* The billionaire hoped 'rationality will reappear' and the U.S. would join with WHO

Microsoft founder Bill Gates harshly criticized the United States' response to the coronavirus pandemic saying its refusal to work with other countries has caused a 'vacuum' in solving the global problem.
Gates said that the U.S. had been more concerned with 'trying to cast blame' for the spread of the virus instead of collaborating with other countries in eradicating it, blasting the 'inward' approach the country has taken.
He added that he believed 'rationality will reappear from someone' and the U.S. will rejoin the efforts of the World Health Organization, which President Trump said he was withdrawing from earlier this year.

Update: Bill And Melinda Gates Have Sharp Words For U.S.’ Lack Of Leadership Role In Fighting Pandemic (Forbes)
WNU Editor: What Melinda Gates is proposing is not helpful. The ones who should receive the vaccine first are public health officials and workers, followed by those who have medical issues and vulnerabilities, and then followed by the elderly. After that, and only after that, black and indigenous people could be prioritized according to health and medical history, but not be given this vaccine solely based on their skin colour. And as for Bill Gates saying that China should be given a pass when it comes to this pandemic. Absolutely not. China's behaviour at the beginning of this pandemic has been reprehensible, and they must be held accountable.
Melinda Gates ... prodigious, unsung, and oblivious recruiter of racists across the spectrum
ReplyDeleteTo prioritize lifesaving medical treatment based solely upon skin color would be the very definition of racism. The manner in which the editor proposes to distribute a potential lifesaving vaccine is 100% accurate.
ReplyDeleteI don't see us not working with the world. In fact, I'm seeing the opposite. For decades the "world" has steadfastly refused to treat America with the same dignity and respect that others take for granted. Trump's "crimes" has been to insist that we be treated as equals and he has tried to reduce our foreign military footprint.
The EU is also considering barring Americans entry into when they open up. We test far more than most countries and we make use of contact tracers to identify cases that would otherwise go unnoticed. Naturally our cases are going to be much higher than most other countries because of this. EU leaders are bo doubt aware of this yet they still insist on such policies. They are the ones not working with us. Mr. Gates has it completely backwards.
Melinda Gates was privileged well before she met Billy.
ReplyDeleteShe went to a private school that costs as much as going to a private college.
Her pappy bought her a computer when they were rare
The student to teacher ratio in her school was 14 to 1 not 30 to 1.
Princess has never lived in the real world.
Melinda gates is quite mainstream for a liberal. Liberals are crazy. Melinda is crazy. She fits.

ReplyDeleteMr. Easy weighed-in and had nothing to say except to go ad hominem again.
ReplyDeleteWNU, the US should be held accountable for misdiagnosed this virus in July 2019.

Respiratory out breaks happen all the time. Respiratory outbreaks can mean Rhino, influenza, covid or something else. We really do not know unless we test samples of there are any left or if we dig these people up.
ReplyDeleteBut you keep on trolling this story for the 3rd time like a cuck.
I remember one weekend my family drove to a swimming pool in Latin America. We didn't own a pool we were not rich.
So we are driving and pass through a town square. On one corner of the town square we saw dozens of chickens plucked and hung by their neck by a butcher displaying his wares. My father, a farm boy, was just emphatic that it was dangerous and not the place to be. He was afraid of respiratory illness and did not think the practice that he saw was safe. The point? Respiratory illness is common. The AG Dept checks for it all the time. I don't know about hospitals. Testing is expensive. They are not going to test for each and every type of virus or other pathogen.
You generic journalist won't know to keep track of outbreaks in a systematic way or know what questions to ask. But journalists are the brightest people. Just ask them.
Anyway 10:15 GFY B.
'Respiratory outbreak' being investigated at retirement community after 54 residents fall ill
ReplyDelete2 dead out of 54 elderly people. Not ,much of as contagion. Less than 4%
Given the age group and the pre-existing conditions that is not heavy.
ReplyDeleteDear Melinda...place brain in gear before opening mouth.
There's no law against sounding silly. It can be an aspect of free speech, remember.
No one is arguing that virus outbreaks occur
ReplyDeleteThis is different
The Chinese Communist Party declared all but war on the US
Then, when Phase1 of the trade deal took effect, a virus "escaped" the Chinese lab in Wuhan China, hence its name
Then the Chinese communist Party sat on the information for 51 days while buying up PPE and letting the virus escape their country in numbers so high it amounts to mass murder on the world
Then they sold faulty equipment to all of us, insulted us, while our elderly gasped for air and died in isolation and loneliest moments
No. This is not normal.
This means war.
Simple as that
The CCP will be held accountable or China will be held accountable
The choice is every Chinese citizens choice. Either the CCP or you. The world will accept no less, this hasn't been the first time we've been lied to, stolen from, murdered by, insulted on top by the Chinese Communist Party.
It ends here.
