• Bill Gates has rejected a conspiracy theory that he wants a mass vaccination against the coronavirus so he can inject people with microchips.
• When asked on CBS News if it was true, he said: "No. There's no connection between any of these vaccines and any tracking type thing at all. I don't know where that came from."
• There is no evidence connecting Gates to microchips, but several viral articles have made the claims. A May poll also found 44% of Republicans believe the conspiracy theory.
• Gates said some of the theories are "deeply ironic" given his work to promote global health and reduce global deaths and poverty.
• In June, he said it was "almost hard to deny" the conspiracy theories surrounding him and vaccines "because it's so stupid."

Bill Gates has shot down a conspiracy theory that he wants a mass coronavirus vaccine developed so he can use it to plant microchips in people.

The billionaire made the remarks in a Wednesday interview with "CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell," where he was asked about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccine development, as well as the unsubstantiated theory about Gates' motive for wanting a vaccine.

Noting that conspiracy theories have spread about Gates during the pandemic, O'Donnell said: "The posts on social media about you and coronavirus are considered the most widespread coronavirus falsehoods that exist."

She asked: "To be clear, do you want a vaccine so that you can implant microchips into people?"

Gates shook his head and responded: "No. There's no connection between any of these vaccines and any tracking type thing at all. I don't know where that came from."

Phew- we can all rest easy now- liberals never lie- so we can take what he said straight to the bank

[Zathras]

Fake news posting fake news.
Where did they dig up this nonsense?
We are opposed to it because Bill Gates has a track record since the 70’s of stabbing anyone who opposes his agenda.

Even to this day, Microsoft continues to attack anyone who opposes their agenda even if it means loss of sales.

Bill Gates would shoot down a theory that he is a socialist. He is a psycho.

Claim: "Bill Gates wants to use his COVID-19 vaccine to put microscopic tracking chips in everybody."

Bill Gates: "No I don't"

Mainstream Media: "Well that settles it, the claim is completely false!"

I had to wend my way through dozens of “debunking” articles to dig this one up with a search engine:

“The work was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and came about because of a direct request from Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates himself.”

RE: Why is Bill Gates involved in vaccines at all

Why not? He’s an investor with nearly a hundred billion dollars.

Of course he’s not going to come right out and admit it in plain English. Not yet, anyway.
