It sounds stupid…
But we got Bin Laden because of a fake vaccine program and I’m like 90% sure that was Polio too…
So it kind of makes sense. Hell, that was most likely a war crime when we did it. The reason it’s not done is countries won’t let vaccine initiatives happen if they think it’s just military intelligence gathering.
If anything it’s weird they were letting them happen to begin with.
Yes, it was polio. In Pakistan, though, and not part of a UN/WHO program, it was independent.
They impersonated MSF doctors…
Actually, the fake vaccine initiative had several sources say it wasn’t successful in proving OBL’s final location.
By that point, they had found his suspicious compound anyway but needed some sort of confirmation that OBL was really there.
Regardless, now a substantial amount of people refuse to take vaccines after they learned the hep b drive was actually a CIA operation.
Which is really stupid because Pakistan was formerly the last country that still had polio cases and it took them another decade before they finally started to reduce it. iirc they were just recently surpassed by Gaza.
In case anyone might be wondering why such a senseless thing is happening, here is a history lesson - https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/05/20/314231260/cia-says-it-will-no-longer-use-vaccine-programs-as-cover
It’s interesting that, let me check my notes here… CIA created and State Department funded RFE/RFA/RL wouldn’t mention this in the article isn’t it…
Very interesting
they aint gonna survive very long.
The CIA is a terrorist organization and the enemy of all human beings.
