According to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, American billionaire Bill Gates is being sued by seven plaintiffs in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, over claims that his promotion of the COVID vaccine led to injuries.
The lawsuit claims that through his involvment with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, Gates is liable for what they say are lies about the COVID being safe.
According to the Dutch news site Zebra Inspiratie, Gates filed to dismiss the case last month, arguing that he didn't fall under the court's jurisdiction. However, the court ruled on Oct. 16 that since Gates was part of an international group of defendants, he could be sued, ordering him to pay the plaintiffs' legal fees.
As Bill Gates was profiting off of the Pfizer, BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, the people he pressured into taking it were never better off. Even a Bill Gates-funded study last year found that the shots he pushed for so heavily were less effective than natural immunity, leaving us wondering what he knew about them before we were forced to take it.
Bill Gates has been the target of conspiracy theories for years, and while they may never go away, those who are interested in the truth should know that vaccines are not dangerous and are key tools in the fight against infection. Influential people like Gates unfortunately have to bear the brunt of disinformation despite the plethora of facts available.
