Gates has repeatedly been critical of the policy pursued in the fight against Covid-19. In July, he said US testing policy was a “waste of time” because results had to wait too long. He has also criticized the “vaccine race” involving several countries. The billionaire pointed out that such competition could lead to excessive haste, which could result in products entering the market that have not passed all the necessary tests.
