QAnon Supporters And Anti-Vaxxers Are Spreading A Hoax That Bill Gates Created The Coronavirus

It has no basis in reality, but that hasn’t slowed its spread across Facebook and Twitter.

A false rumor that the coronavirus outbreak is a plot by former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates is being spread by supporters of the pro-Trump QAnon movement and the anti-vax community.

A QAnon YouTuber named Jordan Sather warned his followers on Tuesday that the coronavirus was a “new fad disease" and claimed the release of the disease was “planned.” Following Sather’s heavily retweeted thread, the conspiracy theory traveled across Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

The newly discovered virus — a member of the coronavirus family that includes past outbreaks SARS and MERS — has infected more than 644 people and killed 18 since Dec. 31, 2019, according to Chinese news reports. Infected travelers have been detected in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and Singapore. The first US case was announced on Tuesday, and five US airports have begun screening for the virus after a man in his thirties from Snohomish County, Washington, had his infection confirmed by a recently developed genetic test. (A potential second US case was announced today.) And on Thursday, Chinese officials quarantined a number of cities in close proximity to the center of the outbreak, Wuhan. Public transportation was shut down, roads were blocked, and outbound flights were suspended, leaving 20 million people effectively unable to leave on the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year.

While the World Health Organization has so far stressed that this isn't a global emergency, online rumors and lies have run fast.

The crux of Sather’s conspiracy hinges on a 2015 patent filed by the Pirbright Institute in Surrey, England, which covers the development of a weakened form of a coronavirus that could potentially be used as a vaccine to prevent respiratory diseases in birds and other animals. This is a standard way that vaccines are made, for everything from the flu vaccine to the polio vaccine.

Cabal hit job!

WOW! Adam Schiff Lectures America: Your Vote Doesn’t Count, We Can’t Trust the Ballot Box

In his opening argument on Wednesday blowhard Adam Schiff told America the ballot box cannot be trusted.

Your vote doesn’t count if you choose Trump.

Adam Schiff: The President’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won.

This really is a new low for Democrats — choose us or your vote doesn’t count!

Democrats don’t trust you to make the right decision.

They know better. And that’s why they’re so ANGRY.

They can’t accept that you reject their lunacy and hatred.

Rush Limbaugh weighed in on Pencil-neck.

This guy is not altogether sane. I think this guy is rivaling Antonio Brown to me in being just off center. It’s not the first time aid has been withheld by a president. Obama shut them out of aid while Russia came in and took part of Ukraine, called Crimea.

Are you getting tired of me saying this yet? “When the Ukrainians learned and the Russians learned the president did not have his back, was withholding this aid –” they got their aid! In a matter of days, they got the aid.
