This doesn't change the fact that #Sinovac is close to useless and most PPEs made in #China are inferior. A lot of our friends who got Sinovac died, so wag kang masyadong mema, #TarantadongKalbo.

⭕Pentagon ran a secret anti-vax campaign targeting China's Sinovac vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The operation aimed at the Filipino public to undermine China's influence, creating fake accounts to spread doubts about China's aid.

Health experts condemn this risky gambit. 📉
