So you admit the Chinese have let out a new strain on the world? Then you admit the Chinese are experimenting with it on the whole world! Why would I put part of this in my body? Have you? Do you want to be a guinea pig? Is what you people live for?
I don't know, why would they intentionally let out a new strain when thousands of their own died while killing their economy, how does it make sense? Are you some sort of a naturalist who never ingested any modern medicine without you yourself running clinical trials? Why the sudden skepticism when it comes to vaccines which you didn't have for anything else?
Not too sure about the skepticism. Up to that point, I was having a flu shot every year and I even stopped that.
Fact check: Post misleads on Bill Gates' comment about vaccines, population growth https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...mment-vaccines-population-growth/11527555002/ The claim: Post implies Bill Gates wanted to control global population by killing people with vaccines A March 16 Instagram post (direct link, archive link) uses a meme featuring characters from the Bill & Ted movies to suggest Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has an ulterior motive in promoting vaccinations. "I used to love TED talks. Then I saw the one where Bill Gates did one and said there were too many people on the planet. And the only way to fix that was with a sudden rush of new vatccines (sic)," the post reads. "That ted talk was in 2010. Glad I never took that bogus shot, dudes." The post was liked more than 50 times in four days. Our rating: Missing context The implied claim is wrong. Gates did say in a 2010 TED talk that vaccinations could play a role in slowing population growth. However, he has encouraged vaccinations because they reduce child mortality and data shows that birth rates decrease when children are more likely to survive into adulthood. Vaccinations intended to save lives In his talk, "Innovating to zero!" Gates discussed eliminating carbon dioxide emissions. In the presentation, he noted that population growth was one of several factors driving carbon usage. "The world today has 6.8 billion people," Gates said. "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 could lower that by, perhaps, 10% or 15%." While the social media post implies vaccines can be used to reduce the population by killing people, USA TODAY has repeatedly debunked notions that COVID-19 vaccinations kill people, and that Bill Gates is part of a conspiracy to depopulate the planet. Opponents of vaccinations have twisted data to falsely claim COVID-19 shots caused all 1.1 million excess deaths recorded in 2019 in the U.S. A study from the Commonwealth Fund estimated COVID-19 vaccines saved more than 3 million lives nationwide. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has supported global vaccination campaigns for a number of diseases in developing countries. It reported in its 2017 annual letter that 122 million children's lives were saved over a 25-year span through healthcare initiatives that included its support of vaccination development and distribution. Gates did not elaborate on his vaccination remark during his TED talk, but he has repeatedly linked reducing child mortality to slowing population growth. In January 2010, weeks before his talk, the Gates Foundation pledged to increase its spending on vaccines to combat child mortality. USA TODAY also debunked a social media claim last year that focused on Gates's population comment. As noted then, the foundation's 2014 annual letter pointed out that women in areas with poor health care tend to have more children because of a higher mortality rate. It cited research showing that as child mortality rates dropped in countries with improving health care, so did the birth rate. "When children are well-nourished, fully vaccinated and treated for common illnesses like diarrhea, malaria and pneumonia, the future gets a lot more predictable," reads the annual letter. "Parents start making decisions based on the reasonable expectation that their children will live." In a video attached to the foundation's 2018 letter, Gates said that "as health improves, families choose to have less children." A chart in the video showed an inverse relationship between the improvement of health care and the annual growth rate of the world population. In a 2011 Forbes article, Gates said his foundation pivoted to spending more on vaccines after he saw data showing that birth rates fall and population growth stabilizes when mortality rates in a society fall below 10 deaths per 1,000 people. "It goes against common sense," he said. USA TODAY reached out to the social media user who shared the claim for comment.

And the lies just keep pouring on. Maybe, GWB should try and work for the New York Times. They have openings for cut and paste, BS artists. See, how karma works? The biggest liars are getting it in huge doses of the vaccine and booster shots. Don't worry ET trolls, GWB guarantees you are all safe.

Let's see the latest crap being pushed by demented anti-vaxxers. Fact check: Video of fainting doctor in China predates COVID-19 vaccine https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...doctor-predates-covid-19-vaccine/11524269002/ The claim: Video shows Australian surgeon having a stroke after three COVID-19 vaccine doses A video shared on Twitter shows a person dressed in scrubs and a surgical mask collapsing in what appears to be an operating room. "Triple jabbed Australian surgeon stroking out mid-surgery," reads the March 20 tweet's caption (direct link, archive link) from far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters. "Again, this is apocalyptic." A link to the tweet was shared on Facebook more than 100 times in two days, according to Crowdtange, a social media analytics tool. Our rating: False The video predates the COVID-19 vaccine and was filmed in China, not Australia. Video predates COVID-19 vaccine The video of the doctor fainting was reported on by a Chinese media outlet in January 2020, well before Chinese officials approved a COVID-19 vaccine for the public in December 2020. A translated version of the January 2020 article says the doctor fainted due to hypoglycemia and fatigue. While experimental doses were available for military personnel and employees of vaccine manufacturer SinoPharm in China in the summer of that year, that's still well after the video was captured. So there's no reason to believe the doctor in the video would have had access to three doses of the vaccine by January 2020. A version of the video also circulated on Facebook in 2022. In that case, users wrongly claimed it showed a surgeon dying after being forced to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Fact check: Videos of people collapsing have no connection to COVID-19 vaccines USA TODAY has debunked other inaccurate claims promoted by Peters, including the false claims that the COVID-19 vaccine is made from snake venom and that the war in Ukraine is fabricated. Peters did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The claim was also debunked by Associated Press.

Let's take a look at twisted anti-vaxxers blaming a child's death on the Covid vaccine. HINT: He was not vaccinated. Anti-vaccine advocates mislead on British boy's death https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.33BV2N8 Tweets shared thousands of times suggest the Covid-19 vaccine was responsible for the death of a three-year-old British boy. This is misleading; UK authorities have not approved the shots for children under age five -- and the boy's uncle told media he was suffering from Strep A, which kills an estimated 500,000 people worldwide annually. "DIED SUDDENLY: Boy, 3, 'with no symptoms' dies suddenly while watching cartoons. 'Theo just collapsed with a cardiac arrest,'" says a March 20, 2023 tweet with more than 3,000 shares. Similar posts used the same phrase or #DiedSuddenly, referencing a 2022 film filled with false and misleading claims about Covid-19 shots. Anti-vaccine advocate Steve Kirsch, whom AFP has previously fact-checked for spreading health misinformation, also commented on the case. "Unvaxed 3 year olds never die from cardiac arrest," he said in a March 20 tweet. "The silence from the medical community is inexcusable." The posts reference Theo Emm, who died February 18 while watching cartoons at his family's home in southern England. But there is no evidence the Covid-19 vaccine -- which UK health authorities have not approved for children under age five -- is to blame. Articles linked in the posts say Emm had been suffering from Strep A, which can lead to heart complications. His uncle told The Mirror (archived here) that the boy's parents were too distraught to speak, but that they wanted to raise awareness about the infection. The UK Health Security Agency said in December 2022 that Strep A afflicted more than 2,400 Britons in the 2022-2023 season, causing 319 deaths -- including 40 children. Most cases are mild and resolve with antibiotics or other treatments. But a 2018 study published in Academic Forensic Pathology estimated that Strep A kills up to 1,600 people in the United States and 500,000 globally every year. Strep A is a "common human pathogen that causes disease in everyone and anyone from the very young to very old and the overall healthy to the chronically ill," the authors said. An invasive, more toxic strain of Strep A has caused a recent spike in infections and deaths among children in North America, Europe and Australia. Public health authorities have not identified the disease as a potential side effect of Covid-19 vaccination. AFP has previously fact-checked claims that vaccination played a role in the deaths of a former hockey star, Canadian doctors, athletes, pilots, a sports journalist and a South Korean influencer.
