The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bankrolled the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) to the tune of $11 million to promote covid-19 vaccination as \u201csafe and effective<\/em>\u201d for pregnant women, according to an investigation<\/a> published this week by attorney Maggie Thorp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Documents obtained by Thorp through a Freedom of Information Act<\/em> (FOIA<\/em>) request revealed that the CDC and ACOG entered into multiple \u201ccooperative agreements<\/em>\u201d to carry out work largely designed and controlled by the CDC and contingent on ACOG\u2019s adherence to the CDC\u2019s policies on covid-19 infection and control.<\/p>\n

ACOG is the \u201cpremier<\/em>\u201d professional membership organization for obstetricians and gynecologists with more than 60,000 members across the Americas, its website reports.<\/p>\n

Broadly, the grants supported the development of social media communications strategies, toolkits supporting \u201ceffective covid-19 vaccination conversations<\/em>\u201d between doctors and patients, and the hiring of a global public health communications firm, APCO Worldwide, to produce various communications materials.<\/p>\n

According to Thorp, from December 2020, when the vaccines came on the market, through July 21, 2021, ACOG held a neutral position on vaccination during pregnancy, recommending that pregnant women \u201cbe free to make their own decision regarding covid-19 vaccination<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

But that recommendation \u201cabruptly changed on July 30, 2021<\/em>,\u201d Thorp said, to recommend vaccination for pregnant women.<\/p>\n

Today, ACOG \u201crecommends that all eligible persons aged 6 months and older, including pregnant and lactating individuals, receive a covid-19 vaccine or vaccine series<\/em>,\u201d and a booster.<\/p>\n

The money for the grants comes from covid-19-related federal funding opportunities, such as the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act<\/em> and the CARES Act<\/em>, according to the grant documents.<\/p>\n

Grant recipients, and any \u201cflow-down\u201d organizations they may award money from these grants to, should comply with \u201cexisting and future directives and guidance<\/em>\u201d from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC\u2019s parent organization, regarding the control and spread of covid-19.<\/p>\n

That also includes sharing any data collected in grant-funded activities, including covid-19 testing data, with the CDC.<\/p>\n

\u2018Vast, covert government operation unleashed at the height of our fear and isolation\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

This CDC-ACOG collaboration forms part of the CDC\u2019s and HHS\u2019 strategic approach to covid-19 vaccination encapsulated in its \u201cWe Can Do This<\/em>\u201d public education campaign.<\/p>\n

Through the campaign, HHS and CDC sought in their own words to \u201cmotivate behavior change<\/em>,\u201d through strategic messaging, often developed by public relations firms, using \u201cmarket research, key messages, partnerships and outreach, paid and earned media, and sample creative<\/em>,\u201d across all areas of people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

With $3 billion in federal funding from the Biden White House for states to distribute to local agencies and nonprofits and hundreds of millions of dollars in direct grants to medical associations and nonprofits, the HHS and CDC sought to train and fund \u201ctrusted messengers<\/em>\u201d such as teachers, religious leaders, social media influencers, community leaders and members and others, who would deliver the CDC\u2019s message, but without the CDC\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n

This also included, Thorp wrote, creating the covid-19 Community Corps \u2014 reminiscent of Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s Civilian Conservation Corps work relief program that put millions to work during the Great Depression \u2014 described as \u201ca nationwide, grassroots network of local voices people know and trust to encourage Americans to get vaccinated.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The covid-19 Community Corps targeted \u201cvaccine-hesitant<\/em>\u201d populations, including pregnant women, Thorp\u2019s investigation revealed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thorp called the \u201ctrusted messengers<\/em>\u201d the CDC\u2019s \u201cTrojan horses<\/em>\u201d that used interpersonal relations of trust to enter into people\u2019s personal lives and communicate the CDC\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

She told:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what is most disturbing is that the government was targeting these interpersonal relationships by using people who were in our inner circles at a time when everyone felt isolated and fearful.<\/em><\/p>\n

Interpersonal relationships were exploited in a way that I personally felt was very unethical because it exploited and capitalized on people\u2019s vulnerabilities. Many felt isolated from so many people and their normal activities and routines.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was essentially a vast, covert government operation unleashed on us when we were at our most vulnerable, at the height of our fear and isolation<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

CDC, ACOG had data showing risks to pregnant women but pushed vaccines anyway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. James Thorp, board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal medicine physician who also contributed to the research, told he thought it was particularly troubling that regulatory agencies and medical associations were aware of risks to pregnant women and yet pushed the vaccines.<\/p>\n

Red flags in Pfizer\u2019s data regarding the possible adverse effects of the vaccines for pregnant women were leaked in 2021, according to James Thorp. He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had the data. So they must have said, \u2018Okay, we\u2019re not going to be transparent with the data. We\u2019re going to denigrate their data and our own data (VAERS and Pfizer 5.3.6), and suggest that \u2014 all the morbidity and danger signals and mortality, we\u2019re just gonna brush it off.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018And we\u2019re going to spend $13 billion on psychological operations, fifth-generation war, to convince everybody in the world that it is safe and effective and necessary in the most vulnerable populations: pregnant women, pre-born and newborn babies, and the next most vulnerable population, children<\/em>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one aspect when you\u2019re trying to pull off this mass marketing campaign using marketing tactics that companies have been using for years to sell regular products such as candies, foods or clothing<\/em>,\u201d James Thorp said, \u201cBut they\u2019re doing this with untested gene therapy products in pregnancy<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Defense, HHS, CDC, ACOG, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and others are unequivocally attempting to abolish a highly-revered, God-ordained, gold standard doctrine that has been memorialized and honored and has withstood the scientific test of time over millennia: Never give novel substances in pregnancy without short-term and long-term outcome studies in the offspring.<\/em><\/p>\n

I will not allow this charade to continue. The reproductive toxicology studies are damning as evidenced by Alexandra Latypova, a 30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry demonstrating major problems \u2014 miscarriages, birth defects and many other concerns.<\/em><\/p>\n

Did not these governmental agencies and medical organizations learn their lessons from the thalidomide and diethylstilbestrol [DES] disasters of the last century? The covid-19 gene therapies make thalidomide and DES look like prenatal vitamins.<\/em><\/p>\n

If one does not understand history they will be destined to repeat it on an even grander scale<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maggie Thorp added that if the HHS and CDC were directing people\u2019s behavior as they explicitly sought to through these grants, \u201cThen there is no informed consent at all<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

CDC participated in \u2018all aspects of carrying out\u2019 ACOG grants<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cooperative agreements stipulated by the CDC would have \u201csubstantial programmatic involvement<\/em>\u201d after the grant is awarded. Above and beyond the monitoring and review typical of CDC grants, in these cases, CDC program staff would also \u201cassist, coordinate, or participate in all aspects of carrying out the awards.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Maggie Thorp identified the grants on USAspending.gov and got the details through a FOIA<\/em> request, but the response was heavily redacted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One grant set an April 30, 2021, deadline \u2014 which she noted was prior to when ACOG publicly recommended vaccination for pregnant women \u2014 to create an \u201cEmergency Resource Request Tool (ERR)<\/em>\u201d to target OB-GYNs \u201cand the women they serve<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The purpose of the ERR tools changed over time. By March 2022, they were focused on \u201cdeveloping, maintaining, and promoting tools to combat misinformation on covid-19, which has emerged as a significant barrier to the uptake of vaccination during pregnancy<\/em>,\u201d Maggie Thorp quoted from the FOIA<\/em> documents.<\/p>\n

Another ERR tool involved developing some type of communications tool \u2014 it is unclear from the redacted FOIA specifically what it entailed \u2014 that would be piloted by ACOG and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is another Covid-19 Community Corps member.<\/p>\n

Another $300,000 went to a contract with APCO Worldwide, \u201ca global public health communication vendor<\/em>\u201d to develop a covid-19 virtual communications toolkit to provide \u201ckey messaging and talking points around covid-19 for dissemination<\/em>,\u201d to create virtual training sessions for ACOG members, and to develop a podcast series for members to keep them up-to-date on CDC recommendations.<\/p>\n

In October 2021, a multi-year grant addressing breast cancer and other maternal health issues was revised to direct $3,000,000 toward \u201cEngaging Women\u2019s Health Care Providers for Effective Covid-19 Vaccine Conversations<\/em>\u201d and $300,000 toward \u201cImproving Ob\/Gyn\u2019s Ability to support Covid-19 Vaccination, Psychic Health, Social Support<\/em>.\u201d That grant was renewed in 2022, with $2 million toward the \u201cVaccines Conversations<\/em>\u201d effort.<\/p>\n

Rather than coordinate plans and messages with its membership, ACOG, in exchange for this grant money, committed to working closely with the CDC, sharing information and efforts, discussing recommendations and meeting frequently to \u201censure that recommendations are aligned between the two organizations.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinicians told to document vaccine refusal in medical records<\/strong><\/p>\n

Specific details of the grants were heavily redacted in the FOIA<\/em> documents Maggie Thorp received. But she pointed to ACOG\u2019s website for evidence of the grant work. On one page, the organization offers a \u201cConversation Guide<\/em>\u201d with messaging language on the vaccine for physicians.<\/p>\n

The key advice to clinicians is that all pregnant women should be vaccinated and boosted at any time in their pregnancy, that those who refuse should have it documented in their record, and that follow-up visits should focus on continuing to try to convince them to accept vaccination.<\/p>\n

Or, in Maggie Thorp\u2019s words, clinicians were to \u201curgently push the covid-19 shots in pregnant patients blindly and repeatedly, without the need for offering informed consent. If you cannot convince the patient to take the covid-19 \u2018vaccine, document this discussion in the patient\u2019s electronic medical record\u2019 for what is likely reporting to the CDC<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The website also lists \u201ckey messages<\/em>\u201d that should be communicated to pregnant women, including that covid-19 is quite dangerous for pregnant women, and that there \u201cmay be<\/em>\u201d increased risk of stillbirth. But, the \u201cmessaging list<\/em>\u201d says, there are no \u201cmaternal or fetal<\/em>\u201d effects associated with the covid-19 vaccines, proven by a \u201cgrowing body of evidence<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

These recommended talking points remain on ACOG\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The CDC promoted and continues to promote, the covid-19 vaccines as safe for pregnant women despite recent revelations that as early as January 2021, the U.S. regulatory agencies were aware of indications in Pfizer\u2019s own data that the vaccines pose serious risks for pregnant women.<\/p>\n
