Gate Promotes Mandatory Vaccines for All?

I always love how the innovative individuals of yesteryear become the fascist supporters of today -

“The key thing, the most important fact that people should know and make sure other people know: As you save children under 5, that is the thing that reduces population growth,” he said. “That sounds paradoxical. The fact is that within a decade of improving health outcomes, parents decide to have less children.”

The number of children who die before their fifth birthday has already dropped from 20 million in 1960 to 8.5 million today, a statistic Gates attributes mostly to vaccination.

“About one-third [of that improvement] is by increasing income,” Gates said. “The majority has been through vaccines. Vaccines will be the key. If you could register every birth on a cell phone — get fingerprints, get a location — then you could [set up] systems to make sure the immunizations happen.”

Gates suggested using cell phones to record each birth and send the information, including biometric identifiers, to a central database. This database would then send reminders to parents’ phones when it was time to come in for vaccines or other treatments. He said a prime location to implement such programs would be northern Nigeria or northern India, where vaccination rates are less than 50 percent.

The Real Effect
So, we are to believe several things if we listen to Gates:

1. Population growth is an inherently bad thing.
2. Vaccination is saving children. (Despite a virtual void of evidence indicating this point)
3. Therefore the answer to the problem is to probably force consumers to get not only his technology but his health care solutions as well?

Uh, no sir. The answer is to allow the individual consumer to make these choices, not foist up oligarchical/aristocratic control mechanisms. Has the current economic plight demonstrated in say, Detroit, taught you nothing?
