Sorry, Nancy, but I gotta add my fact-checks to the previous ones. I don't know where on the 'net you're going for your research, but I suggest you look elsewhere because they have you thinking some things that just aren't true.

I can find no evidence that Gates or his foundation own stock in Moderna. What I find is the opposite: they own no stock in Moderna, or what they own is so small that it's not reported publicly. But the Gates Foundation DOES own stock in two of Moderna's competitors, Pfizer and BioNTech.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/12/30/fact-check-post-falsely-ties-bill-and-melinda-gates-wuhan-lab-moderna/4073092001/

As for the reported side effects of the Moderna vaccine and its competitors, I'll take whatever vaccine I can get. I'd much rather take a chance on the rare side effects of a very effective vaccine than with getting the actual infection, which if it doesn't kill you is now known to have lasting and life-altering consequences for many folks.

I've found no evidence that Gates wants to reduce world population by "10 - 15%". What he actually said is he wants to reduce population GROWTH by ten to fifteen percent, which is totally different. That means the population will still grow, just by slightly less. And I think we can all agree that a lower rate of population growth is a good thing.

As other have pointed out, neither Gates nor his foundation own "a majority of farmland in the US". The Gates Foundation owns about a quarter of a million acres of farmland, which is really a drop in the bucket. By comparison, the King Ranch (ranchland, not farmland) alone is over 800 thousand acres. The idea that Gates can somehow leverage his farmland holdings to control what we choose to eat is preposterous.

I find it interesting that nobody seems to have a problem with how Bill Gates made his money. Just to refresh your memory, Gates spent decades behaving like a textbook monopolist, crushing his rivals with anti-competitive practices and forcing his mediocre software on the rest of us. Everybody seems to be just fine with that. But now that Gates has decided to put his considerable fortune to use solving the world's most pressing problems, folks are up in arms. It seems y'all don't like it when someone acts charitably, perhaps even Christian.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
