This is from a post on FB, about how the polio virus made a comeback in Indonesia, and has been beaten back:

But here's the part many people may not know...
Indonesian officials found a chunk of <the vaccine> disinformation came from Russia... the same playbook they've been running in Europe, the US, Africa, and yes, here in Australia.
Because why spend billions on tanks when you can break nations with Telegram memes?
The strategy is brutally elegant...
Convince religious conservatives that vaccines violate their faith.
Convince political conservatives that vaccines violate their freedom.
Convince enough people that expertise itself is a conspiracy...
...and suddenly you've turned a medical tool into a culture-war weapon.
Sick countries become unstable countries.
Unstable countries become distracted countries.
Distracted countries stop opposing Russia's geopolitical fantasies.
They don't need you to agree with them.
They just need you confused, angry, divided, and distrustful.
