You are aware that the US media has NO legal obligation to report the truth, right?
Are you slamming the press every which way?
Or do you believe them with blind faith?


Or are you saying that Bill Gates is a Russian agent???
Nope, I was tactfully trying to tell you that many of the stories you repeat and claims you make have been debunked and shown to have their origin in Russia and one Vladimir Putin. Your fears are unnecessary and dangerous because they are Phony Putin Propaganda.

It is such a shame to see so many frightened Americans --who repeat and exaggerate your type of baseless "stories"--so duped and mesmerized by propaganda, that they have unwittingly become part of a campaign that is destructive to themselves and their fellow citizens

Peace.

SO he's figured out a way to profit from vaccines that his foundation distributes for free, how does that work.

So in the middle of a pandemic you are arguing for an as yet to be developed vaccine to be 100% safe before its distribution, yet here you are making arguments foe wider distribution of Hydroxychloroquine which most certainly has side effects and hasn't even been proven to be effective.


So which is it.

Geez. There is absolutely nothing to add to this level of ignorance. And all that education you are getting on line (Google scholar you are genius)!
You get what you pay for in the information/education world.

Will they be free in the US or Europe? Like I said, he was able to figure out how to monetize public education, throw a lot of money around with a lot of strings attached. NCLB required states to give standardized tests. Those are developed by Pearson Education, based on their proprietary textbooks since they've bought up the publishers, the tests are given on Apple computers using software developed by Microsoft.

The Gates Foundation is now directing public education in the US, apparently public health will be next.

Many major universities, including Harvard, have lectures online for free. Many universities have entire degree programs online. Back in the 80s when I was at Purdue I even took some classes in the summer "independent study." No internet back then, I just studied the textbook, did lessons that were mailed to me, and I mailed the homework back. Now with the internet it's very common to do courses that way. What is your beef with it?

I missed the bit where he declared himself a vaccine expert. When was this?
