Did Gaddafi talk about the intentional creation of viruses for the sale of antidotes?

Since the beginning of the Pandemia of Coronavirus, the words allegedly said by the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi about the artificially created "them" Viruses for the sale of "antidotes". Gaddafi allegedly added that "they will pretend that they need time to search for a solution, while it will already be with them." We checked whether he really said that.

Words that quote in Media And social networks, allegedly sounded during the speech of Muammar Gaddafi at the UN General Assembly in 2009: “They themselves will create viruses and sell you antidotes. Then they will pretend that they need time to search for a solution, while it will already be with them. ” They sound on the network Opinionsthat Gaddafi predicted the Pandemia of Coronavirus back in 2009, and someone He thinksthat it was for this that he was killed. This quote also distribute English -speaking networks of the network, also noting the accuracy of his condensed prediction.

The late head of Libya Muammar Gaddafi really made a speech at the 64th General Assembly of the UN in 2009. Speeches of the leaders of countries at events of this level, as a rule, are recorded on video, literally transcable And they are translated into both working languages ​​of the UN Secretariat - English and French. Therefore, having checked with transcript, it is easy to make sure that the distributed quote was not present in his speech, at least literally.

In his speech, Gaddafi really spoke of viruses and claimed that capitalist companies create them, and then sell vaccines against them:

“Perhaps tomorrow there will be fish flu, because sometimes we produce viruses, controlling them. This is a commercial business. Capitalist companies produce viruses to produce and sell vaccines. This is a very shameful and bad ethics. Vaccinations and medicines should not be sold. In the Green Book I claim that medicines should not be sold or subject to commercialization. Medicines should be free, and vaccinations should be free for children, but capitalist companies produce viruses and vaccinations and want to make a profit. Why are they not free? We must give them for free, not sell them. ”

Gaddafi also assumed: “Perhaps the influenza H1N1 was created in the laboratory that got out of control, and initially had to be a military weapon.”

Thus, we see that the network gives a distorted quote. Gaddafi did not say that the pharmaceutical companies allegedly postpone the release of a ready -made vaccine, pretending to be time for development. Most likely, an erroneous quote came to Runet from the English -language segment. On English This phrase began to spread in March 2020, during the first wave of coronavirus, and on Russian - Only in August. Perhaps someone interpreted the words of Gaddafi and pretended to be a literal quote. And then this quote gained popularity due to the excitement around the beginning pandemic, which Gaddafi allegedly predicted 11 years before it began.
