The Bill Gates "population reduction" clip is yet another example of the anti agenda matrix/troofers editing or truncating a quote & using it to mean something it likely didn't. Here's the video the clip came from. I'm going to show you what it really said

So his talk is about reducing CO2. Bullsh1t maybe. But that's not what we're talking about right now. So for the section on population reduction go to 4 min 32 seconds in the video (it's time stamped)

Bill says "the world today has 6.8B people. That's headed up to (meaning forecast to reach) about 9B. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, healthcare, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10% or 15%. But there we see an increase of about 1.3"

So firstly what he's saying is NOT that we could reduce the population by these things, but that we could reduce the projected *increase* in population from 2.2B (9B forecast minus the current 6.8B) to 1.3B (which would mean the total population *increasing* to 8.1B

Now let's look at what he said on how this could be achieved: "with new vaccines, healthcare and reproductive services". Here it is open to interpretation. But I'd say he is linking all these things as good and desirable healthcare (whatever you & I think about them) in his mind>

and saying they as a whole will slow down the population increase. "Reproductive services" (he means contraception) certainly would. Would "improved healthcare" as a whole do that? I don't know. It's possible that as people's health and economic conditions improve they might >

have less children. There does seem to be some evidence of this (see link). How would vaccination do this? Here I think it's harder to answer. Bill is most likely including vaccination in general healthcare improvements hindustantimes.com/health/slowing…

We might disagree that vaccines improve healthcare but that they do is the official view he is promoting here. And that as the link explains better healthcare leads to families having fewer children

So agree or disagree with him, like him or not, that is almost certainly what Bill meant and not how people interpreted and explained the truncated clips that vaccines were going to be used to kill off the population

This isn't me being pro vaccine (I'm not). Or saying that they couldn't or haven't been used to kill people off or sterilise them (that has certainly happened in the past, though intention is hard to prove).

It is me trying to show how what is presented to us within our little anti agenda echo chamber can be every bit as inaccurate and dubious as what is presented by the mainstream

It's important to realise that a huge amount of information we see shared around is either incorrect or has been distorted or misrepresented. The anti agenda matrix is every bit as inaccurate and execrable as the mainstream one. Here's some other examples
