Bill Gates comments on conspiracy theories: "You can hardly deny it ..."

Conspiracy theories imply that Bill Gates wants to serve the world with his corona vaccine. Now he expresses himself with a warning.

• Bill Gates became known as the founder of the software manufacturer Microsoft, capitalist and richest man in the world.
• In the Corona crisis, he is committed to researching a vaccine with a lot of money .
• Conspiracy theorists assume that he has his own perfidious interests in his engagement.

USA / New York - It should be a press briefing about the Gates couple's engagement in the corona crisis . After all, the Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates and his wife Melinda are campaigning with the unimaginable sum of $ 100 million that a vaccine against the coronavirus * will soon be found. But the conversation took an unexpected turn on another topic: conspiracy theories .

Coronavirus crisis: Bill Gates is baffled by the conspiracy theories against him

The benevolent billionaire cannot escape this at the moment. After all, a considerable part of the world's population is against him, including stars, even Germans like Xavier Naidoo or Attila Hildmann. In addition to his commitment to corona research *, the Gates couple has also been supporting research into malaria drugs for some time . But conspiracy theorists have a completely different view.

One of the wildest rumors about Bill Gates: he is actually developing a way to smuggle microchips into people, a kind of control chip . After all, he is concerned with nothing less than world domination. "After the fourth part of the documentary about Bill Gates propaganda," writes an American on Twitter, no one can dismiss that as a conspiracy theory.

A must see 4 part documentary about Bill Gates globalist agenda. Extremely well researched and sourced. Anyone writing this off as a "conspiracy theory" after watching it is in serious denial #EXPOSEBILLGATES https://t.co/Lq905uvPGF

Coronavirus: Bill Gates - capitalist entrepreneur suddenly becomes unselfish?

It is almost fateful irony, reminiscent of a fairy tale. Who believes a wolf that has eaten lambs for a lifetime that it is no longer a wolf? A capitalist entrepreneur who has achieved his monopoly in the industry through harsh methods and has his fingers in various companies around the world suddenly claims to act selflessly. Bill Gate's dilemma can also be used to draw almost philosophical lessons beyond conspiracy theories . Seen objectively, however, he is only one of several victims of different theories *.

The tweet from a German user shows how to convolute conspiracy theories in this country too. "Has Gates already taken a stand? Or does he want to sit out? ”Asks a user.

The most important question I've been asking for days:

Has @BillGates finally commented on the allegations by Attila #Hildmann and Xavier #Naidoo ??? It can't be that the fine gentleman just wants to sit it out !!!!!!

Yes, he has now. The conspiracy theories also leave him unsettled: "It's almost impossible to deny that," he told the New York Post. "Because it is so stupid or strange that the more you repeat it, the more believable it becomes, the more it is repeated." He then also asserts: "I never had anything to do with microchips." you want to laugh about it. But unfortunately it's not funny at all. "

Coronavirus: Bill Gates - "Conspiracy theories are at risk for help from the vaccine"

Especially since recently the results of a related Yahoo survey have been made public. According to this, 44 percent of those who described themselves as Republican voters believed exactly this story about the microchips. Only 26 percent of Republican voters thought the theory was humbug. Only: it doesn't look very rosy for the Democrats. At least 19 percent believed the conspiracy theory to be true.

However, he sees the greatest danger from the conspiracy theories for his target, the vaccine, not for himself. Gates Theory: Assume that he finally has the vaccine *, the help to get back to normal living, celebrate together and go to the football stadium. And then few would use it for fear of Bill Gates. "This misinformation could eventually stagnate in our development," said Gates. But that's not the case at the moment, he says confidently.
