“I knew that vaccines had been used five times in the past to reduce fertility, and I thought that would be a key way of reducing the population,” Dr. Hoffe stated in a recent interview. His comments, shared by Children’s Health Defense on social media, have sparked outrage and concern among health freedom advocates and natural health journalists alike.
Dr. Hoffe’s claims are not without historical precedent. He pointed to instances in Africa, Brazil, Mexico and India where vaccines were allegedly administered under the guise of protecting pregnant women and their babies, but with the covert intent of sterilizing them. “I knew it had been done in Africa. I came from Africa. I knew it had been done there on pregnant women who were told they needed this vaccine to keep their baby safe from tetanus. But actually, it was to sterilize them,” he said.
This practice aligns with broader discussions about immunocontraception—a field of research that explores the use of vaccines to control fertility. A 2018 study published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology highlighted the potential of vaccines to inhibit fertility by targeting reproductive hormones or gametes. While the study framed this as a potential solution for wildlife population management and human contraception, it also raised ethical questions about the misuse of such technology.
Bill Gates, a prominent figure in global health initiatives, has also been scrutinized for his comments on population control. In a 2010 TED Talk, Gates famously stated, “If we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care and reproductive health services, we could lower [the world’s population] by 10 to 15 percent.” While Gates framed this as a natural outcome of improved health and reduced child mortality, critics argue that his words hint at a more deliberate agenda...<<<Read More>>>...
