"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."
Destroying trust puts us all at risk.
