Poorer countries face a best-case scenario of a 6-8 month lag behind richer nations in getting access to COVID-19 vaccines to protect their populations against the pandemic disease, the philanthropist Bill Gates said on Wednesday.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has so far committed some $1.75 billion to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including via funds for the COVAX vaccine-sharing initiative co-led by the World Health Organization, and via direct support for some vaccine makers. “If you’re a pharma company that didn’t make a vaccine, you’re not under pressure. But the ones who did make the vaccine - they are the ones being attacked,” he said. “It’s all very zero-sum.”

Do we really care what Gates thinks?

Oh cool mr. weird hands is back

Is Bill Gates a doctor or a research scientist? Stop talking and let scientists and the gov talk about COVID. His continuous rambling will only reinforce the belief that he helped to plan the creation of the virus for population control.

It appears it’s going to be a six month lag for me to get the shot. Thanks for doing nothing Trump.

you mean germany?

You guys are embarrassing Africa. How many vaccines have you taken since you were young? From yellow fever, measles, polio etc but you think BillGates wants to kill you. For what? Seriously!

Bill is the big bad wolf in the little red riding hood BillGates

Heard today bill gates was involved with jeffrey epstein. Answer that Reuters. Seeing high rich folk come out as paedophiles

We thank God for Africa. Cradle of mankind. We swallow those viruses and wake up tommorow as if nothing is happening in the world. Not because we can't help but we are seen as dander heads.

'In my life and in my career, I have never seen such a government that hates its own people. Other countries are saying, 'Please help us.' It is a shameful government that has prevented them from going. ' . One of the aid workers who arrived in Tigray

klarnamemiggi It's an evidence 🥳

Stop with him

Guy's wealthy, not the ones he's desperately trying to save. Though.

They have nothing so they should be happy...right Mr Gates. One would have thought those countries should have been the first. can you please ask Mr Gates to name the counties he calls poor ?

The three - class society! Remember, dead people don't need software !!!

Poor probally no have money for pay drug vaccine

Oh so The United States then? We already knew this Bill I mean💁🏼‍♀️

this P.O.S Should be locked up

True vacinne must be for all people

You can’t make me get one bill

harumutasa That's what the plan is.More of us should die first before any vaccine is made available.

rosana At least a year for poor fascist countries like Brazil.

harumutasa Who is he in the matrix of things? That's why you see some of us being sceptical about these vaccines esp whr people like him are involved.

We actually don't need it in Nigeria please!

60-80 month lag

& the big winner is:

I got my first dose Monday. Very upset I haven't been able to get a Xbox Series S after repeatedly asking Bill via my microchip implant.

That's the UK then!

Ça n’est dans l’intérêt de personne. Le monde dans sa globalité devrait être vacciné et ce, en même temps. Les pays les plus riches prenant en charge les plus pauvres. Sans cela, le COVIDー19 continuera sa progression. Ce sera un cycle sans fin.

Well then he should put his money where his mouth is, shouldn’t he?!

Who is BillGates ? Oohh wait thats the computer Guy! Corona COVID19
