THE YALE EXPERIMENT

In July 2020 Yale completed a study to see which propaganda measures (they called it “vaccine messaging”) would work the best on the general population - right around when the major pharmaceutical companies were getting their billion-dollar grants from Project Warp Speed. The “messaging” they experimented with was as follows:

Control Message
2/15 of the sample will be assigned to the pure control group, which is a passage on the costs and benefits of bird feeding.

Baseline Message
3/15 of the sample will be assigned to a control group with a message about the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.

Personal Freedom Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about how COVID-19 is limiting people’s personal freedom and by working together to get enough people vaccinated society can preserve its personal freedom.

Economic Freedom Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about how COVID-19 is limiting people’s economic freedom and by working together to get enough people vaccinated society can preserve its economic freedom.

Self-Interest Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message that COVID-19 presents a real danger to one’s health, even if one is young and healthy. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best way to prevent oneself from getting sick.

Community Interest Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about the dangers of COVID-19 to the health of loved ones. The more people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, the lower the risk that one’s loved ones will get sick. Society must work together and all get vaccinated.

Economic Benefit Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about how COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on the economy and the only way to strengthen the economy is to work together to get enough people vaccinated.

Guilt Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one’s family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and society must work together to get enough people vaccinated. Then, it asks the participant to imagine the guilt they will feel if they don’t get vaccinated and spread the disease.

Embarrassment Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one’s family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. Then, it asks the participant to imagine the embarrassment they will feel if they don’t get vaccinated and spread the disease.

Anger Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about the danger that COVID-19 presents to the health of one’s family and community. The best way to protect them is by getting vaccinated and by working together to make sure that enough people get vaccinated. Then it asks the participant to imagine the anger they will feel if they don’t get vaccinated and spread the disease.

Trust In Science Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way of protecting one’s community. Vaccination is backed by science. If one doesn’t get vaccinated that means that one doesn’t understand how infections are spread or who ignores science.

Not Bravery Message
1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this intervention, which is a message describing how firefighters, doctors, and front line medical workers are brave. Those who choose not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 are not brave.
