That’s not exactly what happened if you read the article behind the bad headline. They were sowing doubt in the Chinese vaccine specifically in the Philippines, not vaccines in general.

“Why did you do it when people were dying?

Lmao this community is full of people who deepthroat the State Department and thank Blinken for the privilege.
The U.S. military’s anti-vax effort began in the spring of 2020 and expanded beyond Southeast Asia before it was terminated in mid-2021, Reuters determined. Tailoring the propaganda campaign to local audiences across Central Asia and the Middle East, the Pentagon used 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.
It seems it only started in the Philippines but ya it was mainly aimed at the Chinese vaccine and PPE. It's more cutt throat shady business than anti-vax stupidity.
There were no other covid vaccines available there.
I mean the anti vax campaign worked well for Russia, so why not sew doubt in preventive measures during a global health crisis?
