      The US military seems to have a particular vendetta against Muslims getting vaccinated, remember when they used a polio vaccine campaign in Pakistan to collect mass genetic materials in order to try and get a genetic match for Bin Laden?

    A senior Defense Department official acknowledged the U.S. military engaged in secret propaganda to disparage China’s vaccine in the developing world

    Not that this is a revelation, but it confirms the US would still sooner see millions die rather than let China have any influence (or impact western vaccine profits).

    Article also makes it clear that Facebook knew about this, and that the Pentagon has recently given the same contractor half a billion to do more of this shit. All the “cyber troll” accusations are mass projection, you really can’t trust anything.
