During the pandemic, news outlets have widely looked to Bill Gates as a public health expert on covid—even though Gates has no medical training and is not a public official.
PolitiFact and USA Today
(run by the Poynter Institute and Gannett, respectively—both of which have received funds from the Gates Foundation)
have even used their fact-checking platforms to defend Gates from “false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation,” like the idea that the foundation has financial investments in companies developing covid vaccines and therapies.
In fact, the foundation’s website and most recent tax forms clearly show investments in such companies, including Gilead and CureVac.
[“false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation" - This is why when you read or hear terms such as these, or “debunked” or “discredited” etc, PLEASE decode that as a cue to dig a little deeper and decide for yourself. Because the use of these terms is a psychological tool meant to stop you in your tracks. No one wants to be painted as a nutter, so all too often, the ploy works and “The Plot Sickens.”]
