EXC: Taxpayer Funds Used To Test Persuasion Tactics To Sell More COVID Vaccines
NatalieGWinters.substack ^ | 9/8/2025 | Natalie Winters

A new taxpayer-funded study shows just how far the medical establishment will go to make sure Americans fall in line with the COVID vaccine agenda.

Titled “Different Vaccination Debunking Interventions,” the newly published paper isn’t about developing safer vaccines, studying side effects, or investigating long-term risks.

Instead, researchers (with significant conflicts of interest with big pharma) wanted to learn how to convince skeptical Americans to get several COVID-19 shots.

The University of Pennsylvania researchers earned praise from the media for uncovering the “best ways to debunk COVID vaccine misinformation,” particularly among the vaccine hesitant.

There’s a clear conflict of interest here, however.

Penn Medicine describes itself as “home to the breakthrough messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology that enabled the highly successful COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech.”

As proof they’re interested in profit, Penn Medicine is currently engaged in nasty litigation with BioNTech over hundreds of millions of dollars worth of COVID-19 vaccine royalties.

Dig deeper and the funding trail raises even more red flags.

The paper openly acknowledges support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) — a federal agency that runs on taxpayer money.

Even more troubling, the research came out of the Penn Institute for RNA Innovation. This institute is primarily funded by the National Science Foundation, another taxpayer-funded body. And the Penn RNA institute isn’t some neutral player: it is a leading cheerleader for experimental mRNA platforms — the very technology behind the controversial COVID vaccines.

Lead author of the study, Jessica Fishman, emphasized how this research is critical to increase vaccine uptake: “part of ensuring broader distribution of vaccines is having a proven way to deliver factual information about them."

Conflicts of interest(s) aside, the research itself smears valid concerns over the COVID-19 vaccine as “misinformation” and “myths.”

As the background section begins, “misinformation about vaccines can hinder efforts to increase immunization rates.” One of the “myths” tested in the study, for example, was that “the COVID-19 vaccine causes infertility.”

890 adults with vaccination safety concerns were exposed to one of the three types of myth-busting strategies and then completed a questionnaire to gauge their intent to receive the vaccine or booster.

“People hesitant about getting a COVID vaccine were more likely to consider getting the shot after hearing a myth explained and corrected with facts,” concluded the study.

This study is just one example of a broader campaign: rebranding skepticism as “misinformation” and treating dissent not as debate, but as a psychological obstacle to be managed.

Instead of answering critics with transparency, taxpayer-funded research is being poured into behavioral science experiments that boil down to persuasion and compliance.

The medical establishment isn’t studying the vaccine.

They’re studying you.

In both Red and Blue States, both R and D federal goverments funds are used both directly, and as grants to others, to push the agenda desired by some bureaucrat.

From traffic saftey to gun safety to health to education to tourism government bureaucrats love to push their agenda.

My left arm had to be monkeyed with as a result of the initial three innoculations My left arm vein on the inside off the arm vein has become as solid as a Faber castell #2pencil, thereby after 2 other miicrosurgeeries, a big stent was installed. That other closed vein was deemed inoperable because if dislodged, would go to my heart.

I wouldn’t take that vaccine if they offered me $1,000,000.

How about instead of propaganda they spend money on double blind studies and long term tracking of vaccine victims like should have been done before this was released. Nope, we’ll just harangue those who believe in real science instead.

can they debunk the fact that two of my neighbors had crushing chest pains after the 2nd jab, and the one who is my next door neighbor had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and admitted to the hospital as an inpatient?

That sounds horrible to have to live with.

Could they not just take that section out and replace it with a vein from elsewhere?

My cousin died days after getting his first COVID shot.

He was in the hospital within a day of getting the vaccine.

After all the DOGE stuff it’s just astounding to me how much $$ there is still floating around out there to end up funding such a study nearly a year into this administration

The messaging didn’t work on me. I’m immune to left wing propaganda. Big pharma needs to pay for the turbo cancers and heart attacks caused by their poison.

“I am vaccine hostile.”


Same page. I also object to use of the label ‘vaccine skeptic’.

Good post.

One book that is solid (warning: raises a lot of other “hot topics” that will trigger many folks around here):

https://www.amazon.com/Books-John-Hamer/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3AJohn%2BHamer

Short version: Some very evil people have hijacked science.

We need to rescue it.

(The indoctrination runs deep. Our enemies control education starting as early as pre school and kindergarten. That is why the masses believe so much stuff that is demonstrably false.)
