Reductions in child mortality rates can lead to parents having less children overall (as they know that the per-child odds of their children making it to adulthood have substantially increased).
That's not said to offer any endorsement of the anti-human mythology of the Warmists. Just a statistical observation.
I read this and laughed “Reductions in child mortality rates can lead to parents having less children overall (as they know that the per-child odds of their children making it to adulthood have substantially increased).”
Do you actually think people having numerous kids in third world countries are trying to have more kids they already can’t feed in case some of them strave to death?
They have kids because they do not have access to birth control or even understand it. These people don’t have large acres of land on which they grow food and therefore need labor. This isn’t the 1800’s
I HOPE though that Gates is referring to a birth control vaccine, not a euthanasia drug
