    Surprised I had to scroll so long for this article. This is probably the best example (recent history too) of Bill’s actions killing kids.

    I’m still glad he called Elon out. Let them fight.

        This isn’t Bill’s action, it’s Bill’s inaction.

        If you had read the article, you would know that he very actively pressured Oxford not to open license the vaccine, leveraging his $750 million donation to the university for vaccine research.

            Really? Show me where.

            It claims that he bragged about doing so

            The sentence after where it says that… You have ctrl f. Use it.

            that other article doesn’t support that claim with any evidence that he pressured them to keep their patent, that he bragged about it, or had any say in the final decision.

            Not sure what “evidence” you want… Bill Gates said it was true himself and did multiple interviews talking about it which are not hard to find. Every article I can find online says the same story - that Oxford initially planned to open license the vaccine and then Gates pressured them to change course.

        I agree. The difference between the two is stark.
