Bill Gates reacted for the first time after conspiracy theories on the Internet, which accuse him of inventing the coronavirus.
"It's a bad combination between a pandemic and social media and people looking for a simpler explanation," the Microsoft founder said in an interview with CNN.
On social media, many people accuse Bill Gates of the pandemic and according to some other theories, he is "seeking to eliminate 15% of the world's population."
"Our foundation has given more money to buy vaccines than anyone else," Gates said. He has pledged $ 250 million in efforts to fight the pandemic.
Other online charges allege that the FBI arrested Bill Gates for biological terrorism or that he was supporting a Western plot to poison Africans. The allegations say he is using the crisis to "control people" and "make money selling vaccines". "I strongly believe in extracting the truth," Gates told CNN.
It is not the first time the billionaire has been placed at the center of these allegations. When the Zika virus broke out in 2015 in Brazil, Bill Gates was one of the main figures accused. A strange conspiracy theory says that Bill Gates is actually a lizard.
