Guilford County Emergency Management Director Don Campbell said that the county is now engaging in a full-on advertising blitz to encourage area adults to get their shots of COVID-19 vaccines.
“We’ve got a contract with a marketing group that is working on a number of advertisements specifically focused towards the African-American, black, Latino and Latinx groups.”
He said those ads will be appearing on both radio and television.
“It is a multiphase process that will include many other marketing elements along with TV and radio ads,” Campbell said. “We’re continuing to refine what those are going to look like.”
Campbell said Guilford County government is also collaborating with several area non-profits that work with those groups to try to identify exactly what’s making people hesitant about getting vaccinated.
He said he wanted to discover all the barriers to vaccination so the county can remove as many of those as possible.
Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Skip Alston said this is a huge problem that’s not limited to minority communities.
Alston said he wants to see the county conduct the ad effort in a “widespread” manner since there are also a large number of people in white communities who are displaying hesitancy toward the vaccinations.
“There are 35 percent of the people out there saying they are not going to get the vaccination or saying they are afraid to get the vaccination,” Alston said.
Near the start of the vaccination effort, Alston had his picture taken while getting the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine. He sent the picture to local media outlets, along with a press release, in an attempt to encourage other African-Americans in the county to also get vaccinated.
Not everyone on board about being a “human guinea pig”. Completely within their right not to “roll up the sleeves”.
The government and its acolytes in the corporate media are browbeating people into getting jabbed. Stuff them!
If they really are mystified about “vaccine hesitancy” let me explain it to them, pithily and succinctly.
I caught Covid. No fun, but no problem. It reminded me of a dose of the flu i got a decade ago. A couple of days in bed and a lingering cough – that’s all – and I’m 59.
Would you consent to getting an unproven chemical cocktail injected into your body to prevent that? The vaccines have NOT undergone the FDA’s normal approval process; they have been authorized on an emergency basis only.
AND…the manufacturers of the vaccines have been granted blanket legal immunity from all liability by the Federal government….
Who knows what side-effects of these toxins will surface in 5 years or more…or less.
Will I let the state coerce me into having them injected into my body? NO WAY.
Keep your needles off my body.
Dare to think for yourself.
Come on down and get yer shots. Free shots here. Free shots & free clots here. Free seizures, palsy, possible death and other fun possibilities! Don’t miss out on yours, call or visit today! We will give you a little card and tell you you’re special. We will also mention how great it is that you have singlehandedly saved the entire planet by following the made up science we feed you. Don’t miss out on this feel good opportunity to be injected with an untested substance. You won’t remember where you got it when it gives you early onset Alzheimers or Parkinsons in a few years. It’s absolutely a must have! Just ask anyone else we’ve lied to for the past year.
Another way to waste public money but they feel good about themselves. It’s all about how they “feel” and not about what people “think”. They already know why that third hasn’t gotten a vaccine, some eventually will and others won’t. Stop wasting money. Give it a rest, leave it alone, let it go, get on with life.
