"Oh look!! He knew there would be a pandemic!!"

So you see where is the conspiracy theory in that, now?

I assume you are referring to this article: https://dailysceptic.org/2022/09/20/the-growing-menace-of-bi...

Can you point out where it says he knew there would be a pandemic?

Do you think the public deserves to know that Bill Gates and his foundation contributed $789 million to the World Health Organization in 2021 (more than the U.S. Government)?

The tone of the article is "ohlolo Bill Gates is evil, look at how he is the one who finances thus controls the WHO", which is false, as this financial contribution gives him ZERO control on it. Yet it is implied in the tone of the article.

The part "he knew there was a pandemic" is actually a reply to the previous commentator speaking about "well timed and well documented investments" from Bill Gates related to the pandemic, which is a way to present it as "he knew what was coming, how weird". Now I hope you see why, at least in that commentator post, that sounded extremely conspiracy theoretical.
