Amusing that the decidedly anti-life Bill Gates suddenly becomes pro-life.
... Bill Gates has reportedly warned President Donald Trump's administration that his philanthropic endeavors are no replacement for the U.S. government's funding of global health care efforts.--quoted at AOSHQ
Gates is the guy who financed the insertion of depo-provera into African women's arms.
Let's go with a reality check!
... The US provides a quarter billion dollars a year to TB eradication efforts. That quarter billion represents about a quarter of total global funding for TB eradication (and by extension, 'The World" spends about a billion dollars a year on TB). Despite being a quarter of the total, US funding is the majority of funding for many countries due to how it is allocated.
The Fortune article about this doesn't mention those fairly low totals. It talks about the totals across the board - that USAID was costing about $45 billion per year, that the Gates Foundation spends about $9 billion per year, etc. - but not about TB. Not about the one thing they chose to focus on in the article. Well, we can put two and two together and find that it doesn't equal 45 billion.
TB is half a percent of USAID's outlays, and would represent less than 3% of the Gates Foundation's outlays, if it chose to focus on it. According to Newsweek, USAID was spending about $7 billion - or less that a quarter of its budget - on "health." Even assuming that "health" means what it says and is money well spent, that's less than the Gates Foundation's annual expenditure.
So it isn't about TB and it isn't about global health....
No. It IS about shoveling bushels-ful of taxpayer money into semi-fake "NGO's" which then shovel bushels-ful of money back into the pockets of *certain people* such as wives, children, nieces, nephews, and concubines of D.C. slime (a/k/a Congress critters.)
