TED, the annual gathering of the most pretentious people from the fields of technology, entertainment, and design, just got punk'd. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates released a swarm of mosquitos into the crowd.
Ending malaria is a particular passion of Gates's, whose Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent millions fighting the disease. But he apparently didn't feel like TED attendees were taking the threat seriously. "Not only poor people should experience this," Gates said as he let the bugs loose on his audience, according to Facebook manager Dave Morin. (eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and Twitter CEO Ev Williams confirm the report.)
A showman's way of making a point, perhaps. But it doesn't do much to undo Gates's reputation, borne out of the Microsoft antitrust investigations of the 1990s, that the man considers himself above the law. Doesn't California's Health and Safety Code have something to say about insect infestations?
Hey, Bill...
So every years approx 50 million babies dies from this easily stopped mosquito borne disease, but the liberals conjured up a 'case study' that using DDT will harm the environment (which is more important to them) more than saving human lives; after all humans do breed like rabbits and are expendable.
Millions of BLACK BABIES DIE because DDT was banned with the help of that Rachel what’s her name.......was she a RACIST like Margaret Sanger?? And wanted BLACK BABIES to die?? That’s why she got DDT banned.....the ONE thing that would help BLACK BABIES LIVE??? hmmmmmm.
Bill Gates proves, once again, that liberalism is a mental disease.

The world’s richest geek could have made his point better by passing out baggies of DDT powder.
The mosquitos took off normally, but slowed down considerably and froze in mid-air. They were then scanned for viruses and re-released after getting patched.
“Not only poor people should experience this,”
Interesting how a mosquito can distinguish between rich or poor...
Gates is now on his way down the well-worn billionaire path of BONKERS!!!!

Some of us are extremely allergic to insect stings and bites. I hope someone sues the idiot.
