Since when is Gates an expert on Covid or any other disease. He reads the same stuff we do.
Gates has been nearly fully preoccupied with vaccines for years. This is something that very few people do.
Not to say he is an expert, or that even if he is, that he is wise or altruistic. Only that if you spent 8-12 hours a day reading only vaccine stuff (and probably rubbing elbows with professional virologists), you’d be working with way more virus information and would have learned that vernacular.
The public level discourse has not attempted to honestly educate. It has been to mislead with platitudes. This is what “smart people” tend to do - look down, talk down, and mislead in order to gain popularity for the policy position that they personally prefer.
I think Gates is a crook. A bad person. That prejudice of mine filters everything he says. Same with Fauci, Birx, and many others. Self-serving liars.
