Bill Gates vaccine death prediction

RecordOBS-0564
CategoryHealth/Vaccines
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryA viral claim asserts that Bill Gates admitted a future COVID-19 vaccine would kill 700,000 people. This is a misrepresentation of Gates' remarks about hypothetical side-effect risks in older populations. The claim has been debunked as false.
OriginThe claim circulated on social media in 2020, linked to a video featuring Alex Jones and a tweet with over 45,000 retweets.
Claimed
  • Bill Gates admitted the vaccine will kill 700,000 people.
  • The vaccine is unsafe and will cause mass deaths.
Evidence / consensusGates was discussing hypothetical side-effect rates, not admitting deaths. He said if there were one in 10,000 side-effects, that could affect 700,000 people, but he did not say they would die.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
Another example of context stripping. The hypothetical was turned into an admission, a common tactic in vaccine misinformation.
