If this is produced by Pfizer or some other company he is invested in, sure. Otherwise he will fall back to talking bs all day long like he does with Malaria.

For those downvoting: His foundation made sure the WHO subcontracts all studies to companies he has a stake in. He isn't a saint, he is a capitalist.

Can you elaborate on this? I thought he was a type of person who does more than he talks.

Sure, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is used for tax evasion, supporting corporate interest in developing countries and to control the WHO.

They even advised not to lower prices for vaccines, because then pharma corporations wouldn't invest in the global south anymore.

If you have evidence of tax evasion, I'm sure the tax authorities would love to hear about it.

I guess they mean tax avoidance

Ah, yeah, maybe. I wonder if people know that non-profits, especially those that are that large, are given heavy financial scrutiny and that they can actually check the financial information themselves? The foundation will have a link to download their financial information and, given the levels of oversight and mandatory auditing, they are almost certain to be accurate.

The Gates Foundation does great things. I've never understood the complaints. They are pretty heavily scrutinized and their actions are fairly public. It's not some nefarious organization, at least it isn't from what I've read.

Edited to add: Hmm... They responded with a stange, now dead, comment. I am no longer sure what they meant. It'd appear they think Jobs is my false god. I remain baffled.

What if he has a stake in companies that he believes are getting it right, and that's why he would make sure they would be the ones getting the job?

He's doing it to win a Nobel prize, not for money.
