Why do the protesters hate Bill Gates again? Is it just their general anti-vax sentiments or is there more?

He is making a modest effort to help people without letting the president take credit for it.

Bill gates created the coronavirus to begin population culling and to put in place the mark of the beast.

can't wait for a vaccine to come out in a year, becoming available to the public for $189.99 plus $250 for another test later to make sure you're immune, only to get driven over like a small speedbump by the virus mutating into an even more deadlier form shortly before or afterwards

It's good actually. They're taking the 7 most promising options and mass producing them simultaneously to doing trails so that they can throw away whichever ones don't work. He says in the article that their estimate is 1-2 years for that to happen, so its better than doing 2 years of research and then 2 years of manufacturing work afterwards.

and you can practically hear the PR, "at most we're just wasting money to speed things up" which would be fine if this was funded and directed by an actual government, but just lol of the founder of loving Microsoft isn't going to use this upfront cost to justify the price per unit later, if this investment pays out

Oh, another "down the grapevine" piece of information about the arrests: the fevers are keeping people warm. So people who would normally be more easily identifiable as dead for a while because they're cool to the touch will still feel warm enough that EMTs and medics think they're a recent arrest and thus have a better chance of a save. Absent stuff like dependent lividity or rigor we don't have a lot of tools to assess if someone is too dead to work but there's talk that some people we're working have probably been dead longer than it seems because their fever had them warm enough that providers think it's a recent arrest when in fact they've been dead a while.

Temperature alone isn't something we can use to determine obvious but it gives us a false sense of recency of the death so it's a complicating factor.

i mean, bill gates is definitely a huge piece of poo poo. he just isn't using vaccinations to cull children in africa like the chuds have been saying.

as if they would care if it wasn't "rich liberal dude" anyway.

I hate billionaires and the idea of being rich as much as anyone, but once you accept that we're stuck with them for the moment, then after that its good whenever a billionaire gives money to a charity or to medical research efforts. While bill gates has certainly made the planet a worse place to live in many ways, I think it's dumb as poo poo to claim that he's trying to turn a profit on this.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Is being at 104 instead of 98 when you wake up dead really going to keep you warm substantially longer than normal?

people can do things without ulterior motives. the gates foundation has certainly done it's share of loving things up for profitability in the name of philanthropy though. their decades of work to bring private corporations into the classroom is well known

also, the Gates are billionaires. they are by definition immoral. this has nothing to do with Gates being the target of chuds of course, but come on.

I was answering the question, chuds aren’t approaching this with nuance so ideas like “being a billionaire is immoral” doesn’t factor into it.
