Original Note:
Bill Gate is not considered an extinctionist. Bill Gates in 2010 said that improving health outcomes via vaccines and maternal health tends to lower birth rates, as healthier children often lead families to have fewer kids. This quote has often been misinterpreted. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/03/23/fact-check-post-misleads-bill-gates-comment-vaccines-population-growth/11527555002/ https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/bill-gates-quoteabout-vaccines-and-population-growth-has-beentaken-out-of-cont-idUSL1N2MF1L8/ https://www.factcheck.org/2021/03/scicheck-video-targets-gates-with-old-clip-misleading-edit/
