Billionaire Bill Gates on trial over Covid-19 vaccines safety
Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates is set to stand trial in the Netherlands for allegedly misleading the public about the safety of Covid-19 vaccines
Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates is set to stand trial in the Netherlands for allegedly misleading the public about the safety of Covid-19 vaccines.
In an epoch-making decision by a Dutch court on Wednesday, a ruling was made after seven plaintiffs claimed to have suffered adverse effects after being vaccinated during at the height of the pandemic.
The complainants have sued the philanthropist, former Dutch Prime Minister and current NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, members of the Dutch government’s Covid-19 Outbreak Management Team, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and the Dutch state itself.
According to a Dutch publication, last year, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit naming Gates as one of the “experts” who made several claims about the Covid-19 experimental vaccines.
The complainants argued that Gates, through his involvement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum (WEF), was involved in a far-reaching agenda known as “The Great Reset Project.”
The Great Reset initiative was an economic recovery plan drawn in June 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to its proponents and initiators, it was meant to facilitate rebuilding after the devastation occasioned by the pandemic in a way that prioritises sustainable development.
In the lawsuit, the complainants claimed that the agenda of the initiative included pushing for the uptake of unsafe vaccines.
Hence, they were deceived into taking the injections which have had devastating effects on them.
In 2020, Gates warned that developing a COVID-19 vaccine is only half the battle through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
“Several vaccines are in human trials, we aren’t sure which vaccines will be the most effective yet, and each requires unique technology to make.
That means nations need to invest in many different kinds of manufacturing facilities now, knowing that some will never be used.
Otherwise, we’ll waste months after the lab develops an immunisation, waiting for the right manufacturer to scale up”, Gates said in his article in 2020.
The complainants further claimed that Gates made false statements about the vaccines promising that they would stop the virus transmission, prevent the illness, and eliminate the need for protective gear.
The court documents revealed that one of the seven plaintiffs had reportedly died since the initial filing, leaving six others.
Reports further indicate that Gates tried to stop the case but the court dismissed his attempts, citing jurisdiction issues as an American citizen.

He has been ordered to pay the plaintiffs’ legal fees of $1,518.44 (sh195, 878) within 14 days or face additional penalties.
With a new hearing scheduled for November 27, 2024, questions persist regarding the safety of the vaccine which was supplied to millions worldwide.
In May 2022, one of the vaccine recipients, Gates announced that he had tested positive for the virus despite having been vaccinated and boosted.
“I’ve tested positive for COVID. I’m experiencing mild symptoms and am following the experts’ advice by isolating until I’m healthy again,” the Microsoft founder wrote on his X account.
The vaccine was being administered in booster batches, following expert advice due to the emergence of new Covid-19 variants.
In the wake of the global pandemic in 2020, several vaccines including AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTtech, Johnson and Johnson, and Sinopharm vaccines were dispatched to Kenya.
Due to the vaccine shortage amid the virus surge, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board approved the emergency use of vaccines such as Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer by August 2021.
The Pfizer vaccine became available since it was largely donated to Kenya by the American government.
Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine (2024-2025 Formula), has not been approved or licensed by the Food and Drug Administration but has been authorised under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to prevent Covid-19.
