Umm I don't think the viruses and diseases they are fighting against really have the money to pay. I could be wrong but I just can't see microscopic organisms having wallets big enough to pay. And if you are expecting the people who are effected by this to pay don't you think they would if they you know weren't to busy being poor and hungry.The_root_of_all_evil said:
You know what pisses me off. Not that Bll did this because that is amazing. The fact that he had too do it pisses me off. Why can't we who have lots make the vaccines and give them to those who have nothing. Why does someone need to invest 10 million dollars to get this shit going? Why does the money factor the important factor and the human life factor is forgotten?
He still gets shit on constantly. Yet I have nothing to complain at him personally about.
He basically popularized computers which I love.
He made windows which has always worked for me (always <---).
Finally he's spending a fuck ton of money to help people globally. Something that almost nobody rich does without demanding money from everyone.
Plus he is loveable as all heck. (As far as personalities go)
I'd give the dude a hug if I wasn't worried my poorness might kill him instantly.

Say what you want about his products, but this guy is just a nice dude. Probably someone who more people should look up to, honestly, because this is just a good thing to do. While so many other celebrities tell people to donate money but selfishly hold on to every last penny of theirs, Bill Gates has actually done something. He makes more money a year than I and many of us will probably make in our entire lifetimes and he decides to help others. That is a cool thing to do.
Ho Ho...I think you understand I mean the people responsible to those sufferers.squid5580 said:
That's where I'm coming from. There's a lot better places for $10 billion to go apart from saving lives that should never have been endangered. And it really rubs me the wrong way that it has to be a philanthropist who decides rather than a politician, a surgeon general or , god help us, a medical company.
He already has one, probably.AndyFromMonday said:
In all seriousness good on Mr.Gates, It's nice to know that around 7.5 million lives aren't going to end.
His worth is 50 billion. That's not his income, that's the total value of everything he owns (unless I'm misunderstanding your statistic). I highly doubt that he brings in $50 billion annually.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Isn't that kinda how you make money to begin with or have I been missing something?The_root_of_all_evil said:
Bill Gates is a true humanitarian. I say more people should follow this man's example. Also could i get one of those diarrhea vaccines. Clogging toilets is a workout
