The Truth About Bill Gates' Connection To Planned Parenthood

Rather unsurprisingly, a fact-check conducted by Snopes concluded that no evidence has been found to back up any claims that Bill Gates' father embraced eugenics or was in charge of Planned Parenthood throughout his life. 

As NBC News reports, William Gates Sr. was a trustee of the organization and worked on the board of Planned Parenthood prior to his death in September 2020. Therefore, it's safe to assume that any online theories relating to his association with Planned Parenthood were likely inspired by his work in this field. 

Although it may appear outlandish, this isn't the only Bill Gates-related conspiracy theory to have gained traction in recent years. As the BBC reported, there were many online claims that suggested the coronavirus pandemic was a cover-up plan that enabled the Microsoft co-founder to implant traceable microchips into the world's population through vaccines. 

Similarly to the Planned Parenthood conspiracy theory, there is zero evidence to support these claims, and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation publicly denounced them, calling them "false."
