As doctors and health professionals race against Covid-19 vaccination skepticism, some Hollywood producers, writers and showrunners are betting that inputting vaccines into television storylines can help curb widespread misinformation.
Shows across TV networks began integrating Covid-19 into scripts, including questions about social distancing and masking, as the pandemic spread across the U.S. last March. Now, as vaccination efforts ramp up nationwide, shows like “This Is Us” — which featured a recurring character receive two doses of a vaccine in an episode last month — are integrating vaccines into episodes and audiences can expect to see more vaccination plot points, says Kate Folb, director of the Hollywood, Health and Society program at the University of Southern California.

It’s not fear and misinformation they have an issue with, it’s the science and studies that show these vaccines are much, much less safe than the rest of the vaccines.
Taxpayers are probably funding this.
Obama spent taxpayer money to insert Obamacare propaganda i to tv programs a decade ago.
GMTA.
The word “propaganda” is what came to my mind as well.
The jokes write themselves.
So the “entertainment” media is going to present fake narratives- just like the “news” media does.
We’re in a good spot with the elderly protected- so “news” media screams about the rise in the infected young. Who were a low priority for testing before.
We don’t watch anything that mentions the farce taking place OR watch anything, or shop any place that advertises showing masks. Masks are not normal. I watch “entertainment” to get away from “the mask and faux illness” I do not want to view them while relaxing in my home! Local news and advertising are just a joke showing masked people and politicians. I do not want the non-vaccine and especially if I see it included in my entertainment.
Imagine if you were offered a contraceptive vaccine and the doctor tells you that you still shouldn’t be promiscuous, but if you are, you still need to wear a condom and you still might get pregnant.
I lay this messaging issue at Fauci’s feet. His messaging suggests we can eliminate the risk of COVID if we lock ourselves in a room and never leave. It’s just not true. This virus is in the wind. IMO, COVID-19 and variants are now part of life. To live, we can only mitigate the risks as best we can and live on..or not. Same as any other risk we face on this rock hurtling through space.
My true thoughts on this weak little man cannot be fully expressed in the forum.
Not saying popular dramas aren’t effective in conditioning the people, but when I was a kid I watched a movie and then went home and ate some daisies.
