YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The world’s second-richest man has reportedly become the No. 1 target of coronavirus conspiracy theorists.

Theories linking Microsoft magnate Bill Gates to COVID-19 have exploded in recent months as right-wing conspiracists and anti-vaccine zealots accused him of using the virus to control the masses, the New York Times reported Friday.

Bogus ideas about Gates and the deadly virus were mentioned on social media and TV 1.2 million times from February to April — more than any other virus-related conspiracy theory, media analysis firm Zignal Labs told the Times.
