The U.S. military launched a clandestine program amid the COVID crisis to discredit China’s Sinovac inoculation – payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic. One target: the Filipino public. Health experts say the gambit was indefensible and put innocent lives at risk.
We not only killed a bunch of people for political gain but we weaker other vaccine operations. Jail the person or people that operated this for crimes against humanity.
The most relevant bit.
The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.
I want to see an investigation into when the Biden Adminstration knew this was going on. Most of the time possible presidential canadities get briefed on affairs.
Did Trump’s administration tell Biden’s (can’t remember if Biden was being debriefed)? If Trump didn’t tell anyone then he should face international charges.
They also usually have two months of transition planning, which didn’t happen since Trump wasn’t planning on leaving. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of Trump era shit continued a while into the Biden administration simply because it took time to get caught up on it all and shut it down.
Not surprised at all
We like to do inhuman things to POC.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Everyone involved in this, anyone who followed these orders, needs to hang.
Goddammit. Just to be clear, Pentagon: this is a stunt Cobra Commander would pull in a G.I. Joe cartoon, not something real people actually do.
I’m always amazed they continue to think their harebrained schemes will be worth the blowback despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary

That is just a sample. We get off on this shit.

Fake reason: Reduce Chinese influence in the Philippines
Real reason: Ensure U.S. pharmaceutical companies get their payday
Yeah, whoever came up with that idea needs to be busted down to the rank of Buck Sargent for the rest of their career.
Nothing about this misinformation campaign actually defends America. In fact, arguably, it could even have harmed America significantly by persuading a population of the world to remain woefully unvaccinated and thus extending the worst of the Pandemic for the entire world.
