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.”

Either that or some high ranking members of the Pentagon are working for Phaser and wanted to eliminate their competition.
Keir Giles gives three examples in his book “Russia’s War on Everybody”. Had to transcribe by hand from footnotes in small print. Hope I got them right.

By implication there are many more.
How effective were these non MRNA vaccines in your estimate?
“So the article is propaganda.”
All “news” has the purpose to convince rather than simply to inform.
That said, the Pentagon engaging in this sort of absurdity is in fact a significant news story.
The Pentagon could not have known at the time what the health effects on an allied population were of it’s propaganda. And did obviously did not care.
The article points out that the Pentagon is barred from propagandizing Americans yet that distinction is meaningless given the borderless internet.
Another great irony is the Pentagon blaming the virus on the Chinese (rightfully) without mentioning that the USA was funding Coronavirus gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab from which the virus escaped.
Do we need to lose a world war to get justice?
What? That kant be! There were like a brazillion deathsdue to covid- the cdc said so /s

Sorry Chad, Keir Giles collects a check from the Chatham House, a leftist/globalist British think tank based in London, England. Nothing he says should be taken seriously by patriotic Americans.
Regime change in Washington... The writing is on the wall. Joe has brought America to brink of total destruction with his never-ending wars.
Our government has become a corrupt enterprise led by insane criminals. No crime is above them from common theft to war crimes. Buckle up and pray that November changes things.
The only possible sources of truth are in Moscow, eh?
You seem very reliant on accepting a globalist worldview. I suppose that’s comforting given the collapsing Ukraine Project coupled with a resurgent Russia. Remember, it’s Biden’s policies that got us here with the help of ppl like you.
Total propaganda from Beijing.
Chicoms are attacking Philippine boats. The other day a Filipino got his thumb cut of in this attack.
