    Bill Gates is spending $150 million to try to make a coronavirus vaccine as cheap as $3

    Surprised at how vigorously @BillGates attacked social media and Facebook in spreading lies (he's been arguing with his buddy Zuck about it). Admits if MS gets TikTok it will own “a poisoned chalice” bec of disinformation. https://www.wired.com/...

    This is a really great interview. Lots of really great answers. Good overview of vaccine timeline, how to fix the testing problem, anti-vaccine disinfo. I don't totally buy his anti trust answer but at least it's funny. https://twitter.com/...
