Gates declared himself “lucky” to be vaccinated and have received a booster dose, as well as having access to diagnostic tests and medications to deal with the disease.
In addition, he announced his participation, virtually, in a meeting of the Gates Foundation that was to be the first face-to-face meeting after two years of covid-19 pandemic.
The businessman promised that, together with his foundation, he will do “everything possible” so that “no one has to deal with a pandemic again.”
Precisely, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the non-governmental organizations that will participate tomorrow, Thursday, in the second world summit against covid-19 convened by the government of the United States, and chaired by Germany, Belize, Indonesia and Senegal.
Bill Gates has been involved with his foundation in financing vaccines against covid-19 for developing countries and has just published a book called “How to avoid the next pandemic”.
The announcement of his contagion was used by anti-vaccine Internet users who mocked the billionaire with ironic comments such as “Bill Gates tests positive for not having received the fifth dose.”
There were also those who called to “raise funds to help him in this process” or who joked that “thank God he has been vaccinated four times.”
