The post refers to the video shared by Russian-language Facebook page \u0420\u0430\u0434\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0438 \/ The joy of life<\/a>\u00a0 on April 24, 2020 as its source.<\/p>\n Facebook page Georgian Tik-Tokers actually spreads a conspiracy video. The claims as if people will get a lethal injection instead of the coronavirus vaccine and world population will decline artificially lack evidence. Moreover, a brief footage featuring Bill Gates talking about the new pandemic has been torn out of context and used manipulatively. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The claims voiced in the video as if virus mutations and its lethal strains will be blamed for mass mortality are backed up by a brief fragment from the interview with Bill Gates, where a reporter asks Gates how the world will change because of the pandemic. Gates responds that people will take warnings about other pandemics more seriously. This brief fragment from the interview cannot serve as an argument for any conspiracy theory voiced in the video. Gates gave the interview<\/a> to German Tagesthemen on April 12, 2020 and it has nothing to do with \u201clethal vaccines,\u201d mutated strains and depopulation plans.<\/p>\n In the interview, Bill Gates spoke about global challenges persisting at the initial stage of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the importance of cooperation. He noted that he warned the world about the possibility of global pandemic and unpreparedness of healthcare systems back in 2015. As for the reporter\u2019s question voiced in Georgian Tik-Toker\u2019s video, Gates made hopeful predictions about the future:<\/p>\n Bill Gates:<\/strong> \u201cI think, warning about \u2018let\u2019s get ready for the next pandemic\u2019 will be taken quite seriously and so, the rapid diagnostics, drugs, vaccines will have their preparedness and the platforms [created during the coronavirus pandemic] would be beneficial to the existing diseases\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There is no evidence to prove that any COVID-19 vaccine or generally vaccines are lethal injections that will cause mass mortality with time.<\/p>\n This conspiracy theory<\/a> emerged amid misinterpretation of various public speeches by Bill Gates, where the latter talks about population growth control and the role vaccines play in this process. But in fact, \u201cslowing population growth\u201d does not imply causing mortality artificially through vaccines or drugs. Gates noted that vaccines will become available, child mortality will decline and more children will survive and when more children survive, parents will choose to have a number of children they can support, send them to school and take care about their health. Ultimately, it will become a precondition for overcoming poverty and improving living standards. Moreover, it will reduce birth rates and the speed of world population growth will decrease.<\/p>\n Below we offer Myth Detector\u2019s articles about conspiracy theories related to depopulation:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What do we know about safety of the coronavirus vaccines?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In November 2020, three vaccine manufacturers – Pfizer\/BioNTech, Moderna and Oxford\/AstraZeneca announced about successful completion of phase three clinical trials of the coronavirus vaccine. By the end of phase three clinical trials and after testing the vaccine on tens of thousands of volunteers, RNA-based vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna showed<\/a> 95% protection, while the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford under traditional technology \u2013 70% efficacy. From December 2020, several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom launched the vaccine approval process. A UK citizen became the first person<\/a> in the world to be given the Pfizer COVID-19 jab on December 8. The first COVID-19 vaccination involving risk groups started in the United States<\/a> on December 14. Later on December 31, 2020, the World Health Organization<\/a> issued its first emergency use validation for Pfizer\u2019s RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n Despite accelerated development, the above listed vaccines went through all necessary phases<\/a> of trials and showed high efficacy and safety. As for human trials, vaccine safety was tested on thousands of volunteers and none of these vaccines caused serious complications and side effects. \u00a0 Scientists continue to closely monitor people who have been vaccinated, to quickly identify any potential side effects. Due to safety considerations<\/a>, anyone who has a severe allergy to any of the Pfizer\/BioNTech vaccine ingredients should not receive this vaccine.<\/p>\n The process of vaccination launched in various countries has prompted the spread of disinformation about its side effects and deaths.

On January 5, 2021, Facebook page Georgian Tik-Tokers shared a Russian-language video. The video involves a scenario about how things will develop after the coronavirus vaccine is approved. According to the video, world population will decline to one billion as part of the plan to establish the world government.
