Science is not a secretive cabal of men in white labcoats and scientists are not a single-minded group of individuals with identical motivations, codes of ethics, and principles of action. Asking if scientists would ever do something is as invalid of a question as asking if blondes would ever do something or whether black people would do something. They are a cross-section of (well-educated) humans. They would act as you could expect anyone to.

I have tried to pick it out of the links, but there seems to be an assumption that the motive is obvious. It isn't to me. Can anybody explain why such elaborate conspiracies would be hatched and controlled? What is the motive, and what is to be gained by the depopulation of Africa, or the decimation of (currently) gay men & women?
To me it violates the law of parsimony (Occam's Razor) and I cannot entertain it.

Racism and discrimination against "deviant" sexualities are powerful motivations.
