Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates on Thursday pushed back against some of the conspiracy theories spreading online accusing him of creating the coronavirus outbreak. “Our foundation has given more money to buy vaccines to save lives than any group,” Gates said, referring to his eponymous foundation. You say, ok, we’re making money and we’re trying to kill people with vaccines or by inventing something,” Gates continued. They accuse the tycoon of exploiting the crisis, whether it is to “control people” or make money from selling vaccines. It is not the first time Gates has found himself targeted by conspiracy theorists.
