WaffenSS:
As well it should

Meanwhile people that are slowly suffocating from Covid-19 will take treatment from satan himself to save their lives.

Well, satan brought the COVID19

WaffenSS:
Besides the Pfizer controversy which has been settled, i don't see any reason from demonizing vaccines. I don't even know what you people think they want to achieve with their vaccines.

Right now they're developing vaccines to help their own people, not embed chips in Africans. You think 67,000 dead Americans, 27,000 dead Italians, 24,000 dead british are not compelling reasons for these people to develop vaccines for their own people? Did anyone of them talk about developing vaccines for Africans?

We'll only get whatever treatment they come up with AFTER they'd already taken care of their people. And you have the choice to accept or reject the vaccine and hope your faith keeps you safe.

Meanwhile it's vaccines that helps billions of children against polio and measles.

Well, time will tell.

WaffenSS:
Drugs treat people who are already infected

Vaccines protect billions of people from BECOMING infected

Hmm.
I dont trust the man still. All of them rich bastards, them Rockefeller and co.
Vaccines r more dangerous than drugs in the long run.
Once a vaccine gets in, that's the end. With drugs some may still die, but at least u have more control over the patient

Sirmuel1:
Hardship.

Lol

WaffenSS:
First of all you omitted, deliberately, the following paragraph:

"Joe Cerrell, a spokesman for the Seattle-based Gates foundation, says the stock investments, reported this week in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, are independent of the foundation's programs. "


Second, the Pfizer trials were in 1996; the Gates Foundation made its investments in 2002. There's absolutely no link between the vaccine trials and the Gates Foundation.

Third, re-read the second paragraph that you copied and pasted:

Chairman Bill Gates and his wife, already is a major force in international health issues, contributing $555 million in 2000 alone to global health programs. The organization has emerged as a prominent voice in the debate over how to supply cheaper drugs for AIDS and other diseases to poor countries. At times, it has assumed the role of a broker between poor nations and drug companies.

The above shows the roles they play in making healthcare MORE AFFORDABLE to the poor. Not MORE EXPENSIVE but MORE AFFORDABLE.

You think anyone in Africa can afford the early HIV drug cocktails without these people's help?

He gave out free antimosquito nets, he helped eradicate polio, he made Malaria drugs affordable. How's that anything but goodwill?

U made some points I overlooked.
Now, back to gates. Why is he bent on vaccines, rather than drugs for treatment?

Sirmuel1:
You People will just come here and type nonsense. It's you and your Family that will be killed.


You don't know what's going on in that center, you don't know what they're facing there, you just come here and type bull-sh*t.

What r they facing? Boko haram? Ghosts? Hardship?

CanadaOrBust:
Not damages, SETTLEMENT. They settle when the bad publicity and cost of litigation outweighs proving they did nothing wrong. They settle for a thousand times more than this in advanced countries. The point is there is no huge conspiracy against Africa as some conspiracy nuts would have u believe

.

See, they would not have paid a dime if they were not at fault or complicit in the said crimes.
And our lawyers knew that had had them by the throat with the many evidences

maoolakanm:
Those that are bereft of sense will see sense in this attempt to distort history.
Obj that forced Nigerians to build for him his farm,library,university and in return sold all asset of the country to himself and his friends.
The man under whose watch a sitting governor was abducted.The man that invaded Odi and Zak Biam without any redress.
FFK & DIPO go and take your medicine.

Compare that to distributing money among the poorest, wanting to give abachas loot to kebbi government, no electricity, not wanting to close borders cos many crooks were still in the UK, feeding school children with 12 billion monthly, etc and so many others

GraGra247:
I agree but only in this case Buhari is the mother Theresa. As much as I dislike Buhari, Obasanjo is far worse than Buhari.

Obasanjo literally sold the country to himself and his associates.

Ur saying this? Really?

WaffenSS:
Stop dwelling in the past and move on. As painful as parts of history are, without the pain of yesterday there wouldn't be the gain of today. Radical changes usually come with some pain.

You're educated now and have the privilege of using your phone to make your silly comments because of the white man, else you'll be in a cave somewhere living out a primitive life.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has purchased shares in nine big pharmaceutical companies valued at nearly $205 million -- an investment likely to attract attention more for its symbolism than its size.

The foundation, the nation's largest with an endowment of $24.2 billion from Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates and his wife, already is a major force in international health issues, contributing $555 million in 2000 alone to global health programs. The organization has emerged as a prominent voice in the debate over how to supply cheaper drugs for AIDS and other diseases to poor countries. At times, it has assumed the role of a broker between poor nations and drug companies.

Now, as an investor in Merck & Co., Pfizer Inc., Johnson & Johnson and others, the Gates foundation has a financial interest in common with makers of AIDS drugs, diagnostic tools, vaccines and other drugs. The stock purchases are a new type of investment for the foundation: In the past it held primarily bonds and other nonequity investments.

Then this:

Nigeria's largest state has sued US drug firm Pfizer for allegedly using 200 children as "guinea pigs" for a drug test in 1996 that led to multiple deaths and deformities, officials said Sunday...The state accuses Pfizer of "secretly using children as guinea pigs to test a drug under the guise of humanitarian gesture"...Pfizer was alleged to have administered an untested drug called Trovan Floxacin without authorisation on almost 200 children infected with meningitis in the state. Eleven of the children reportedly died, while the remaining 181 were said to have suffered from deafness, paralysis, brain damage and blindness.

If Bill gates had bought just one Pharmaceutical company and poured his "Philantropic" money in it, we would have been grateful to him. Can anyone for the life of me explain why he bought off all the Big Pharma companies and placed them all firmly under his control?
That guys hands is not clean pls.

CanadaOrBust:
Pfizer said the deaths and defects were from meningitis itself and not from their vaccine. The point is, there is no huge conspiracy against Africa here. They do same thing in developed countries and constantly settle for big bucks, not for peanuts as in this case

So how come they paid for damages?
The outcomes and deformities were inconsistent with meningitis.

Chikelue2000:

Instead of government to use the Abacha loot to equip doctors and nurses with PPEs, and also get hundreds of thousands of testing kits, they say they want to fund projects with it.
Is that not madness?

Conspiracy Nuts and lies and half-truths. They make up something then based on that manufacture a million conspiracies. Who is the “Nigeria’s largest state”. How come this news only appears in this form and not carried by any reputable news source!

Sir.
I read the news that time in Nigeria.
Kano state.
It was during Obasanjo time. Infact later on people started saying the money given was eaten up.
It was everywhere in the newspapers.
I read and followed up the story back then in secondary school i think.

We acknowledge his immensed contributions to Africa.

But can you please help clarify why he is interested in signing the bill when the vaccine is not yet available?

The last time I checked, human rights should be observed in Africa as it would in America or any where in the world.

Leave that guy.

What I have noticed on nairaland is that comments that usually get a 100 likes now amass beyong 700

Who else has noticed this?
Lock down or what?

Since the pandemic broke out, av had more likes in the last 3 months, than av had since joining nairaland 7 years ago. No more tacha threads I guess.

Aswear if i have a sister as a nurse I will remove her from any bloody hospital.

These people r bastards. From the cmd down!
What nonsense

stinflame:
No Private sector will take such risk, because it's not worth the profit. I said earlier funding of such project is not based on a fixed income source. Am sure u aware how oil behaves this period. If it was their only hope in servicing such project they will be handicap. So this loot can go in place,or an Emergency loan

Ok I understand now.
Watching with one eye

stinflame:
Fund's doesn't matter their source provided they are available. But Civil Engineering project in Nigeria are never paid in full.. They are paid in batches and do reoccure in yearly budgets.

I get ur point. But I tot the bridge was a collaboration between federal government and private sector?
Like it wasnt subject to this kind of funds?

stinflame:
Not at all from my knowledge.

Does it make sense to say that abachas loot was part of the money to be used for the niger bridge?
