    Hello,

    I read the Snopes article and, of course, anyone who insists that Mr Gates said what he is supposed to have said will be wrong. I actually don't care what exactly he did or did not say. It is obvious that he does not need to be defended by anyone because he can easily buy his PR, and if he wants, he buys media or builds his own media houses.

    It is not what you have correctly fact-checked what someone who has a lot of power to make people say and do what he wants says.

    How do I know that? There was a Tagesschau programme on German television in the spring of 2020 in which Mr Gates got close to seven minutes (!) of sole airtime, which is a record for one of the most watched evening news programmes. There he says that "seven billion people need to be vaccinated" and the presenter does not ask one critical question about this. I almost fell off my chair when I watched the footage. Some one not elected by the german people were allowed to bring such a statement in prime time, I could not believe it.

    So while Snopes gets it right that Gates' statements were misrepresented, you have to look at the overall tone of the platform and judge whether they tend to be government-uncritical. I cannot judge that in the case of Snopes.

    We have here self-appointed well-funded fact-checkers who have been driving a very clear line since 2020 and ridicule criticism about the measures. I don't know if that is still the case today, but it was the case at the beginning and in 2021.

    What I do agree with is that there is a lot of nonsense on the internet, it is very emotional and all the comments and texts from people who have not been trained for this often seem crazy. It's better to ignore that, I think.

    Good day to you.

    No, I would ask you click the links I provided above and most important watch the video in the last link that is 30 minutes of PROOF.

    I also disbelieve anything Snopes has to say on anything. Here they are lying about world renowned virologist Geert Vanden Bossche saying he is just a veterinarian as they claim his anti-covid vax position is ludicrous. He is world renowned in the world of virology.

    https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/03/26/geert-vanden-bossche/

    Here are the mans actual credentials.

    https://www.voiceforscienceandsolidarity.org/who-we-are

    Geert Vanden Bossche received his DVM from the University of Ghent, Belgium, and his PhD degree in Virology from the University of Hohenheim, Germany. He held adjunct faculty appointments at universities in Belgium and Germany. After his career in Academia, Geert joined several vaccine companies (GSK Biologicals, Novartis Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals) to serve various roles in vaccine R&D as well as in late vaccine development.

    Geert then moved on to join the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Health Discovery team in Seattle (USA) as Senior Program Officer; he then worked with the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) in Geneva as Senior Ebola Program Manager. At GAVI he tracked efforts to develop an Ebola vaccine. He also represented GAVI in fora with other partners, including WHO, to review progress on the fight against Ebola and to build plans for global pandemic preparedness.

    Back in 2015, Geert scrutinized and questioned the safety of the Ebola vaccine that was used in ring vaccination trials conducted by WHO in Guinea. His critical scientific analysis and report on the data published by WHO in the Lancet in 2015 was sent to all international health and regulatory authorities involved in the Ebola vaccination program. After working for GAVI, Geert joined the German Center for Infection Research in Cologne as Head of the Vaccine Development Office. He is at present primarily serving as a Biotech / Vaccine consultant while also conducting his own research on Natural Killer cell-based vaccines.

    And yes he does in fact hold an advanced degree in animal medicine which he needed to oversee testing on vaccines on animals. It was one of his lesser advanced degrees.

      I tend to believe nothing I read on the internet these days. Too many conspiracy theories, fake news, war propaganda and phishing schemes for my liking.

      You can’t trust anything you read these days.

      Especially so-called “Science” articles.

        With that mindset I'm surprised you offered up the known misinformation site Snopes.
