This article is for subscribers only.
David Bateman, one of the founders of Utah tech startup Entrata Inc., resigned from the board after sending an antisemitic email espousing Covid-19 vaccine conspiracy theories.
The email, reviewed by Bloomberg, claimed that vaccines represented a plot to “euthanize the American people” and that “the Jews are behind this.” The email went on to say “for 300 years the Jews have been trying to infiltrate the Catholic Church” in a bid for “totalitarian rule.” The message was sent to several prominent figures in Utah’s political and tech scene, including the governor. The existence of the letter was first reported Tuesday by a local outlet.
