Bill Gates has been a widely interviewed person over the last year regarding the COVID-19 virus. Why? Maybe the TED talk titled "The Next Outbreak, We're Not Ready" shown 5 years ago might have something to do with this? Or maybe the fact that the Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation has spent millions of dollars funding vaccines for foreign countries? Money that is spent by a foundation but verified by Bill and Melinda through countless hours of research. There has to be accountability for philanthropy. Research, research, and data, data-driven.
With that being said, the public is not always interested in the scientific data which emerges from research. Especially, if the scientific data conflicts with political messaging. In the video below, CNN Correspondent Brianna Keilar reviews Fox & Friends Correspondents attack Bill Gates for his precautions during the holiday season over the COVID-19 virus:
I would be willing to bet a large amount of money on Bill Gates's advice. Whereas, I do not believe the clowns on Fox & Friends who have persistently promoted President Trump's non-science rhetoric. The rhetoric is extremely dangerous to society.
The attack on Bill Gates is unfortunate. Although, as a philanthropist with the amount of work that the organization does, there is bound to be much criticism. Keep up the great work Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation staff. Your work truly is groundbreaking and matters to the world.
