Matt Hancock’ Joked About Bill Gates Covid Vaccine Conspiracy Theory

Matt Hancock joked that Bill Gates “owes me” because of “how many people I’m getting injected with his chips” during the pandemic, leaked WhatsApp messages have revealed.

The then health secretary cited unsubstantiated claims that Gates developed Covid-19 in a lab and used the vaccine to implant microchip tracking devices in billions of people.

Hancock was then hoping to get the Microsoft billionaire to further the country’s expertise in identifying coronavirus variants around the world.

On January 25, 2021, Hancock’s media adviser Damon Poole asked him via WhatsApp if he had spoken to him World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on the New Variant Assessment Platform (NVAP) – a service offering the UK’s expertise in detecting new variants of the virus.

Mr Poole then said: “No promises, but I’m trying to get Bill Gates endorsement of the platform.”

In a reply, Hancock said, “Tell him he owes me one considering how many people I’ve injected with his chips!”

The revelation is one of many published by The Telegraph after the journalist he was entrusted with handing over more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages from Mr Hancock’s phone to ghostwrite his book Pandemic Diaries.

Journalist Isabel Oakeshott claimed that “he didn’t tell me he was going to Australia” because I’m a celebrity and that he “disappeared into the jungle at a critical moment in very difficult negotiations with the Cabinet Office”.

She then gave The Daily Telegraph 100,000 WhatsApp texts from Mr Hancock, which she has described as a “cache of very raw communications”.

The MP has since said her actions amounted to “massive betrayal” which was used to create “a partial, biased report consistent with an anti-lockdown agenda”.

Other news has revealed that Hancock has received advice from England’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty to test all residents going into care homes for Covid. However, he did not follow the recommendation – which, in his opinion, was due to the lack of testing at the time.

The texts say Cabinet Secretary Simon Case joked with Mr Hancock about confining travelers arriving in the UK to quarantine hotels.

And Mr Hancock urged ministers to “deal with the police” to enforce the lockdown rules, according to the news.

The latest revelation revealed that Hancock took his lover Gina Coladangelo to private dinners with the US Secretary of State at a G7 summit, before later withdrawing a suggestion to invite her.

The health secretary, who was later forced to resign after his affair with wife Coladangelo was revealed, brought his lover, whom he had been seeing for a month, to two private dinners with his US counterpart as a guest.
