Gates claims to support free speech but insists that the First Amendment should have “rules” in case a person expresses a view that is “causing people not to take vaccines.” “We should have free speech, but if you’re inciting violence, if you’re causing people not to take vaccines, where are those boundaries that even the US should have rules?” Gates said.“And then if you have rules, what is it?”
Gates was less forthcoming about who he believes should have the authority to decide what those rules are, however.
