My predicted conversation with any conspiracy theorist:
Here's what will happen, if we debate a bit: You'll say "Bill Gates wants to kill half the population, he was chucked out of India, Melinda is a man." I'll ask you for your sources, you'll either say "google it" or "do your own research" or "I don't give links anymore," or « follow the money », or "watch the Corbett report" or you'll just carry on spouting random rubbish.
Then I'll give you my sources, which clearly show you're wrong, but you'll refuse to read (yes READ, not watch, sorry!), saying it's all just biased reports paid by "Big Pharma". Conveniently for you, everything which doesn't go in your sense is sponsored by Bill Gates, including me and anyone else who disagrees with you. Since "almost all media" is apparently funded by Gates (funny how it includes media from every single country in the world), except what's on youtube (which is ironic because it's mainly thanks to him that we're on youtube in the first place), it's impossible to provide you with any evidence. Yet you will ask repeatedly, saying mine isn't good enough without giving any yourself. You will spout on about how evil he is, with lots of CAPITAL LETTERS (you're probably catholic, so I can understand that anyone who promotes contraception is evil to you, since you haven't evolved from the Dark Ages), and completely ignore anything I say. When I ask if at the very least you use Linux and not Windows, you won't reply.
Am I wrong?

@yellow3lantern I agree that the destruction of the environment and industry are the major problem with regards to CO2 emission. The problem is, it's harder to stop people doing things than it is to help people do things. Part of the problem is us, the consumers, and judging by the way we're all glued to our screens most of the time, we're not willing to give up our luxuries. Those who are willing don't comment on youtube because they've had the strength of conviction to leave all that technology behind. So if the consumer wants more (and developing countries being huge potential consumers who want more and more, to be on our level), you have to find other ways of dealing with the problem. One of these is alternative energy sources, which of course Bill Gates talks about in this very video. When people are dying like flies, should you try to help with healthcare, or say "hold on, we'll just sort out all the world's problems first- we'll get to you later"? Remember, curable disease kills more people than malnutrition or famine:

@SAN-yb6yz You've got to look further than just documentaries and interviews if you want to find the truth.All such videos have some bias one way or the other. What's important is finding sources. When someone says "the Italian parliament calls for his arrest", it sounds impressive. Then it turns out the source is just one politician, who makes the same errors as so many out there. Is that the parliament? No, it's not. Fact checked, without passing by CNN.
Was he "banned" from India? As you can see from my post above (with link to Indian government site), no he wasn't. Fact checked, with statement directly from the Indian government, not CNN.
Fact checking is not about watching a documentary. Watch them, sure, but look for the sources they themselves use. If it's a serious video, there will be links.
Did he vaccinate his kids? I don't know: he says yes, some say no. But do those saying no have any proof? No, they don't. It all comes from a supposed ex family doctor, reported by another anonymous doctor at an anonymous event. Just hearsay.
I notice how you use the language of conspirators: "down the rabbit hole", "wake up".... want to add "sheeple", to complete the panoply?
Governments do indeed lie to us constantly, but don't go making that classic mistake of thinking that if something goes against the government discourse it must be true.

@joshuawilliams7653 I agree: the Bible is thousands of years old, even. There have been a number of predicted ends of the world already, none of which actually happened.
When you see how people manage to completely distort the words of Bill Gates, to take an example at random (!) without even translating from one language to another, I'm always amazed to see how people can take the words of the Bible as being gospel truth (pun intended). Multiple authors, multiple translations.... doesn't make it a book I'd follow to the letter, if I were you! If implants were to become common (let's be honest; they do exist), they're more likely to be in the upper arm, not the hand or in the middle of the face. So that's already one detail that doesn't ring true. Only a detail, you might say, but since you're talking about precise details...
Pretty much anything in the Bible can be read how you want to hear it. An example I like to use for that point is this one:
"ye judges of the Earth judge with fear" (sorry, don't know exactly where that is in the Bible I just remember it from school days, but even if it's a false quote, the point will remain the same).
What does that mean to you?
Does it mean that Earthly judges (legal system) should use fear as a tool ....
or does it mean that they should be afraid to judge because only God can do that?

@spacemonkey1776 "adverse reactions" to vaccines does not equal death. You can't just take into account side effects, but also how many would have died if not vaccinated.
Why the long list on the inserts? Like absolutely any medication, they try to cover as many possibilities as they can. Like food; "may contain traces of peanut", even in things that have never been anywhere near a peanut.
Why the immunity from the government? Because when you produce something that will be used by vast numbers of people, there will be some cases of liability established. Of course there will: no vaccine, or any other medication, is 100% safe. Nothing in the World is.So if you vaccinate billions of people, lots will complain. Too many to make it worthwhile making the vaccines. It may only be a tiny proportion of the users, but when it's a tiny proportion of billions, that's still a lot of people.
So no, ten years later "he" hasn't done a very good job of reducing the population if that was the goal.
