In a landmark decision, a Dutch court has ruled that it holds jurisdiction over a case brought against Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, concerning allegations of misleading statements about COVID-19 vaccines which allegedly caused irrevocable harm to the public.
This pivotal ruling clears the way for the case to proceed, despite Gates’ legal team’s efforts to have it dismissed on jurisdictional grounds.

Before delving into the case’s core allegations, Gates’ lawyers challenged the court’s authority, arguing that the matter fell outside Dutch legal jurisdiction. However, the court has decisively rejected that argument, confirming it does have jurisdiction.
As a consequence, Gates has been ordered to pay the plaintiffs’ legal fees amounting to €1,406 (approximately $1,520) within 14 days.
This ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of global health leaders and their roles during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lawsuit was initiated by seven Dutch citizens who claim to have suffered adverse effects after receiving COVID-19 vaccinations. The defendants include Bill Gates, former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, members of the Dutch COVID-19 Outbreak Management Team, and the Dutch state.
The plaintiffs argue that Gates, through his involvement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, was part of a global initiative known as “The Great Reset,” which they allege promoted the uptake of unsafe vaccines.
The case itself will move forward at a yet to be determined date, with prosecutors expressing confidence in their arguments.
They claim the evidence outlining the relationships between Bill Gates’ foundations and organizations, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and key vaccine manufacturers is “clear and compelling.”
According to the prosecution, Gates’ early access to critical information regarding the SARS-CoV-2 virus raises serious questions about his role in the global response to the pandemic.
They allege that Gates not only downplayed evidence suggesting the virus was man-made but also actively misled the public and influenced policies that obscured the true origins of COVID-19.
While Gates has not been found guilty of any wrongdoing, prosecutors argue that even if the virus’s origins were not the result of intentional creation or release, Gates and his associates should still be held accountable for what they describe as “negligence, incompetence, misinformation, and fraud” that contributed to the pandemic’s severity and duration.
