A Dutch court has ruled that Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and leading global philanthropist, will face trial in the Netherlands following a lawsuit involving COVID-19 vaccine injuries. The case, which includes multiple other high-profile defendants, claims that the vaccines were unsafe and had negative health impacts on the plaintiffs. This development has been largely covered by local Dutch sources, with outlets like De Telegraaf and independent platforms Zebra Inspiratie bringing attention to the case. However, major international news networks have not widely reported the matter.
