"The only remedy for the plague is honesty."
Albert Camus, The Plague (1947)
"I am the author of a vaccine, but I cannot claim that it is perfectly, completely harmless. Before stepping on infections in this way, we should ask people: do they want to go down this road? Do they know the pros and cons? As you wish, but the obligation to preserve life gives us one right to know. And I don't yet know which is better...".

"There are 6.8 billion people in the world today. That number will increase to about 9 billion. Now, if we really do a great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we'll reduce it by maybe 10 or 15 percent."
Bill Gates is head of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, founder of the GAVI Alliance (Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization) in partnership with the World Bank, WHO and vaccine manufacturers.
Vaccination was first used in 1796 by English physician Edward Jenner. He inoculated a village boy and his son with the cowpox virus.
This first vaccination was the beginning of the triumphant march of vaccination around the world. Today, hundreds of millions of dollars are devoted to the development and production of vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies are giving people more and more drugs to end infections around the world forever. The media sing their hallelujah. But in the meantime, there are other facts to show that things are not looking so rosy.
To begin with, Jenner (the pioneer of vaccination) observed the disease for 30 years (!) before he decided to experiment. He explicitly stated that vaccinations would be given only in case of danger and only to a person in contact with a sick person.
