Controversial vaccine advocate Bill Gates revealed that he plans to hire 3,000 people as part of a new social media unit to spread “good” vaccine information on the big tech platforms.
Speaking during the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Summit, Gates was critical of the purchase of Twitter by fellow billionaire Elon Musk, who has advocated transforming the Big Tech platform into a site where “free speech” is protected.
Instead, Gates, who has been critical of what he sees as bad vaccine information shared online, worried that Musk would not clamp down on messages that he disagreed with.
“How does he feel about something [on Twitter] that says ‘vaccines kill people’ or that ‘Bill Gates is tracking people?'” he asked.
Gates added, “What are his goals for what it ends up being? Does that match this idea of less extreme falsehoods spreading so quickly [and] weird conspiracy theories? Does he share that goal or not?”
As a result, Gates planned to create what CNBC described as a “social media unit” staffed by approximately 3,000 people, that he would use to spread “good messages” about vaccines on social media instead. “The way that you make those platforms spread truth and not crazy stuff, there’s some real invention required there,” he argued.
Gates has been a huge proponent of vaccines, and has funded vaccines for various diseases around the world, including a vaccine for a recent polio outbreak, which had been caused in part by a vaccine that Gates had funded, according to a report from NPR.
The Microsoft founder said that when “trusted leaders” weren’t speaking out about vaccines, then it was “pretty hard” for a platform such as Twitter to counteract that.

I’d laugh my butt off if that ended up being the ONE GROUP Elon banned from Twitter...
trollgates
Bill needs to set a personal goal of shut up.
.
He’s really shadowboxing here, considering Elon is pro vaxx.
Bet this group will spread more than “ Truth” about the vaccine. Elections are coming up this year...
Listen to King Gates, all of you revolting peasants, he will tell you what is and what is not, and you will praise his holy proclamations, and stop whining about freedom of speech.
Count me on Musk’s side in this.
Just because he’s an expert on computer viruses doesn’t mean he’s an experiment the real ones.
The leftists always accuse others of what they are doing themselves.
Well...he’s telling us he is hiring PROPAGANDISTS...
More animated paper clips?
There is NO GOOD VACCINE NEWS.
It is all compost.
We need the same number of middle fingers as dollars Bill Gates has to show him.
Curious timing.
One might get the idea that Gates & 0bama were colluding.
Gee. /s
Safe and effective
Just like the ads, no one will even read them.
It must deeply disturb Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos that they have become second fiddle to Elon Musk.
It’s really nice to see these oligarchs get fuming mad at Musk. The rest of us are snickering that Gates, even with his billions, has been upstaged by a more clever, more intelligent, AND more likeable human being.
Bill Gates has no license to advance medical care advice.
He needs to be put in his place.
