In order to capture Osama bin Laden, the CIA created a fake vaccination drive in Pakistan. The drive distributed hepatitis B vaccinations in order to obtain DNA information. By administrating fake vaccinations to babies, the CIA could attempt to find a child related to bin Laden. However, these efforts led to a large distrust in the government and anti-vaccine campaigns by Islamic extremist parties. There was a 23% decline in DTP vaccination rates and 28% decrease for polio vaccines. ]]> 2022-04-21 11:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/georgiaimperatore/1r4vxsx253bjf04b/wish/2151908301 georgiaimperatore https://padlet.com/georgiaimperatore/1r4vxsx253bjf04b/wish/2151908837 HPV vaccine is re-framed as promiscuity promotion by anti-vaxxers.

Wakerfield writes that “the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, given to children around the age of 18 months and again at four years, could lead to autism”.
