Bill Gates responds to vaccine conspiracy theories on CCTV

When I first wrote here I was accused by some people of being a conspiracy theorist because I questioned the official 9/11 narrative. But since I've been active on Twitter over the last three months I seem to be mainly in fierce debate with the conspiracy theorists.

Conspiracy theories distract from the real issues, like the military industrial complex, Russiagate, the neoliberal attack on ordinary people, MSM pro war propaganda, and that there is hardly any real democracy in the West, etc.

I might not be happy with Microsoft's aggressive practices and their virtual monopoly over PC operating systems, but I don't think Bill Gates is evil, far from it.

YouTube comment

"Conspiracy theories make stupid people feel like geniuses."

Five years ago, Microsoft's founder Bill Gates warned about global pandemics on a TED Talk. The realized prediction has raised rumors that he is responsible for creating the novel coronavirus and netizens have been questioning the reasons for his heavy investments in vaccine development.

Gates, who now serves as the co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, shared his thoughts about recent conspiracy theories and China's measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 in an interview on CCTV.

“ Five years ago, Microsoft's founder Bill Gates warned about global pandemics on a TED Talk.”

His concern is global ... not exclusively focused on the western nations but the turd world too... perhaps even more concern about the turd world ...

That’s pretty good I might have to steal that one...

Bill Gates has known about global virus pandemic since windows 95.

… and the biggest, most dangerous, conspiracy theorist dummy is the orange turd in the White House.

Remember that just last month, according to the orange turd in the White House, the corona virus coverage by the US media was nothing more than a "hoax" created to hurt his brand.

And how could we ever forget,

“It’s going to be just fine. We have it totally under control... When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” -- the orange turd

With health "experts" claiming that there would've been 2.2 million deaths, Trump is looking like a genius...

There will be 2 million deaths from it but it will come over 18 months, which was the goal of epidemiologists.

They didn’t want 200,000 in first month

Hey maybe you lefty Bernie Bro’s here can explain to me how we’re going to get clean water if Bill Gates spends all of his munnie on anti virus stuff???

S400 said...

How are anyone going to get clean water if it’s engineering is of the likes of Matt?

Peter Pan said...

Greg, those estimates are for the US. The death rate will be comparable to a bad flu season.

IIIIFFFFF zero, nada, rien, zilch action were taken. Why is this so hard to understand?

Trump is looking like a genius...

More like the grifter looking like the incompetent, arrogant, irresponsible orange turd that he is. Ditto his god-awful kids.

Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if the orange turd bragged in the coming months how he could kill 100,000s of thousands of Americans, let alone the 10,000s of deaths he's responsible for, and still get elected... you know, a la shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.

Yes, they are estimates are for the US. Expecting 40- 50% of population to get virus by summer 2021 (could be worse if we insist on slobbering on each other at sporting events/concerts) or about 150-175 million people. At 1.5% death rate that's over 2 million. Death rate looks higher now but we are missing a lot of cases due to testing. But that will also mean 30 million with hospitalization and 15 million in ICU

Greg said...

Flu killed less than 40,000 in 2018-2019 flu season according to CDC

Peter Pan said...

As of April 10th, US deaths are reported as 20,254. The rate of new cases indicate that the numbers have peaked. 40,000 sounds like the lower bound of what can be expected. It won't be anywhere near the scary estimates that were floated.
