There's a good chance he shorted the market and pocketed billions recently. It is nice of him to share that.

I agree Bill Gates tries to use his money for the greater good.

He recently stepped down from the Microsoft board. I figured he was headed for his bunker but I guess he is spending more time on coronavirus.

Gates said he was picking the top seven vaccine candidates and building manufacturing capacity for them. "Even though we'll end up picking at most two of them, we're going to fund factories for all seven, just so that we don't waste time in serially saying, 'OK, which vaccine works?' and then building the factory," he said.

He does it for the greater good of him and to make himself look good.

Look, if you're ever one of the top 20 wealthiest people on Earth, my guess is that "do the commoners approve of my choices?" is pretty ******* far down your list of TYGAFA.

Yeah, if all Bill Gates cared about was making himself look good then we wouldn't have had Microsoft Bob.

Odd post on many levels.

1. He already has billions and has pledged to give it all away.

2. He already spends and gives away billions.

3. Why would it matter if he shorted the market, everyone has that right and it's the reason markets work; is this what we call a straw man?

4. So he shorted the market for billions only to give it away. A modern day Robin Hood.

Username checks out, unfortunately.

Maybe he can build some of those in Texas?

And I can't imagine the ones not selected will become a total loss.

Bill Gates is far from perfect, but this is still pretty GD cool.

He's wasting literally billions to save us time once a vaccine is proven to be effective. And there are no guarantees any one of these "7 Most Promising" will even be the one.

He taking a huge gamble where the math doesn't work in his favor, and is basically saying he DGAF.

Good on him.

Man gives away more money than this entire board combined will make over our lifetimes and we find people on here trying to take a crap on the action.

Good times.

Where is he building these GMP facilities?

Bill Gates is not a good guy and does not have your best interest in mind; in fact, he has stated on multiple occasions he wants to lower the worlds population. Here's him stating as such on his own YouTube channel.

He recently joined up with a company called ID2020 with the goal of sticking microchips into vaccines. Couple that with the 5G capabilities that are rolling out and you can say good by to your privacy (in the best case scenario). There's a reason he's involved with all these Pandemic exercises (event201); he wants everybody vaccinated.

He's also a racist eugenicist as its been found that a lot of the vaccines he's been involved with in Africa contained chemicals that caused sterility in potentially millions of women. His dad also helped start Planned Parenthood.

Presumably it is posters who hang out on the Politics board. There is a set of posters over there who seem to pretty much hate everybody, and who seem to believe everything that takes place in this world is either fake news or part of a politically motivated conspiracy.

Planned Parenthood was founded before William Gates Sr. was born. Don't be so gullible.

Just because Bill Gates believes that the population expanding out of control and overcrowding may not be the best idea (think of the famine, etc., if the population keeps expanding at the current rate), which makes sense, does not mean that he wants people to die from a pandemic. That's ridiculous.

Bill Gates is renowned for his philanthropy as well, as has been well-documented for years and is further evidenced by this act. I swear there is a conspiracy theory for everything these days.

Moderna and Curevac will get two.

You do realize that the birth rate is almost every nation is falling, right?

Maybe its partly because the mods don't work as much on weekends, but this board is going downhill fast

In developed nations, absolutely, but in the developing world that's not the case at all. In 1920, the population was less than 2 billion and today it is over 7.5 billion. So, it's not crazy for Bill Gates to think keeping population growth lower in developing areas would help enhance infrastructure and help decrease problems with famine.

Regardless, my point had to do with the fact that Bill Gates stating that overpopulation is an issue in no way equates to him conspiring to ensure a pandemic kills people to further his agenda, which is a ridiculous false equivalency.

Not in Subsaharan Africa.

Looks like most subsaharan nations are seeing declining rates as well. They currently operate at a higher rate than almost everywhere else, but it is still falling. Make of that what you will.

True, he did sit on their board, though.

And its all completely irrelevant to this thread and this forum.

Birth rates should decrease to a point as infant mortality rates decrease, which is why birth rates today should be much lower than they were 100 years ago. Obviously, the ideal place would be to stay just above replacement rates. We don't need to start overcrowding, as that causes plenty of issues.

Gates might just be doing this because he doesn't want his family, friends, or himself to contract the disease. I really don't care about motivation if it will get us out of this mess faster

Bill Gates' "philanthropy" is designed to make him more money.

I'm not going to argue about the morals of making money, but I'm going to argue about putting this guy on some sort of god-like pedestal for his "altruism" like many of you do.

Holy ***** You have an Ag Tag. Wow. This is devaluing my degree.

---

Everything I stated can be verified with a Google Search; Or, you could watch the YouTube video I linked where he states himself that population control is one of his key issues.

I'd argue that Texas A&M has done a good enough job themselves devaluing our degrees. I'd also state that if you're still at a point in your career where anybody gives a **** about your degree then you have other issues.

---

Bill Gates believing that overcrowding is bad for developing infrastructure and quality of life does not equate to a massive conspiracy for him to use coronavirus to kill people and "get people vaccinated with 5g chips." You cannot "verify" that with a Google search unless by "verify," you mean find some rantings from folks in tin foil hats on 4chan. Stating that overcrowding is an issue does not mean he wants to actively take people out of the population.

Last thought on this: overcrowding will not be a problem on this planet. Most industrialized nations are below replacement level, and others are falling toward the replacement level barrier. This is happening regardless of Gates and his intentions.
