Henry Kissinger quote about forced vaccinations
Publisher’s rating: False.
Related reporting reproduces the same quote at issue, attributing it to Henry Kissinger at the “WHO Council on Eugenics on February 25, 2009.” The passage includes the claim that “Once the herd accepts compulsory vaccinations, it’s game over” and continues with remarks about forced blood or organ donation, modifying and sterilizing children, and vaccine manufacturers’ profits. But this excerpt does not establish that Kissinger said those words or that the cited meeting took place as described. It presents the passage as material from a Telegram post, rather than supplying a recording, transcript, contemporaneous report, or other evidence that would authenticate the speaker, setting, or wording. The page also cautions that social-media material it quotes “may or may not be true” and says it is not reporting such information as fact. Thus, this related source documents circulation of the attribution, not proof of its authenticity.
