Article says this has been done other places already. Has this specifically been campaign ads or does it also involve things that are considered politically motivated messaging? For example, is there danger of vaccination PSAs getting banned because some politicians say bizarre things about them?

I would hope so. The government paying private companies to spread its propaganda is bad for many reasons.
It's already an uphill battle to fix misinformation concerning vaccines without calling it political.
If you need psychological manipulation (ads) to "fix misinformation" then there is a good chance it isn't misinformation in the first place.
