During the peak of the pandemic, the Pentagon tried to discredit Chinese-made COVID vaccines. It set up at least 300 Twitter accounts in the Philippines broadcasting the slogan that “China is the virus” to convince people not to take the Sinovac vaccine.
This took place when COVID was sweeping though the Philippines, a U.S. ally which had one of the highest death rates in the region. And it came when there was a worldwide shortage of U.S.-made vaccines. In other words, if it was effective, this campaign undoubtedly contributed to many deaths from COVID.
When it was caught red-handed by Reuters, a Pentagon spokesperson admitted everything. He said that the U.S. military “conducts a wide range of operations … this process is deliberate, methodical, and comprehensive.” He added that the military “uses a variety of platforms, including social media.”
So not only have we learned once again that the U.S. military is willing to kill countless innocent people to undermine a rival—we’ve also learned that what you thought was your cousin’s tweet might really have been written by a general!
