The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed millions of dollars to research treatments and vaccines for COVID-19 as the pandemic continues to spread across the globe.
Those endeavors are now fueling a lot of conspiracy theories.
Of course even Bill Gates made some strange comments that fueled those conspiracy theories.
Back in March he said, the country needs to go much further with a longer, coordinate shutdown to effectively turn back the spread of the disease.
“We’re entering to a tough period that if we do it right we’ll only have to do it once, for six to 10 weeks. It has to be the whole country,” Gates said. “We have to raise the level of testing and the prioritization of that testing quite dramatically in order to make sure we go through one shut down so that we take the medical problem and really stop it before there’s a large number of deaths.”
And a lot of Americans were not ready then and are not ready now to lose their freedom over Bill Gates’ personal opinion.
And while this Coronavirus hysteria was shacking the world, tech giant stocks were rising.
Things got strange when on Monday news broke that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust placed big bets on technology titans in the first quarter, according to a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Business Insider reported: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust placed big bets on technology titans in the first quarter, according to a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
The trust, which manages the assets of the world’s largest private foundation, revealed new positions in Apple, Amazon, Google-parent Alphabet, Alibaba, and Twitter. Its stakes in the first four were valued between $100 million and $130 million each on March 31, while its Twitter holdings were worth about $7 million.
The trust also revealed a $301 million stake in Schrodinger following the drug-discovery software group’s public debut in February. The only other change to its portfolio was the sale of five million Berkshire Hathaway shares, representing 10% of its stake in Warren Buffett’s conglomerate.
The philanthropist recently said his foundation is giving “total attention” to the pandemic, and expects to spend billions constructing vaccine factories.
“And while this Coronavirus hysteria was shacking the world, tech giant stocks were rising.”
Shacking the world? Are there no editors anymore?
Gates coordinated Event 201’s networking of NGOs, academia, and multinational globalist corporations to get onboard an extended shutdown approach.
NEVER before has the world done this. NEVER.
Even when people wore masks in 1918 they didn’t stop sports, office work, factory production, trips to the beach, school, trips to the old folks home...
I think the scariest part is that everyone complied.
“Not with a bang, but a whimper.”
Those tech giants have been doing well for basically the entire 21st century. They’re good investments.
Really blindsided me.
I’d always believed that 2 industries that would always be safe would be bartender and barber. People always drink, especially in tough times and hair always grows.
Both got shut down, then again the ability of the government to strip your license for non-compliance has to be intimidating.
Surprised that with “curbside service” customers were even permitted to walk around in grocery stores for weeks/months.
How many years has Twitter been profitable?

I let a chef cut my hair.
Longest hair since 1997...
For some people there is no such thing as ENOUGH
Profitability and stock price decoupled in the 90s. Actually when they hit profitability their stock price dipped. That’s how little one plays into the other. It’s a good stock to have.
Actually, it’s a pretty appropriate slip, if it was a slip at all.
Shacking: To live, room, or stay at a place.
If Adolph Hitler had a foundation.

Hitler saying to himself. "Why didn't I think of that!?"
Spell check has become the only editor on a LOT of posts.
I am sure the author originally meant “shackling”. Rookie mistake.
But sometimes great truths are revealed in apparent Freudian slips of the typing process.
Turning the entire world into a third-world “shack” also works.
CRISPR technology is a game changer, editing your very God-Given blueprint. Who trusts the Satan Worshipping elite with this power?
