I’m most interested in why the Pentagon did this. It seems like an weird thing to do. It also seems like, whatever upsides might have been there, the downsides of blowback if the scheme was caught almost certianky outweigh the upsides.
They attacked Chinas covid vaccine, which while less effective than the American/European version, they made available to lower income countries much sooner. By maligning the vaccine, the Pentagon could attack China in the developing world.

As far as the CIA is concerned it achieved its objective and thus was a success. They don’t give a flying fuck about the lives of a few thousand innocent brown people.
What wrong with these people
