To be fair, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent billions on efforts like eradicating Polio, as well as improving sanitation in some parts of the world.
Bill Gates has a lot of you fooled. https://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/9/report_gates_foundation_causing_harm_with
He was still doing it in 2015 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/19/gates-foundation-has-14bn-in-fossil-fuels-investments-guardian-analysis
He said again in 2019 he won't divest from fossil fuels https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/5672.htm
People who think Gates is doing good with his wealth basically don't understand that a lot of the problems we are facing are caused by wealth inequality in the first place. Some of you are watching 6 monkeys hoard all the bananas and then when they throw you 1 you love them for it?
Edit: Theres a french journalist who wrote a whole book about the gates scam. Here an interview on youtube with him https://youtu.be/Dqzt6yAmdDE?t=246. Also fixed formatting and missing link

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pays millions to shore up pharmaceutical IP in developing countries.
