The Facts
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf has reported that 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 involvement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, Gates is liable for what the plaintiffs say are lies about the COVID jab being safe.
The Dutch site Zebra Inspiratie reported Gates filed to dismiss the case last month, arguing he didn't fall under the court's jurisdiction. However, the Oct. 16 court ruled that since Gates was part of an international group of defendants, he could be sued and he must pay the plaintiffs' legal fees.
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.
