เปิดโปง! สหรัฐฯ ปล่อย FAKE NEWS โจมตี SINOVAC ภูมิรัฐศาสตร์ สหรัฐฯ-จีน ช่วงโควิด ที่คร่าผู้บริสุทธิ์
Summary
It was Reuters, an American agency, that revealed the US military campaign against Chinese vaccines in developing countries, the Philippines above all.
The strategic rationale was countering Chinese influence in Southeast Asia and holding the balance in the South China Sea.
The actual effect was people hesitating over a vaccine during a lethal wave — a cost measured in lives.
Key points
The source is American media
This did not come from Beijing, which makes it hard to dismiss as propaganda.
The objective was geopolitical, not medical
The decision rested on regional balance, with public health as a secondary variable.
The targets were countries with fewest options
At that point the Chinese vaccine was the only one many of them could actually get.
The lasting damage is to trust
Once an operation like this is known, accurate public health information gets doubted too.
