JAKARTA - The name Bill Gates is often associated with the cause of the Covid-19 pandemic. Among conspiracy theorists, Gates is accused of being one of the actors who caused the spread of the corona virus in the world.
The Microsoft boss was shocked to learn of the circulation of a conspiracy theory that had written his name on social media during the outbreak of the corona virus.
Gates said he would investigate what was going on behind the conspiracy theory that dragged his name.
Besides Bill Gates, there is another name mentioned in the wild theory, namely the famous infectious disease expert named Anthony Fauci. Gates said the possibility emerged from the fear of many people due to the pandemic.
Gates is shocked by the conspiracy theory that is spreading among social media users and he hopes that it will disappear soon.
Gates is not only accused of being the mastermind behind the spread of the corona virus by controlling the world's already dense population. He is also seen as someone trying to reap the benefits of the pandemic that is plaguing the world.
On the other hand, Gates is also considered to be the person who put microchips into vaccines. The circulation of this conspiracy theory that bears his name has certainly attracted the attention of many people.
"We really need to get educated about this over the next year and understand ... how is it changing people's behavior and how should we minimize it?" asked Gates.
According to a political expert from the University of Miami, Prof. Joseph Uscinski, said that the reason Bill Gates is associated with the wild theory is because he is rich and his name is popular.
“It should come as no surprise that the rich and big corporations are accused of conspiring to put the chip on our necks because it is something we fear. This has been the ammunition for conspiracy theories for a very long time, ”said Uschnski.
Uschinski also said that conspiracy theories are about great people who do bad things. Basically the theory is the same, only the name has changed.
Uschinski mentioned a number of big names associated with conspiracy theories before the name Bill Gates appeared. Among them were the names George Soros and the Koch, Rockefeller, and Rothscild families.
