Malaria deaths have fallen by 60% in the last 15 years, saving on the order of 12 million lives. Bill's foundation has donated around $4B to the cause.
And yeah, it's got Melinda's name on it, but let's face it, virtually all the money is from Bill/Microsoft.
meh..Just because he donated doesn't mean one should ignore or dilute the severity of alleged crimes. Infact, I would trade someone who doesn't commit any such acts and still does not donate over someone who donates but does worst of all the crimes.
Bill Gates isn't alleged to have participated in Epstein's crimes. He does seem to have cheated on his wife repeatedly, which I agree is terrible behavior.
You should know better than to be defending evil people.
Evil is, as evil does.
Bill Gates and his Foundation have a bad rep long before his Epstein link came into the news.
Who better to collude with a known child trafficker/molester, than one who has no qualms in killing children via illegal vaccines/drugs to help his nexus with Big Pharma.
Bill & Melinda Gates' Foundation's evil illegal "vaccine trials" on tribal children (especially girls) in India (without the consent of them and their parents) directly caused the deaths of several children, hospitalizations of scores of such innocent victims, and it was a huge conspiracy and controversy that was uncovered during investigations by Supreme Court and police.

The Gates Foundation operates like a monopolistic unethical pharmaceutical company (as a weapon and Think Tank of Big Pharma) under the guise of a charitable NGO or grantmaker.

I have no reason to defend BMGF and enjoy a good comeuppance probably more than the next person, but the article you linked to about the issues in India is far from the smoking gun in the hands BMGF you seem to think it is.
From the article: an already-approved vaccine (by FDA and others) was given to children via a trial run by an NGO (PATH) and was funded by BMGF. The trial was apparently run unethically, and in addition a year or so later it was found that girls administered the vaccine had possibly experienced adverse events, some very serious.
(Based on the article alone) it’s very likely that BMGF would have been totally hands off in overseeing the trial, and would certainly have had strict agreements with PATH. If there were indeed ethical breaches, I’m sure BMGF was very unhappy about this. Moreover, while we of course shouldn’t ignore the safety findings, attributing events causally to the vaccination against the standard background rate of events in a particular population is rife with uncertainty.
And of course, the trial potentially being unethically run doesn’t make the (already- and still-approved) vaccine more dangerous… but does make it easier to whip up sensation and clicks for articles, especially if there’s a big rich US Foundation also tangentially involved.
Please stop whitewashing evildoers and stop excluding relevant facts on the exposés of such evils.
BMGF (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) is funding such evils across the world, this was not some isolated incident that Bill and Melinda Gates were unaware of.
Furthermore, did the Gates do repatriations to the victims of this experimental drug? Nope. Did they even apologize for funding clinical-trials-without-consent of experimental drugs that they dared not test properly in their own country? Nope.
They knew what evil they were doing, and they didn't care.
Bill and Melinda Gates are guilty of mass murders of innocent children. No wonder they were in cahoots with that evil Epstein.
And I'll expose some more of your whitewashing here.
Entire world knows the FDA is in the pockets of Big Pharma, so FDA approval means shit. FDA itself is funded by Big Pharma.
Why Is Biopharma Paying 75% Of The FDA’s Drug Division Budget? https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnlamattina/2022/09/22/why-is...
So explain if you dare: why are the clinical trials of unproven drugs by American megacorporations and American billionaires being done on poor illiterate tribals (or underprivileged communities) in India and Africa, rather than on American citizens first?
Don't want your children to die or be affected due to such experimental drugs, do you? Show me where clinical trials of this HPV vaccine has been done on minors in USA.
But you feel it is okay if some healthy children in some poor or developing nation die due to such unethical BioPharma experiments, especially when those experiments are done WITHOUT consent from the children and their parents?!!

"A standing committee on health and family welfare that investigated the irregularities pertaining to the observation studies in India tabled its report.
The committee found that consent for conducting these studies, in many cases, was taken from the hostel wardens, which was a flagrant violation of norms. In many other cases, thumbprint impressions of their poor and illiterate parents were duly affixed onto the consent form. The children also had no idea about the nature of the disease or the vaccine. The authorities concerned could not furnish requisite consent forms for the vaccinated children in a huge number of cases.
The standing committee report was a shocker but it became even more significant when it was mentioned that the study was sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF).
When a team of health activists - from an NGO (Sama) that specializes in women’s health - visited on a fact-finding mission, they were told that as many as 120 girls vaccinated with HPV had experienced adverse reactions such as epileptic seizures, severe stomach ache, headaches and mood swings. The Sama report also said there had been cases of early onset of menstruation following the vaccination, heavy bleeding and severe menstrual cramps among many students. The standing committee pulled up the relevant state governments for the shoddy investigation into these deaths. It said it was disturbed to find that “all the seven deaths were summarily dismissed as unrelated to vaccinations without in-depth investigations…the speculative causes were suicides, accidental drowning in well (why not suicide?), malaria, viral infections, subarachnoid hemorrhage (without autopsy) etc.”
The committee said that in the context of deaths of girls classified as suicide, the role of the “HPV vaccine as a possible, if not probable, cause of suicidal ideation cannot be ruled out.”
In this thread; exploiters of child labor engaged in empty rhetorical debate. Zero to be accomplished by it. Just chimps in emotional cages slapping the dopamine button.
I am sure the sweatshop kids work under informed consent too and were given a choice between 996 in the textile factory and education.
300 million Americans are incredibly deluded about their place in a world of 8 billion.
America operates with a monopoly on unethical labor practices.
None of you are in the streets to put each other on the hook for your own healthcare or extend the offer to your neighbors. That's how much money obsessed Americans care about their own existence; happy to roll the dice they don't get some illness and lose it all to medical debt versus ask their neighbors to get their back.
Meanwhile every other modernized country has single payer.
Cosplay rugged individuals who don't need the help, while codependent on sweatshop labor.
Such an unserious people.
The American people voted for Biden and twice for Trump - both of whom have unfavorable reputations regarding the way they behave with minor girls.
Bush Sr. and Jr. openly did wars for oil, under fake excuses like "WMDs".
"Gentleman" Obama too has a dubious distinction - he's the only two-term American President who kept his country directly involved in wars throughout those tenures, including wars he himself signed off to start. Yet he shamelessly went and collected that Nobel Peace Prize.
And Trump was so miffed at not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, that he unleashed tariff wars on all allies, and then arrogantly invaded a sovereign peaceful nation (Venezuela), and he's now threatening to seize Cuba (he's already stopped all oil going to it, in order to cripple this struggling nation that CIA destabilized since decades), Greenland, Columbia, Canada and whatnot.
AFAIK, no American president has bothered to take serious efforts to prevent gun shootings in American schools and colleges. USA has maximum mass shootings and maximum school shootings compared to rest of the world, the statistics are really shocking. (The evil that happened as the Uvalde school shooting, where the shooter was protected and aided by the police themselves - such avoidable tragedies on innocent children just breaks my heart.)
It seems that healthcare and safety of children are the least of the worries of the Americans, as they keep voting for such fakers and warmongers to be their President.
Interesting to see how this is getting downvoted. Somewhat expected. Many more head would roll from this scandal. Bill Gates, Peter Thiel are just starters
Yeah, I am surprised that when I am stating known facts with relevant links, my comments are getting downvoted.
It is as if Gates's team are lurking here in HN, to immediately downvote any comments that reveal the truths about him. Hmmm.
No wonder his wife divorced him. She should have done it long ago.
But she too (as part of their Foundation) is culpable for the deaths of those tribal children given those illegal vaccines.

Not surprised to see this getting faded into obscurity.
Hypocrisy News.
The truths can be suppressed for a while, but they are bound to come out.
Karma will have its way, and its say.

But much of the motivation for starting a foundation is from Melinda.
I think it's the opposite. Bill credited his parents for his philanthropic drive and Warren buffet as the person who first introduced him to the idea of giving everything away. He's been active and knowledgeable in his philanthropy and posts frequently about global health, poverty, aid, etc.
Melinda also, of course, did work for their joint foundation before she left. Since leaving, she shifted her philanthropic focus more to US women's health and reproductive rights.
Bill has committed to giving away nearly all his wealth (99%) over the next 19 years. Melinda is still committed to giving away over 50% of her wealth over her lifetime.
I don't see any evidence that Melinda was the primary driver for Bill's philanthropy.
It’s almost like it was done… as a team.
Where one side provided all the money, the other side provided the direction.
Both were necessary. Weird huh?
