‘Hope it dies down’: Bill Gates on theory claiming he is planning to implant chips via Covid-19 vaccineworldUpdated: Jul 23, 2020 09:05 ISTMicrosoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates finally spoke out against the conspiracy theories doing the rounds on social media that he is planning to implant microchips in people through Covid-19 vaccine. Gates told CBS News that he wants the truth to reach people and hoped the fake news “dies down”. The reports accusing Gates of planning something so outlandish was fuelled by an outburst from the head of Russian Communist Party in May. Gates and a foundation led by him and his wife Melinda are working to find a vaccine for Covid-19. The approach, also being deployed in experimental Covid-19 vaccines by BioNTech and partner Pfizer and Moderna, is yet to be approved in any therapy.
