Covid doesn’t qualify as significant bodily or death destruction. It’s only a bit worse than the standard flu
Gates is only looking at
152,000 dead Americans in just a few months is pretty significant.
Influenza kills about 37,000 people a year. SARS-CoV-2 has killed 4 years worth of flu deaths in 5 months. It is ABSOLUTELY worth having a vaccine for it. President Trump has led the way on this and provided much more funding than Gates or anyone else.
That’s why Americans will have the vaccine available first.
