Original Note:
The statement that Bill Gates says he wants to “lower the human population to a 1B people” is false and taken out of context. Bill Gates has been a frequent subject of misinformation & conspiracy theories, especially relating to his advocacy for vaccines and global health. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/01/21/fact-check-bill-gates-claim-missing-context-quote-population/6564548001/ https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/bill-gates-didnt-say-he-wanted-to-use-vaccines-to-reduce-the-population/ https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2MF1L8/
