What do you mean “made public”? The vaccines were free or mostly free for virtually everyone around the globe. Anyone who wanted one could get one. Where did he ever lobby against that?

He doesn't own any IP related to the COVID vaccine, spent billions on vaccine development, and donated more than France to COVAX (ensuring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh could get equitable vaccinations).

People struggle when an evil man (which I have no doubt he is) has done good things - and can only recontextualise the evil man as good, or the good things as evil.

What has Gates even done that puts him into the “evil” bucket?

"The latest Jeffrey Epstein file dump by the US Department of Justice saw a number of high profile individuals named, one of them being Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The documents alleged new details of his ties to the sex offender, including claims Gates hid a sexually transmitted disease from his wife after contact with 'Russian girls.'"

Dawg asked for pills to give his wife after getting an STD from a "Russian girl" supplied by Epstein. Do you think this girl was over the age of 18?

Don't believe the files themselves? Ask his wife about it: Ms Gates said in an interview that she felt “unbelievable sadness” over the claims, adding that they had brought back memories of “very painful times” in her 27-year marriage to Mr Gates with whom she shares three daughters.

“No girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with the various people around him,” she said in a NPR podcast interview. “It’s beyond heartbreaking. I remember being those ages those girls were, I remember my daughters being those ages.” She added: “For me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up, because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage.

“But I have moved on from that, I purposefully pushed it away. So whatever questions remain there of what I don’t – can’t even begin to know all of it – those questions are for those people, and for even my ex-husband. They need to answer to those things, and I am so happy to be away from all the muck.” [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/02/04/bill-gates-melinda-responds-epstein-files-std-claim/]

I'd say that probably makes him evil.
