Anti-vaxxers point finger at Bill Gates after Pfizer breakthrough

Anti-vaxxers are out in force online, linking the vaccine news to billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

An end to the pandemic could be in sight, after manufacturers announced that a leading Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90 per cent effective – a much better performance than experts had hoped for.

The developers – Pfizer and German firm BioNTech – hailed the preliminary results as a “great day for science and humanity”. Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people across six countries – and no safety concerns have been raised.

It is a major breakthrough in the battle against Covid-19, raising hopes that the shot could be available for use by the end of the year if given the green light by drug authorities.

But it has encountered unsurprising – and often deranged – resistance, with anti-vaxxers out in force online and linking the vaccine news to billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Some of the most bizarre tweets here.

Bill Gates is not a Doctor.
Men can not get periods.
Abortion is not healthcare.
America is not a racist country.
Joe Biden is not the President.
And liberalism is a mental disorder.

From the same Bill Gates who can’t remove viruses from his computers? I’ll take my chances with the immune system that God gave me https://t.co/NRnIa5mtwD

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
