Capitalism Strikes Back
Score one for the good guys.
Let's keep in mind, folks, that Bill Gates could easily use his money to build a fleet of solid gold dump trucks, and still probably have enough money left over to fill all the dump trucks with quarters, and still probably have enough money left over to be richer than you or I will ever be.
What does he do instead? He spends nearly three times as much as the entire country of Norway, to last twice as long as the donations of the entire country of Norway, to immunize infants.
My hat goes off to you, Mr. Gates.
The foundation run by Microsoft magnate Bill Gates has announced it is dedicating $750m (£400m) to a worldwide infant vaccination programme.
Mr Gates said the donation would help save millions of children's lives.
"Supporting children's immunisation is undoubtedly the best investment we've ever made," he said in a statement.
At the same time, it was announced that Norway was donating $290m to the same organisation, the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunisation (Gavi).
Mr Gates' pledge is to run over 10 years, and Norway's over five.
