CDC Paid Every Dollar Of A Podcast, Then Disclaimed The Words
The Association of Immunization Managers made eight episodes in 2023 pairing chronic-disease patients with vaccine messaging, fully underwritten by the agency.
- AIM, a nonprofit, received $3,330,000 from the CDC to produce the whole series.
- Eight episodes aired between March 16 and September 7, 2023, hosted by Beysolow and Jacques-Carroll.
- A closing disclaimer states the content does not represent official CDC endorsement.
Why it matters: Paying for every word and disclaiming authorship is how power speaks without ever being blamed.
