Dear ol' Gohmert showing yet again that honesty, brains and clarity of reasoning are no requirement for high political office - "scary" that liberal elites would use vaccines to cull population
Of course this mainly goes back to Bill Gates saying back in 2008 or 09 that vaccines could cause a drop in population by 10-15% - Gates went on to explain that this would be due to reduced birthrates as more children survived, but the CT-industry didn't bother anyone with that caveat, and apparently the canard still has traction in some circles!

Vaccines are to keep people healthy right? Well if people are healthier they live longer right? So if Gates is saying vaccines will reduce the population that means the opposite of the purpose of vaccines???????
So what's your point?
The best way to reduce population growth is by increasing standards of living and healthcare, especially reproductive care and contraception. As a general rule, the better educated, the more industrialized and the greater the standard of living of a society, the lower the rate of population growth. This is where vaccination comes in, because vaccines don’t just directly save lives, but also result in a lot less people suffering from non-fatal, but extremely unpleasant illness. Diseases are very expensive for a society. Every time someone gets sick they can’t work to their full capacity or can’t work at all. They may be occupying a hospital bed and the time of a physician, which could have been used to care for someone else.
Therefore:
Greater vaccination -> less diseases -> less stress on the healthcare system -> better healthcare
and
Greater vaccination -> less diseases -> less economic loss from disease -> better economics
and
Greater vaccination -> less diseases -> less people suffering, less disabled persons, less pain -> higher average standard of living
All of the above contribute to reduced birth rates.
