I just read the first sentence and stopped. I'm not going to defend him. I will post facts that he has donated over $50 billion to various causes. $100M minimum to this cause.Read what I gave you. You're defending him within knowing anything. Educate yourself. They are legitimate sources and for some reason you refuse to look at anything that doesn't confirm your bias. Exactly what you accuse me of doing. Why do you hate being informed?
Ebocha, Nigeria —
JUSTICE Eta, 14 months old, held out his tiny thumb.
An ink spot certified that he had been immunized against polio and measles, thanks to a vaccination drive supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
But polio is not the only threat Justice faces. Almost since birth, he has had respiratory trouble. His neighbors call it “the cough.” People blame fumes and soot spewing from flames that tower 300 feet into the air over a nearby oil plant. It is owned by the Italian petroleum giant Eni, whose investors include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
...
The Gates Foundation has poured $218 million into polio and measles immunization and research worldwide, including in the Niger Delta. At the same time that the foundation is funding inoculations to protect health, The Times found, it has invested $423 million in Eni, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp. and Total of France -- the companies responsible for most of the flares blanketing the delta with pollution, beyond anything permitted in the United States or Europe.
Indeed, local leaders blame oil development for fostering some of the very afflictions that the foundation combats.
Its not my place to say he should be doing more or less. He's done wayyyyyyyy more than anyone else. So save yourself from typing so much because I don't need it. We are on the complete opposite of the spectrum. We'll never agree and meet in the middle. Thats why I'm out of this topic because we'll just waste everyones time.
And its Happy Hour. I'm going to look at the positives
