Did the Gates Foundation Get $3.5 Billion From the COVID Relief Bill?

No.

After President Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill into law last Thursday, there have been rumors about Bill Gates’s involvement in the bill. 

Twitter users have been sharing an article from The BL, or “The Beauty of Life,” a media company connected to the right-wing outlet the Epoch Times.” The story from The BL is headlined: “$3.5 billion for Bill Gates’s foundation hidden in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion bill.” 

A widely shared tweet, linking to this same article, reads: “Why would Bill Gates get any money from the Covid Stimulus? $3.5 billion for Bill Gates’s foundation hidden in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion bill.”

The Twitter thread continues: “Fauci, Gates, WHO, China, Soros, Obama & Democrats have dirty hands on the Coronavirus.”

    There’s so much corruption and terrible behavior right out in the open, I just don’t understand the need to invent any. It seems like a lot of wasted effort that could be devoted to actual grift.

    Wow, so the article actually makes straight up, verifiably false claims — ones that may well be considered libelous.

    I don't know if the Gates' are at all litigious, but if they are, The BL may have lobbed this one right over the plate for them.

    That's a shame; I have no particular love for The BL or the Epoch Times, but when media organizations publish obviously false information like that, they make the entire industry look bad. And there are many journalists who work very hard at their jobs and try their very best, who don't deserve to be associated with anyone who'd do something like this.
