This is an open letter stating concerns about the role Bill Gates is playing in the pandemic. It is our hope that you will download this letter and send it to everyone you deem necessary (local officials, public health committees, county commissioners, school boards, local newspapers, medical staff, etc.) Also please consider sharing this information on your social media. THIS LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO ALL 170 NORTH CAROLINA SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES.

Bill Gates may not have an official capacity in the COVID-19 epidemic, but he has become a leading spokesperson. Proponents of Gates as the world leader of the pandemic have gone so far as to recommend, “To successfully overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, the world needs a CEO. Not a standard chief executive like a prime minister, chancellor or president, but somebody who on a temporary basis will run the show and get things done,” said The Jerusalem Post.


Gates’ conflicts of interest in this role are being questioned by people on both the Left and the Right. People from vastly different perspectives ranging from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the Washington Times are skeptical of him. Why?


Gates uses his philanthropy to control WHO (as well as UNICEF, GAVI, and PATH)


The World Health Organization (WHO) is presumed by most to be funded by member-countries around the world. In fact, over 75% of the WHO’s funding comes from pharmaceutical companies and other non-governmental interests such as The Gates Foundation. Since these funds are usually earmarked for specific projects or diseases, WHO can’t freely decide how to use them.


The Gates Foundation, which has contributed over $2.4 billion since 2000, is the largest non-government funder of the WHO and the second largest funder behind the US.


Global public health advocates around the world accuse Gates of hijacking WHO’s agenda away from projects that are proven to curb infectious diseases: clean water, hygiene, nutrition, and economic development and toward expensive pharmaceutical “solutions.”


Politico reported in 2017 that “The billionaire was the first private individual to keynote WHO’s general assembly of member countries, and academics have coined a term for his sway in global health: the Bill Chill. Few people dare to openly criticize what he does. Most of 16 people interviewed on the topic would only do so on the condition of anonymity.”


“His sway has NGOs and academics worried. Some health advocates fear that because the Gates Foundation’s money comes from investments in big business, it could serve as a Trojan horse for corporate interests to undermine WHO’s role in setting standards and shaping health policies.”


According to the Washington Times, “WHO didn’t announce the coronavirus as a pandemic until the very day after Gates — who had wished for some time that WHO would declare the coronavirus a pandemic — well, until the very day after Gates made a very large donation to a cause that benefits WHO.”


Gates has financial interests in the development and production of vaccines


In addition to using his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAVI, and PATH, Gates funds a private pharmaceutical company that manufactures vaccines and is donating $50 million to 12 pharmaceutical companies to speed up development of a coronavirus vaccine.

Gates has made a $10B investment on vaccine development and distribution over the last 20 years. He states that he has gotten a 20:1 economic return on that investment. Had he invested in the S&P, he estimates he would have earned $17 billion. His vaccine investments have earned $200 billion.


In his recent media appearances, rather than seeking an inexpensive treatment for COVID-19 that would only be needed for a small percent of the world population who have complications with COVID-19, Gates has said that a vaccine for all seven billion people on earth is the only thing that will allow us to “get back to normal.”


Kennedy outlines many of Gates’ little-known crimes related to vaccine campaigns in India and other third world countries. For example Indian doctors blame the Gates polio vaccine campaign in India for a devastating non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP) epidemic that paralyzed 490,000 children beyond expected rates between 2000 and 2017.


Gates/Microsoft’s ambition to control a global digital vaccine ID


Gates’ conflicts of interest extend beyond his financial interest in vaccines.  In a recent “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit, Gates said, “Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.” This statement is tied to Microsoft’s ambition is to control a global digital vaccine ID (ID 2020).


I ask you to investigate Bill Gates’ role in managing COVID-19. Mr. Gates is not an elected official. He is not an appointee of an elected official. He is not an employee of the US government. He is not a doctor or a scientist. Yet, he is spearheading the effort to fast track a vaccine for all seven billion people on earth and a global digital tracking system developed by none other than Microsoft. Citizens are starting to question the wisdom of the quarantine. Impartial leadership of COVID-19 mitigation is critical to retain the public trust.
