    The World Health Organization Hired a PR Firm for COVID - Dr Mercola

    The same PR firm the tobacco industry used in 1950 to carry on a 50-year successful strategy to have the public believe cigarettes were not addictive and didn't cause disease has recently been hired to seek out these influencers to further their COVID-19 agenda.

    STORY AT-A-GLANCE

    • "Soft power" is a term that refers to stealth influencing using celebrities and other social media influencers
    • In May 2020, celebrities and social media influencers agreed to "pass the mic" by allowing the World Health Organization and other pandemic response leaders to use their social media accounts to share their messages
    • The WHO paid PR firm Hill and Knowlton Strategies $135,000 to seek out influencers to help build trust in the WHO's coronavirus recommendations
    • As noted by Corbett, Hill and Knowlton Strategies was also the PR company responsible for crafting a powerful enough campaign to get Americans to rally together in support of the war against Iraq
    • Hill and Knowlton is also the very same PR firm that the tobacco industry used in 1950 to carry on a 50-year successful strategy to have the public believe that cigarettes were not addictive and did not cause cancer

    While the United States halted funding to the World Health Organization mid-April 2020,1 and terminated its relationship altogether at the end of May,2 the WHO is still seeking to influence Americans about pandemic responses to COVID-19.

    In the Corbett Report3 above, investigative journalist James Corbett discusses Event 201, a pandemic tabletop exercise to illustrate preparedness hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in October 2019.

    At the time, they discussed ways to limit and counter the spread of expected "misinformation" about the pandemic. In addition to outright censorship, this also included the use of "soft power."

    Soft Power Plays for Hard-to-Swallow Dictates

    Soft power is a term that refers to stealth influencing using celebrities and other social media influencers. Corbett presents the case of Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, who both reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 early on in the pandemic.

    They dutifully "modeled" the desired behavior to get tested, self-quarantine and submit to continued observation for as long as necessary to ensure they didn't spread it to anyone else. That's one example of soft power.

    Celebrities also put on a virtual "One World Together at Home" benefit concert to raise money for the WHO and rally the citizens of the world around the idea that we can get through this if we all just follow instructions and stay home.

    In May, celebrities and social media influencers agreed to "pass the mic" by allowing the WHO and other pandemic response leaders, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, to use their social media accounts to share their messages.

    If you thought all of these things occurred more or less organically, you'd be wrong...
