Goddammit Pentagon. That's not how diseases work.
To a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
To the military, the solution to every problem is war.
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~~ Americans, 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.~~
FTFT. Also horse de-wormer, hydroxychloriquine, and bleach. The Pentagon was just doing what other wrong-thinking military psyops orgs were doing. The MAGAts were, of course, the targets for those.
Unsurprisingly led by the demented orange rapist who embraced all the garbage and spread it widely, and bigly.
You're mistaken. Literally the first paragraph of the article says ...
the U.S. military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines
He's making the point that everyone is doing this to each other.
They said someone else ...
The MAGAts were, of course, the targets for those.

The Shinzo Abe situations are always weird to me. One or more people decided to do this, in the sense that the buck stops somewhere.
It's easy to find addresses, workplaces, family members, an itinerary.
It's like in order to make it to these positions you need to have a defective brain that allows you to hurt lots of other people while ignoring how easy it is for one of them to reach out and touch you. I'd need constant anxiety meds.
Article doesn't come up for me. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the brainchild of those farts in the Trump administration who thought the virus would kill off Democrat voters and were happy to see response slowed.

Nothing sinister my govt does can really surprise me anymore.
Undermine China, pave the way for BongBong, you know. Foreign policy stuff.
No doubt, we had our former 34 time convicted felon president* do that to us.
Wow that doesn't look good.
Maybe it's a psyops to make conspirationists think taking your vax IS in fact the rebelious position ? Take that CIA !
Even a lame excuse is still just an excuse
