Did a Gates Foundation "insider" say that depopulation drugs had been injected into U.S. fast food to sterilize most of the world? No, that's not true: The People's Voice, the website that made this claim, provided no proof that someone associated with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had made any comments about depopulation drugs or fast food. The site, which has a long history of publishing fake quotes, has a liability disclaimer that seeks to absolve The People's Voice of any responsibility for the reliability or accuracy of its information. No credible media outlets have reported any comment about depopulation drugs by a Gates Foundation "insider."
The claim appeared in an article published by The People's Voice on October 17, 2023. Titled "Gates Foundation Insider Admits Depopulation Drugs Are Pumped Into Fast Food Meals" (archived here), the story alleged:
The US food supply has been flooded with depopulation drugs with the intention of quietly and deceitfully sterilizing the majority of the human race, according to a Gates Foundation insider who has admitted that Bill Gates' mRNA vaccines, mosquitoes and food production are part of a multi-pronged eugenics attack on the human race.

The article does not describe or show any quotes or details from an "insider" making the claim about Gates and vaccines or mosquitoes or fast food. The 10-minute 42-second video embedded in the article shows a person reading the story verbatim. There is no other information from an "insider" about the Gates Foundation or proof that anyone made any such comments.
A Google search for the phrase "Gates Foundation insider who has admitted that Bill Gates' mRNA vaccines, mosquitoes and food production are part of a multi-pronged eugenics attack on the human race" did not yield any relevant results from the thousands of reliable news site it indexes (archived here).
An embedded image of a supposed tweet by Gates, also used in the video, is fake:
