"The idea that these were in any way 'fake' is simply mistaken," the official told ABC News. "Many Pakistani children received vaccinations, and if the effort had not been interrupted by the arrest of the doctor, they would have been fully immunized." "The plan was for everyone to get the full course of treatments," the official added.
nice try faceless fascist drone, but we got the receipts:
The misguided vaccine program in Pakistan was started in a poor neighborhood of Abbottabad, no doubt to give it an air of legitimacy. Yet after the first in a standard series of three hepatitis B shots was given, the effort was abandoned so that the team could move to bin Laden's wealthier community. This lapse in protocol proves that the best interests of the recipients were not the guiding principle of the effort—while not coincidently betraying the program for the sham it was.
This fills me with such rage. Every time someone brings it up again, I just want to scream (preferably right into the faces of everyone who thought of this and carried it out).
during the cold war they had to at least worry about optics and the USSR, instead of feeling like they could get away with anything
The CIA and everyone who wilfully partakes in that institution needs to burn in perpetuity. There is no moralizing over this
