The Ethiopian in Israel being injected with contraceptive without consent, while not a vaccine in itself, didn't help either:<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/28/ethiopian-women-given-contraceptives-israel" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/28/ethiopian-wome...</a><p>The COVID crisis is as much a trust crisis than a health crisis. The internet made the people deeply aware of how little the people in power actually cares about the average citizen or customer, and now that we really, really need the mass to have confidence in the institutions, it's getting hard to play the "for real, we are good this times guys" card.
I think it’s quite important to note that the CIA didn’t run a “fake vaccination” campaign, the vaccines were very much real. It compromised existing vaccination programs and used them to collect intelligence.<p>They didn’t inject water into kids, it compromised the trust in the program sure but there is no need to make it sound even worse than it is.
Is there anything the CIA has done in its history that was good for the United States? It seems this agency is doing far more harm to the United States than to protect it. It seems like an agency of lawless lunatics that are accountable to no one thinking they are doing something good but causing enormous damage.
From the FBI's own definition:<p>International terrorism : Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).<p>Struggling to see how the CIA isn't a terrorist organisation at this point.

Reminds me of the documentary Cold Case Hammarskjold where they discover the apartheid era South African government had set up fake medical clinics to infect (Black) Africans with HIV.
This article is from Feb 1, 2021! I understand some hesitancy at this time, as everything was brand new.<p>I am sure the person interviewed in this article is vaccinated meanwhile.
