Report: CDC Paid NFL Alumni Assoc. $3.5 Million to Promote Covid Vaccine
Breitbart ^ | 31 Jul 2021 | DYLAN GWINN

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) paid the NFL Alumni Association $3.5 million to promote the coronavirus vaccine, according to a report from TMZ.

According to U.S. Federal Procurement documents obtained by TMZ, the CDC, and the NFL Alumni Association entered into the agreement in May.

“The [CDC] intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to The NFL Alumni Association (NFLA),” the document states, according to TMZ Sports. “The overall purpose of this contract is to facilitate collaboration among NFL Alumni and federal state and local public health officials as well as other local leaders to address vaccine hesitancy through communication and engagement with communities less likely to get vaccinated. . . . The CDC Vaccine Task Force will work directly with the NFLA to promote community-level and national COVID-19 education outreach and vaccination acceptance.”

The intent of the program is to use the popularity of NFL legends connected to the Alumni Association, to influence fans to get vaccinated.

“The NFL Alumni’s website features pro-COVID-19 vax testimonials from former NFL stars like Franco Harris, Rod Woodson and Harry Carson, amongst others,” according to TMZ Sports.

“The site also has a ‘Vaccination Tracker’ and a link to access vax locations.”

Bad investment. (typical government money waste)

Only sheep pay attention to the NFL anymore, and most of them ran to get the injections as soon as possible.

It is NOT a vaccine, sorry. Words matter, truth is everything in a world where lies are endemic.

Brandon Smith: Why Are Globalists And Governments So Desperate For 100% Vaccination Rates?

Pull quote: “The stage is being set, in my view, for a mass infertility event, and covid will be blamed in place of the experimental vaccines. This is why the establishment needs a 100% vaccination rate; unvaccinated people would stand as evidence of their crime.”

Kinda parallels the United Way
Strongarm, which has been going
on for years.
Sports (except for NASCAR) are no
longer viewed in this household.
And even NASCAR is showing signs
of going woke.
Great American sports are or have
died a slow death.
