Bill Gates wrote an article titled ‘Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination: The Zero Carbon Solution!’ in 2011, which now cannot be found anywhere.
The article was not written by Mr Gates and is available online. We can find no evidence Mr Gates has written or said anything about killing people through forced vaccines.
Posts claiming to show an old newspaper article written by Bill Gates entitled “depopulation through forced vaccination” are being shared again on social media.
But as we’ve explained before, Mr Gates did not write this and the real article was written based on a quote attributed to him, which appears to have been taken out of context.
The posts show two different images of someone holding up a copy of a newspaper called The Sovereign Independent. The main article on the front page features a photo of Bill Gates next to the headline “Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination: The Zero Carbon Solution!”
An accompanying caption with the posts says: “This woman is holding a newspaper that she has kept since 2011. The paper contains an article by Bill Gates called ‘Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination’, as it will be the most ‘environmentally friendly solution.’ This article can’t be found anywhere now.”
