Conspiracy theories about the pandemic worry Bill Gates, he said in an interview with Politico's Playbook.
"I'm concerned about conspiracy theories circulating on the internet and the damage they could do to public health. "To some extent, I understand why they are happening," he said, according to the Athenian News Agency, citing the pandemic as the cause.
At the same time, he noted that "we are currently experiencing an unprecedented crisis. "People are anxious and it is tempting to look for simple explanations."
"But when misinformation or misleading information is spread, it can lead to death. "We all need to look for ways to work together and save lives," said Bill Gates.
