Timing is everything.

Barely one week after Bill Gates, Microsoft Windows huckster-in-chief turned vaccine fanatic, all but admitted that the COVID-19 inoculations were ineffective against Omicron, he gets bit by the COVID bug.

Gates also had something to say about the latest variant of the virus and the efficacy of vaccines. “Once Omicron comes along, the vaccine is not reducing transmission, hardly at all, particularly about three or four months after you take the vaccine,” he said.

This was quite the climb down from his earlier statement about the shots stopping disease spread.

Bill Gates: “A key goal [of the vaccination program] is to stop transmission.”

Yesterday he tweeted out that he tested positive.

Bill Gates @BillGates

I've tested positive for COVID. I'm experiencing mild symptoms and am following the experts' advice by isolating until I'm healthy again.

Remember, one upon a time Bill Gates touted the inoculations as the magic bullet against COVID-19.

“A key goal [of the vaccination program] is to stop transmission.”

Apparently, that goal(post) has shifted, somewhat. Now Gates is squarely in the “it's just the flu” camp:

“It wasn’t until early February, when I was in a meeting, that experts of the foundation, said ‘there’s no way'” that COVID-19 could have been contained, he said.

“At that point, we didn’t really understand the fatality rate. We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate, and that it’s a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like the flu, although it’s a bit different than that,” Gates said.

Yet no apology for pushing the toxic and demonstrably ineffective shots seems to be forthcoming.

Self-awareness was never Bill's forte.
