US ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China's COVID efforts: Report

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States 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, an investigation by the Reuters news agency has found.

Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military's propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vaccination campaign, Reuters reported in a story released on Friday. 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.

In the same way that Russia's Sputnik-V vaccine was not only smeared, but was also outright refused authorisation in the West; and likely because there was a sinister reason the establishment wanted to push its own mRNA jabs: RNA Vaccines, Obedience and Eugenics

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, the Reuters investigation found.

"COVID came from China and the VACCINE also came from China, don't trust China!" one typical tweet from July 2020 read. The words were posted 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."

Again, Western propaganda wanted to divert attention away from the true source of the outbreak: 2023: China urges US to clarify military-biological activities following Russian Parliamentary report exposing plans for 'universal genetically-altered bioweapon'

The US military's anti-vax effort began in the spring of 2020 and expanded beyond Southeast Asia before it was terminated in mid-2021.

The Pentagon tailored the campaign to local audiences across Central Asia and the Middle East using a combination of fake social media accounts on multiple platforms to spread fear of China's vaccines among Muslims at a time when the virus was killing tens of thousands of people each day.

A key part of the strategy: amplify the disputed contention that, because vaccines sometimes contain pork gelatin, China's shots could be considered forbidden under Islamic law.

The military programme started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden's presidency - even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation, Reuters said.

The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review.

Spokespeople for Trump and Biden did not respond to requests for comment about the clandestine programme, Reuters reported.

A senior Department of Defense official acknowledged the US military engaged in secret propaganda to disparage China's vaccine in the developing world, but the unnamed official declined to provide details.

A Pentagon spokeswoman said the US military "uses a variety of platforms, including social media, to counter those malign influence attacks aimed at the US, allies and partners". She alleged China started a "disinformation campaign to falsely blame the United States for the spread of COVID-19".

As was evident throughout the contrived coronavirus crisis, the West used every means at their disposal - not just a few hundred social media accounts - to spread propaganda and control the narrative.

'Dismayed, disappointed, disillusioned'

In an email, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it has long maintained the US government manipulates social media and spreads misinformation.

A spokesperson for the Philippines Department of Health said the "findings by Reuters deserve to be investigated and heard by the appropriate authorities of the involved countries".

Some American public health experts condemned the Pentagon programme, saying it put civilians in jeopardy for potential geopolitical gain.

"I don't think it's defensible," said Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease specialist at Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine. "I'm extremely dismayed, disappointed and disillusioned to hear that the US government would do that."

The effort to stoke fear about Chinese inoculations risked undermining overall public trust in government health initiatives, including US-made vaccines that became available later, Lucey and others said.

Although the Chinese vaccines were found to be less effective than the American-led shots by Pfizer and Moderna, all were approved by the World Health Organization. Sinovac did not respond to a request for comment.

There's no strong evidence showing any of the vaccines had any impact on transmission nor infection, however there is a growing body of evidence showing the West's experimental mRNA injections caused a great number of slight and grave side effects, as well as a surge in excess deaths following their roll out.

"It should have been in our interest to get as much vaccine in people's arms as possible," said Greg Treverton, former chairman of the US National Intelligence Council, which coordinates the analysis and strategy of Washington's many spy agencies.

What the Pentagon did, Treverton said, "crosses a line".

In ancient Greek religion and myth, Nemesis [...] was the goddess who personified retribution for the sin of hubris; arrogance before the gods.

Etymology[edit]
The name Nemesis is derived from the Greek word νέμειν, némein, meaning "to give what is due",^[2] from Proto-Indo-European *nem- "distribute".^[3]

Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/; from Ancient Greek ὕβρις (húbris) 'pride, insolence, outrage'), or less frequently hybris (/ˈhaɪbrɪs/),^[1] describes a personality quality of extreme or excessive pride^[2] or dangerous overconfidence and complacency,^[3] often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance.^[4] The term arrogance comes from the Latin adrogare, meaning "to feel that one has a right to demand certain attitudes and behaviors from other people". To arrogate means "to claim or seize without justification... To make undue claims to having",^[5] or "to claim or seize without right... to ascribe or attribute without reason".^[6] The term pretension is also associated with the term hubris, but is not synonymous with it.^{[7][need quotation to verify]}

According to studies, hubris, arrogance, and pretension are related to the need for victory (even if it does not always mean winning) instead of reconciliation, which "friendly" groups might promote.^[8] Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group, although the group the offender belongs to may suffer collateral consequences from wrongful acts. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments, or capabilities. The adjectival form of the noun hubris/hybris is hubristic/hybristic.^[1]

The term hubris originated in Ancient Greek,^[9] where it had several different meanings depending on the context. In legal usage, it meant assault or sexual crimes and theft of public property,^[10] and in religious usage it meant emulation of divinity or transgression against a god.^[11]

The saying Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad, sometimes given in Latin as Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat (literally: Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason) or Quem Iuppiter vult perdere, dementat prius (literally: Those whom Jupiter wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason) has been used in English literature since at least the 17th century. Although sometimes falsely attributed to Euripides, the phrase does have classical Greek antecedents.
