Various accusations say Bill Gates is looking for profit from the Corona vaccine which was also developed by his foundation. What did the Microsoft founder say?
Especially during the Corona pandemic, Bill Gates' name was indeed associated with various conspiracy theories. Starting from he who masterminded the Corona pandemic to implanting microchips into people through injections of the Corona vaccine.
Not only that, he was accused of making profits from the results of the Corona vaccine business. Regarding that, he vehemently denied it.
"You almost have to laugh because that (conspiracy theory) is so crazy. I mean, do I really want to track people down?" he answered, in a recent interview with the BBC quoted by us, Sunday (8/5/2022).
"You know, I spend billions of dollars on vaccines, I don't make money on vaccines, and vaccines save lives," he added.
Bill Gates then admitted that people sometimes shouted at him with the accusation. "Recently I was in public and some people screamed at me that I was tracking them. That's a bad thing," he said. Earlier at the TED conference, he raised the same objection.
"Our foundation, the Gates Foundation, is deeply involved in vaccine development, new vaccine discovery, vaccine funding, and we are extremely proud that through our joint efforts, we have saved tens of millions of lives," said Bill Gates.
He regrets if anyone refuses vaccines and believes in conspiracy theories against him. For example, by planting a microchip to track someone, he thought it was ridiculous.
"So it's ironic that there are people who reject vaccines and say we use vaccines to kill people or to make money or we started this pandemic," Bill Gates added.
