NEW YORK - The 24-year-old daughter of billionaire and brain Bill Gates took to social media to let her followers know that the COVID-19 vaccine "did NOT implant my genius father into my brain."
Jennifer Gates was referring to a conspiracy theory circulating that the Microsoft founder was using the vaccine to get inside people’s minds and track their movements, according to a report.
The second-year medical student at New York’s Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai also said that "as a medical student and aspiring physician, I am grateful it will give me protection and safety for my future practice."
"I am beyond privileged to receive my first dose of mRNA to teach my cells to mount a protective immune response to this virus. As a medical student and aspiring physician, I am grateful it will give me protection and safety for my future practice," she told her more than 357,000 Instagram followers Friday.
