A recent report by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce has revealed that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) allocated $911 million in taxpayer funds for a COVID-19 vaccination promotion campaign. The report claims that this campaign 'consistently overstated' the risk of the virus to children and included misleading information regarding masking, vaccines, and boosters. The findings have raised concerns about public trust in the health system, as noted by several lawmakers, including Representative Rich Hudson, who criticized the Biden-Harris administration for the alleged misinformation. The report calls for improved transparency and accountability within health agencies.
