Bill Gates focuses all attention on another disease
Bill Gates

Bill Gates has stated that his number 1 goal is to eradicate polio from the face of the earth. In an interview for "The Telegraph", the billionaire turned philanthropist, who has been working for two decades against this disease, said that polio has only two "fortresses" left that need to be demolished, in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"To be honest, I would do anything to help the polio campaign, it's a top priority for our foundation," Gates said. He added that his foundation's partners have managed to meet with the Taliban in Qatar, but the situation to intervene there is complicated, due to the sanctions imposed by the United States. But Gates was happy that the Taliban had retained the health minister who served before they took power. While in Pakistan, the biggest obstacle is becoming floods.

In addition to these two countries, cases of poliomyelitis have appeared in Malawi and Mozambique, but also in the USA and the United Kingdom. "It shows that it can come back to us anywhere in the world," Gates said. "If we give in, it will spread massively again and we will have 100,000 paralyzed children every year. So, in my view, we need persistence to succeed."

This weekend, the World Health Summit kicked off in Berlin, where $4.8 billion in funding will be requested over the next four years, just for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. On Sunday, Gates pledged that his foundation would provide $1.2 billion. Since 2007, he has donated nearly $5 billion to the cause.

The American billionaire has been one of the most involved people in the fight against the coronavirus, during the years of the pandemic, often being the center of criticism and conspiracy theories about it.

In an interview with the BBC in May of this year, the founder of Microsoft said that he felt terribly bad when people shouted at him in the street mentioning this theory. He has long been a supporter of vaccines, and has spent billions of dollars on vaccination programs around the world.
