Is that mask in the photo accompanying the post photoshopped over an existing picture of Bill? Or is Gates actually wearing the mask that way? In either case, doesn't it appear to be OVER the bottom of his glasses? Don't mean to be too picky, but the post stresses the importance of wearing masks to "slow the spread of the virus and save lives," so one would want to avoid suggesting wearing masks in a way that has bee…

#23I've subsequently listened to him in interviews over the last 10 months, and the man cannot stop himself, he sees a large mound of money and his old cutthroat competitive spirit comes surging back.
In some interviews it's like he's out of breath just getting out his own way, to rubbish his rivals and convince us to buy 'his vaccine'.

#24Has any other philanthropists in history appeared to care about the world (or part of the world) in a more profound way than Bill and Melinda Gates? The question I have, though, is how about continuation? I can't find anything on their website about a (hopefully distant) future without Bill and Melinda. Are the covenants such that the organisation can continue and still have the same impact? And the reason I care is…

#25Call me cynical but I'm not convinced by Mr Gates or his foundation. Like many of us on here, I too lived through 'the Microsoft years', I watched Microsoft under his leadership effectively dominate their competition using fair means and foul.

I think its because of black frames over a black mask. When it was greyscaled the contrast was increased it seems to have merged the two
You can indeed see outline of the bottom of the frame on top of the mask on the right side of the picture. Also the shape of the top edge suggests some refractive distortion. Which is to say, I think your interpretation is correct - the mask goes under the glasses.

Does clean living and healthy lifestyle help much with malaria and starvation?

Like, an end to malaria and food insecurity?
As long as "helped" people are objectively informed of any dependence and known side-effect thanks to some public debate, then accept the deal, and any individual remains free to refuse it for himself.
