With all the vaccine mandates the government was pushing out in 2021, you would have thought they really saw Covid-19 as a threat.
The Pentagon seemed especially concerned, discharging any soldier who did not get the shot. Those military guys really wanted to save people from the Rona.
Unless those people lived in the Philippines.
A new investigation by Reuters shows that at the same time our government was so worried about the spread of Covid-19 around the world, the Pentagon was actively engaging in an anti-vax campaign in the Philippines.
The operation involved hundreds of social media accounts that were set up to discourage Filipinos from getting China's Sinovac vaccine. They were all posting something similar to this:
Is it true? COVID came from China and the VACCINE also came from China, don't trust China!
Another post read,
From China - PPE, Face Mask, Vaccine: FAKE. But the Coronavirus is real.
A Pentagon spokeswoman confirmed the campaign and said that,
The U.S. military 'uses a variety of platforms, including social media, to counter those malign influence attacks aimed at the U.S., allies, and partners.'
The military justified the anti-vax campaign by saying that,
China had started a "disinformation campaign to falsely blame the United States for the spread of COVID-19."
On the other side of the proverbial coin, Beijing has called on Washington to "stop fabricating and disseminating false information."
Their foreign ministry spokesman, Lin Jian, issued the following statement:
The facts have proven time and again that the United States has consistently spread false information through the manipulation of social media, poisoned the public opinion environment and smeared the image of other countries. China firmly opposes this.
Filipino officials seem to be perplexed by the whole thing.
'Why did you do it when people were dying? We were desperate,' said Dr. Nina Castillo-Carandang, a former adviser to the World Health Organization and Philippines government during the pandemic. 'We don't have our own vaccine capacity,' she noted, and the U.S. propaganda effort 'contributed even more salt into the wound.'
In the end, it's all gobbledygook.
At this point, the evidence shows that while China developed the virus, the U.S. was funding the development under the direction of Dr. Anthony (The Science) Fauci.
Both countries are to blame for the disease.
Both countries had issues with their vaccines.
But the issue in the Philippines had nothing to do with Covid-19 or the vaccines. It was all about the South China Sea.
When Covid broke out, the Filipino president offered to end the islands' opposition to China's claim on the South China Sea in exchange for access to the Sinovac vaccine, which China granted.
The deal upended a U.S./Philippines security agreement, and so, we launched a psy-op against the Chinese vaccine.
It's as simple as that.
