    I know.

    It's pretty sad that he more than doubled what the government of the United States contributed to the tsunami fund for these vaccines, aye?

    That's what I like to see from people with a lot of money. Even if their money is their own, it's great to see them donating to causes like such. Awesome stuff. :)

    I bet Bill Gates actually does own a percentage of the world. I wouldn't be surprised.

    Vaccines arent safe anyways. They basically inject the virus into you to get your immune system to fight it. So basically they risk you getting sick as f*cking possible.

    That's why some states are fighting mandatory vaccines in schools. They just, arent, healthy.

    Put 750 towards a cure for aids, not vaccines that could possibly make the person using them incredibly sick.

    i thought this was going to be about Bill Gates had a virus or something.

    But yea, its an awful nice thing to do but i guess when you've got that much money you don't know what do do with most of it.

    Vaccines are hardly harmful. They're very small doses of a virus that your immune system should easily be able to fight. This builds up an immunity to the disease if it presents itself in a larger form, and gives the person more of a chance to survive it. Giving someone a vaccine is much much more beneficial than just leaving them alone, so saving the lives of milllions of children is an amazing way to spend $750M dollars.

    Gates has already pledged $3M to tsunami relief, with more to come, he says.

    This is a great cause, people.

    I know the percentage of severe side effects or deaths from vaccines isnt high, but it's still enough to make some parents protest.

    Honestly, not to be harsh, I would've rather seen Bill's 750 go towards the Tsunami victims.

    But still, a nice deed. Hopefully he gets something done with his donation :).
