A US health agency had an idea: Get Santa Claus involved (in vaccines).
Health and Human Services planned to devote $250 million for an advertising campaign, part of which involved Santa Claus promoting COVID-19 vaccination, reports the Wall Street Journal.
In exchange, Santa would get access to the vaccine before the general
public. And not just Mr. Claus, performers playing Mrs. Claus and elves
would also benefit from the scheme. Michael Caputo, an HHS assistant
secretary who took a 60-day medical leave last month, was the one who
thought up the plan. It has since been scrapped.
