Media Bias Fact Check | bot support
Lol. Now I see why no one likes Media Bias Fact Check.
Generally speaking the propaganda networks are effective because they reliably report fact and then hide the spin or deliberately leave out context they’re aware of.
For example, they might report this fact, and don’t mention it’s because the CIA has previously hidden agents in vaccination efforts, but it is technically “unbiased” reporting in that they’re stating a fact. The Taliban is suspending vaccinations and didn’t officially state a reason.
But you can generally trust the literal statement they’re making, and they don’t spend much time editorializing, thus “Least Biased.”
they aint gonna survive very long.
They’re just going to make their sex slaves have more kids and go back to the medieval population growth model. It’s what they’ve always wanted anyways.
In case anyone might be wondering why such a senseless thing is happening, here is a history lesson - npr.org/…/cia-says-it-will-no-longer-use-vaccine-…
Very interesting
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…
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…
Still concerned that it's fueling a lot of mistrust with the vaccination process though. One would hope that since it wasn't through UN/WHO then any UN/WHO programs would remain trusted, but who knows?
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.
Hmm, but now they are denying it. I don't know what to believe: https://www.rferl.org/a/afghanistan-polio-taliban-vaccination-deny-who/33122994.html
If they hadn't denied it, then I would have imagined that the Taliban was so disorganized that they just discovered this - or at least, just realized the potential implications (just connected the dots). That might still be the case, and the denial is simply a false one with the purpose to not worsen their reputation on the world stage.
The CIA is a terrorist organization and the enemy of all human beings.
Skill issuers gonna skill issue.
