En 2008, Bill Gates parlait déjà à Klaus Schwab de réduire la population mondiale en diminuant le taux de mortalité lié aux maladies.
Publisher’s rating: Il s'agit d'une mauvaise interprétation des propos tenus par Bill Gates. Ce dernier a fait part de sa volonté de réduire le nombre de décès liés à certaines maladies dans les pays en voie de développement, notamment à travers la vaccination. Selon lui, endiguer le taux de mortalité a aussi pour effet de ralentir la croissance démographique, ce qui peut avoir un impact positif sur la société.
