Gates said he was picking the top seven from the available vaccine candidates and building manufacturing capacity for them. "Even though we'll end up picking at most two of them, we're going to fund factories for all seven just so we don't waste time in serially saying 'ok which vaccine works' and then building the factory," he said.
Twenty five years ago I thought of Bill Gates as a villainous figure because of the whole Windows vs Mac/Open Source angle, but I haven't felt that way for a long time. At this point I'm just really glad to have someone with his resources and intellect doing everything he can to help the world.
