The Spin
Narrative A
As Gates was likely profiting off COVID vaccines, the people he pressured into taking them were allegedly being harmed. Even a Gates-funded study last year found that the shots he pushed for were no more effective than natural immunity, leaving doubts about what he knew about them before they were widely mainstreamed.
Narrative B
Gates has been the target of conspiracy theories for years. While they may never go away, those who are interested in the truth should know that vaccines are safe and effective tools for helping to combat COVID symptoms. Influential people, unfortunately, have to bear the brunt of disinformation despite the plethora of facts available.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 50% chance that if there is a new pandemic before 2032, it will be at least 271 days from the first US laboratory-confirmed case until the first FDA-approved vaccine, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
