We’ll be making our video archive available on Substack, with the first of several layers of backups spread across Odysee, Bitchute and Rumble. We encourage everyone to make their own local copies.
Through 2020 on, this short clip was widely circulated and then widely censored.
The clip is from a 2010 TED Talk with Bill Gates advocating for a reduction to zero carbon emissions, cheekily repeating how “one of these numbers is gonna have to come pretty near to zero” as the backdrop shows an equation with “P” for people highlighted.
Immediately after saying that, he expresses a desire to lower population growth with vaccines.
The full quote (emphasis mine):
“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, healthcare, reproductive health services - we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”
Watch the short clip for yourself right here on Substack or on Odysee, Bitchute, or Rumble.

So called fact checkers like Politifact categorically state that Bill Gates “didn’t say that”.
Watch the videos and make up your own mind.
Politifact accuses people of peddling misinformation, while themselves running cover for Gates by framing the quote to mean the population would start having significantly less children on account of better access to the miracle of vaccination. The idea being that population growth is out of control in no small part due to people deliberately having more children to make up for high child mortality rates:
Bill Gates and Melinda Gates have repeatedly said that increased access to vaccines and health care around the world would reduce child mortality and allow families to decide to have fewer children. That would slow the population growth rate.
There’s so much wrong with that, but whichever way you prefer to interpret the clip - there is no escape from the fact that the stated objective is a 15% reduction. What they’re doing here is drawing people’s attention away from the simple fact that maybe, just maybe, it’s despicable either way, and keeping people fighting over “what he meant”.
I’m sure Politifact, that accepts donations from Bill Gates (archive: 1, 2, 3) is completely unbiased.
There’s a lot more to say about Politifact and others like it. For now, I’ll wrap this up here as this post is really just to archive that short clip. I hope you found it enjoyable.
