Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

The U.S. military launched a clandestine program amid the COVID crisis to discredit China’s Sinovac inoculation – payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic. One target: the Filipino public. Health experts say the gambit was indefensible and put innocent lives at risk.

Does this threaten "international security", liberal?

The anti-vax campaign wasn't all that clandestine, though. It might have initially been, but Trump sure let the cat out of the bag with his nonsense.

Oh no, I agree, it was definitely aimed at the Chinese vaccine at first, but then it turned broadly anti-vax because Trump is too incompetent to keep private things private.
