This is amazing news:

"We must make this the decade of vaccines," said Bill Gates.


The foundation directs most of its attention to global health, education and agriculture in the third world and has committed more than $21 billion since it was established in 1994.


The $10 billion commitment is the largest pledge ever made by a charitable foundation to a single cause, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, a newspaper covering nonprofit organizations.


"By significantly scaling up the delivery of life-saving vaccines in developing countries to 90 percent coverage -- including new vaccines to prevent severe diarrhea and pneumonia -- the model suggests that we could prevent the deaths of some 7.6 million children under 5 from 2010-2019."


WOW.

Do yourself a favour and don't read the comments, unless you're not tired of rehashed MERCURY!11 talking points yet.
 
Global warming is going to kill more people in the third world than those Mr. Gates saves with vaccines.
Perhaps he should consider spending his money on reducing the USA's emissions.

well Mr. Gates knows that americans can reduce their emissions themself if they actually want.

Mr. Gates is trying to help those that cant help themself.

saving emisions in the 1. world is only hindered to human stupidness and lazyness.

I always thought money talks especially in the US.

Are you sure? The flu kills A LOT of people.

There are many worthy causes out there. Vaccination is just one. The fact that he chose that one in particular is not sinful.

I believe that the Gates foundation has already sunk billions into a vaccination against Forum Trollitis. Unfortunately, it has not paid off to date...

Thanks Bill.

This is a scam. Everyone knows the rich only care about themselves.

Just ask Lefty,Lomiller and Magyar among others.
 
I agree about Lefty and Magyar, but no sure Lomiller deserves to be lumped in with them.

Yea, I'd be inclined to agree with you in general until he made this response in this thread.... http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166285

It seems to me you are basing your argument on the wishful thinking that no one needs to pay these taxes at all. The reality is you collect the money from those that have it or you squeeze those that don’t and force them into poverty in perpetuity because they need to work to pay your taxes instead of getting the education that allows them to make these higher wages.

What the US is moving towards is a system dominated by dynastic wealth, if you come from a rich family you can get the opportunities and education to do the things you mentioned. If you don’t come from a wealth family you simply don’t get those opportunities because people like you insist on making them work to shoulder the tax burden for the wealthy.

I've disagreed with his views on things but that is kinda extreme to me.
 
A little over the top for me, but compared to the kind of rants that Lefty does.....
