Santa Claus gets Vaccinated
Background Information
Anthony Fauci told children he had visited Santa Claus at the north pole and personally gave him the vaccine so he could deliver presents this year. The US infectious disease expert responded to video messages sent in to CNN on Saturday from children who were concerned they would not receive their presents due to spread of Covid-19.
Technique Used
Activate Emotion
This is propaganda because
Nothing warms the heart more than hearing that Santa Claus is vaccinated and good to go. This news clip activates emotions by sharing videos from kids who are concerned that Santa won't be bringing them presents this year. We are meant to feel empathy for the kids, but reassured with Fauci's lone solution, a vaccine. Duh. Santa lives forever but can still die from Covid-19, of course. Fauci is obviously trying to influence public opinion by suggesting that the solution to Santa's problem is the solution to the Covid problem. If Santa got his vaccine, we all should. I would say that using children to push an agenda is never beneficial propaganda, no matter what the opinion on vaccines is. It's an appeal to emotions, instead of speaking logically, and truthfully for that matter.
