  Bill Gates is saying end of 2021 for rich countries and end of 2022 for everyone else. And that's a great timeline because of innovation going on rn. https://www.wired.com/...

  Bill Gates is clearly wary of Microsoft's TikTok deal. He's called the potential acquisition a “poison chalice” this week. Details here: https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Highly recommended. Great survey from Gates' logical and highly informed POV of the actual COVID-19 situation; both good news and bad news here. If you want to read just one smart thing to know what's really going on, this is it. https://www.wired.com/...

  funny how Korea, which has exactly ZERO of the largest biotech test manufacturing companies (the US has half of the 10- largest), did not have this problem + their mass testing was successful — in a Trump administration no one's at the wheel and it's a grifting free-for-all https…

  “The majority of all US tests are completely garbage, wasted. If you don't care how late the date is and you reimburse at the same level, of course they're going to take every customer. Because they are making ridiculous money.” Bill Gates talks Covid https://www.wired.com/...

  In this first-rate @Wired interview, @BillGates presents his candid reflections on the two issues that occupy most of my waking moments: the US pandemic response, and on the role of social media in promoting division and misinformation in this country. https://www.wired.com/...

• @stevenlevy Steven Levy on x

  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/...

• @goldman Jason Goldman on x

  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/...
