Protesters against Africa’s first COVID-19 vaccine trial burned their face masks Wednesday as experts note a worrying level of resistance and misinformation around testing on the continent.
Anti-vaccine sentiment in Africa is “the worst I’ve ever seen,” the CEO of the GAVI vaccine alliance, Seth Berkley, told an African Union vaccine conference last week.
“In general, people in Africa know the diseases and want to protect each other,” he said. “In this case, the rumor mill has been dramatic."
World leaders have pledged an additional US$ 8.8 billion for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, far exceeding the target of US$ 7.4 billion.
The funding will help immunise 300 million more children in the world’s poorest countries against diseases like measles, polio and diphtheria by the end of 2025. It will also support health systems to withstand the impact of coronavirus and maintain the infrastructure necessary to roll out a future COVID-19 vaccine on a global scale.

I don't think you can get people to "stop" doing anything. I perceive part of the problem is every system seems to limit at least someone's actions (even if that someone is a criminal in someone else's eyes). It begs the question can any system ever be adequate?
I'd argue that it does work now, everyone is just offended at the bits that don't work how they think they should. A pervasively massive problem that will allow emotion to boil beyond reason (conflict of all manner) until we are exhausted by necessity (think the end of a war), and have to let reason take hold again.
That tendency must be short-circuited, by embracing the less altruistic aspect of ourselves openly, in a way that it benefits everyone.
I'm curious, obviously there is a lot here, and to aim for simple discourse; in a paragraph, can you describe the mechanism you are working towards which allows for ANY individual to achieve seal-sufficiency, regardless of their starting point?

I am curious whats Bill Gates medical background that says he is credentialied to be the world authority on health??

Have you watched the Corbett Report series on Bill Gates (of hell)? You should arrange for your friends to watch it. See how they feel about all that ridiculous conspiracy stuff after that.

I think I know what's going on with Gates and the vaccine, but I'm actually afraid to point it out.
You guys are missing a few major pieces of the puzzle.
Several different sets of stories are being gently planted around the MSM to set the stage.

don't think Gates purports to be an expert, or an authority. He just so happens to be very rich and his philanthropy positively impacts people. Gates has donated a vast sum to GAVI for Covid-19 research. Like you he has opinions, except his may be informed by experts.

SO if any rich billionaier donates money healtcare research they then have rights to be a lead person on healthcare without a medical background??
