If there was a lady billionaire talking about making a vaccine chuds would focus less on Bill Gates.

If it was an attractive blonde lady at a start-up the chuds and politicians would be tripping over themselves to give her money

You have lead poisoning if you're against billionaires giving away their money for vaccine research during a global pandemic when the US has been totally abandoned by its politicians and vulnerable people are dropping like flies.

Absolutely amazing to me how Bill Gates, whose evil intentions were a punchline throughout the 90s (Tim Robbins played him as a cutthroat, devious murderer in classic 2001 hacker thriller Antitrust), managed to leave the public eye and start laundering money through his foundation just long enough to fully rehab his image, in spite of being a known Epstein associate

If we come out of this with a vaccine at all (let alone one that isn't designed to need a booster every 12 months, gotta get in on those recurring costs) we should thank our lucky loving stars

Expecting a vaccine to be developed in 12 to 18 months is probably overly optimistic.

and the robber barons funded colleges just to redeem their souls..... this isn't qanon stuff

there very well could be good that comes out of Gates self insertion into experimental biomed manufacturing, especially in light of our current options.... but rushing human trials certainly adds risks, and saying "ready in 1 year" and getting that in people's brains will increase the pressure to cut corners.

no one is talking about the fastest vaccine we've been able to make, which took 4 years. most people do not understand how this is different than yearly flu shots

Sure, it would be good to have a vaccine, but you're a rube if you can't see how allowing private entities to become the providers of socially necessary things undermines democracy

Though it may be a necessary evil in this extreme circumstance, you don't do yourself any favors by pretending this is a good and proper arrangement of affairs

For you youngins out there,

Yes, there was stuff like Ruby Ridge, and Waco, and Heaven's Gate in the 90s. There were crazies back then.

But the general culture reaction was one of outright shock. Like "holy poo poo these people are loving CRAZY!!! How do we stop this from ever happening again?! This is so wrong!"

Now, every single loving day there's a parade of armed lunatics screaming about cell phone towers and blowing up churches and shooting elementary school kids and the cultural reaction is "lol, yeah, that's America lmao"

waco in particular basically destroyed the governments will to do anything about armed lunatics. to this day you’ll still see people in the comment sections of newspapers and whatever randomly shout WACO like some sort of defensive spasm to validate their paranoia

also, if Gates was giving away his money that would be one thing, but this is funding through their philanthropy. he retains a degree of control of the money.

if he just dropped $10B into WHO coffers, no strings attached, I would absolutely applaud that
