近日，美国国防部在一份文件中公开承认，在新冠疫情期间，曾向菲律宾受众发布信息，贬低中国疫苗的安全性和有效性。这一消息由路透社于7月26日首次报道，引发了国际社会对美国在疫情期间传播信息策略的广泛关注。
### 菲律宾前总统杜特尔特的发言人哈里·罗克透露，美国国防部在6月25日的一份文件中表示，他们承认在传递与新冠肺炎相关的信息时出现了一些错误。同时，美方还对菲律宾外交部和国防部表示，自2022年以来，美国军方已“大大加强了对信息活动的监管和问责”。
### 路透社通过其自有信息渠道验证了文件的真实性。然而，美国五角大楼发言人皮特·阮对此表示，五角大楼确实发布了关于中国疫苗安全性和有效性的社交媒体内容，但强调军方在其中没有责任。截至发稿时，菲律宾国防部和外交部尚未对此消息做出回应。
### 此前，路透社于6月14日发布了一篇调查报道，揭露了美国国防部在2020年至2021年疫情期间，通过操纵数百个虚假社交账号散布诋毁中国疫苗的消息。这些信息特别针对菲律宾进行投放。报道指出，当时菲律宾是东南亚疫情最严重的国家之一，也是疫苗接种率最低的国家之一。
### 报道中，一些卫生专家表示，美军的此类舆论战危及了无辜民众的生命，这种行为不可原谅。菲律宾参议院外交关系委员会主席伊梅·马科斯随后要求菲律宾参议院对此事进行调查。
### 事件的曝光再次引发了国际社会对信息传播和道德责任的讨论，特别是在全球公共卫生危机期间，各国在信息传播中的角色和责任成为关注焦点。
### 此次美国国防部的承认，不仅揭示了疫情期间的信息战策略，也提醒了国际社会在面对公共卫生危机时，应更加重视信息的真实性、道德性和对民众福祉的影响。

### US Department of Defense Admits to Misinforming About Chinese Vaccines
In a recent development, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has publicly acknowledged in a document that during the COVID-19 pandemic, it disseminated misinformation about the safety and efficacy of Chinese vaccines to Filipino audiences. This revelation, first reported by Reuters on July 26, has sparked international scrutiny on the US’s information dissemination strategies during the pandemic.
### Ex-President Duterte’s Spokesperson Harry Roque revealed that in a document dated June 25, the DoD admitted to errors in the transmission of COVID-19-related information. Additionally, the US has communicated to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Defense that since 2022, the military has “substantially strengthened oversight and accountability of information activities.”
### Reuters, through its own information channels, confirmed the authenticity of the document. In response, a Pentagon spokesperson, Peter Nguyen, stated that the Pentagon did publish social media content regarding the safety and efficacy of Chinese vaccines, but emphasized that the military was not responsible for the content. As of the publication, neither the Philippine Department of Defense nor the Department of Foreign Affairs had made a response to the news.
### Previously, on June 14, Reuters published an investigative report disclosing that during the pandemic from 2020 to 2021, the DoD had manipulated hundreds of fake social media accounts to spread misinformation about Chinese vaccines, specifically targeting the Philippines. The report noted that the Philippines was one of the countries with the highest COVID-19 cases and the lowest vaccination rates in Southeast Asia at the time.
### In the report, some health experts criticized the military’s propaganda efforts as risking the lives of innocent people and deemed the actions “unforgivable.” Senator Imee Marcos, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, subsequently requested that the Philippine Senate investigate the matter.
### The revelation of these actions has reinvigorated global discussions on information dissemination and moral responsibility, particularly in the context of global public health crises, with a focus on the roles and responsibilities of countries in information dissemination.
### This acknowledgment by the US Department of Defense not only exposes the information warfare tactics during the pandemic but also serves as a reminder for the international community to prioritize the truth, ethics, and impact on public welfare when facing public health crises.
