  • A quote on compulsory vaccination and eugenics attributed to American diplomat Henry Kissinger is circulating on Facebook.

  • There is no evidence that he made such comments.

A former US Secretary of State - the equivalent of the Minister of Foreign Affairs - would he have publicly rejoiced in a decline in population?

A false quote from Henry Kissinger, about "compulsory vaccination", is circulating on social networks in French and English.

“Once the herd has accepted compulsory vaccination, the game is over!

They will then accept anything, "for the greater good," said the diplomat, controversial Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1973. Children can be genetically modified or sterilized - "for the greater good".

"

The message goes on, explaining that "vaccine makers are going to make billions and many of you in this room are investors."

He ends with this conclusion: "We reduce the herd and the herd pays us to provide them with extermination services."

Henry Kissinger is said to have made the remarks during a "conference on eugenics at the World Health Organization" on February 25, 2009.

FAKE OFF

There is no trace of this alleged intervention on the official website listing the speeches of Henry Kissinger.

He made two speeches in 2009, in April and in October.

This statement is not there.

The language used in this false quote is far removed from the language used in his interviews or speeches.

Similarly, there is no report of a WHO summit on eugenics on this date of February 25, 2009. There is also no trace on the website of the international organization.

WHO does not use this term, except to place it in a historical context.

Representatives of the former Secretary of State confirmed to Reuters that the quote is a "complete fabrication".

The only reference to vaccination on the site listing the speeches of Henry Kissinger dates from April 2020. He warned of the risks of upheaval created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"An effective vaccine could arrive within 12 to 18 months," he said.
