Says Bill Gates said, “We’re taking things that are genetically modified organisms, and we’re injecting them into little kids’ arms” in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Publisher’s rating: False
Related reporting—not the original PolitiFact review—contains the same quotation and attributes it to Bill Gates. The excerpt says the quote appears in a YouTube video and supplies a link to an X post. This directly matches the quotation at issue, but it is the article’s assertion, not independent confirmation of who is speaking. The supplied excerpt does not include the video, a transcript beyond the quoted sentence, or surrounding remarks. It therefore does not show whether Gates said these words, what he was referring to, or whether the statement was made in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. On this evidence alone, those points remain unverified.
