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.

      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.
