I will be sending this campaign out once every week. I HAVE ADDED A NEW PIECE OF LEGISLATION OF INTEREST AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POSTING
As of 09-21-22 we have only have 654 Subscribers. Our goal is 10,000. Please help us get people to subscribe so we can go to Congress and show them proof that the American people want the US to leave the UN. Share on social media, share with friends, neighbors, relatives. The actions listed are easy and doable if you wish take part in them. I have added a second click of the link email that will go out to all US Republican House Reps and Republican US Senators. If we do not meet the goal of 10,000 by by November 9th I might have to abandon the campaign. There are many campaigns on Substack for far less important issues with far more subscribers so we can do it. We just have to spread the word.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
We are creating a global effort to defund and withdraw from the United Nations (UN) and all affiliate organizations including the World Health Organization. This group will work to implement this movement in the United States.
In order for the United States to accomplish this we need Congress to submit legislation and we need a committed grass roots movement willing to fight over the long haul to get it passed. In the US, at this present time, we are very fortunate to have legislation to remove the US from the UN and all affiliate agencies which would include the WHO. H.R. 7806 is that legislation. There is also legislation to defund the WHO but understand to defund does not withdraw us from the WHO. So to defund does not take it far enough. I believe our focus at this point should be on H.R.7806 but I am providing information on H.R. 419 as well.
The WHO, as we speak, is working on the dreaded Pandemic Treaty (renamed the Convention, Agreement or other International Instrument - CAII) that when passed the WHO will be the driving organization for the UN and the WEF in accomplishing their goal of global dominance. The UN and the WEF are now partners and this makes the UN even more of a threat. If the CAII is passed and the WHO decides to declare a PHEIC (Public Health Emergency of International Concern) because the leaves are falling they can do so without our permission or discussion. Our government over many decades has given way too much power over our country to the UN and its many affiliates. It is time we put an end to it. The UN always was and still is a political and social enemy. They have no concern for humanity or for the sovereignty of the member states.
I have attached information that I would like you to review and needed action steps. I have been in contact with groups, show hosts and journalists to enlist support for this initiative. So far the response has been very positive. If you are the founder or member of a group please feel free to share this initiative and invite group members to join and take action.
H.R. 7806 - American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2022 (Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL-4) - this link will give you all the information on the bill (text, co-sponsors, actions etc.) This is the legislation to withdraw from the UN. This bill will need to be resubmitted in January and will be assigned a new bill number - I have already contacted Rep. Rogers office regarding this issue and was told that Representative Rogers has every intention on resubmitting this legislation during the new Congress in January 2023.
I have created a bullet point guide to H.R. 7806 - GUIDE
HERE is a link to help you locate your US Representative
If your Representative (there are only 4+sponsor) is already a sponsor/co-sponsor on H.R. 7806 please call him/her and thank him/her for their support. If so inclined anyone can call and send a THANKS. Let the sponsor/co-sponsor know we are organizing to help move the bill forward. Provide a comment on this Substack if you placed a call. Be sure to let us know what legislator’s office you contacted and any feedback you received.
I truly believe the only way to really start taking back our country is to get out of the UN and all affiliate organizations. Do you agree? Are you willing to take action?
Questions can be entered in COMMENTS or email me directly at: karen.bracken@reagan.com (NOTE: All COMMENTS come directly to my email)
The November election will play a huge role in whether we get these bills passed. So be sure to get out and vote and do all you can to insure fair elections and voter participation. If at all possible do not use a mail-in ballot and vote on election day. Don’t let the talk of voter/election fraud keep you home on election day.
Thank you,
Karen Bracken and James Roguski

Below please find the suggested action items. It is our hope that you can participate in all of the suggested priority action items but the choice is yours. Right now we have 2 objectives:
1. build our numbers in order to illustrate this legislation is supported by Americans. So please help us build the number of FREE subscriptions.
2. get co-sponsors to sign-on to the legislation. The more co-sponsors a bill acquires the more likely it will move through the system.
BIG NUMBERS MAKE OUR ELECTED SIT UP AND PAY ATTENTION (this is a top priority action item)
So, help us grow our numbers. Ask friends, neighbors, group members, church members, relatives to sign up and help us build the number of supporters. Whenever I met with legislators as a member or founder of a group they always asked 2 questions right off the bat. 1. “do you have a business card?” 2. “how many members does this group have?” Big numbers have a powerful impact.
AUTOMATIC EMAIL LETTERS (this is a top priority action item)
Utilize the 2 links provided below to send an already created email to your US Representative and US Senators. If your Representative is already a co-sponsor on H.R.7806 just insert a little note of thanks to your Representative at the bottom of the letter. If your Representative is NOT yet a co-sponsor please add your own note to the letter asking them to become a co-sponsor. It takes just a few seconds to process
LINK FOR LETTER - HR7806 (provided by The John Birch Society)
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) is the sponsor of HR7806
Co-Sponsors: Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-1); Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY-4); Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ-4); Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX-13)
LINK FOR FOR EMAIL TO ALL REPUBLICAN REPS AND SENATORS - This email campaign was created by me.
ASK THE CANDIDATES (this is a top priority action item)
If you attend candidate forums stand up and ask them right out if they would be willing to support HR7806 The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2022 and will they sign their name as a co-sponsor.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE (this is a top priority action item)
If your Representative is not a sponsor/co-sponsor on H.R. 7806 place a call to their DC office. 1. Ask for the email address of the Staffer that handles Foreign Affairs legislation for your Representative and then 2. ask to speak to the Staffer that handles Foreign Affairs legislation. They may not be available so request a call back. If you do not get a call back keep on trying. This is the person that will assist in getting your Representative to sign on as a co-sponsor. You can use the script provided when speaking to the Foreign Affairs Staffer to request that your Representative co-sponsor H.R. 7806.
Utilize the link below to find your US Representative. Click on your Representatives name to get the direct number to their office OR you can call the main switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask to be connected to your Representatives office.
Follow up is important. If you are promised a call back and do not get a call keep calling until to get to speak with the Staffer for your Representative’s Foreign Affairs legislation. Then keep monitoring the legislation to see if your Rep’s name shows up. If not, call them back and get confirmation that your Representative will or will not co-sponsor..
HERE is a link to help you locate your US Representative
SCRIPT FOR CALL/TALKING POINTS (takes a few minutes to download) This script is only “suggested” feel free to use your own script but please keep it polite.
FACE TO FACE MEETING (this could be a good ice breaker and a way to establish a relationship for the future when meeting face to face will become more important)
If your Rep is not one of the sponsor/co-sponsors: call the local office and ask to meet with your Representative or their Field Director (chances are it will be the Field Director). Take a copy of the letter below with you. The objective is to get the Representative to sign on to H.R. 7806 as a co-sponsor. If you are talking with the Field Director ask them to forward the letter to your Representative and let them know you will be calling for an update on the Representative’s position on co-sponsoring H.R. 7806. Within a week after your meeting place a follow-up call to the local office. LETTER
Simply defunding the WHO is not enough. We must get out of the UN and all of the UN affiliate agencies which includes the WHO. It must be done with legislation so it cannot be easily changed. An EO only allows the next President to reverse the EO as we saw very blatantly with the transition from Trump to Biden.
We will not be alone. This movement is picking up global momentum. I believe if we can stir up some heat over H.R.7806 in the US it will encourage other countries to step up as well. I also know, for a fact, there are other countries organizing and just waiting to follow the lead of the US.
I am providing information about the UN and why we need to withdraw from the UN. WEBSITE
The John Birch Society has been at the forefront of the battle to get the US out of the UN for decades. I am taking advantage of the resources they have provided (with their permission) to help in our battle to get H.R. 7806 passed. Why re-invent the wheel, right? If you are not yet a member of JBS or do not subscribe to the New American magazine please consider doing so. THANKS

Judge: FBI Protected Mom who Made $200 million Selling up to 8000 Children over 40 years – Gets Only 3 Months in Minimum Security Prison

Editor, Health Impact News
Margaret Cole Hughes, Director of European Adoption Consultants (EAC), earlier this year accepted a plea deal from the U.S. Department of Justice to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of making a false statement to the Polish Central authority in front of Federal Court Judge James Gwin in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Ohio. (Source.)
Defense attorneys admitted in court filings that Cole is still in business after making $200 million over 40 years from selling 8000 children through fraudulent international adoptions. According to Judge James Gwin, the FBI protected Cole’s child trafficking network for 40 years and failed to investigate her. Instead, it was the State Department that investigated Cole. (Source.)
Cole’s stepson, Robert E. Hughes III, still works for the FBI. He was assigned to investigate her case by Andy McCabe, who at the time, was Acting Director of the FBI. (Source.)
Defense attorneys said the evidence against their client would have filled the Library of Congress.
Cole is wanted for child trafficking fraud in Poland. (Source.)
Margaret Cole Hughes, 75, began her three-month prison sentence in Alderson Federal Prison as a result of her plea deal. It is located in the resort area of Greenbriar, W. Virginia. (Source.)
FBI Declassifies Files on the CIA’s Involvement in Satanic Ritual Abuse and Child Sex Trafficking
Children’s Mercy Hospital in Missouri Medically Kidnaps 10-Year-Old Girl because Parents Wanted a Second Opinion

Editor, Health Impact News
Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, has struck again, allegedly kidnapping a 10-year-old girl from her parents simply because the parents questioned her treatment and use of a questionable drug that allegedly caused their daughter’s brain to swell (encephalitis). The parents reportedly did not refuse treatment or go against the doctor’s advice, but simply wanted to take their daughter to a different hospital to get a second opinion.
The doctor refused, had security guards intervene to stop them from taking their daughter home, and now the State of Missouri has taken custody of the child giving them full legal liability-free rights to experiment on her with whatever drugs they want, without getting the parents’ permission.
Over the years we have covered multiple stories of medical kidnapping involving Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City which has now apparently become so routine, that a Missouri State Senator has introduced a new bill to stop the hospital from kidnapping people’s children.
Here are a couple of our previous stories about Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City:
Hannah and Jaxon Adams. Jaxon was medically kidnapped at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City when his parents asked for a second opinion, and Hannah was also later taken away from her parents by CPS. Full story thread here.
Brianne and baby Serenity in the NICU at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. Serenity was born prematurely with health conditions, and when the parents wanted to transfer her to a different hospital, the newborn was medically kidnapped and never went home with her parents. Full story.
Earlier this year (2022), Missouri State Senator Mike Cierpiot introduced a bill to protect families from having their children “abducted by Children’s Mercy Hospital.” The Missouri Times covered the story here.
Excerpt:
For Cierpiot, the matter is personal. From the floor, he discussed his own family’s struggle with a Children’s Division that he said gave far too much power to hospitals, such as Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, over the fate of Missouri families.
He recounted how after a day of shopping last year, a new mother took her baby out for the first time. While adjusting the car seat straps the newborn developed a bruise on its side, and the parents likely overreacted by taking the child to the hospital “just to be safe.”
It was then that Children’s Mercy got a SAFE-CARE provider involved. After viewing some photographs of the child’s bruise, a doctor diagnosed that she “suspected signs of child abuse.”
After two days of bringing both of their children in for X-rays and exams, doctors only found the one bruise on the one child and no abuse on the other child. The next day, child welfare services showed up with law enforcement officials to take the newborn from his mother’s arms. (Full story.)
Here is a 9-minute video of his explanation of the bill given in the Senate Committee, where he relates how the abuses of Children’s Mercy Hospital have affected his own family members where a 3-week-old infant was medically kidnapped and taken away from the parents for 3 months, and how when he contacted several local attorneys, they stated that they have created a phrase about Children’s Mercy Hospital:
The term is “abducted by Children’s Mercy Hospital.”
Imagine that. It’s a real thing. “Abducted by Children’s Mercy Hospital.”
This most recent medical kidnapping is covered by Rebel News, who interviewed the mother who then contacted us, so we thank Rebel News for taking interest in this story which we are republishing here.
If you live in Missouri, please contact your State Representative and ask them to support Senator Mike Cierpiot’s bill SB 1216. Apparently the legislative sessions in Missouri run from January through May, and on 4/27/2022 it was heard by the S Seniors, Families, Veterans & Military Affairs Committee. (Source.)
SAVE EVELYN: Little girl taken by controversial hospital
Evelyn Young was medically kidnapped by Children’s Mercy, a prestigious research hospital in Kansas City, after her loving parents demanded a second opinion.
by Jeremy Loffredo
Rebel News
A research hospital has been medically kidnapping children for years. Children’s Mercy Hospital’s most recent kidnapping happened just a couple of weeks ago when the Young family brought their 10-year-old daughter Evelyn to the doctor for medical advice and support.
Instead of giving what Evelyn’s parents considered appropriate medical care, the hospital gave her medication that allegedly turned Evelyn’s mild health condition into a severe issue. After this treatment, Evelyn’s brain began to swell, causing her to temporarily lose consciousness and her eye sight.
Her parents were understandably upset and angry at the hospital, and explained they wanted to take their daughter to a different hospital. Instead of allowing the family to leave, the hospital used the parents’ anger and frustration as “proof” that they are unfit guardians.
Children’s Mercy called Child Protective Services, and just like that, Evelyn’s parents were no longer in control. As bizarre as this sounds, the hospital is known for tearing families apart. The hospital facilitates the taking of parental rights so often that a local legislator introduced a bill that would stop them from engaging in these anti-family practices.
“They’ve torn so many families apart. Just for being concerned about their children,” Jessica Young told me. “And I complied with everything they did to my daughter because I was aware of the leverage they held over my family… compliance wasn’t enough — I also had to believe in what they were doing.”
Watch my interview with Jessica Young, whose daughter was medically kidnapped by the hospital two weeks ago and stay tuned for interviews with other parents whose children have become kidnapping victims of the hospital in coordination with the government.

Suppressing Scientific Discourse on Vaccines? Self-perceptions of researchers and practitioners
HealthCare Ethics Committee Forum: An Interprofessional Journal on Healthcare Institutions' Ethical and Legal Issues
HEC Forum May, 2022
Abstract
The controversy over vaccines has recently intensified in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, with calls from politicians, health professionals, journalists, and citizens to take harsh measures against so-called “anti-vaxxers,” while accusing them of spreading “fake news” and as such, of endangering public health. However, the issue of suppression of vaccine dissenters has rarely been studied from the point of view of those who raise concerns about vaccine safety.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the subjective perceptions of professionals (physicians, nurses, researchers) involved with vaccines through practice and/or research and who take a critical view on vaccines, about what they perceive as the suppression of dissent in the field of vaccines, their response to it, and its potential implications on science and medicine.
Respondents reported being subjected to a variety of censorship and suppression tactics, including the retraction of papers pointing to vaccine safety problems, negative publicity, difficulty in obtaining research funding, calls for dismissal, summonses to official hearings, suspension of medical licenses, and self-censorship.
Respondents also reported on what has been termed a “backfire effect” – a counter-reaction that draws more attention to the opponents’ position.
Suppression of dissent impairs scientific discourse and research practice while creating the false impression of scientific consensus.
Findings
Study participants reported being subjected to a variety of tactics perceived by them as intended to suppress, silence, and censor them due to their critical and sometimes oppositional position on vaccines. The main suppression tactics as perceived and reported by these researchers and doctors include publication of defamatory statements against them, paper retractions, denial of research grants, calls for dismissal and in some cases, summonses to hearings, suspension of their medical license by the country’s Ministry of Health, and self-censorship (refraining from expressing critical opinions about vaccines for fear of the repercussions). Family doctors (GPs) and nurses also reported pressure from the Ministry of Health to vaccinate patients.
Reading this paper brought tears to my eyes. I and others are getting hammered from all sides in this fight - including a lot of clearly controlled opposition, who are being sponsored to “attack from within” via government, advertising $$$, clicks and media fame. There are also more and more false-flag psyop campaigns that are being pushed into social media. Alternative media is under attack by what appears to be “friendly” fire, but is probably an effort by government to interject doubt into groups that they disapprove of - such as those that questions the safety and efficacy of the mRNA vaccines. In any case, those of us on the front lines are under constant stress.
Examples of Outcome Reporting Bias in Vaccine Studies: Illustrating How Perpetuating Medical Consensus Can Impede Progress in Public Health
Cureus, Sept 21, 2022
Abstract
Introduction: Outcome reporting bias in vaccine studies is a widespread problem among all researchers who have a tendency to report selective results and conclusions that support their beliefs and values or those of sponsoring agencies. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, this bias surfaced through the unprecedented proliferation of conflicting vaccine studies. Many researchers strongly recommend and report on the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. Those researchers who embrace the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccines, in general, are often dismissive of other researchers who present views that differ from medical orthodoxy and oppose medical consensus.

A Cold Dark Winter Is Coming
In May I wrote an article called Cycles Of Turmoil which contained a chart outlining the likely future of the human race if we maintain the current trajectory. The Great Reset agenda appears to be alive and well so it’s time to update the chart.
The tiers in my chart are not mutually exclusive. Each one builds on the other.
I leave you with this thought. Few people understand that the Great Reset is a plan that was launched by King Charles III. Long live the King!
Did you know that a recent review showed there is "no strong evidence" that low serotonin levels cause depression? Now scientists are questioning the widespread usage of antidepressants.
Tens of thousands of people took part in a thorough assessment of previous systematic assessments and meta-studies of the relationship between depression and serotonin activity, undertaken by researchers from University College London.
"There is no clear evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity cause depression," according to a study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter essential for controlling various biological processes like mood, sleep, digestion, and others.
Since serotonin has long been thought to have a role in mood regulation, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which increase serotonin in the brain, have been widely used to treat depression.
Professor Joanna Moncrieff, the study’s lead author, said in a statement, “Many people take antidepressants because they have been led to believe their depression has a biochemical cause, but this new research suggests this belief is not grounded in evidence.”
Researchers claim that the review throws into question the justification for the use of antidepressants and shows that depression is most likely not brought on by a chemical imbalance.
It is also important to realize that it is impossible to establish whether using SSRI antidepressants is even safe.
It is my goal to help you become aware of alternative and healthier treatment choices.
That is why I am constantly seeking to share with you the latest content and information for optimizing your human experience in ALL dimensions—emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Feel free to share this information with the people you care about.

Another example of the development and deployment of psy-ops and nudge technology during the COVIDcrisis involves messaging designed to address “vaccine hesitancy”
Even though the testing of the vaccine products were highly abbreviated and did not meet regulatory norms for either vaccines or genetic therapies, the development and clinical testing of psy-ops and nudge messaging were carefully performed using a prospective randomized, controlled clinical trial structure with short term, three and six month follow up.
Please keep in mind, these “vaccines” are unlicensed medical products available under Emergency Use Authorization. This Yale study is designed to entice and force uptake and acceptance of an unlicensed medical product without full informed consent. This is explicitly prohibited by modern international agreements concerning medical ethics.
During July of 2020, Yale University initiated a clinical trial (#NCT04460703) to develop and optimize means to psychologically manipulate people to overcome “vaccine hesitancy” to the COVID genetic vaccines via message control and content. This interventional clinical trial, entitled “Persuasive Messages for COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake: a Randomized Controlled Trial, Part 1” enrolled 4000 human subjects aged 18 and older, and was designed to assess one primary and four secondary endpoints. Although the sources of funding for most clinical trials of this size and complexity are usually clearly stated, in the case of this study the funding sources have been carefully hidden behind a veil of academic research institutes which do not disclose their sources of funding, which is also highly unusual. The sources of support listed in the final publication summarizing study results are the Tobin Center for Economic Policy at Yale University, the Yale Institute for Global Health, and the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and the Center for the Study of American Politics at Yale University. None of which state their funding sources on the publicly available web pages.
This study tested different messages about vaccinating against COVID-19. Participants were randomized to 1 of 12 arms, with one control arm and one baseline arm. The study was designed to compare the reported willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine at 3 and 6 months of it becoming available between the 10 intervention arms to the 2 control arms.
The Primary outcome endpoint was self-reported intention to get COVID-19 vaccine immediately after the intervention message, and of the likelihood of getting a COVID-19 vaccination within 3 months and then 6 months of it becoming available.
Secondary Outcome Measures included:
Vaccine confidence scale using a validated scale to assess the impact of the messages on vaccine confidence.
Persuade others. This is a measure of a willingness to persuade others to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
Fear of those who have not been vaccinated. This is a measure of a comfort with an unvaccinated individual visiting an elderly friend after a vaccine becomes available.
Social judgment of those who do not vaccinate.
A group of different messages were tested to determine which would be the most effective for achieving primary and secondary outcomes. In other words, specific propaganda messaging was experimentally tested, conclusions drawn, and then these results were used to guide the subsequent federal US (and global) propaganda campaign to promote uptake of a poorly tested, unlicensed, experimental use authorized medical procedure and product.
The experimental messages which were tested included the following, each of which are familiar to all who were subjected to the subsequent propaganda campaign.
1) Personal freedom message: How COVID-19 is limiting people's personal freedom and by working together to get enough people vaccinated society can preserve its personal freedom. The specific message tested was as follows: “COVID-19 is limiting many people’s ability to live their lives as they see fit. People have had to cancel weddings, not attend funerals, and halt other activities that are important in their daily lives. On top of this, government policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 limit our freedom of association and movement. Remember, each person who gets vaccinated reduces the chance that we lose our freedoms or government lockdowns return. While you can’t do it alone, we can all keep our freedom by getting vaccinated.”
2) Economic freedom message: How COVID-19 is limiting peoples's economic freedom and by working together to get enough people vaccinated society can preserve its economic freedom. “COVID-19 is limiting many people’s ability to continue to work and provide for their families. People have lost their jobs, had their hours cut, and lost out on job opportunities because companies aren’t hiring. On top of this, government policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have stopped businesses from opening up. Remember, each person who gets vaccinated reduces the chance that we lose our freedoms or government lockdowns return. While you can’t do it alone, we can all keep our ability to work and earn a living by getting vaccinated.”
3) Self-interest message: COVID-19 presents a real danger to one's health, even if one is young and healthy. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from getting sick. “Stopping COVID-19 is important because it reduces the risk that you could get sick and die. COVID-19 kills people of all ages, and even for those who are young and healthy, there is a risk of death or long-term disability. Remember, getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the single best way to protect yourself from getting sick.”
4) Community interest message: A message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones. The more people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one's loved ones will get sick. Society must work together and all get vaccinated. “Stopping COVID-19 is important because it reduces the risk that members of your family and community could get sick and die. COVID-19 kills people of all ages, and even for those who are young and healthy, there is a risk of death or long-term disability. Remember, every person who gets vaccinated reduces the risk that people you care about get sick. While you can’t do it alone, we can all protect every-one by working together and getting vaccinated.”
5) Economic benefit message: A message about how COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the economy and the only way to strengthen the economy is to work together to get enough people vaccinated. “COVID-19 is limiting many people’s ability to continue to work and provide for their families. People have lost their jobs, had their hours cut, and lost out on job opportunities because companies aren’t hiring. On top of this, government policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have stopped businesses from opening up. Remember, each person who gets vaccinated reduces the chance that we lose our freedoms or government lockdowns return. While you can’t do it alone, we can all keep our ability to work and earn a living by getting vaccinated.”
6) Guilt message: About the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and society must work together to get enough people vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the guilt they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease. Message 3) + “Imagine how guilty you will feel if you choose not to get vaccinated and spread COVID-19 to someone you care about.”
7) Embarrassment message: The danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease. Message 3) + “Imagine how embarrassed and ashamed you will be if you choose not to get vaccinated and spread COVID-19 to someone you care about.”
8) Anger message: The message is about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one's family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the anger they will feel if they don't get vaccinated and spread the disease. Message 3) + “Imagine how angry you will be if you choose not to get vaccinated and spread COVID-19 to someone you care about.”
9) Trust in science message: A message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way of protecting one's community. Vaccination is backed by science. If one doesn't get vaccinated that means that one doesn't understand how infections are spread or who ignores science. “Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective means of protecting your community. The only way we can beat COVID-19 is by following scientific approaches, such as vaccination. Prominent scientists believe that once available, vaccines will be the most effective tool to stop the spread of COVID-19. The people who reject getting vaccinated are typically ignorant or confused about the science. Not getting vaccinated will show people that you are probably the sort of person who doesn’t understand how infection spreads and who ignores or are confused about science.”
10) Not bravery message: A message which describes how firefighters, doctors, and front line medical workers are brave. Those who choose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave. “Soldiers, fire-fighters, EMTs, and doctors are putting their lives on the line to serve others during the COVID-19 outbreak. That's bravery. But people who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 when there is a vaccine available because they don't think they will get sick or aren't worried about it aren't brave, they are reckless. By not getting vaccinated, you risk the health of your family, friends, and community. There is nothing attractive and independent-minded about ignoring public health guidance to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Not getting the vaccine when it becomes available means you risk the health of others. To show strength get the vaccine so you don't get sick and take resources from other people who need them more, or risk spreading the disease to those who are at risk, some of whom can’t get a vaccine. Getting a vaccine may be inconvenient, but it works.”

Abstract
Widespread vaccination remains the best option for controlling the spread of COVID-19 and ending the pandemic. Despite the considerable disruption the virus has caused to people’s lives, many people are still hesitant to receive a vaccine. Without high rates of uptake, however, the pandemic is likely to be prolonged. Here we use two survey experiments to study how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions. In the first experiment, we test a large number of treatment messages. One subgroup of messages draws on the idea that mass vaccination is a collective action problem and highlighting the prosocial benefit of vaccination or the reputational costs that one might incur if one chooses not to vaccinate. Another subgroup of messages built on contemporary concerns about the pandemic, like issues of restricting personal freedom or economic security. We find that persuasive messaging that invokes prosocial vaccination and social image concerns is effective at increasing intended uptake and also the willingness to persuade others and judgments of non-vaccinators. We replicate this result on a nationally representative sample of Americans and observe that prosocial messaging is robust across subgroups, including those who are most hesitant about vaccines generally. The experiments demonstrate how persuasive messaging can induce individuals to be more likely to vaccinate and also create spillover effects to persuade others to do so as well.
Discussion
Overall, the results point both to a set of effective messages and the potential efficacy of specific messages for some particular subgroups. On average, a simple informational intervention is effective, but it is even more effective to add language framing vaccine uptake as protecting others and as a cooperative action. Not only does emphasizing that vaccination is a prosocial action increase uptake, but it also increases people’s willingness to pressure others to do so, both by direct persuasion and negative judgment of non-vaccinators. The latter social pressure effects may be enhanced by highlighting how embarrassing it would be to infect someone else after failing to vaccinate. The Not Bravery and Trust in Science messages had substantial effects on other regarding outcomes and for some subgroups, but do not appear to be as effective as the Community Interest messages in promoting own vaccination behavior. Importantly, in distinct samples fielded several months apart, the Community Interest, Community Interest + Embarrassment, and the Not Bravery messages produced substantively meaningful increases for all outcomes measures relative to the untreated control, and in some instances did so in comparison to the Baseline information condition.
Our findings are consistent with the idea that vaccination is often treated as a social contract in which people are expected to vaccinate and those who do not are sanctioned. In addition to messages emphasizing the prosocial element of vaccination, we observed that messages that invoked reputational concerns were successful at altering judgment of those who would free ride on the contributions of others. This work could also help explain why social norm effects appear to overwhelm the incentive to free ride when vaccination rates are higher. That is, messages that increased intentions to vaccinate also increased the moralization of non-vaccinators suggesting that they are fundamentally linked to one another. These messages will need to be adapted in specific cultural contexts with relevant partners, such as community leaders.
The robust effect of the Community Interest message advances our current understanding of whether public health messaging that deploys prosocial concerns could be effective at increasing COVID-19 vaccine uptake. The results of both experiments presented here support prior work that demonstrated the effectiveness of communication that explains herd immunity on promoting vaccination. It also suggests that a detailed explanation of herd immunity may not be necessary to induce prosocial behavior.
Beyond the theoretical contribution, the results have practical implications for vaccine communication strategies for increasing COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. We identified multiple effective messages that provide several evidence-based options to immunization programs as they develop their vaccine communication strategies. Importantly, the insights into differential effectiveness of various messages by subgroup (e.g. men vs women) could inform messaging targeted to specific groups. Understanding heterogeneous treatment effects and the mechanisms that cause differential responses to persuasive messaging strategies requires additional testing and theoretical development. We view this as a promising avenue for future work.
Hopefully these papers will help dispel some of the confusion and controversies that are currently circulating. We have all been psychologically manipulated. Intentionally. To accept an unlicensed, poorly tested, medical product which is neither safe nor effective under any definition of effectiveness as a vaccine.
Just in case any still have any illusions about the population (including the medical community) having been subjected to a focused, planned, and field tested psy-ops campaign designed to promote compliance - and mass formation (or mass psychosis).
