Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer, who is studying medicine, received her first dose of the COVID-19 late last week. And like many others who got the shot, she shared a photo on social media.
However, as post , Jennifer Gates is well aware of the false conspiracy theories circulating about her dad and the vaccine. After expressing her gratitude for her vaccination, she joked that “Unfortunately the vaccine did NOT implant my father’s genius in my brain – I wish mRNA had that power.”
Jennifer's father, Bill Gates, is a co-founder of Microsoftand has worked for years on vaccine research and promotion around the world through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He has also been the subject of many bizarre and completely unfounded conspiracy theories, including one that falsely claims he is promoting COVID-19 vaccinations in order to implant people with a microchip that will track them.
His daughter Jennifer, now in her second year at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York City, also noted in her post, “ I’ll still be wearing my mask (or two!) after I get my second dose — I hope that explains a lot. ” Dr. Anthony Fauci , President Joe Biden ’s chief medical advisor , recently endorsed wearing a cloth mask over a surgical mask , which the CDC says improves the fit of the surgical mask and therefore offers better protection against the coronavirus.
Jennifer Gates is the eldest of Bill and Melinda Gates' three children. Bill Gates received the first dose of the vaccine last month, as he was given priority, having turned 65 in October. Like his daughter, the father also shared a photo of the happy moment and wrote: "I feel great."
