COVID-19 conspiracies: Bill Gates

-
By: Elle Barrett

The government first introduced COVID-19 in 2018 and supposedly Bill Gates is responsible. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation announced in 2019 that the foundation would help fund an unrelated project to do research on livestock disease and immunology. 
Gates gave a presentation in 2018 at the Massachusetts Medical Society and New England Journal of Medicine. During his presentation, Gates presented a stimulation suggesting that a flu very similar to the 1918 flu pandemic could kill 50 million people within a six-month period. He also added that the Global Public Health Community did not have the resources to deal with a pandemic.
Gates presentation was mainly to argue that governments need to work better with the private sector to create technology to fight a pandemic in the future. It is suspected that Gates predicted this global chaos for his personal profit because he clearly indicated there needed to be better preparedness.

This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11. I’m a busy wife and mom.  I have taught as a lecturer in the mass media department since the fall of 2003, and I am also the director of Student Media at Washburn. The Student Media staff keeps  washburnreview.org  updated with new content all year long along with producing three Bod Magazines, 26 weekly issues
