Hello everyone, Dennis Quaid here I have to say that right now I feel some outrage and a lot of disappointment about a PSA and an interview I did with Dr. Anthony Fauci a few weeks ago This is used by cultural media to cancel that I was doing a campaign ad and supporting Donald Trump and being paid generously for it by embezzled CDC funds Nothing Could being further from the truth What I was doing, I did a PSA for Dr.Anthony Fauci and he was kind enough to give me an interview as well, and the interview and the PSA was about COVID awareness- 19 and what we can still do to prevent lives being lost due to this terrible and terrible virus It was about the importance of wearing a mask and social distancing and it was by no means political.In fact, Dr Anthony Fauci and I talked about this before it was not political, as the virus is not political I haven’t been paid a dime for doing this interview and Dr Anthony Fauci I’m really disappointed that some people who call themselves legitimate journalists don’t do their homework If you want to listen to my whole conversation with Dr Anthony Fauci you can, it’s on my podcast the Dennaissance podcast on Audio Up Whoever wrote this story obviously didn’t listen to the interview Anyway, thanks for your time Everyone stay tuned safety and wear a mask God protect you

Quaid does not directly say whether his video interview with Fauci will be used in a Trump administration commercial or a PSA campaign

After the campaign was announced, Winans posted a video on Instagram and Twitter saying his involvement « was not political at all »

“I was asked a few weeks ago to do an interview with Surgeon General Jerome Adams about the coronavirus,” Winans explains in the video (watch it below) “And this interview highlights how important it is for everyone to wear a mask, and she also gives us other instructions on how to get to the other side of this pandemic It was not at all political We have lost so many lives due to COVID-19 Let’s all do all we can not to lose again God bless you « 

Last spring, Quaid told the Daily Beast that Trump, « No matter what anyone thinks of him, is doing a good job of trying to get these states – and all Americans – what they need. , and also tries to keep our economy together and be ready for when this is all over « 

In addition to Quaid and Winans, the HHS, according to Politico, has approached Dr Mehmet Oz and Garth Brooks to appear in the campaign, although their involvement is unknown at this point

The COVID ad campaign was largely devised by Michael Caputo, the spokesperson for the health department who, before taking two-month sick leave following a cancer diagnosis, accused scientists of government of « sedition, » Caputo said in a Facebook video in September 13 that the ad campaign was « demanded of me by the President of the United States personally » and that « the Democrats – and, by the way, their media couples and left scientists who work for the government – are determined against They can’t allow us to have good news until November because they lose… They are going to sue me because I am going to run $ 250 million in ads in waves «
