Prominent Nigerian pastor, Chris Oyakhilome, faces accusations of disseminating false information regarding malaria vaccines.
The BBC report scrutinizes Oyakhilome’s misinterpretation of a 2010 TED talk by Bill Gates, where Gates discussed population control through healthcare improvements, not depopulation. Oyakhilome also falsely links the Gates Foundation to a mosquito program aimed at reducing disease transmission.
His history of anti-vaccine rhetoric includes baseless claims about HPV vaccines and COVID-19 misinformation, leading to fines by British regulators. Critics express concern over his influential reach and advocate for regulatory measures.
