Doesn’t saving human lives contribute to Global Warming?

As long as this is his own money and he isn’t running around demanding that big brother take it from others, more power to him.

If this measure alleviates a sense of crisis, ironically the left will hate him MORE, not less. Lefties NEED emergencies and death —in this way they can rob folks.

They will REALLY make him PAY for this...

Wait, the title is misleading, he did “make” a donation, he only “pledged” it. So I think I might pledge $1,000,000,000. And my money wasn’t made based on ill gotten gains from selling crappy software based on QDOS software bought off some poor guy for $50k and rebranding it, my money is just made up money.

Good start, but a long way to go before he atones for Windows ME.

While it's certainly admirable to endeavor to vaccinate the world's children, $10 billion might be better invested in businesses in those countries so that they can grow their own respective economies and buy the vaccinations - perhaps even develop the vaccinations - for themselves.

Of course, that's not popular with the globalist crowd because an investment might actually return a dividend in the form of profit. That would be horrible because money and profit are evil. It's sad that a guy who's presumably as smart as Gates buys into such rubbish.

And this kind of giving would happen even more often if government wouldn’t try to steal it all first.

Anyway this article was written by a mad liberal (or a mad liberal) against Silvio Berlusconi (sic!). Why liberals are so stupid? They are not interested in what Bill Gates has done. that’s the truth.

This country going to hell in a hand basket and he spends the money overseas. I mean he is free to do what he wants and all, but wouldn’t it be better to put this money into something sustainable, like a business here in the USA? I mean this country gave him everything he has in terms of opportunity and he spends the money elsewhere.

He is free to do what he wants and I would never try and force him to do otherwise. I even would rather see him spend the money that way than have it confiscated by our government when he dies. But spend the money HERE please Mr. Gates.

"Bill Gates made the largest ever single charitable donation when he pledged $10billion (£6billion) to develop and distribute vaccines."

About time he learned something about anti-viruses.

I don't want to be a party pooper or something, but it seems to me the poorer countries have no food as it is ... and BG wants to save more lives to increase the already (over)full population?

It's a noble idea, Bill ... but ....

Are we supposed to believe Jesse Ventura and his *expose* on the Bilderberg group and it's scheme for depopulation through use of vaccines?

Just askin' b/c reportedly Melinda Gates has attended the Bilderberg meetings.

I think that is great that he wants to vaccinate those who survive the UN abortion program that he is the biggest donor to.

So basically ...let’s vaccinate those we don’t kill. Way to go Bill.

Saving thousands of children in other countries is a good cause. Killing thousands in the womb in America is not. Maybe Mr. Gates would like to contribute to saving our unborn here at home.

A man that gives away his money to charity is a saint. A man that demands your money for a charity is a scoundrel.

Good for him. I hope the vaccines better than his other anti-virus products.
