The various shots fail to stop infection or stop spread, and their effects, by creating huge amounts of cytotoxic spike protein, are to kill off people or sterilize them at an early age...
I'll bet the WEF and the corporations and governments which comprise it *do* listen to him, at least now - if not before. If you make predictions - or set out general scenarios - 50 years ago - and current data and trends pretty closely track those predictions and scenarios, then that's the best evidence that you've got a good model.

This is classic Malthus. I would suggest that you review the bet between Erlich and Julian Simon. The difference between a doom-an-gloom vision of the world and a more realistic view of things is attitude. The Rational Optimist is a good read for those who lean toward negativity. As to the Population Bomb, Erlich prediction world wide famine to take place about 30 to 40 years ago. He was wrong then and he's wrong now, except that politics might lead to famine. I don't buy the chicken little scenario. The sky is not falling.
"The exponential increase in use of Earth resources has led to a huge rise in the standard of living for some segments of the population, chiefly in the industrial world, and
the hope for a better standard of living by many others. But the rapid exploitation or
resources since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution coupled with continued population increase cannot continue. The globalization of commerce and trade by use of oil has led to the worldwide exploitation of mineral and energy resources by the industrialized and industrializing countries, in effect, “the tragedy of the commons” (Hardin, 1969) in its ultimate final form. The
decline of oil production will in turn result in the return of local economies forced to
exist on more locally available resources, as has been the circumstance during much of
human history. This will greatly remake our economies and lifestyles from what we know
today. This profoundly important fact is discussed again in its various aspects in subsequent chapters. With the huge population growth made possible by advances in medicine and sanitation, and greatly increased food production largely a benefit of fossil fuels, the finite
Earth resources are under unprecedented stress. In 1700, world population is estimated to
have been about 610 million. It is now seven billion and increasing every day. This huge
increase in population and the related increase in resource consumption are the salient
facts of the past three centuries.
Population growth is the force that drives resource consumption. As we view the
present and look towards the future, this is the overriding challenge to a sustainable and
acceptable future. Due to differences in living standards, some populations (in industrialized countries) use more resources per capita than other populations. In some places local
populations are so desperate to survive they destroy the environment with present use and
cannot preserve it to sustain future population. In general, population growth and the
environment are in direct conflict. In terms of resource use per capita, whether it is large

I can't believe that Paul Erlich is still around or that anybody listens to him. I can never forgive The Population Bomb.
