One might assume that, given his personal access to all of the cutting-edge mRNA technology at his fingerprints, Man of Science™ Bill Gates might be able to find something to help with his fault memory.
Apparently not.
Or else he’s a shameless, psychopathic, congenital liar.

On second thought, let’s assume the latter is the option here.
Or, it could be, as in the case of the Brandon entity, both. If modern politics has taught us anything, it’s that dementia and psychopathy aren’t mutually exclusive.
"I don't remember talking about masks at all," says Bill Gates, apparently unaware or unconcerned that there’s a time capsule called the internet that does remember Bill Gates talking about masks literally nonstop throughout 2020 as he postured as a Public Health™ expert despite no credentials whatsoever (which is an odd exception for the “trust the experts” crowd to make).
Bill Gates: "I don't remember talking about masks at all."

Here we have a small hors d'oeuvre — a mere appetizer — of the feast that is the record of Bill Gates talking about masking in corporate state media, for which he nor his accomplices (the “journalists”) have ever been made to pay.
Via CNBC, September 2020 (emphasis added):
Global health and political leaders could have done many things better in confronting the coronavirus from the outset, philanthropist Bill Gates said, reflecting on the medical and societal response to the pandemic.
And a big one remains a topic of controversy more than eight months after the virus first appeared: the use of face masks.
“The number of things that in retrospect, could have been done better on this pandemic is very, very large,” the Microsoft co-founder said last week while discussing the latest release of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s annual Goalkeepers Report, which measures progress made toward the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals.
“Even the medical community are understanding of the importance of masks. You know, it took us several months — most respiratory diseases are coughing diseases. They’re not talking or singing diseases. And so we got that one wrong. We underestimated the value of masks.”
Mask wearing is now mandatory in a number of countries, cities, businesses and public venues. But medical guidance was conflicted early on, with health authorities initially advising against wearing masks, questioning their efficacy and urging the public to leave them for front-line workers amid a supply shortage. Now, inconsistent mask rules in states and cities and the refusal by large numbers of people, particularly in the U.S., to wear them is contributing to the continued coronavirus spread, many medical professionals say.
We now know masking mandates did nothing to stop or slow the spread of COVID — pseudoscientific New Age nonsense that, again, no one has been made to account for.

Via CNBC, August 2020 (emphasis added):
As health experts continue to plead with Americans to wear masks to help slow the spread of Covid-19, billionaire Bill Gates suggested using peer pressure as a way to get non-mask-wearers to change.
Rather than force people to wear a mask, ”[w]hat you need is that if you’re walking around without a mask, people go, ‘Hey, buddy, that’s inappropriate,”’ Gates told Business Insider in an interview published Thursday.
Here he is, as he infamously did, comparing compulsory masking to forcing people to wear clothes in public.
Bill Gates might have a self-serving selective memory, but, like the internet, I won’t forget, nor will I forgive.
