Actually Fred, although I am no fan WHATSOEVER of Bill Gates and his "health agenda," I watched that TED talk by Gates the other day and here's what I heard: Gates did say population control using vaccines but in context I think he was verbally "short-handing" something like this --
women (presumably in the developing world) who are having a lot of children will have less children if they use birth control and vaccinate the children that they do have so that presumably those children will live longer and maybe women won't continue having more
Look, I know that sounds like a lot of words to put in his mouth, but in fairness, I think people often speak "in lists" and assume that their audience understands the general message. I think getting "overly literal" here is really to misconstrue what he was communicating at the time.
Frankly it could be that Bill just isn't all that bright. He just has a lot of money and a huge ego to sway things in very bad directions. To me he seems mainly about 1) worldwide population reduction through birth control and 2) a "true believer" in every form of vaccination proven or not.
But if he really cared about health, he would have used his wealth to make sure that every village in Africa had clean water. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
So bottomline, we agree Gates does want less people on the planet, but not, I think, by killing them with a vaccine.
