As a proponent of vaccinations (he has done absolutely incredible work in India), he has been a boogeyman for anti-vaxxer/conspiracy idiots for years. Anti-vaxxers and Covid Conspiracists have now overlapped.
One of the impacts of the GOP validating Trump and his constant lying is that they have allowed fringe conspiracists to move into the mainstream of conservative politics. Diamond and Silk are nobodies who gained internet fame because they're black women supporting Trump. Somehow that turned into a show on Fox Nation that only just got shut down because Fox realized how dangerous two unqualified idiots spreading conspiracy theories can be when it impacts our health in a pandemic. And yet prior to that, racist Steve King invited them to testify to Congress about being "censored" on Facebook for spreading conspiracies and they were paid by the Trump campaign lol... now Trump is publicly complaining about them being removed from Fox.
My argument, that I didn't make because why waste time, is that they are RIGHT...Bill Gates is NOT a doctor. He's just a BILLIONAIRE who is giving money to the doctors and scientists doing the research.
And you're right about the "fringe" members.
Ben Shapiro: "If somebody who is 81 dies of COVID-19, that is not the same thing as somebody who is 30 dying of COVID-19...If grandma dies in a nursing home at age 81, that's tragic and it's terrible, also the life expectancy in the United States is 80" pic.twitter.com/L2UJi95OUN

Why this kind of propaganda is believed by people who claim to be pro life will always confound me.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
