Laura Kurcfeld of VALUE Baltimore Discusses Strategies Used to Battle COVID Vaccine Misinformation with NYC's discreet Haredi Health Committee ("HHC").
HHC is not necessarily frum, and includes groups such as JOWMA (who embrace LGBTQ lifestyle), Gene Steinberg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/genesteinberg/) and Blimi Marcus.
As shown in the footage, VALUE Baltimore created the script used to put together the video of the Baltimore Rabbonim encouraging the uptake of the COVID-19 jab.
VALUE Baltimore (https://www.bmorevaxxed.org/ambassador-providers/) is part of BmoreVaxxed.org, which is part of the Baltimore Equitable Vaccination Initiative which is collaboration between the Rockefeller Foundation and Baltimore-based stakeholders, anchored by Open Society Institute-Baltimore (OSI, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Society_Institute-Baltimore), to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines in Baltimore City.
Open Society is a foundation run by George Soros.
VALUE (Vaccine Acceptance & Access Lives in Unity, Engagement & Education) Baltimore is a public-private partnership of the Baltimore City Health Department, Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Center, Morgan State University, Maryland Institute College of Art’s Center for Social Design, and Jhpiego (https://www.jhpiego.org/), among others. VALUE works with respected members of Baltimore’s VALUE communities to build trust in the health system, educate the community, and promote unity to combat COVID-19 and other health issues.

Laura also mentions her affiliation with the Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore and The Associated, the Jewish Federation of Baltimore, a non-religious group of people who claim to be Jewish. (See also, https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-kurcfeld/details/experience/)
She also indicates that one of the ways that they got Rabbonim to sign on is by telling them that other Rabbonim or "trusted" members had already signed on.
