Don't forget how a US government fueled anti-vaxxing in Pakistan, when the CIA mounted a fake vaccination campaign.

This gave fuel to the anti-vaxxing campaign but does not justify it. It is natural for Pakistanis to feel suspicion of vaccination campaigns after having been lied to once, but that doesn't mean most vaccination campaigns are lies. If they are rational, they will recognize that honest vaccination campaigns are a good thing — then take organized steps to assure the bona fides of each campaign.

Finding Osama bin Laden was of no particular importance for stopping Islamist terrorism. It was not a real victory, only a symbolic one. Large underground movements do not depend crucially on one leader. It is possible that the news of the CIA's fake vaccination campaign boosted al-Qa'ida more than the killing of bin Laden hampered it.

Having found bin Laden, the US should have put him on trial rather than killing him summarily.
