    One of the worst parts is that there are many valid reasons to criticize Bill Gates with regards to the COVID vaccine (mainly as it pertains to his intellectual property crusade leading to a few companies getting to dictate the rollout and screwing over the Global South in the process), but it’s all drowned out by these idiots screaming about microchips.

      Honestly it seems a lot of these “conspiracy theories” are just bullshit stories spoon fed to stupid people to keep them chasing their own tails and distract from the real issues.

      That’s because all of that is too complicated for these simpletons to understand. They think “intellectual property” is a smart guy’s personal belongings.

      Yes. The Oxford vaccine should have been open source. Gates money changed that.

      Poor Dolly Parton.

      She help fund a vaccine and no one is banging on about her vaccine causing you to get a large blonde hairdo (we all know it’s a wig), and large breasts.

      There is no democracy in the targeting of people who’ve helped fund development. I think they’ve missed a trick.

      Think I’ve just had an idea about an article taking the piss out of anti -vaxers.
