Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has denied reports that he was involved in the coronavirus pandemic; he stated this in an interview with the German Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

The entrepreneur noted that people are looking for easy solutions and ask if anyone is behind this pandemic.

In addition, Gates said that his foundation had already experienced public distrust of vaccines during the fight against polio.

To combat such delusions, it is necessary to turn to influential people, members of society, or religious leaders, as only they can explain to the population the benefits of the vaccine, Gates noted.

Also, he predicted a pandemic which will be ten times more dangerous than the current COVID-19, reports Gazeta.ru.
