This is a normal post No.
The Higgs boson doesn't create the Higgs field. The field has been there all along. The field is not created by any particle. The Higgs boson interacts with the Higgs field, so if we can find the boson then we can infer the existance of the field. Other particles also interact with the field. It is the field which confers mass on particles, not the boson as so many mainstream media outlets keep repeating.
