- Blogs claim that Bill Gates is being sued in India due to a vaccination campaign.
- These vaccine administrations date from 2009. They were led by PATH, an NGO which benefited from the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
After being accused of being behind the Covid-19 due to an out-of-context 2015 speech, Bill Gates finds himself again in the crossfire. His foundation, which he created with his wife Melinda, is at risk of prosecution in India due to the administration of vaccines to children. This is what blogs report, in articles originally published in 2014 and 2016. These blog posts have been shared for a few days on social networks.
According to these blogs, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation participated in episodes of vaccination of young girls in two Indian states in 2009. The young girls received HPV. Seven of them are said to have died. The foundation is said to be on trial due to these vaccination episodes.
FAKE OFF
The HPV vaccine has been authorized in India since 2008. In 2009 and 2010, PATH, an NGO supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, organized several actions around papillomavirus vaccination in India, as well as in Peru, Vietnam and Uganda. In India, PATH had received approval from the authorities for this project. In this country, 13,791 girls aged 10 to 14 years received three doses of Gardasil in the state of Andara Pradesh. In Gujarat, 9,637 girls received three doses of Cervarix, another vaccine against cervical cancer. The program was stopped in March 2010, after the death of seven participants.
"No common pattern for deaths"
In 2011, a committee examined these deaths to find out if they were linked to the vaccine. He dismisses the track in his conclusions: "After examining the seven deaths (five deaths of PA in the Gardasil group and two deaths of Cervarix in the Gujarat group), it was observed that there is no pattern common to deaths that would suggest they were caused by the vaccine, "notes the committee.
One girl died of drowning after falling into a well, another died of a snake bite. Two others lost their lives from phosphorus poisoning, while a fifth died of malaria and severe anemia. A sixth died after suffering from fever. The committee stresses that "the death is unlikely to be related to the Gardasil vaccine". The seventh died after suddenly having severe headaches and vomiting. There too, the committee ruled out any link with vaccination, the death having occurred 96 days after the last injection and no incident had been noted during this period.
The committee pointed out, however, irregularities in the conduct of the campaign, in particular in obtaining the participants' consent. In 2013, a parliamentary report also highlighted these irregularities.
The Indian government has not sued PATH. In 2012, women's rights activists had however petitioned the Supreme Court of India regarding the right granted to two manufacturers to distribute the HPV vaccine in India.
According to the WHO, "cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women around the world." The organization recommends vaccination as one of the methods to decrease the prevalence of these types of cancers.
