Bill Gates Talks About Vaccines to Reduce World Population
Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates, projects an image of a benign philanthropist using his billions via his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to tackle diseases, solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a recent conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his philanthropy—population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics.

Gates made his remarks to the invitation-only Long Beach, California TED2010 Conference, in a speech titled, “Innovating to Zero!.” Along with the scientifically absurd proposition of reducing manmade CO2 emissions worldwide to zero by 2050, approximately four and a half minutes into the talk, Gates declares, "First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." (author’s emphasis).

In plain English, one of the most powerful men in the world states clearly that he expects vaccines to be used to reduce population growth. When Bill Gates speaks about vaccines, he speaks with authority. In January 2010 at the elite Davos World Economic Forum, Gates announced his foundation would give $10 billion (circa €7.5 billion) over the next decade to develop and deliver new vaccines to children in the developing world. The primary focus of his multi-billion dollar Gates Foundation is vaccinations, especially in Africa and other underdeveloped countries. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a founding member of the GAVI Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccinations and Immunization) in partnership with the World Bank, WHO and the vaccine industry. The goal of GAVI is to vaccinate every newborn child in the developing world.

Now that sounds like noble philanthropic work. The problem is that the vaccine industry has been repeatedly caught dumping dangerous—meaning unsafe because untested or proven harmful—vaccines onto unwitting Third World populations when they cannot get rid of the vaccines in the West. Some organizations have suggested that the true aim of the vaccinations is to make people sicker and even more susceptible to disease and premature death.

3. Overpopulation is the biggest killer the planet faces. He's right and I'm glad he is speaking out.

The author of that anti-Bill screed appears biased and prone to misunderstanding as a result. I wonder if they used their iPhone to write the hit piece.

14. Ding ding ding!
Exactly. It's not based on reducing overall population (i.e. killing off large chunks of people) but slowing birthrates by reducing the need to have 6 or 8 children. We know that better education and healthcare reduce birthrates and make life, generally speaking, better for people. I'm amazed that anti-vaxxer nuttery has become so anti-human and anti-enlightenment.

7. A pregnancy vaccine would be awesome.
I've long wondered why such a thing doesn't exist. Innoculate little girls or boys (depending on which way the science goes), so that their bodies are incapable of generating babies without an external aid. Make pregnancy an "opt in" experience. Instead of taking a pill to AVOID getting pregnant, you would take a pill to temporarily fire up the equipment so you COULD get pregnant.

Unintentional pregnancies would drop to near-zero, teen pregnacy would vanish, and world populations would rapidly stabilize.

13. Actually, he did not say that...
He said...
new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent."

and Where eugenics is defined as...
the study of methods of improving genetic qualities by selective breeding (especially as applied to human mating)

As far as I could see he was not intending to reduce the population of third world countries to create some pure race. Selective breedings is not selective and inaccurate use of quotes.
