When it comes to Bill Gates, many people's first reaction may still be Microsoft. However, from resigning as CEO in 2000 to resigning as chairman in 20 14, and then officially leaving the board of directors on March 14, 2020, he is gradually getting rid of the imprint of Microsoft and shifting his focus to a more important "business card"-Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (referred to as Gates Foundation), whose main direction is to resist human infectious diseases.
After the epidemic last year, in order to get the anti-epidemic rhythm of the United States on the right track as soon as possible, he tried his best: on the one hand, he frequently appeared in the media to express his views, popular science, warning and earnest; While giving full play to the advantages of the richest man, he donated money and materials at all costs and became a veritable "pioneer in fighting the epidemic." In early March, when the epidemic began to spread in the United States, Gates spared no effort. For the first time, the Gates Foundation sent free home test kits to Seattle residents.
Gates once said in a speech: There are 6.8 billion people in the world now, and it may increase to 9 billion in the future. Good medical insurance and vaccines will slow down the population growth (about 10%- 15%), so that we will not reach the population explosion in the end. As early as 20 15, Gates predicted in a speech: "If anything can kill more than100000 people in the next few decades, it is probably a highly contagious virus, not a war." 201910 June 18, John, USA? The Hopkins Center for Health and Safety cooperated with the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum to simulate a desktop exercise of global plague epidemic. Soon, the global epidemic broke out.
So many accusations are obviously arranged by conspiracy theorists in a "well-founded" way, which seems to be "irrefutable evidence". So many people knew nothing about rumors and began to "criticize" Gates. Someone left a message on the social platform saying "I am not a doctor, and neither is Gates", which shows that Gates' words are not credible.
When talking with Bai, Gates clearly responded to this conspiracy theory: "I think this is quite ironic, especially for those who try their best to help the world and prepare for the epidemic. At present, I have donated billions of dollars to fund the research and development of tools to deal with infectious diseases, and try my best to solve the worldwide infectious diseases, including infectious diseases that may cause a pandemic. But the current situation is a bit crazy, which will inevitably lead to many incredible rumors. "
Anyone who knows the Bill Gates Charity Foundation will not think this statement is credible. The United States is a country with a high degree of freedom and democracy, so once it is associated with it, it misinterprets Gates' practice. You know, when a gossip becomes popular, it will be more true than the truth.
