A Dutch court has ruled that Bill Gates and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla must appear in person to testify at a hearing in a COVID-19 vaccine injury lawsuit.
The court order relates to a lawsuit filed in 2023 by seven people injured by the experimental COVID jabs. One of the victims has since died.
The Defender reports: The lawsuit centers around the question of whether the COVID-19 injections are a bio-weapon, Dutch newspaper De Andere Krant reported.
In addition to Gates and Bourla, the suit names 15 other defendants, including former Dutch prime minister and current NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, the Dutch state, and several Dutch public health officials and journalists.
De Andere Krant said last month’s ruling is a significant setback for the defendants, who are accused of misleading victims about the ‘safety and effectiveness’ of the vaccines.
However, it remains to be seen whether the defendants will comply with the court’s order and appear at next year’s hearing.
The defendants may face additional legal challenges in Dutch courts in the new year. A second lawsuit, filed in March by three COVID-19 vaccine injury victims in the Netherlands, presents a similar set of allegations and names the same defendants.
At a press conference last week, Dutch attorney Peter Stassen, who represents the vaccine-injured plaintiffs in both cases, earlier this month petitioned the courts in both cases to hear in-person testimony by five expert witnesses regarding the safety and efficacy of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
According to Stassen, oral hearings will be held in both cases next year, but hearing dates have not yet been scheduled. Stassen seeks to consolidate the cases.
The expert witnesses include:
- Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of the Solari Report and former assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
- Sasha Latypova, a former pharmaceutical research and development executive.
- Joseph Sansone, Ph.D., a psychotherapist who is litigating to prohibit mRNA vaccines in Florida.
- Katherine Watt, a researcher and paralegal.
- Mike Yeadon, Ph.D., a pharmacologist and former vice president of Pfizer’s allergy and respiratory research unit.
Earlier this month, Stassen and the expert witnesses released a series of YouTube videos presenting their evidence and proposed testimony.
Plaintiffs ‘victims of people who unjustly suppress the truth’
Both lawsuits have taken a circuitous path in the Dutch court system.
In October 2024, the District Court of Leeuwarden rejected Gates’ motion to dismiss the case, ruling that it has jurisdiction over Gates and ordering Gates to pay the defendants’ legal fees.
In June 2025, the plaintiffs increased their claims against the defendants and petitioned the court to accept the expert witnesses’ testimony.
On Dec. 7, Stassen submitted written statements and the recorded video statements by the expert witnesses to the District Court of Leeuwarden.
The second lawsuit kicked off in March with an application for preliminary evidence proceedings.
In August, the District Court of Leeuwarden denied the application, finding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to seek a preliminary hearing while attempting to join the 2023 lawsuit.
In September, Stassen filed an appeal, alleging that the court did not afford the plaintiffs a fair trial, in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights, and calling upon the court to allow the expert witnesses to testify in court.
During last week’s press conference, Stassen said the plaintiffs — and the broader public — are victims of people who unjustly suppress the truth.
“By suppressing the truth, my clients were misled. Had they not been misled, they would not have gotten the COVID-19 shot, a shot that the suppressors of the truth still tout as a safe and effective vaccine to this day,” Stassen said.

Expert witnesses: COVID shots ‘indistinguishable from Bio-weapons’
During the press conference, Stassen also noted his efforts to have the Dutch courts accept his expert witnesses’ in-person testimony. He said the witnesses intend to present evidence showing that the COVID-19 shots:
- Are indistinguishable from bio-weapons.
- Offer no health benefits whatsoever.
- Are neither safe nor effective.
- Were released in the U.S. under emergency use authorization, a legal status that removes the enforcement of the pharmaceutical law and consumer safeguards by the FDA, or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
- Are by design, intended to cause the damage described in the package insert and reports as side effects — including, sudden death, heart failure, cancer, and the most horrific diseases.
- Are a key component of the Great Reset, a military project in which NATO plays a significant role.
In their video statements, the experts questioned the safety of the COVID-19 shots and the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sansone told The Defender that he and the other expert witnesses are advocating to testify in court, as this can be more influential than written testimony.
Sansone said he intends to provide evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines are bio-weapons that violate the Biological Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 — the latter authored by late University of Illinois law professor Francis Boyle, Ph.D., an expert witness in the original lawsuit who died in January 2025.

Governments, healthcare facilities and the media deliberately concealed this information from the public, showing clear criminal intent, Sansone said in his video.
Latypova told The Defender the lawsuits are the only ones worldwide alleging that COVID was not a public health event but a government ‘project’ that resulted in mass casualty that can be characterized as ‘genocide,’ or more broadly, ‘democide’ of the population.
In her statement, Latypova alleged that military governance and contracting were used to develop, procure, deliver, distribute these shots all over the world — and to bypass standard regulatory oversight procedures for pharmaceutical products.

There is substantial evidence of non-compliance with good manufacturing practices, which is the law that governs pharmaceutical purity and honesty in labeling all over the world, Latypova said.
Watt said the vaccines were a component of a broader effort by political, military and pharmaceutical actors to deceive the public, using the pandemic as a pretext.
Communicable disease and pandemic threats are political fabrications based on widespread use of intentionally deceptive diagnostic testing devices for the purposes of instilling public fear and justifying vaccination and bio-defense programs, she said.
According to Fitts, global central banks and financial institutions were involved in these efforts. She said the pandemic represented an egregious misuse of healthcare policies to implement economic and political agendas with the goal of engineering a Great Reset of the global financial system.
Yeadon said that since 2020, he has attempted to warn the public that the COVID-19 vaccines are designed to lower the fertility [rate] and [people’s health] and reduce population.
He said that even though he was censored on social media for making such comments, this is what I have watched happen all around me for five years.

Pfizer CEO sought to block expert witnesses, dismiss lawsuits
Stassen said that several of the defendants, including Bourla, Rutte and the Dutch state, sought to block the testimony of the plaintiffs’ expert witnesses. Gates was the only defendant who deferred to the court’s judgment on this point, Stassen said.
In September, Gates and Bourla submitted written statements of defense.
In his statement, Gates said he does not have any connection to or influence over the policies of international bodies such as the World Health Organization, either personally or through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bourla said the court has been sufficiently informed and can dismiss the claims without the need to order an oral hearing.
In a previous statement submitted to the District Court of Leeuwarden last year, Bourla denied that he was liable for the injuries and damages the plaintiffs sustained and maintained that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective.
Dutch Lawyer prosecuting Bill Gates kidnapped by Military Police
In June, another attorney for the plaintiffs, Arno van Kessel, was arrested by the Marechaussee with considerable force, as part of a nationwide sweep by Dutch police against alleged members of a sovereign citizen movement with a potential intent to use violence against the Dutch state. He remains confined in a high-security prison.
De Andere Krant reported that earlier this month, van Kessel’s pre-trial detention was extended until February, despite a complete lack of convincing evidence.

The Dutch have the bells ringing, but do not be surprised with the outcome of this trail, the offense chose a court in Leeuwarden for strategic reasons, but later on it will be turned into a Kangaroo court verdict in favor of the ones poisoning the worldwide populations.
Money talks, BS walks they say.
I agree with the findings of the action brought by the plaintiffs I have refused all Covid injections (shots ) and even when I caught Covid , –I am still alive due only to my body naturally building up immunity to it .
Of course I was pressurized by doctors/public to take them but I resisted as intuitionally I realised they weren’t natural but made within laboratories that also help the Defence Industry /Military manufacture chemicals used in germ warfare .
In the USA Class actions have already been brought .
Each should be ordered to receive 100 doses in 100 days of the very same injection they gave billions around the globe.
