Conservatives and liberals across the board were stunned and appalled as the Jonas Brothers and Pentatonix pushed President Joe Biden’s COVID booster propaganda down the throats of Americans via White House videos when scaremongering didn’t do the trick.
It appears evident that the White House does not grasp who the demographic is that they are trying to reach with their messaging about vaccinations and boosters as the Omicron variant spreads across the nation.
First up was famed a cappella group Pentatonix and their servile messaging. It was a short jingle on getting a booster shot.
“We can’t shout ‘get your booster’ from the rooftops of the White House, so we asked @PTXofficial to do us one better,” the White House captioned the brief propaganda video. “Find a booster or vaccine appointment near you at http://vaccines.gov.”
“Get your booster/Just like a seat for a little kid /Just like the heat from a rocket ship/Sometimes all you need is a booster,” the 18-second clip admonished.

The messaging went over like a lead balloon on social media Friday. One commenter stated, “Oh for F’s sake.” Another reportedly wrote, “Omg, this is the CREEPIEST video that ever came out from this IG account.”
My cringe meter just exploded.

And it got much worse with the Jonas Brothers putting out a cringy TikTok video a half an hour later that was filmed at the White House, pushing booster shots with Biden making an appearance.
The 16-second propaganda piece featured the group lip-syncing to a viral Sidetalk video about “Joe Byron.”
“Are you vaccinated?” the brothers ask in the audio-dubbed clip. “Yes, sir!” they exclaim.
Kevin Jonas asks at the end of the video, “All right, did we get it?”
Then Biden makes his cameo appearance showing him appearing to film the video. “We got it,” Biden says smiling.

White House Video Director Jonathan Herbert proudly posted the video on Twitter, writing: “The video team did a little thing this week with the @jonasbrothers. Get Boosted!!!”
One wonders how many other young celebrity groups the White House has lined up to pressure Americans on vaccinations. The effort is considered by many to be embarrassingly bad and it looks like Biden is trying to use celebrity clout the way Obama did. It’s not working.
Biden has invited celebrities to the White House to push his agenda including singer Olivia Rodrigo, actress Angelina Jolie, Bill Nye – the Science Guy, and singer Ciara.
Even leftists couldn’t stomach the PR move. They are far more concerned with their student loan debt. Just ask gun-control activist David Hogg and his comrades.
“You can have all the celebs you want at the White House- it’s not going to change the fact almost all of my friends just got emails about needing to restart their federal student loan payments and kids are dying everyday from gun violence. Want our vote? Earn it @POTUS,” Hogg tweeted.
Garbage Day newsletter author Ryan Broderick also screamed over student loans in a leftist rant on Twitter, “this sucks so bad holy shit we are a month away from the anniversary of a literal coup attempt and entering the second year of a still raging pandemic what is wrong with all of you people???? are you all insane?? cancel our student loans!!!! give us free tests!!!”
Conservatives tore into the obvious attempt to sway Americans using celebrities as well and they were not amused.
“I would rather a mean tweet President than a Tik Tok President,” the social media watchdog Libs of TikTok quipped.
“GW wondering what he did to deserve this,” Abigail Marone, press secretary for Republican Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted referencing President George Washington.
The propaganda pieces were dragged on social media:

The White House celebrity ‘get vaxxed’ videos seem designed to impress their fully vaxxed group texts and not the easily identifiable demographics they need to actually move.
