I have a message for @BillGates. You fought access to AIDS drugs in Africa, saying we couldn't treat our way out of an epidemic, needed to focus on vaccine development. And don't Botswana-me (yes you supported a research effort in 1 country). 1/

And now @BillGates we have a vaccine for another pandemic and you're oooh-can't-break-patents-you'll-get-unsafe-products. I am really sick of it. This was the bullshit on generic AIDS drugs peddled by big Pharma in the 2000s. 2/

. @BillGates you've bought your way to influence and power over global health, but money doesn't buy happiness and it doesn't buy wisdom. You were wrong 20 years ago on AIDS and you're wrong today on COVID. end/
