(113,314 posts)But, if he is I'd love to see the accusations (NOT the suggestion from Epstein he contracted a STD from an adult Russian prostitute). Did you see an accusant claiming this or that he was present while others did and knowingly covered it up?
If so, I missed that part. What I do know is the great deal of good he has done in past decades in world health, including much of the work and funding of vaccines that are desperately needed in the third world The Gates foundation has gotten us very close to vaccines against the four serovars of Dengue--a mosquito born virus that kills tens of thousands worldwide each year and leaves many more debilitated. Likewise, their supplemental work with WHO has backfilled quite a bit of the work US-AID formerly did until Musk demolished it. Likewise his work has gone on with climate change.
So, if I missed those horrific acts for which- sans prosecution and judicial sentencing- can never be "pardoned" then perhaps his philanthropic work is all for naught. I have not seen that. Please post what I have missed.
