I can’t detect much of depopulation in the so called third world countries / global south as of now
Depopulation is difficult and expensive. Think of how hard it would be to prevent some poor people in India from breeding. Even if you tried to kill them, people adapt. If you cut off food supply to some area, people would learn from that and adapt, and possibly rebel. From what I've seen in India, a one child policy would not work as well as it did in China.
With the main goal being power, it would make sense not to try to depopulate until it could be successfully done. And, there are a number of considerations on that:
1. if you look at some place like Africa, the food aid prevents the rise of local farmers. I expect this allows limiting population growth. Provide just enough food to prevent farmers from being able to be financially viable, but not enough food to feed everyone. The point here is, depopulation efforts are not usually going to be apparent.
2. the way to sweepingly decrease population would require a very large amount of control. Control all the farms, the resource distribution, such that if you shut these things down, people wouldn't have other options. But even that doesn't make a lot of sense from a power perspective unless you have set up government food aid to save all the selected people you want.
3. perhaps one of the most amusing ways for population control is to make everyone infertile without some sort of medical intervention. I forget the B sci fi movie, but there was a movie where everyone needed to get licenses to have children, and failing to get a license resulted in jail (in some off world penal colony). And, as presented in the movie, the problem is people still have kids against the law. If they couldn't have kids, that would be easier to manage. And, there's a lot of info about fertility rates dropping.
But, even with all that, depopulation appears to be a side item. The main goal has always been accumulation of power/control. Even if the vax is in part a depopulation ploy through decrease in fertility, it is very much also, and more evidently so, a control and profit ploy.
