Hi, I'm Rashida Jones.

Hi, I'm Bill Gates.

And we're here to ask the big questions.

Bill, what is the strangest lie you've ever heard about yourself?

Well, this thing that I was involved in creating the coronavirus,

I don't think it gets much stranger than that.

Why do you think people think that about you?

Well, if you want to villain, it helps if they have more money

than a human should have, and they think of themselves as overly clever.

You think of yourself as overly clever?

Absolutely.

Many people have a fear that the vaccine will cause a lot of harm,

or maybe the goal of the vaccine is somehow tracking people

with a microchip with some connection to 5G.

So those conspiracies, you know, that turn the effort of the foundation

to save lives almost on its head, are the craziest things I've ever heard about myself.

Yes, so why would people tell those lies?

What is the incentive to lie specifically about that?

Well, vaccines are given to kids when they're very young.

And so that's not too surprising because you're in a very vulnerable period.

And it's not intuitive, this idea of sticking metal needles into kids' arms,

which, you know, they cry.
