Bill gates is always spending his money eradicating diseases. Maybe he can eradicate this musk disease too
How many children died because Bill Gates lobbied for the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine to be patented?
Idk how many people have died from Covid 19 vax? I keep taking it and my cock is huge, no other side effects
Your claim seems a bit BS. It was apparently to have a better distribution and quality.
AstraZeneca claimed not to get profits from the vaccine sales. This seems kind of fair knowing that doses were sold at about $4 USD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford%E2%80%93AstraZeneca_COVID-19_vaccine#Early_development - https://reliefweb.int/report/world/uk-donates-20-million-more-oxford-astrazeneca-vaccines-countries-need)
Unless you're talking about the side effects?
This. Thank you.
That was a villain level move from Gates. The behaviour of the rich nations towards the LICs over covid vaccines was absolutely shameful and destroyed the illusion of Gates' benevolence.
Given that the Gates Foundation backpedaled that stance shortly after:

Sorry? Exactly when did Oxford open source it's vaccine and allow manufacturing by companies other than Astrazeneca?
Cool story, Bill. Who did you donate to? Why did you cut your philanthropic efforts to fight climate change and disease? Why have you and your buddies fought for minimizing and coopting government for years? Bill isn't innocent in all this, it's just a good time to blame Elon. Don't get me wrong, Elon 100% deserves it, but that doesn't mean that Bill isn't playing the PR game here.
Mmm yes. This is why I Lemmy. This article had so many bots praising him on Reddit. Refreshing to hear something other than boot licking
Why did you cut your philanthropic efforts to fight climate change and disease? Why have you and your buddies fought for minimizing
The problem is that billionaires should not exist but come on. $80 billion already donated. $7 Billion more just for Africa. Hundreds of millions in malaria research.
Could he do more? Sure. But attacking someone who is doing a little because he isn't doing more doesn't seem fair.
Years ago Elon said he was disappointed when he met Bill Gates because Gates only wanted to talk about philanthropy and climate.
so this is what he meant by eliminated world hunger, by killing them directly or indirectly.
I really do think it would be fun to compile all of the billionaires in the world and just have them fight to the death in a gladiator kind of rig. Would be awesome.
Remember there are no good billionaires. No amount of "good" they do will ever be enough.
Chuck Feeney is the closest we will ever get to a "good" billionaire. Donated over 99% of his wealth and spent his retirement being only worth $2 million.
