Bill Gates Ordered to Stand Trial in Netherlands in November Over COVID Vaccine Injury Claims — Ordered to Pay Legal Costs as Dutch Court Dismisses Jurisdiction Claim
By Jim Hᴏft Oct. 23, 2024 8:15 am932 CommentsA Dutch court has ruled that billionaire and global vaccine proponent Bill Gates will face trial in the Netherlands over his involvement in misleading the public about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, The Defender reported.
The case, brought forward by seven plaintiffs who claim to have suffered vaccine injuries, marks a significant blow to Gates, who has been a key figure in pushing COVID-19 vaccination efforts worldwide.
According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the plaintiffs filed the lawsuit last year, naming Gates as one of 17 defendants, along with former Dutch Prime Minister and current NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, members of the Dutch government’s COVID-19 Outbreak Management Team, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and the Dutch state itself.
Gates is one of the “experts” who made several claims about the COVID experimental vaccines:
- They said the vaccine would stop transmission.
- They said the vaccinated could quit wearing a mask.
- They said the vaccinated would not get sick.
- They said the vaccinated were not going to die.
According to the lawsuit, this agenda included pushing vaccines that were known to be unsafe.
The plaintiffs claim they were deceived into taking these dangerous injections, and the consequences have been devastating. Physical and mental injuries have allegedly plagued them since receiving the vaccine.
One of the seven plaintiffs has reportedly died since the initial filing, leaving six others to carry on the fight against Gates and his cohorts. These ordinary Dutch citizens, whose identities have been redacted from the court documents, say they trusted the vaccine narrative and are now paying the price.
The plaintiffs referenced various public statements made by Gates, including a widely viewed YouTube video from April 2020 titled “
Despite Gates’ attempts to evade the Dutch court’s jurisdiction by claiming that, as an American citizen, he should not be subject to legal proceedings in the Netherlands, the court rejected this argument, according to independent researcher and reporter Penny Marie.
On October 16, 2024, the Leeuwarden District Court announced that it does indeed have jurisdiction to hear the case against Gates.
The billionaire was represented in court by a lawyer from PelsRijcken but did not attend the September 18 hearing in person. His legal team’s defense crumbled when the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.
According to Dutch reporter Erica Krikke of Zebra Inspiratie, who attended the trial back on September 18, “The Right Foundation and the lawyers [Arno van Kessel and Peter Stassen] inform me today that the Leeuwarden court has made a ruling in the Bill Gates case. The Dutch judge is well qualified! Bill Gates loses this case and will therefore have to appear before a Dutch judge. Very soon I will be having an exclusive interview with the lawyers to provide some coverage on this ruling and follow up of general ground proceedings.”
According to the judgment:
The court ruled that Gates, who attempted to have the case dismissed or contest the court’s jurisdiction, was in the wrong. His legal challenge was dismissed, and as a result, he has been ordered to pay the legal fees of the plaintiffs.
According to court documents, Gates is required to cover the plaintiffs’ legal costs, which amount to €1,406.00 ($1,518.44). This includes:
- €1,228.00 ($1,326.17) for the plaintiffs’ lawyer’s fees.
- €178.00 ($192.23) in additional legal expenses.
Gates will now have to respond to the allegations in Dutch court, with a new hearing set for November 27, 2024.
