Wow, all of a sudden I’m an anti-vaccine propagandist for questioning the logic of a statement? Gee, thanks, dude.
Anyway, ever hear of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy?
Just because lower child mortality countries have lower population growth does not mean the former is directly responsible for the latter.
Those are first-world high standard of living countries, where people prefer their advanced “life styles” to raising children (cannot “afford” children). To retain a middle-class living standard with house-ownership, both spouses generally have to work these days, unlike 50 years ago.
I’m sceptical about that Australian study. Perhaps, perhaps not. So much junk gets published today.
“Their conclusion: improved access to contraception and family planning is what’s required.”” Well duh. Contraception and abortion will lower birth numbers. But that’s not the same as reducing child mortality rates.
You still haven’t provided a direct quote from Gates where he wants to use vaccination to ‘cull’ the population.
