Bill Gates Vaccine Alliance (GAVI) wants to criminalize Covid Memes, calls them ‘disinformation super-spreaders
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, founded and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, reposted an article criticizing meme creators for spreading anti-vaccine messaging and profiting from pandemic fears. Critics said it utilizes the ‘accusation in a mirror’ tactic of attributing one’s misdeeds to opponents.
The article warned that while memes are often associated with “cute cats and celebrities with funny captions,” they have “a more sinister function” as “part of a highly sophisticated strategy to spread and monetise health disinformation.”
Laura Bono, vice president of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), told The Defender, “Evidently, Gavi is missing the irony of publishing an article on the spread of vaccine ‘misinformation’ when Gavi is one of the most prolific purveyors of pro-vaccine propaganda in the world.”
