People dismissing valid criticism, are just as bad as people making up conspiracy theories that are being criticized in the above comment.

There is no way you cannot talk about the Gates foundation when talking about the AZ covid vaccine[1]. It was supposed to be open access and the Gates foundation lobbied to sell it to AZ which has a horrible track record[2].

I personally think that had they not lobbied that hard to privatize the Oxford vaccine, the problems with the AZ vaccine, would probably have been fixed with further iterations by third parties and the discussion would have looked a bit differently. But we will never know. It's worth noting that the medical branch of the Gates foundation is run by ex pharma bros.

At end of the day Gates is just another greedy grifter, hiding his greed behind altruism. That puts him squarely in line with most Billionaires that have their own little foundations that help them steer and lobby shit instead of paying tax.
