Bill Gates has announced the Gates Foundation will spend $200 billion over the next two decades to tackle health research and humanitarian issues. This increase comes as the foundation prepares to close by 2045 and follows federal funding cuts under the Trump administration that threaten global health initiatives. Gates has expressed concerns over rising child mortality rates due to these policy shifts. The foundation aims to prevent deaths from preventable causes, eradicate deadly infectious diseases, and lift millions out of poverty, reflecting its commitment to urgent global health and development challenges.
The world's richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children, referring to the unelected billionaire bureaucrat Elon Musk... He put it in the wood chipper because he didn't go to a party that weekend.
There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people.
The Gates Foundation will focus its resources on achieving three goals: that no mom, child or baby dies of a preventable cause; that the next generation grows up in a world without deadly infectious diseases; and that hundreds of millions of people break free from poverty.
We'll probably go from 5 million to 6 million child deaths a year instead of an earlier projection that child deaths would decrease by one million.
