The story that Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation were kicked out of India is completely not true. It was something that made the rounds on conspiracy blogs back in 2017, which prompted India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to release a statement saying, quote, Some media reports have suggested that all health-related collaboration with the Gates Foundation with the National Health Mission has been stopped. This is inaccurate and misleading. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation continues to collaborate and support the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The propaganda around this traces back to India stopping an HPV vaccine trial that the Gates Foundation had a part in funding back in April 2012 after there were reports that seven of the youths in the trial had died. subsequent investigations found that the deaths were not related to the vaccine from science magazine quote one girl drowned in a quarry another died from a snake bite two committed suicide by ingesting pesticides and one died from complications of malaria investigators deemed the other two deaths unlikely to have been related to the vaccine but not as easily ruled out as the other five it's still very sad but yeah it's not from the vaccine. This is just absolutely fake propaganda narrative that Alex probably read on some dumb conspiracy blog he thinks is credible, and now he's repeating to his audience as fact. That's the level of work Alex brings to the table, because he's dumb, layup, Also, I think he's just making up the part about Pakistan. Because in September 2019, Philanthropy News Digest reported that, quote, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Pakistan and will commit approximately $200 million in support of the AHAIS initiative, a comprehensive effort aimed at combating poverty and improving health, nutrition, and financial inclusion in that country. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, said, quote, I'm pleased that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will assist with a range of activities, including accelerating stunting reduction programs, supporting financial inclusion initiatives, and investing in public health systems to improve health and reduce maternal, newborn, and child mortality. So this one, the claim that Bill Gates was kicked out of Pakistan, just seems like a demonstrable lie that Alex is making up on the spot in order to malign his imagined enemy.

So that speaker, she's giving an intro to another speaker, and the explanation here is that she misspoke. The Gates group is, it's not called the Institute for Population Control. It's the Institute for Population and Reproductive Health. This has become a bit of a stupid conspiracy online, all based on that little clip, apparently initially publicized by Adam Curry, who sucks. The most obvious explanation is that the speaker misspoke, but apparently, that's just what Sheepo would say. The internet sleuths have been trying to find evidence that the name of the Gates group is, you know, it was originally called the Population Control, Institute for Population Control, but literally all evidence except that clip says that it's the Institute for Population and Reproductive Health. In order to make sense of this lack of evidence, the new claim is that the Gates people have completely scrubbed the internet of any proof that their group was originally called the Institute for Population Control. But they scrubbed that video. That's right. The complete lack of evidence that the claim they're making is true is only evidence of a complete cover-up of the evidence that would prove their claim to be true. That's very convenient. This is why there's really no hope against this current type of conspiracy thinking. It's just too resilient. There's a conclusion that they want to arrive at, and any suggestion of supporting evidence or even the mysterious absence of supporting evidence, that's good enough to be considered proof. I'm just not sure there's any way to work with that level of disconnection from reality outside of one-on-one therapy. Like, I'm not convinced that education would penetrate that. No, there's nothing that can penetrate that. It seems tough. That is what it is. Yeah. So that video is the smoking gun. And even if they were called the Institute for Population Control, that doesn't indicate depopulation. No. Even if that were true, it doesn't match what Alex is saying. No. And that's not the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That's just something that they funded at Johns Hopkins.
