منذ مطلع أبريل انتشرت نظريات مؤامرة تلمح إلى تورط بيل جيتس بنشر فيروس كورونا للتربح من بيع اللقاحات التي يضطلع بمشاريع عديدة لتطويرها، وأنه ينوي زرع رقاقة ذكية في أجسام كل البشر للتحكم بها.

04:28But, once reviled for the massive wealth and the monopolistic power that his virus-laden software afforded him,
04:34Gates is now hailed as a visionary, who is leveraging that wealth and power for the greater good of humanity.
04:41In the 22nd century, a book will be written about the entrepreneur of the 21st century.
04:54I'm sure that the person who will foremost come to the mind of those historians is certainly Bill Gates.
05:05I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Bill Gates is singularly, I would argue, the most consequential individual of
05:11our generation.
05:12I mean that.
05:14Our next guest is one of the richest and most generous men in the world.
05:19Please welcome Bill Gates.
05:21At a time when everyone is looking to understand the scope of the pandemic and how to minimize the threat,
05:27one of the best informed voices is that of businessman and philanthropist Bill Gates.
05:34The process by which this reinvention of Gates' public image took place is not mysterious.
05:39It's the same process by which every billionaire has revived their public image
05:44since John D. Rockefeller hired Ivy Ledbetter Lee to transform him from the head of the Standard Oil Hydra
05:49into the kind old man handing out dimes to strangers.
06:15More to the point, John D. Rockefeller knew that to gain the adoration of the public,
06:20he had to appear to give them what they want.
06:22Money
06:23He devoted hundreds of millions of dollars of his vast oil monopoly fortune to establishing institutions that,
06:30he claimed, were for the public good.
06:32The General Education Board
06:34The Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research
06:37The Rockefeller Foundation
06:40Similarly, Bill Gates has spent much of the past two decades transforming himself from software magnate
06:46into a benefactor of humanity through his own Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
06:50In fact, Gates has surpassed Rockefeller's legacy with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation long having eclipsed the Rockefeller Foundation
06:57as the largest private foundation in the world, with $46.8 billion of assets on its books that it wields
07:04in its stated program areas
07:09And, like Rockefeller, Gates' transformation has been helped along by a well-funded public relations campaign.
07:17Gone are the theatrical tricks of the PR pioneers.
07:21The ubiquitous ice cream cones of Gates' mentor Warren Buffett are the last remaining holdout of the old Rockefeller handing
07:27-out-dimes gimmick.
07:29No, Gates has guided his public image into that of a modern-day saint through an even simpler tactic
07:35Buying good publicity
07:38The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation spends tens of millions of dollars per year on media partnerships
07:43sponsoring coverage of its program areas across the board
07:47Gates funds the Guardian's global development website
07:50Gates funds NPR's global health coverage
07:53Gates funds the Our World in Data website that is tracking the latest statistics and research on the coronavirus pandemic
07:59Gates funds BBC coverage of global health and development issues
08:03both through its BBC Media Action Organization and the BBC itself
08:07Gates funds world health coverage on ABC News
08:12When the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer was given a $3.5 million Gates Foundation grant to set up a special
08:17unit to report on global health issues
08:20NewsHour Communications Chief Rob Flynn was asked about the potential conflict of interest that such a unit would have
08:25in reporting on issues that the Gates Foundation is itself involved in
08:30In some regards, I guess you might say that there are not a heck of a lot of things you
08:34could touch in global health these days
08:35that would not have some kind of Gates tentacle
08:37Flynn responded
08:40Indeed, it would be almost impossible to find any area of global health that has been left untouched by the
08:46tentacles of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
08:49It was Gates who sponsored the meeting that led to the creation of GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance
08:54a global public-private partnership bringing together state sponsors and big pharmaceutical companies
08:59whose specific goals include the creation of healthy markets for vaccines and other immunization products
09:05As a founding partner of the Alliance, the Gates Foundation provided $750 million in seed funding
09:11and has gone on to make over $4.1 billion in commitments to the group
09:16Gates provided the seed money that created the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
09:21a public-private partnership that acts as a finance vehicle for governmental AIDS, TB and malaria programs
09:28When a public-private partnership of governments, world health bodies and 13 leading pharmaceutical companies came together in 2012
09:35to accelerate progress toward eliminating or controlling 10 neglected tropical diseases
09:40there was the Gates Foundation, with $363 million of support
09:45When the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents was launched in 2015
09:51to leverage billions of dollars in public and private financing for global health and development programs
09:56there was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as a founding partner with a $275 million contribution
10:03When the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations was launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2017
10:09to develop vaccines against emerging infectious diseases
10:12there was the Gates Foundation, with an initial injection of $100 million
10:17The examples go on and on
10:20The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's fingerprints can be seen on every major global health initiative of the past two
10:26decades
10:27And beyond the flashy, multi-billion-dollar global partnerships
10:30the Foundation is behind hundreds of smaller country and region-specific grants
10:35$10 million to combat a locust infestation in East Africa
10:39or $300 million to support agricultural research in Africa and Asia
10:42that add up to billions of dollars in commitments
10:46It comes as no surprise, then, that
10:49far beyond the $250 million that the Gates Foundation has pledged to the fight against coronavirus
10:55every aspect of the current coronavirus pandemic involves organizations, groups, and individuals
11:01with direct ties to Gates funding
11:04From the start, the World Health Organization has directed the global response to the current pandemic
11:10From its initial monitoring of the outbreak in Wuhan
11:12and its declaration in January that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission
11:16to its live media briefings and its technical guidance on country-level planning and other matters
11:21The WHO has been the body setting the guidelines and recommendations shaping the global response to this outbreak
11:27But even the World Health Organization itself is largely reliant on funds from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
11:35The WHO's most recent donor report shows that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the organization's second-largest donor
11:41behind the United States government
11:43The Gates Foundation single-handedly contributes more to the world health body than Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, and the
11:51UK combined
11:53What's more, current World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
11:58is in fact, like Bill Gates himself, not a medical doctor at all
12:02but the controversial ex-minister of health of Ethiopia
12:05who was accused of covering up three cholera outbreaks in the country during his tenure
12:10Before joining the WHO, he served as chair of the Gates-founded Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria
12:17and sat on the board of the Gates-founded Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
12:20and the Gates-funded Stop TB Partnership
12:24The current round of lockdowns and restrictive stay-home orders in Western countries
12:28were enacted on the back of alarming models predicting millions of deaths in the United States
12:32and hundreds of thousands in the UK
12:36Imperial College in London released a COVID-19 report
12:39and that's where most of our U.S. leaders are getting the information they're basing their decision-making on
12:45The report runs us through a few different ways this could turn out
12:48depending on what our responses are
12:50If we don't do anything to control this virus
12:52over 80% of people in the U.S. would be infected over the course of the epidemic
12:58with 2.2 million deaths from COVID-19
13:02That 2.2 million deaths also doesn't account for the potential negative effects of health systems being overwhelmed
13:09From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction
13:13You must stay at home
13:16Enough is enough
13:18Go home and stay home
13:22A statewide order for people to stay at home
13:28The work of two research groups was crucial in shaping the decisions of the UK and U.S. governments
13:34to implement wide-ranging lockdowns and, in turn, governments around the world
13:39The first group, the Imperial College COVID-19 Research Team
13:43issued a report on March 16th that predicted up to 500,000 deaths in the UK
13:48and 2.2 million deaths in the U.S. unless strict government measures were put in place
13:54The second group, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Bill Gates' home state of Washington
14:00helped provide data that corroborated the White House's initial estimates of the virus effects
14:04Estimates that have been repeatedly downgraded as the situation has progressed
14:10Unsurprisingly, the Gates Foundation has injected substantial sums of money into both groups
14:15This year alone, the Gates Foundation has already given $79 million to Imperial College
14:22And in 2017, the Foundation announced a $279 million investment into the IHME
14:29to expand its work collecting health data and creating models
14:33Anthony Fauci, meanwhile, has become the face of the U.S. government's coronavirus response
14:39Echoing Bill Gates' assertion that the country will not get back to normal
14:42until a good vaccine can be found to ensure the public's safety
14:47If you want to get to pre-corona virus, you know, that might not ever happen in the sense of
14:53the fact that the threat is there, but I believe with the therapies that will be coming online
14:58and with the fact that I feel confident that over a period of time we will get a good vaccine
15:02that we will never have to get back to where we are right back now
15:07Beyond just their frequent collaborations and cooperation in the past
15:10Fauci has direct ties to Gates' projects and funding
15:13In 2010, he was appointed to the Leadership Council of the Gates-founded Decade of Vaccines Project
15:20to implement a global vaccine action plan
15:22a project to which Gates committed $10 billion of funding
15:26And in October of last year, just as the current pandemic was beginning
15:30the Gates Foundation announced a $100 million contribution
15:34to the National Institute of Health
15:35to help, among other programs, Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases research into HIV
15:43Also in October of last year, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation partnered with the World Economic Forum
15:49and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security to stage Event 201
15:52A tabletop exercise gauging the economic and societal impact of a globally spreading coronavirus pandemic
16:00It began in healthy-looking pigs, months, perhaps years ago
16:06A new coronavirus
16:08The mission of the Pandemic Emergency Board is to provide recommendations to deal with the major global challenges
16:15arising in response to an unfolding pandemic
16:19The board is comprised of highly experienced leaders from business, public health, and civil society
16:25We're at the start of what's looking like it will be a severe pandemic
16:30And there are problems emerging that can only be solved by global business and governments working together
16:36Governments need to be willing to do things that are out of their historical perspective
16:43For the most part, it's really a war footing that we need to be on
16:48Given the incredible reach that the tentacles of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have
16:53into every corner of the global health markets
16:55It should not be surprising that the Foundation has been intimately involved
16:59with every stage of the current pandemic crisis either
17:03In effect, Gates has merely used the wealth from his domination of the software market
17:08to leverage himself into a similar position in the world of global health
17:12The whole process has been cloaked in the mantle of selfless philanthropy
17:16But the Foundation is not structured as a charitable endeavor
17:21Instead, it maintains a dual structure
17:23The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation distributes money to grantees
17:27But a separate entity
17:29The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust
17:32manages the endowment assets
17:35These two entities often have overlapping interests
17:39And, as has been noted many times in the past
17:43Grants given by the Foundation
17:44often directly benefit the value of the Trust's assets
17:50One of my favorite parts about my job at the Gates Foundation
17:53is that I get to travel to the developing world
17:55And I do that quite regularly
17:58My first trip in India, I was in a person's home
18:00where they had dirt floors, no running water, no electricity
18:04And that's really what I see all over the world
18:07So, in short, I'm startled by all the things that they don't have
18:14But I am surprised by one thing that they do have
18:18Coca-Cola
18:20Coke is everywhere
18:22In fact, when I travel in the developing world, Coke feels ubiquitous
18:26And so, when I come back from these trips
18:28And I'm thinking about development
18:29And I'm flying home
18:30And I'm thinking, well, we're trying to deliver condoms to people
18:33Or vaccinations
18:34You know, Coke's success kind of stops and makes you wonder
18:38How is it that they can get Coke to these far-flung places?
18:42And if they can do that
18:43Why can't governments and NGOs do the same thing?
18:47And the charity of Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda
18:51Is under criticism following the disclosure
18:53It substantially increased its holdings in the agribusiness giant Monsanto
18:57To over $23 million
18:59Critics say the investment in Monsanto contradicts the Bill
19:03And Melinda Gates Foundation's stated commitment
19:05To helping farmers in sustainable development in Africa
19:09The study from the pressure group Global Justice Now
19:12Paints a picture of the Gates Foundation
19:14Partly as an expression of corporate America's desire to profit from Africa
19:18And partly a damning critique of its effects
19:21You could have a case where the initial research is done by a Gates-funded institution
19:27The media reporting on how well that research is conducted is done
19:31The media outlet is a Gates-funded outlet
19:35And maybe a Gates-funded journalist from a media programme
19:37And then the programme is implemented more widely by a Gates-funded NGO
19:42I mean, there are some very insular circles here
19:47Among the many criticisms, the idea that private finance can solve the problems of the developing world
19:53Should poor farmers be trapped into debt
19:56By having to use chemicals or fertilisers
19:58Underwritten by offshoots of the foundation?
20:03This is no mere theoretical conflict of interest
20:06Gates is held up as a hero for donating $35.8 billion worth of his Microsoft stock to the foundation
20:13But during the course of his decade of vaccines
20:16Gates' net worth has actually doubled
20:19From $54 billion to $103.1 billion
20:24The Rockefeller story provides an instructive template for this vision of tycoon-turned-philanthropist
20:30When Rockefeller faced a public backlash
20:33He helped spearhead the creation of a system of private foundations that connected in with his business interests
20:40Leveraging his unprecedented oil monopoly fortune into unprecedented control over wide swaths of public life
20:47Rockefeller was able to kill two birds with one stone
20:51Moulding society in his family's own interests
20:54Even as he became a beloved figure in the public imagination
20:59Similarly, Bill Gates has leveraged his software empire
21:02Into a global health, development and education empire
21:05Steering the course of investment and research
21:08And ensuring healthy markets for vaccines and other immunization products
21:13And, like Rockefeller
21:15Gates has been transformed from the feared and reviled head of a formidable Hydra
21:20Into a kindly old man, generously giving his wealth back to the public
21:24But not everyone has been taken in by this PR trick
21:28Even the Lancet observed this worrying transformation
21:31From software monopolist to health monopolist back in 2009
21:35When the extent of this Gates-led monopoly was becoming apparent to all
21:40The first guiding principle of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
21:43Is that it is driven by the interests and passions of the Gates family
21:47An annual letter from Bill Gates summarizes those passions
21:51Referring to newspaper articles, books and chance events that have shaped the Foundation's strategy
21:57For such a large and influential investor in global health
22:01Is such a whimsical governance principle good enough?
22:06This brings us back to the question
22:08Who is Bill Gates?
22:10What are his driving interests?
22:13What motivates his decisions?
22:15These are not academic questions
22:18Gates' decisions have controlled the flows of billions of dollars
22:22Formed international partnerships pursuing wide-ranging agendas
22:26Ensured the creation of healthy markets for big pharma vaccine manufacturers
22:31And now, as we are seeing
22:34His decisions are shaping the entire global response
22:38To the coronavirus pandemic
22:42Next week, we will further explore Gates' vaccination initiatives
22:46The business interests behind them
22:48And the larger agenda that is beginning to take shape
22:52As we enter the new normal of the COVID-19 crisis
23:02Next week on The Corbett Report
23:04And then the final solution
23:07Which is a year to two years off
23:09Is the vaccine
23:11The only thing that will really allow life as we once knew it to resume
23:15Is a vaccine
23:16This will be the new normal
23:19Until a vaccine is developed
23:21The truth is that this attempt to reorient the global health economy
23:25Was part of a much bigger agenda
23:28When we started developing coronavirus vaccines
23:32We noticed in laboratory animals
23:33That they started to show some of the same immune pathology
23:37Just to head off the conspiracy theorists
23:40Maybe we shouldn't call the vaccine the final solution
23:42Maybe it's just the best solution
23:45Okay
