Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg will spend $3 billion to fight diseases and make "a better future for our children and generations to come," he wrote in a Facebook post.
Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla will spend $3 billion to fight all diseases through the Chan Zuckberg Inititiave, he announced on Wednesday at an event in San Francisco that was live streamed on Facebook.
The couple has talked to "dozens of top scientists" who think it's possible to "cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of this century," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. "That doesn't mean no one will ever get sick, but it does mean that we'll get sick a lot less and that when we do, we'll always be able to identify and treat the problem, or at least manage it as a non-harmful condition."
Priscilla, who works as a pediatrician, will help spearhead the efforts, Fox Business' Ashley Webster noted on Thursday morning's "Varney & Company."

I doubt that the cure for mange will come in time for Hillary. Debbie Wassamatter Schultz, being younger, might live to see the cure.
the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Duponts, Windsors et al of the ultra wealthy families won’t like that idea
Will he turn off Facebook??
Yeah, but there are an awful lot of shabby looking coyotes running around.
If you sign up for 23 & me check on biological relationships, you are quizzed about every disease you or your family has ever had and then they do deep data mining on the results to see if any specific genes are associated with diseases.
This pledge is to help push his wife's company into an international monopoly for medical diagnosis.
Maybe he could check to see if some of the $75 million he gave to San Francisco General is doing any good. The new facility opened in May of 2016, and the technology and conditions there are more reminiscent of the hospital on “The Knick” Cinemax series.
Yes. let’s include a nice secure server too.
Zuckerberg is a Jew who is an atheist. For some reason I find that very contemptible. Maybe it’s that of all the people on Earth, it is the Jewish nation who can most point back toward history and confidently claim that their G-d has been with them, has been faithful to them. To come from that heritage and yet founding one’s life on G-d NOT being there, is a very sad thing.
When the Bubble Pops he’ll have nuffin
Mange is a disease, isn’t it?.....
Thankfully, from the headline, he’s going to make sure everyone has an equal dose of the mange.
Love the headline :)
Well, what do you suspect from the Chan Zuckberg Inititiave (sic)?
I suppose they have CNN's "colleg-educated" people writing for them....
Tax avoidance model. Duh!
