🦠 In the past couple of days, the US ambassador Dorothy Shea led a propaganda campaign through several Lebanese TV channels regarding a batch of COVID-19 vaccine sent as aid.

Thread 🔽
⋯ The USA, under the slogan "From our labs to your jabs" to build trust, sent Lebanon Johnson and Johnson's (J&J) vaccines.

These vaccines were granted emergency use authorization by the FDA, but were advised against by the CDC. The USA knows the health risk, so it decided to donate its purchase to the 3rd World.
⋯ Lebanon mainly uses Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and on a limited scale the Chinese and Russian vaccine.

The Chinese have donated up to a million COVID-19 vaccines, ones used in China, and have thankfully limited the presentation to a token photo at the airport.
