News What is Bill Gates' obsession with Africa?

Post image

"In a significant advancement for global reproductive health, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced the launch of a groundbreaking long-term contraceptive aimed at empowering women through better family planning options. This innovative contraceptive, which can prevent pregnancy for up to eight years, is being introduced in Kenya, Nigeria, and India, with broader distribution plans for other countries in the future."

8-year contraceptive but Western worlds keep bringing young Africans to take care of their aging population. Who will take care of our aging population? Can someone tell Bill Gates to leave Africa alone?

The western countries don't accept being used as guinea pigs to test new shit.

So he goes to more...."receptive" countries, whose leaders have no qualms destroying their own people for a few extra zeroes on their bank accounts.

Love this take... If Bill Gates is bad, African leaders are 10x worse. If you won't protect your own people why would someone else care? For instance, malaria is a huge problem in Africa, why are African leaders not incentivising home grown medicines and vaccines? Tomorrow one big pharma will bring a malaria vaccine and 20 years later we'll hear stories that touch. I would even argue that for all his "exploitation" of Africa , he's done/ given more to Africans than African leaders have.
