Bill Gates calls question about whether China covered up the coronavirus a 'distraction'

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said it is not the right time to question China's response to the onset of the coronavirus.

China has been accused of trying to cover up and spread misinformation about its COVID-19 virus outbreak in a way that escalated the global pandemic. When asked to "respond to the charge" that China covered up the virus during a Sunday interview on CNN, Gates argued that it is not time to be questioning the country.

"China did a lot of things right at the beginning, like any country where a virus first shows up," he said. "They can look back and say where they missed some things. You know, some countries did respond very quickly and get their testing in place, and they avoided the incredible economic pain. It’s sad that even the U.S. that you would have expected to do this well did it particularly poorly. But it’s not time to talk about that."

He continued, "This is the time to take the great science we have, the fact we’re in this together, fixed testing, treatments, and get that vaccine, and minimize the trillions of dollars and many things you that you can’t even dimensionalize, in economic terms, that are awful about the situation we’re in. So, that’s a distraction. I think there’s a lot of incorrect and unfair things said, but it’s not even time for that discussion."

The World Health Organization, an agency of the United Nations, has been criticized for its chummy relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, including its role in touting a Chinese study that claimed the coronavirus could not spread between humans. Because of this, President Trump cut U.S. aid to the organization, pending an investigation into its coronavirus response.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has an entire section of their website dedicated to China, headlined as “Our Work in China” via their China Office.

“Since the inauguration of our China office in 2007, we have been focused on unlocking that potential in a way that benefits China and the rest of the world. In working towards this goal, we continue to support China in overcoming domestic challenges, leverage China’s growing innovation capacity to supply high-quality, affordable health products to those in need, and assist China in becoming a stronger partner for global health and development.”

Go see for yourselves how vested Gates is in China. This knee-jerk response is literally a reflex to protect his investment...errr...rather, his image.

you want distractions. I posted the CNN article earlier this month, but now see it has come to pass, just as I expected!

10 Apr: Hollywood Reporter: Dr. Anthony Fauci Jokes Brad Pitt Should Play Him on ‘SNL’
by Ryan Parker
After a serious Friday segment on the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci had to laugh when he was asked by CNN’s Alisyn Camerota who he would like to play him when Saturday Night Live returns this weekend.

At first, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said he hoped he was not a character on the show, but when pressed a tad and given some options, it was clear who he wanted.
“Oh, Brad Pitt, of course,” he said with a chuckle. Another actor who has been floated as a possible SNL Fauci is Ben Stiller, Camerota noted...

note taxpayer-funded ABC’s dismissive use of “Trump” in the sub-heading for this piece:

Pitt’s Dr Fauci pokes fun at Trump on Saturday Night Live
Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt has made an appearance on Saturday Night Live, playing the role of Anthony Fauci, America’s top public health adviser, to fact-check US President Donald Trump’s claims about coronavirus.
“Tonight I would like to try to explain what the President was trying to say,” Pitt, dressed in a wig and glasses, said. “Miracles shouldn’t be Plan A.”

After a clip in which Mr Trump appeared to float the question of injecting disinfectant or hitting the virus with a “very powerful light”, the video cut to Pitt as Dr Fauci with his head in his hands.
“I know I shouldn’t be touching my face, but … “ he says.
Dr Fauci has won widespread praise for his public messaging as COVID-19 spreads across the US, infecting more than 939,000 to date.

Mr Trump recently retweeted a post calling for Dr Fauci to be sacked, but later said he did not intend to fire him.

Pitt poked fun at that too, before finishing the show’s opening segment by thanking Dr Fauci for the messaging he has been delivering to Americans.
