Rockefeller Foundation Wants Behavioral Scientists To Come Up With
More Convincing COVID Vaxx Narratives

In yet another sign that the covid vaccination agenda of globalist
institutions did not do quite as well as they had originally hoped,
the Rockefeller Foundation has revealed that it (along with other
non-profits) has been pumping millions of dollars into a behavioral
science project meant to figure out why large groups of people around
the world refuse to take the jab.

The “Mercury Project” is a collective of behavioral scientists formed
by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), a non-profit group
which receives considerable funding from globalist organizations and
governments.  The stated goals of the project are rather non-specific,
using ambiguous language and mission statements.  However, the root
intentions appear to be focused on using behavioral psychology and
mass psychology elements to understand the global resistance to the
recent covid compliance efforts.

Mercury groups will be deployed in multiple nations and regions and
will study vaccine refusal and the medical “disinformation” that leads
to it.  They are operating with the intent to tailor vaccination
narratives to fit different ethnic and political backgrounds, looking
for the key to the gates of each cultural kingdom and convincing them
to take the jab.

The Rockefeller Foundation and the SSRC note:

“Following the characterization of inaccurate health information by
the U.S. Surgeon General as an “urgent threat,” and by the World
Health Organization as an “infodemic,” the SSRC issued a call for
proposals to counter the growing global threats posed by public health
mis- and disinformation and low Covid-19 vaccination rates, and
received nearly 200 submissions from around the world.

...With Covid-19 prevalent and rapidly evolving everywhere, there is a
pressing need to identify interventions with the potential to increase
vaccination take-up.”

The SSRC and the Mercury Project are not only receiving funding from
foundations, but also government based institutions.  In June of 2022
the Mercury Project received another $20 million from the National
Science Foundation, which claims to be an “independent” agency of the
United States government.  Meaning, fabricating effective covid
propaganda is becoming a money train for the small groups of
behavioral researchers and psychologists that jump onboard.

The purpose of the NSF partnership with the Mercury Project is
outlined on the SSRC website:

“This innovative partnership will support research teams seeking to
evaluate online or offline interventions to increase Covid-19
vaccination demand and other positive health behaviors, including by
targeting the producers and/or consumers of inaccurate health
information and/or by increasing confidence in reliable health
information.”

The Mercury Project lists these bullet points as their focus:

“Funded projects will provide evidence about what works–and doesn’t–in
specific places and for specific groups to increase Covid-19
vaccination take-up, including what is feasible on the ground and has
the potential to be cost-effective at scale. Each of the 12 teams will
have access to findings from the other teams while exploring
interventions including, but not limited to:

Conducting literacy training for secondary school students in
partnership with local authorities to help students identify Covid-19
vaccine misinformation.

Equipping trusted messengers with communication strategies to increase
Covid-19 vaccination demand.

Using social networks to share tailored, community-developed messaging
to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand.”

In other words, their focus is propaganda, propaganda and propaganda.
The very basis of the existence of the Mercury Project presupposes
that individuals cannot be trusted to make up their own minds about
the information they are exposed to, and that they must be molded to
accept the mainstream narrative.  It also presupposes that mainstream
or establishment information is always trustworthy and unbiased.

The widespread non-compliance against covid vaccination mandates
despite extensive government pressure is perhaps one of the most
underappreciated events of the past century.  It is likely the reason
why political elites and the corporate media went from a non-stop fear
campaign against the public to almost no mention of covid within a
matter of weeks.  It was as if the populace was being put through two
years of waterboarding and then one day the torture simply stopped
without explanation.

If vaccine passport laws had been implemented through western nations
on the scale that governments and globalists were demanding, then the
last vestiges of personal freedom would now be erased permanently.
All individual rights would become privileges granted by authorities
and contingent on your submission to whatever covid booster shots or
medical procedures happen to be in vogue at the time.  Think about it:
 If they had gotten what they wanted, the west would look exactly like
China does right now, or worse, with no economic participation without
an up-to-date covid pass.

And, the threat still lingers.  Why the Mercury Project feels the need
to compose vaccine propaganda for a virus with a mere 0.23% median
Infection Fatality Rate is not explained.  And, if vaccination numbers
from agencies like the CDC are accurate, then the population has
already achieved herd immunity anyway (perhaps their numbers are not
accurate?).  Why are globalist groups so obsessed with 100%
vaccination for covid?  This is never explained.

They will say it's all about saving lives, but if only 0.23% of people
on average are at risk regardless of whether they are vaccinated or
not, then public health is not really a believable explanation.  It
would seem that the Mercury Project's purpose is more about
influencing people to vaccinate despite the science rather than in the
name of science.
