Bill Gates Daughter Jennifer Gates posted this message on her Instagram page. She definitely has a sense of humor.
The quip is a reference to her father Bill Gates, the billionaire tech mogul, who has centered his philanthropic efforts with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on improving vaccine technology and access in the developing world. He has also long warned about the possibility of a viral pandemic, well before Covid-19 spread across the globe.
His vaccine advocacy has made him a central figure in anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. One outlandish belief is that Gates is using the pandemic to push a vaccine with a microchip that would control people’s minds or track their location.
It’s been over a year since the SarsCOV2 variant emerged, and we now have more solutions, including immunizations, to help protect individuals and communities. 🙏
I am beyond privileged to receive my first dose of mRNA to teach my cells to amount a protective immune response to this virus. As a medical student and aspiring physician, I am grateful it will give me protection and safety for my future practice. I’d urge everyone to read more and strongly consider it for yourself and your families when you are provided the option. The more people who get immunized, the safer our communities are for everyone.
Saying thank you doesn’t begin to describe my gratitude for the physicians, scientists, public health experts, pharmacists and so many others who made this achievement in modern medicine possible. Our healthcare workers have been working tirelessly to save as many lives as possible, and this vaccine will only increase their ability to succeed.
PS I’ll still be wearing my mask (or two!) after receiving my second dose- hope that’s self explanatory, and if it’s not lmk if I can provide resources
PPS sadly the vaccine did NOT implant my genius father into my brain – if only mRNA had that power…..! 😜
