It is extremely dubious if someone turns up with a "Knight in shining armor" plan for saving the world. It would be safe to say that outsiders who are not a part of the "plan" do not have all the information to figure out the true motive behind these initiatives. It is also safe to say that direct or indirect monetary profit is almost always behind such initiatives.

First it was monsanto exploiting farmers http://www.globalresearch.ca/independent-india-selling-out-t...

Then came Bill Gates with his vaccines and testing them on tribal children just because the regulatory environment makes it easier to test them in India https://vactruth.com/2014/10/05/bill-gates-vaccine-crimes/

And now comes Mr. Zuckerberg with dubious claims about "one person brought out of poverty for every five people who get access to internet" which seems to be a textbook causation-correlation misinterpretation.

The general public must awaken to the fact that the so called third world is seen as a market with potential for double digit growth and the easiest way to enter them might just be through false pre-texts of heart warming charity.

I suspect a website called vactruth may not be the most impartial website around.

I agree. CNN may be? http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1170073

That's not CNN. That's an "iReport", which anyone can post. This one was posted by an anti-vaxxer called "VaccineThis". Zero credibility. http://ireport.cnn.com/people/VaccineThis

Ah. My bad. It says "Not verified by CNN" clearly on the side pane and within the image. I just jumped straight to the main content. I agree with you that the post does not have much in the way of credibility. Thank you for pointing out and apologies for wasting your time.

No problem. The iReport thing is perfect for polemicists and conspiracy theorists, as it means they can post something and say "look, it's on CNN" and many people will miss the disclaimer. If anything is about vaccines I always check sources very carefully, as there is so much misinformation out there.

About this iReport Not verified by CNN

Doesn't meant it is not true, but I am not sure you can claim that this article is endorsed by CNN.
