Because if you notice, the conspiracy theories tell them to hate anyone that’s mildly helpful to humanity and celebrate sociopaths like Trump. Gates isn’t perfect but as far as philanthropy related work, he did some decent things sometimes.

Why the fuck are these idiots so weirdly obsessed with Gates. He’s a fuckin’ retired OS monger, not a supermegapolyscientist

god i hate gates and wish he never did this whitewashing bullshit but these vaccine dumbasses have as much iq as they do brain cells

His foundation is heavily invested in vaccinating populations in the global south. On paper at least – I don’t trust billionaires or their foundations, most of it is tax evasion anyway.

Say what you want about bill gates, but that guy is the second highest do or to the world health organization, only behind the USA (yes, the country). Beats even all the other countries

I’d rather tax the rich and let the people decide what to do with their money than trust all billionaires to do the right things.
This particular person is on a mission to do to malaria what science and governments did to smallpox, eliminate it from existence forever. You don’t spend 80 billion dollars to save on your taxes. He’s no perfect saint, but there are rich people who are more selfish.
