U.S. Admits Anti-Vax Propaganda Campaign in Philippines to Undermine China – Business Times

Read article - Daniel Lucey '77, Geisel '82, a clinical professor of medicine, is quoted in an article about a Reuters investigation that found that the U.S. military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China's growing influence in the Philippines. It aimed to sow doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other life-saving aid that was being supplied by China. "I don't think it's defensible. I'm extremely dismayed, disappointed, and disillusioned to hear that the U.S. government would do that," Lucey said.
