Nihilistic Wrong Hordak: I felt the same way when the CIA used fake polio campaign to hunt Bin Laden. They literally did what every terrorist and dictator accused NGOs of doing. Not long after 6 (iirc) doctors doing real polio work were killed and NGOs inoculating villages were chased off.

Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to incite fear of China vaccineswww.reuters.com The covert effort began under Trump and continued into Biden’s presidency, Reuters found. Health experts say it endangered lives for possible geopolitical gain.

congrats to everyone involved whose stupid idea here isn't just wildly unethical but will do several decades of damage to american interests
