17. Solly Mack, could you please post where Gates is accused of this? I saw nothing of the kind.

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.

Solly Mack, could you please post where Gates is accused of this? I saw nothing of the kind. hlthe2b Feb 2 #17
I did say "if" did I not? IF he did, then nothing he does can change that. Same goes for anyone else. Solly Mack Feb 2 #18
No accusations made except from you. I asked what you had read to justify that? hlthe2b Feb 2 #19
Except I didn't accuse him. I said IF he was. No amount of you claiming I did accuse him will change that. Solly Mack Feb 2 #20
Given he has NOT been accused of doing this, unike Epstein and many others, including Trump hlthe2b Feb 2 #21
OK Solly Mack Feb 2 #22
Epstein implies Gates was with Russian "girls" in the released documents. Quiet Em Feb 2 #25
He was an adulterer and that makes him a creep in my book, but not comparable with a pedophile hlthe2b Feb 2 #30
No one has accused Bill Gates of being a pedophile Quiet Em Feb 2 #31
Read the subject of the OP, which was not deciding Bill Gates guilt or fate or speculating on same... hlthe2b Feb 2 #32
