Has Bill Gates Foundation Been Testing Vaccines on People in India and the African Continent?

While the world waits patiently for a successful vaccine to end the danger of the Coronavirus which has changed human life during the last several months, many people are expressing their concern over the safety of vaccine trials. Some voices are even afraid that this pandemic has been "purposely released" to enable pharmaceutical businesses to make a huge profit.

Amongst the many funding organizations and pharmaceutical companies conducting vaccine trials for COVID-19 and other diseases around the world comes the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has for years faced accusations of testing vaccines on individuals in developing countries and disadvantaged societies, mostly in India and several countries in the African continent.

According to their website, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation proudly states that it has been funding vaccine tests and programs in several countries for over a decade, hoping to help communities overcome several viral diseases such as the HIV virus, also known as AIDS.

However, many online reports have claimed that the Gates Foundation 2010 Human Papilloma Virus vaccine tests have been halted after resulting in several deaths in India. In a 2020 Fact Check report, Reuters cited an investigation into the case, which had concluded that the 7 deaths were not related to the vaccine trial.

“Five were evidently unrelated to the vaccine: One girl drowned in a quarry; another died from a snake bite; two committed suicide by ingesting pesticides; and one died from complications of malaria. The causes of death for the other two girls were less certain: one possibly from pyrexia, or high fever, and a second from a suspected cerebral hemorrhage.”

Yet, the internet is full of other allegations against vaccine trials funded by the Gates Foundation. 

Many of these allegations have regained online interest following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, especially after news outlets reported Bill Gates earlier warning of epidemic outbreaks that could potentially kill millions of people.

Online people have accused the founder of the tech giant Microsoft of "creating the Coronavirus in at attempt to sell vaccines and use them to control people's lives."
