THE controversy surrounding the COVID -19 vaccine may not end soon as recent developments have shown that Tech mogul and philanthropist, Bill Gates, may be facing more legal actions.
With allegations that he promotes vaccines for population control, to suggestions that he aims to implant microchips in people; the once renowned tech mogul and philanthropist, has become a central figure in conspiracy theories linking him to COVID-19 vaccine controversies and threatening to erode every trust that once was on his side.
Gates’ advocacy for vaccines and substantial funding through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has supported vaccine research and healthcare improvements, particularly in Africa and Asia, made him an influential voice during the COVID-19 pandemic and this may be coming back to bite him.
One of the most widespread conspiracies involved a doctored image suggesting Gates endorses a “Center for Global Human Population Reduction”, and endorsed vaccines whose risk factors were not completely ascertained. These rumour added fuel to anti-vaccine narratives, especially those fixated on ‘population control’
However, these narratives seem to be gaining more grounds, especially as recent Court rulings both in the United States and Netherlands suggest that there may be more to these claims.
Separately, a significant legal ruling emerged in the U.S., where the Supreme Court ruled that COVID-19 vaccines do not qualify as traditional vaccines.
In the lawsuit led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the court determined that the damage from COVID-19 mRNA gene therapies was irreparable, setting an international precedent.
Kennedy emphasized that the case succeeded due to the cooperation of numerous lawyers and scientists.
According to the reports, the ruling is expected to impact Switzerland particularly, given its legal framework prohibiting the misuse of genetic engineering on humans, and could lead to up to 10 years of prison for violators under Article 230bis of Switzerland’s Criminal Code”
In another groundbreaking legal development in the Netherlands, Gates is required to stand trial in the Netherlands over allegations of misleading the public about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. This decision, announced by a Dutch court, stems from a lawsuit filed by seven plaintiffs, who claimed that that they experienced injuries from COVID-19 vaccines.
These plaintiffs allege that Gates, in collaboration with other high-profile figures, including former Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, promoted a vaccine agenda while downplaying risks and inflating safety claims.
The lawsuit also names Gates as an influential advocate for COVID-19 vaccines, asserting that his influence, through entities like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, played a role in a far-reaching “Great Reset Project” that aimed to implement societal changes under the pretense of pandemic control.
The plaintiffs argue that Gates’ statements, widely publicized in 2020, gave the impression that vaccines were the definitive solution to COVID-19, ultimately coercing individuals to get vaccinated under misleading premises about vaccine effectiveness and safety.
Also, a group of plaintiffs claimed that Gates made false statements regarding the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, alleging he falsely promoted them as capable of stopping transmission, preventing illness, and eliminating the need for masks. Of the seven initial plaintiffs, six remain in the case, as one has reportedly passed away since the filing.
With the next hearing set for November 27, 2024, the court has already ordered Gates to cover the plaintiffs’ legal fees of €1,406.00 ($1,518.44) within 14 days, with additional penalties if he fails to comply.
In related efforts, German lawyer Rainer Füllmich and more than 100 other German attorneys are active in pursuing cases tied to this issue.
According to reports, the ruling has global implications, as it resonates with the Nuremberg Code and Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
“Theories about Gates have also tapped into broader fears of surveillance, particularly through false claims about microchip implants. These concerns escalated when Gates mentioned digital health certificates as a potential tool to track COVID-19 immunity, which some misinterpreted as advocating for microchipping.”
This sentiment has been echoed in recent public protests. One of which was on September 28th, where approximately 30,000 people marched through Tokyo, condemning what they perceive as government overreaching by allowing untested self-replicating RNA vaccines to be deployed without thorough investigation.
“The rally highlighted a growing discontent among Japanese citizens who feel that their government is prioritizing pharmaceutical profits over public health. Many protesters described the situation as akin to a “third atomic bomb” on Japan, as Big Pharma companies collaborate with local entities to introduce RNA technology that has yet to be widely tested.
“In Japan, an increasing number of scientists and citizens are voicing their concerns over mRNA vaccines, with tech mogul and philanthropist Bill Gates becoming a central figure in this unfolding controversy. Some Japanese researchers, including respected oncologist Fukushima, have raised alarms, urging the removal of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from the market.
“They cite concerns over safety and allege the vaccines are part of a larger agenda involving population control. Fukushima and others have openly questioned the vaccines, calling them “the work of evil” and likening their effects to mass harm.”
Also, Robert Malone, who attended one of the Tokyo protests, voiced concerns that Big Pharma’s influence could lead to suppression of free speech, particularly for those critical of the experimental gene therapy.
Malone expressed fear that corporate threats against critics could prevent important discussions about potential risks.
In addition to the tension, the Japanese government appears to be taking a stance that some see as influenced by pharmaceutical interests.
“Citizens fear that speaking out could result in legal consequences, following statements from corporate leaders indicating they would pursue action against vaccine critics. Japanese scientists like Fukushima continue their efforts to spread awareness about vaccine risks despite the potential backlash, hoping to bring attention to what they call a “globalist agenda” aimed at control and depopulation,” he added.
In this climate of mistrust, public figures like Gates, previously known for his philanthropy, have become symbols of what some believe is a plan to consolidate global power through health interventions.
This controversy highlights a broader, ongoing struggle to balance scientific advocacy with public skepticism and the challenges of communicating health information amidst concerns about corporate influence and global control.
Recall that in 2020, Bill Gates, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, warned that creating a COVID-19 vaccine was only part of the challenge.
He explained that nations would need to invest in various manufacturing facilities to produce vaccines, despite the risk that some facilities might go unused.
As Gates noted, his foresight is based on the uncertainty around which vaccines will prove most effective.
He noted that without this approach, there will be significant delays in scaling up production even after a vaccine is developed.
The contributions of Bill Gates to global health through the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation cannot be overemphasized. The foundation has been at the forefront in the quest for a healthy and safer world through significant resources flow through the diverse, complex ecosystem of global health institutions and has contributed more than US$7.8 billion, including more than US$2 billion for work combating HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, TB, and malaria; approximately US$1.9 billion for immunizations; and $448 million for the GCGH projects.” according to reports by gatesfoundation.org
