When Pfizer, Moderna, AND the CDC all share the same Public Relations firm

Well this was an interesting find.  New York-based firm Weber Shandwick has been responsible for elevating Pfizer's profile since at least 2006. It partnered with Moderna in June this year, after the small biotech firm became a household name following its vaccine success.  Yet questions are being raised about a possible conflict of interest as information emerged that the company was hired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the pandemic to boost its 'health communication'.

It was involved in PR campaigns that encouraged Americans to get vaccinated against Covid. 

So the same PR firm that advertises and represents both of the covid vaccines is also on retainer with the CDC to communicate health decisions during the pandemic?  Well shucks.  That doesn’t smell like a monopoly, sham, or fraud at all.  How can the CDC be a neutral party interested in protecting American’s if their PR promotion is done by the same companies hired to do PR for Pfizer and Moderna?!?!  Why does the CDC need a PR firm?  They are supposed to be a governmental agency, so why don’t they do their own inside PR?  Why outsource that?  And why did they agree to the SAME PR FIRM as the covid vaccines?  Did they or any of us expect that the public narrative would be honest and above board when the government is using the same PR firm as to pharmaceutical companies?  Did the government PAY for the PR for the vaccine firms?

Weber Shandwick works for the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD).

The potential conflict of interest was brought to attention in a LinkedIn post by an employee of the PR firm last year. 

They wrote on the social media site: 'So excited to be starting a new role today! I'm joining Weber Shandwick as an Account Director supporting a contract I know well, at the CDC's NCIRD!

In 2020 Weber Shandwick also won an up to $50million contract from the US Government to promote flu vaccines to the public.

Its responsibilities included distributing social media posts and articles promoting vaccines, and sending press releases to the media.

It was also involved in 'paid media placement', a common euphemism for advertising. 

The firm was employed by Moderna in June this year alongside two other PR firms to promote its mRNA vaccine - despite being a direct rival to Pfizer.

Weber Shandwick is also a long-time client of Pfizer's, having been brought on back in 2003 to assist with marketing around Viagra pills and other treatments.

Out of the thousands of PR firms across the country, it would be nearly impossible for this to be a coincidence.  It was part of the mass vaccination propaganda that we were blasted with daily.
