This is the most disgusting propaganda idea I have heard yet.
Trump administration official Michael Caputo wanted Santa Claus performers to promote the "benefits" of a Covid-19 vaccination and, in exchange, offered them early vaccine access ahead of the general public, according to audio recordings, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Joseph Goebbels would be jealous.
The Journal notes:
The idea had buy-in from top White House advisers. In a coronavirus task force meeting during the summer, senior Trump adviser Jared Kushner discussed how officials would get influencers to do public-service announcements encouraging people to wear masks and social distance, according to the former White House official, who was in attendance.
Apparently, because of inquiries, The Department of Health and Human Services said Friday the Santa plan would be scrapped.
The Santa “collaboration will not be happening,” and HHS Secretary Alex Azar had no knowledge of Mr. Caputo’s outreach discussions, an HHS spokesman said
-RW.
