His foundation is heavily invested in vaccinating populations in the global south. On paper at least – I don't trust billionaires or their foundations, most of it is tax evasion anyway.

Say what you want about bill gates, but that guy is the second highest donor to the world health organization, only behind the USA (yes, the country). Beats even all the other countries

I'd rather tax the rich and let the people decide what to do with their money than trust all billionaires to do the right things.

This particular person is on a mission to do to malaria what science and governments did to smallpox, eliminate it from existence forever. You don't spend 80 billion dollars to save on your taxes. He's no perfect saint, but there are rich people who are more selfish.
