A federal health agency halted a public-service coronavirus advertising campaign funded by $250 million in taxpayer money after it offered a special vaccine deal to an unusual set of essential workers: Santa Claus performers.
As part of the plan, a top Trump administration official wanted the Santa 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. Those who perform as Mrs. Claus and elves also would have been included.
The Department of Health and Human Services said Friday the Santa plan would be scrapped. The deal was the brainchild of the official, Michael Caputo, an HHS assistant secretary, who took a 60-day medical leave last month. The rest of the campaign now is under an HHS review.

This was either Trump himself but probably Kushner
Really scary, I want to know why they were pushing for something like this. Why do they not care about the kids or their families getting sick in school but they want them to get the vaccine so badly that they'll manipulate them? Just to get people back to work?

Oct 26, 2020Did I read this wrong? I thought all they said was they'll get Santa to encourage everyone to get the vaccine. Is it that manipulative?
