s agencies set up to address “vaccine hesitancy” are turning up their mass marketing to “create demand” using surveillance, rapid data analysis, media control, and host of behavior control strategies they’ve outlined in their playbooks.

Demand plummets

About 40% of the total adult population has been fully vaccinated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Uptake plummeted 25% after a peak in mid-April, and 56.4% of adults have had at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

But five million people – about eight per cent of those who took a first dose of the shot – failed to show up for their second dose appointments, according to the CDC.

As a result, excess vaccine stock has been piling up across the country. Chairs sat empty at a Philadelphia mass vaccination site where 4,000 unused doses of vaccines were due to expire. A million doses, representing one out of every four sent to Louisiana by the federal government, were sitting on shelves. One Wyoming county asked the state to stop shipping vaccines because it had a surplus of 20,000 shots; North Carolina closed its vaccination clinics for lack of demand.

“For the first time ever, we’ve had appointments at many vaccination sites that have not been filled,” said Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer during a news briefing last Thursday.

“There [are] a lot of people around here who … I don’t think they want to take the vaccine,” chuckled Ralph Merrill, an engineer who sits on an Alabama county board.

Vaccine vs. virus fear

Numerous mainstream media fretted about “vaccine hesitancy,” blaming it on COVID-19 denialism, “conspiracy theories,” and QAnon followers, Trump supporters, and minority mistrust of the government with its brutal history of racist eugenics. No one mentioned that some people just don’t think the vaccine works. The mainstream media simply ignored Yale Professor of Epidemiology Harvey Risch, for example, who revealed that the majority of people now coming down with COVID-19 have been vaccinated against the virus.

Nor did they mention the leading reason for vaccine refusal cited by 45% of those in a March poll conducted by the Delphi Group for Facebook researchers, which is fear of side-effects, however. With reported adverse events at 118,746 total in the U.S. alone, including 3,410 deaths and 1,595 permanent disabilities, it is a legitimate deterrent. So is the abrupt halt of AstraZeneca’s vaccine for its high rate of blood clots, and the pause of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine.

Lindsey Graham: Republicans Cannot ‘Move Forward Without President Trump’

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday suggested that GOP is still the party of former President Donald Trump.

It comes as House Republicans are moving to remove No. 3 Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) after her critical comments about the former president.

“I would just say to my Republican colleagues, can we move forward without President Trump? The answer is no,” Graham told Fox News. “I’ve always liked Liz Cheney, but she’s made a determination that the Republican Party can’t grow with President Trump. I’ve determined we can’t grow without him.”

Ivy League Experts Find White House Estimate on Spending Plan Cost Is Laughably Low

One of President Joe Biden’s biggest promises lately is laughably low — but there’s nothing funny about it.

When Biden took the national stage last week for his first address to Congress, a key part of the speech was the “American Families Plan,” a $1.8 trillion monstrosity of government overreach and intervention aimed at increasing American dependence on the government.

But, according to a study released Wednesday, the price Biden quoted was ridiculously off base. And it’s a rock-solid bet it’s going to get worse.

According to the study released by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, the price of Biden’s boondoggle over the next 10 years would be in the ballpark of $2.5 trillion — a $700 billion overrun from the initial estimate.

In the Biden era of big-government giveaways, where Democrats and the mainstream media talk about trillion-dollar projects with the easy complacency of the people who will never have to pay the bills, it’s easy to lose track of the figures, but even in 2021, $700 billion is a serious amount of money.

Trevor Noah: ‘Why Are People Who Get the Vaccine Still Being Made to Wear Masks?’

Leftist comedian didn’t get the “new normal” memo.

Comedian Trevor Noah raged against health authorities in the U.S. insisting that people who have received the vaccine will still be subject to COVID-19 restrictions, arguing this will discourage others from getting the jab.

The CDC recently released new guidelines outlining how even those who get the vaccine should still wear masks and practice social distancing in a number of situations. 

“The really frustrating thing…is that they’ve spent months, they’ve spent 5 months telling us to get vaccinated – ‘oh get vaccinated and this will all be over’ – and I was like great, I’ll get all four vaccines if it means I’ll get my life back,” said Noah.

LifeSiteNews Has Been Permanently Banned From Another Social Media Platform

Facebook has permanently disabled the page of LifeSiteNews, a media outlet that has an emphasis on pro-life and Christian content. The reason Facebook gave for banning LifeSite was that the outlet was spreading misinformation about COVID-19.

“Much like when LifeSite was removed from YouTube, this comes with little surprise,” said Rebekah Roberts, marketing director for LifeSiteNews, which describes itself as “a non-profit Internet service dedicated to issues of culture, life, and family.” Roberts continued:

Biological male weightlifter who identifies as female and competes against women poised to become first transgender Olympian

Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard — a biological male who identifies as female and has competed against women for several years — is poised to become the first-ever transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Games, Inside the Games reported.

The outlet said the New Zealander has been “effectively guaranteed a place at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games after the approval of an amended qualifying system by the International Olympic Committee.”

Since so many Olympic-qualifying competitions had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IOC devised a new system reducing the number of competition performances needed for qualification, Inside the Games said.

‘External Devices’ With Up-to-Date Vote Totals Were Taken Offsite

More corrupt and suspicious acts performed by the  Maricopa County election team and/or vendor have come to light.  Dr. Kelli Ward says that devices that held data during the election in Maricopa County were snuck offsite nightly.

Per Republican Chairwoman Kelli Ward, Maricopa County Director of Election Day And Emergency Voting, Scott Jarrett, said that the orange devices in the picture above were external drives that were loaded nightly with early vote totals and taken offsite to an undisclosed location for safety by an employer or a Dominion contractor working for Maricopa County.

Scott Jarrett claims on his LinkedIn profile to have been an auditor before stepping into his current role in Maricopa County.  He also claims to have a CIA designation which stands for Certified Internal Auditor.

Having the CIA, Jarrett would surely see that it was not alright moving any devices like the ones identified in the picture above from an onsite location.  Also, the entire fact that these devices were included in an election is also suspect.

Who handled these ‘external drives’, what was on them and where did they go?  These questions should never even have to be asked in a well-designed and operating environment.  Dr. Ward and Arizona have a right to be concerned about this design failure.

Tucker Carlson: How Many Americans Have Died After Taking COVID Vaccines?

Fox News commentator, Tucker Carlson, cited government statistics showing more Americans have died after getting the COVID vaccine in four months than from all other vaccines combined in more than a decade and a half.

Fox News commentator, Tucker Carlson, frequently reminds viewers that overall, he thinks vaccines are a good thing — but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have questions about COVID vaccines.

In fact, he has a lot of questions. And, he said, he should have the right to ask them.

In the segment below on last night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carlson said the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) shows 3,362 Americans —  or 30 people a day — died from the COVID vaccine between December 2020 and last month.

“More people, according to VAERS, have died after getting the shot in four months during a single vaccination campaign than from all other vaccines combined over more than a decade and a half,” said Carlson.

The number of deaths is likely much higher than what VAERS is reporting, Carlson  said, citing reports submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services in 2010 that found “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported by the VAERS system.”

Carlson also mentioned in his segment:

  • Of all of the MENVEO vaccines given to prevent bacterial meningitis, only one person died from the vaccine between 2010 and  2015.
  • In 1976, 45 million Americans were vaccinated for H1N1. A total of 53 people died from the vaccine. The U.S. government halted the vaccination program because authorities decided it was too risky.
  • COVID vaccines have contributed to 8,000 hospitalizations in the U.S., according to VAERS.

Poll: One of Four Americans Say It Is ‘Safe’ for Them to Go Out in Public Without a Mask

One of four Americans believe it is safe for them to personally go out in public without wearing a mask, an Economist/YouGov survey released this week showed.

Respondents were asked, “When do you think it will be safe for YOU to go out in public without a mask on?”

Twenty-six percent, said it is “safe right now.” Another six percent said it will be safe by spring of 2021, 13 percent said summer of 2021, and 16 percent said the end of 2021. Nineteen percent said 2022 or later, and another nineteen percent said they were not sure.

The survey also asked respondents how often they have worn a mask in the last seven days when outside of their home. A plurality, 49 percent, said “always,” followed by 21 percent who said “most of the time,” 19 percent who said “some of the time,” and 12 percent who said “never.”

Iran Blows Up ‘US Capitol’ in Disturbing New Propaganda Video (Watch)

Iranian state-controlled media on Sunday reportedly released a propaganda video showing an Iranian attack destroying the U.S. Capitol building and Iran conquering Jerusalem, Israel’s capital.

The Washington Free Beacon first reported news of the video.

A 12-second clip of the video opens with footage of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps marching before cutting to a video of a missile being launched.

It then transitions into a fake video showing the U.S. Capitol building burning and crumbling before finally cutting to footage of Iranian troops standing on the hills overlooking Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
