So, Bill Gates is still stuck in the 1990s and wants IP to rule over the rights of people and human beings. Even though lots of R&D is done in governments, and public research colleges, or provided by public grants; He wants IP protection to remain for drugs, and vaccines like Pfizer, and Moderna.
This is the so-called most ethical billionaire. A so-called cosmopolitan which by the way is just a code way for the rich to skirt taxes around the world. Explain to me what is cosmopolitan about wanting the poor to die. I would say a socialist who is against all the wars, is dodgy around immigration, and is an isolationist but will export the vaccines is more cosmopolitan than this phony. (Pre 2016 Bernie, post-2016 Bernie is more internationalist)
Is he fucking hearing himself; I want either the working poor allot of whom live on less than 5 dollars a day to pay hundreds for a life-saving drug, or I want them dying in the streets? This is the deluded madness of the rich and lets me remind you he is considered a ‘good’ billionaire. There are billionaires like Bezos, Koch, Mercers, etc. that are worse. Also, even if you were just a selfish fuck who loves good PR, and does good marketing if India or South Africa gets an RNA vaccine-resistant variant of Covid, we are all screwed, and your gold, bunkers, rockets, and money won’t save you when you don’t have anyone to sell shit to.
The answer is yes.
