"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation promised Africa a “Green Revolution” to fight hunger and poverty. It hasn't worked — but it has upped corporate agriculture’s profits."

It's almost like it was always about the profit. Strange

In 2015 and 2019 the Gates foundation invested in Moderna and BioNTech and retargeted them towards vaccine development and production. This investment will pay off handsomely. Are you going to tell me that this was about the profit too?
I don't really understand the thrust of your question. A purportedly absurd chain of reasoning with respect to one Gates Foundation initiative which ends in "they did it for the profit" means that that could not possibly be the case for any other one?
