    The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.

      I want to see an investigation into when the Biden Adminstration knew this was going on. Most of the time possible presidential canadities get briefed on affairs.

      Did Trump’s administration tell Biden’s (can’t remember if Biden was being debriefed)? If Trump didn’t tell anyone then he should face international charges.

        They also usually have two months of transition planning, which didn’t happen since Trump wasn’t planning on leaving. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of Trump era shit continued a while into the Biden administration simply because it took time to get caught up on it all and shut it down.
