At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, a nation hit especially hard by the deadly virus.
The clandestine operation has not been previously reported. It aimed to sow doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other life-saving aid that was being supplied by China, a Reuters investigation found. Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vax campaign. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation.
Reuters identified at least 300 accounts on X, formerly Twitter, that matched descriptions shared by former U.S. military officials familiar with the Philippines operation. Almost all were created in the summer of 2020 and centered on the slogan #Chinaangvirus – Tagalog for China is the virus.
COVID came from China and the VACCINE also came from China, don’t trust China!” one typical tweet from July 2020 read in Tagalog. The words were next to a photo of a syringe beside a Chinese flag and a soaring chart of infections. Another post read: “From China – PPE, Face Mask, Vaccine: FAKE. But the Coronavirus is real.”

these agencies are a completely rogue, unelected, unaccountable shadow government. But “muh demorcacy”....
US Military: Soldiers must take the vaxx or face dishonorable discharge.
Also US Military: The virus and the vaccine are both evil tricks being played on people by China.
I’m confused... : /
Worst.
Campaign.
Ever.
... since the whole government was 100% PRO-vax as far as we peons were aware.
Reality:
Number of cases: unknown
Number of deaths: unknown
The numbers associated with covid are all BS.
With reason because it’s hard to fathom how unethical the cia is. To drive a wedge between the Philippine’s and China, the CIA started fake Twitter accounts stating
Example:
“COVID came from China and the VACCINE also came from China, don’t trust China!” one typical tweet from July 2020 ”.
…..
So, IF the CiA truly believed the vax was crucial - that means they were willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the Filipino.
The dept of health would not sign papers for the mRNA vaccine because it had a no liability clause so when it was offered to us in January we didn't get it until late in the year.
So we first got the AZ and Sputnik vaccines in the summer for elders and the Chinese vaccine was given to low risk groups.
70 percent of folks got 2 shots but then omicrom hit and the epidemic ended. Less than 30 percent got boosters.
No one here trusts China and after the Dengue vaccine tragedy few trust vaccines.
So the article is propaganda.
this must be the latest spin
masters of deceit
Full disclosure: In 2020 Reuters made a formal arrangement with TASS, which has resulted in TASS material being fed verbatim to western news retailers without attribution. Might want to dig a little deeper before accepting this at face value.

They should have just let the VAX speak for it’s self.
Ask yourself, how many people typically die of the flu each year? How many people died of the flu during the COVID pandemic?
I think what was happening was the CIA making Chinese COVID products look bad so that more people would buy American made stuff. When they planned the plandemic they made sure there would be profits for the entire group.
There were so many ways to profit off of the COVID scene, medical supplies was just one of them. It was all worked out in detail before the release, all of them will profit.
“The U.S. relationship with Manila had grown tense after the 2016 election of the bombastic Duterte. A staunch critic of the United States, he had threatened to cancel a key pact that allows the U.S. military to maintain legal jurisdiction over American troops stationed in the country.
Duterte said in a July 2020 speech he had made “a plea” to Xi that the Philippines be at the front of the line as China rolled out vaccines. He vowed in the same speech that the Philippines would no longer challenge Beijing’s aggressive expansion in the South China Sea, upending a key security understanding Manila had long held with Washington.
“China is claiming it. We are claiming it. China has the arms, we do not have it.” Duterte said. “So, it is simple as that.”
Days later, China’s foreign minister announced Beijing would grant Duterte’s plea for priority access to the vaccine, as part of a “new highlight in bilateral relations.”
China’s growing influence fueled efforts by U.S. military leaders to launch the secret propaganda operation Reuters uncovered.
“We didn’t do a good job sharing vaccines with partners,” a senior U.S. military officer directly involved in the campaign in Southeast Asia told Reuters. “So what was left to us was to throw shade on China’s.”
Who on Trump’s team (military/cia) were making these decisions ?
I thought the same thing at first, but…There is a bit more to it - Read the portion of the article I copied at post 16.
vCIA limited hangout - okay we are stupid, incompetent and anti-American. No-one is perfect. Send money. We really mean the best for you.
Have you examples, and how does this differ from anything printed in the NY Times?
Practically zero - because all those deaths were classified as "COVID" deaths.
People who died in motorcycle accidents and robberies were classified as "COVID" deaths.
The numbers were cooked to support a narrative.
The numbers that were not cooked were the "all-cause" mortality rates. They went up, and they are still higher than expected.
The numbers that are not being publicly discussed are the differences in "all-cause" mortality rates between the patients who received the mRNA treatment and those who did not. Insurance companies have the data and pay close attention to this stuff as big money is involved. They know what is going on here.
People who refused the mRNA treatments or only took one dose have lower mortality rates.
