Gates becomes the target of the 'microchip vaccine' conspiracy theory
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates became the central figure of a baseless conspiracy theory claiming he planned to use vaccines to implant tracking microchips in people. The claim — repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers — spread so widely that polls in 2020 found roughly one in three Americans believed it. Gates called the theories 'so stupid' and 'tragic,' warning they could discourage life-saving vaccination.

Gates keeps a collection of rare and classic cars
Despite his reputation for frugality in some areas, Bill Gates has long indulged a passion for cars, assembling a collection that has included several Porsches — among them the 911 he has owned for decades and the storied 959 — as well as other classics. His automotive tastes, and the saga of importing the then-illegal 959, are among the more colorful footnotes of his personal life.

Gates retreats for solitary, twice-yearly 'Think Weeks'
For years Bill Gates retreated twice a year to a secluded cabin for a solitary 'Think Week,' during which he read stacks of papers, books, and employee proposals with no interruptions, emerging with strategic memos that shaped Microsoft's direction. The ritual became famous as a model of deep, focused thinking by a busy executive, and was credited with helping spark major pivots — including Microsoft's embrace of the internet. Gates carried the habit of voracious, deliberate reading into his philanthropy.
