I need to debunk a guys claim that Bill Gates experimented on kids in Africa with vaccines.

I believe that Candace Owens may be the source of this BS, but would appreciate
any information anyone has. TIA

If you want to do experiments with vaccines and medical technology, you can do so here, with willing volunteers.

The logistics of putting all these experimental centers in Africa and implanting secret clinical researchers that nobody other than Candace Owens knows about there wouldn't be as efficient as volunteers here.
