A Canadian author shared a video of Bill Gates discussing COVID-19 vaccines with the accusation that the billionaire philanthropist is “big on depopulation,” insinuating that COVID-19 vaccines are part of a depopulation plan. The video has been viewed over 1.3 million times and the post received thousands of engagements. Far from being tools for depopulation, COVID-19 vaccines have been safely administered to over two-thirds of the global population and saved millions of lives in the process.

The conspiracy theory that vaccines are part of a depopulation plan has persisted for decades and has been used by bad actors to discourage vaccination. In some cases, as with Black and brown communities in the United States, concerns regarding medical experimentation are understandable. Unethical and immoral medical experimentation, including drug testing, has occurred in the past and requires vigilance to prevent today. Experts agree that depopulation conspiracies can only be combated by first acknowledging that serious abuses have occurred and then explaining what safeguards exist now. Emphasizing that COVID-19 vaccine development is a global effort, with more people enrolled in research and clinical trials than ever before for any other type of vaccine, is recommended.
