At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, a nation hit especially hard by the deadly virus, an investigation by the Reuters news agency has found. Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vaccination campaign, Reuters reported in a story released on Friday. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the U.S. government was actually the biggest spreader of vaccine misinformation during the pandemic.

Plus segments on the FBI’s efforts to purge the bureau of Trump supporters and a recent study showing that fast food is bad for fetuses.
