The pandemic has set the world back by decades in areas like global vaccine coverage, according to a report from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It has also pushed the extreme poverty rate up 7% in a matter of months, the report says.

The Covid-19 pandemic has stopped, and in many cases reversed, progress towards achieving the United Nations' sustainable development goals, according to the fourth annual Goalkeepers Report, published Monday from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. “The first three years, we were able to report the steady and gradual progress towards those goals,” Bill Gates, Microsoft founder and co-chair of the foundation, told reporters. “Every single one of the goals was moving in the right direction,” he added.

“Of course, this year is different. It’s unique. The Covid-19 pandemic not only stopped progress, but it pushed us backwards, and that varied quite a bit by different areas,” he said. The 2020 Goalkeepers report analyzes the damage that the pandemic has done and is doing to health, economies “and virtually everything else,” and argues the world must work together to overcome it.Vaccinations reached over 80% of the world’s children and prevented more than 2 million deaths in 2019. Because of Covid-19, vaccine coverage in 2020 is dropping to levels last seen in the 1990s, the report says.Coronavirus vaccines won’t end the pandemic unless they are equitably allocated.

Depopulation scheme driven by a fake pandemic. Period.

I do not trust Gates

Okay first BillGates why are you talking? You have more than enough money to fix these problems, but don’t because you’d rather sit on your gold like some dragon. Secondly, fuck you pay me.

Can Bill & Mel read the reports to themselves take the vaccine and let the world be...God is the creator of the world not man.

And yet Microsoft still charges for everything

Therefore WE must not allow riches to play games of mass destruction with our lives for money gains again.

CNN, why don't you ask him ti 'vaccinate' his own children? And see whY he says. Isis

Stock market is up. All that matters anymore, right?

By design. Great job BillGates with your witchcraft.

Why do we care what Bill and Melinda have to say?

Attack THIS man!

Maybe shutting down the entire Country wasn't the best approach!

FakeNews

We really don’t care what Gates has to say.

You don't decide for the World all because you have the money.

That really right

Unnecessary shutdowns have led to the increase in extreme poverty here in the US thanks to the democrats

He was also kicked out of India for sterilizing a whole village!

I thought Kodak was supposed to solve Corona virus? Maybe it's time to call Polaroid or Sony!

Extreme poverty rate up. MI top unemployment, yet sengarypeters or govwhitmer hasnt had any sense of urgency for people to receive this money. Theyre background noise. Elect someone who is more connected to PEOPLEs needs. freep wxyzalicia Huelfox2 crainsdetroit

Hilarious...everyday you report garbage.

How many millions did these idiots spend on a report like this?! You could have asked anyone, literally anyone, for free, and they would have told you this information. Come on people, WEA ARE NOT THIS STUPID!

Lockdowns have consequences.

I believe the poverty part

Record temps . Aus., California, Greenland ice sheet melting And Now on to W for naming warm Atlantic Ocean Hurricanes. Better check what cheeky trees have been doing. Like Johnston, trump has brought an all time new low to the world. C19 200000 and 65000 dead and given up .

BillGates We Have To Upend The Money System.. It Is Not To Pay Who We Think Is Bloodlines Of Heavenly Royalty.. It Is Fair Passage To A Lil Bit Of Freedom.. Bitcoin Is Trying To Realize Other Precious Sophisticated Stuff..

I think Bill is already looking forward to the next pandemic. Anyone else get that vibe?

CNN and Bill Gates, a duo made in Hell.

*OUR RESPONSE to the pandemic. In Switzerland the clubs are open again and no masks. Just FYI.

Bill is a doctor now ?

Bill should have thought about all that before he released his virus to the world

Yes which is why we need to open the country!
