I can't fucking believe they admitted to that.

Probably because the people who actually pay attention will either handwave it away or say it’s a good thing

The information in this is surreal considering it was published by a bourgeois news outlet. It almost makes me feel a little uneasy because why would they suddenly not care anymore.

Maybe the current bourgeoisie also became anti-vax and they needed to remind them how things work for class solidarity?

But why? I don't understand why will they print news like this after years of gaslighting people with the contrary.

In the article it says they got sloppy. CIA psyops are harder to catch because they don't leave such blatant evidence.
