So Gates is against encryption because of CP but flew on epsteins Lolita Express in 2013, years after Epstein was a convicted child molester.

If we listen to conspiracies, probably half the world is connected to epstein, gandhi and erdös in some way or another.

> And that makes me feel like, for the rich world, we should largely be able to end this thing by the end of 2021, and for the world at large by the end of 2022. That is only because of the scale of the innovation that’s taking place. Now whenever we get this done, we will have lost many years in malaria and polio and HIV and the indebtedness of countries of all sizes and instability.

What does he mean by that ? That research regarding HIV, malaria and polio is slowing down ? Or that there'll be a rise in HIV/malaria/polio cases ?

I don't follow. If he was a child abuser as you're implying, wouldn't he be for encryption?

Do you seriously think he's against encryption for his own class of unfathomably rich peers? He's against encryption for the commoners, the 99.999% of people not part of the transnational elite, who as we've seen in the Epstein case can fly around and do more or less what they want with both people and money because of connections to "intelligence".

Do what they want, until they end up hanging from a jail house ceiling?

I find it somewhat uncomfortable Posting a comment that might seem pro rich, and he did initially get away with minimal penalties, but you didn’t exactly pick the poster boy for Unlimited impunity.

What if they'd invoked the defense production act to actually crank out enough of the things? Or told everyone to make them, like the Czech republic did? https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/04/04/czech-gove...

the number of cases in Czech republic are going up, currently are higher then they have ever been ... so there turns out it makes no difference how many you crank out, what you lock down and when the examples that we should do this or that are pointless, everyone will run the same fate as Sweden, lots of cases, the epidemic runs it course, then it is over

They apparently had some outbreaks in mines. But they're otherwise doing reasonably well.

Both research and interventions for other public health issues are falling by the wayside, which is particularly devastating for the developing world.

To be fair, there aren’t many governments ‘handling’ Covid in anything like a manner that has been good.

Gates really jumped the gun on this interview. Overly opinionated, judgmental, and paternalistic. Listening to Gates talking about since makes the irony of it biting. Excel, the software designed under his watch keeps destroying scientific results, to the point gene names had to be renamed. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-renam... Not to mention how Windows did all possible to hamstring Linux f…

Gates is anti science because excel. Can you even still see the shark from all the way up there?

Well it's all pretty muddy, but so far i think Epstein was expendable. As i just wrote there are a myriad of links to "intelligence" and a larger structure.

If people are interested go to the Epstein subreddit take deep dive - most likely it was a classic honeypot operation to blackmail high ranking politicians for political gain or for some industrial complex - not a lone wolf with a back story that makes no sense in isolation, suddenly getting rich without anyone knowing why.
