Bill Gates shot down the UN proposal to make patenting covid vaccines illegal. That caused the pandemic to go on for longer, and that gave me long covid. If Bill Gates weren’t a billionaire, I wouldn’t have these long covid problems.

He doesn’t need to control the UN to do what was claimed.
You have no idea when they got COVID. If it was well after Bill’s bullshit then yeah, it’s at least partly his fault.

Fucking hell, isn’t his goal to rid the world of preventable diseases? Giving everyone the knowledge to make their own medicine is very clearly a good thing!

Don’t expect any “charitable organization” run by billionaires, they’re basically all there the funnel money from a billionaire to themselves in a way that lets them lower their tax burden and try to control public policy to further enrich themselves.
Keeping to that shithead gates, he pushed common core, admitted it was a failure, and kept pushing it. Billionaires are a box, and deserve to get the ol’ French aristocrat treatment.

Bill Gates has stock in Pfizer which would be devalued if the company didn’t have exclusive right to produce vaccines according to its patented method. He’s a billionaire, and that means he only cares about money. That’s the only way to become a billionaire in the first place. He’s simply treating medicine the same way he treated Microsoft for decades.

You sweet summer child, Bill Gates has ALWAYS been a sociopath interested in only money and power.
His retirement and donating all his money to “charity” was only a smoke screen to preserve his wealth. He created his own charity (this is wealth preservation tactic used by ultra rich). And while it does some good, it’s main purpose is to preserve his horde and whitewash his past so he’s remembered as a good guy.

he needs to make money off of it so he can fund future research! don’t question why our global economic model relies on made up numbers being met before actual life saving work is done! or why the numbers need to be in the hands of a handful of guys

Literally everything Gates does is for one reason: Profit.
Behind the Bastards (podcast) has a good episode on how he operates. You should listen to it.

Any statement preceded by “no source needed” is propaganda.
I don’t even think you’re wrong here, but that’s not a statement that should ever stand unchallenged.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I gave you a source. Just listen to the episode.
