A Dutch court has ruled that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates must stand trial in a Covid “vaccine” injuries case.
According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the court ruled on a lawsuit from seven people injured by the injections.
Dubbed the “corona skeptics” by Dutch media, the plaintiffs sued Gates last year for his role in the Netherlands’ Covid vaccination campaign.
The lawsuit also names Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and former Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who now serves as NATO Secretary General.
“Several members” of the Dutch government’s COVID-19 “Outbreak Management Team” are also named.
“Because Bill Gates’ foundation was involved in combating the corona pandemic, he has also been summoned,” De Telegraaf reported.
According to the Dutch independent news outlet Zebra Inspiratie, the plaintiffs allege that Gates, through his representatives, deliberately misled them about the safety of Covid mRNA “vaccines.”
However, they alleged that Gates knew “that these injections were not safe and effective.”
The lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Leeuwarden.
“Gates had objected because, according to him, the judges did not have jurisdiction,” according to De Telegraaf.
De Andere Krant reported that the court first “had to rule in the so-called incident procedure,” before the lawsuit could move forward.
Zebra Inspiratie reported that the hearing in this “incident procedure” took place on September 18.
Gates’ representatives disputed jurisdiction, but not the claim, the reported notes.
According to De Andere Krant, Gates was represented by the Pels Rijcken law firm.
Pels Rijcken, based in The Hague, is described as “the largest and the premier litigation law firm in the Netherlands.”
Gates did not appear at the September 18 hearing.
However, attorneys for Gates argued that the court “had no jurisdiction over him because he lives in the United States.”
However, in its October 16 ruling, the Leeuwarden court ruled it does have jurisdiction over Gates.
De Andere Krant reported that the court found “sufficient evidence” that the claims against Gates and the other defendants are “connected” and based on the same “complex of facts.”
Other defendants who reside outside of the Netherlands, including Bourla, did not challenge the court’s jurisdiction.
The court ruled Gates must pay attorneys’ fees and additional legal costs totaling 1,406 euros (approximately $1,520).
A hearing is scheduled for November 27.
In remarks shared with De Andere Krant, Arno van Kessel, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, welcomed the ruling.
“In its verdict, the court has clearly recorded the basis of our conclusions of claim,” van Kessel said.
The plaintiffs in the case also delivered statements during the September 18 hearing.
According to Zebra Inspiratie, “One of the victims, who is very ill, was also given the opportunity to make a plea.
“She was no longer able to speak and was represented by her father.
“It was an emotional plea.”
Krikke said the plaintiff’s father told the court that his daughter was previously healthy.
However, she fell ill after getting the Covid vaccine and could no longer speak.
The devasted dad told the judge that he “would really like to speak to Bill Gates directly” to ask him what happened to his daughter.
“After that, the judge was really quiet,” Krikke said.
The October 16 ruling also addressed the plaintiffs’ claims about Gates’ role in the WEF’s “Great Reset” agenda.
“The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is also affiliated with the World Economic Forum … an international organization whose statutory objective is to unite ‘leaders from business, governments, academia and society at large into a global community committed to improving the state of the world,’” the ruling states.
“This is a project aimed at the total reorganization of societies in all countries that are members of the United Nations … as described by [WEF founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab] in his book Covid-19: The Great Reset. …
“Characteristic of this political ideology is that this forced and planned change is presented as justified by pretending that the world is suffering from major crises that can only be solved by centralized, hard global intervention.
“One of these pretended major crises concerns the Covid-19 pandemic.”
The ruling also states, “The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is affiliated with ‘Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance‘ … an international partnership in the field of vaccinations between various public and private entities.”
