Former CIA Officer Says Foreign Powers Paying U.S. Health Influencers

What was said

"One of the things I would actually love to do is be a country that is anti-American and go after health influencers in the United States and have those health influencers highlight all the ways the United States is poisoning their food, all the carcinogens in the processed food, all the fluoride in the water."

A former intelligence officer outlines how hostile foreign powers would target health and wellness influencers to amplify distrust in U.S. institutions, particularly the FDA, by funding content about food additives, fluoride, and processed foods. The strategy exploits existing health concerns to systematically erode public trust in American regulatory agencies. When asked to allocate $250 million in influence operations, the officer identifies micro-influencers in health and politics as high-value targets already being exploited.
