CDC Coordinated with Facebook On COVID Messaging and 'Misinformation'; CDC Received Over $3.5 Million in Free Advertising from Social Media Companies

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 2,469 pages of new documents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reveal that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to control the COVID narrative and "Misinformation" and that over $3.5 million in free advertising given to the CDC by social media companies.

The CDC was given over $3.5 million of free advertising on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

In a March 8, 2020 email, a Facebook representative sends four ad credits totaling $2 million to the CDC for the purpose of supporting "Messaging related to coronavirus."

In an email exchange between August 10-11, 2020, the CDC's Sherri Berger emails Facebook again to thank them for another $1 million in ad credits with a similar message to that on March 14, except she adds: "This gift will be used by the CDC's COVID-19 response to distribute scientifically accurate data, guidance and risk communication information on COVID-19 to a broader audience." In an email exchange on August 25, 2020, Facebook makes CDC officials aware that of their recent gift of $1 million in ad credits, $529,207.

In an email exchange beginning March 16, 2020, a Google representative offers the CDC free video advertising on YouTube.

Providing the gift will not prevent Google LLC or its affiliates from supplying products of services to CDC in the future; CDC is under no obligation to accept future services from Google LLC or its affiliates.

"These documents show that Facebook and the CDC are joined at the hip on managing the ever-changing Covid-19 'narrative' - which includes censorship of alleged 'misinformation'," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
