Here is a series of events, which lead up to and surround the coronavirus pandemic, which have far reaching impacts on the stock exchange, personal wealth, corporate practice, governments, media and global health and well being. The positive impacts of the money, time and effort are difficult to find, unlike the harms. There isn’t an easy to find paper trail or outcome from actions taken and diverse contributions from different experiences, expertise and viewpoints aren’t mentioned. They are grey areas. An early example is the sudden and mysterious death in 1994 of Gary Kildall, considering his importance to early computer processing, aged 52. This is a picture I have built up from listening to the crowd over the last few years and observing what has been said or reported, how and by whom.
Gary Kildall died in 1994 aged 52 under unclear circumstances. However, around the same time, Microsoft didn’t have an Internet browser and crushed Netscape, which eventually morphed into Mozilla, the creators of Firefox, to lauch Internet Explorer on the first update Windows 95, included by default. Here is a quote from a Guardian article on this course of events.
“So although Gates’s consummate ruthlessness in eliminating Netscape succeeded, it also nearly destroyed Microsoft. In 1998, the US Department of Justice sued it for illegally thwarting competition and for compelling computer makers to include its internet browser when installing Windows.’

With so much spent on global health, why isn’t it easy to find essential, proven facts in a fast-paced, connected, information super-highway world? This 2015 article discusses the work of the Gates Foundation from another perspective.
In light of treatment by Gates towards competitors Netscape and computer innovator Gary Kildall, perhaps more recent events surrounding COVID-19 and towards impact investors Abraaj come less of a surprise. They also show Bill Gates hasn’t changed his business practices, which do not, to me, seem consistent with philanthropy.
2012 Gates invites Arif Naqvi to become signatory of The Giving Pledge
2012-2018 Gates Foundation funds MRC outbreak prediction modelling by Imperial College and Neil Ferguson with over £2million.
March 2015 Gates invests in Curevac, an mRNA developer. (Gates Foundation news release).
2017 an “anonymous” tip (AKA company employee or “whistleblower”) at Abraaj warns about misplaced funds. Gates responds by requesting forensic accounting. KPMG finds no illegal activity, Gates commissions another audit, which results in all funds being returned from Abraaj’s global health fund.
During 2019, Bill Gates met Jeffrey Epstein for dinner three times in Epstein’s New York apartment, after he had been convicted of sex offences. Gates said in 2023 that he shouldn’t have had dinner with him and ought to have listened to ex-wife Melinda, who advised Gates to stay away from Epstein. (Independent, 2023).
April 2019, Arif Naqvi is arrested at Heathrow airport and put under house arrest in London awaiting extradition to United States for almost 300 years in jail. Naqvi loses appeal.
Jeffrey Epstein supposedly committed suicide in Jail in 2019 and his partner Ghislaine Murdoch has since been imprisoned and is still in jail.
Sept 2019 Gates invests in BioNTech
2020 Gates leaves Microsoft Board, while a romantic relationship with an employee is investigated, and sets self up in philanthropy (Guardian, 2021)
5 February 2020 Gates Foundation pledges $100million to fight covid.
4 March 2020, Gates Foundation announces it is sending 1,500 molecules to a lab in Belgium to find any existing medicines that work against covid-19 saying “a little bit” is minimum hoped for as it could be combined with something else. No outcome of this is ever reported.
6 March 2020, FDA start firing out warning letters to natural health, vitamin, herbal, silver and other non-pharmaceutical product practitioners accusing them of medical fraud and scams in relation to covid-19. There are 85 official cases in UK and Boris Johnson hasn’t attended a COBRA meeting.
12 March 2020, PHE UK advised by Prof John Newton, Covid tsar, to stop contact tracing covid cases with reason they will be overwhelmed with millions of cases. Official cases 85 in UK. Quarantining people arriving in UK stops.
March 2020, the NHS website downplays vitamin D deficiency by warning people off taking vitamin D to prevent or treat covid and to remove/downplay the advice that we don’t get enought Vitamin D from the sun between october and March each year and to take a supplement, with further advice for people with darker skin, indoors all day or wearing clothing which covers all their body and face is removed. Healthy Start for low-income families to get supplements and essential foods is quietly withdrawn.
February to April 2020, the stock market crashes, then is volatile with money moving daily for 2 weeks.
16 March 2020, Neil Ferguson releases a paper for Imperial College, which advises to “flatten the curve” to not overwhelm healthcare and to control, not eradicate covid completely (as Asia were attempting and Ferguson sniffs at as too expensive) for 12-18 months, until a vaccine is ready, warning 500,000 deaths and bounce back of cases when restrictions are lifted.
March 2020, Gates advises investors to look at Gilead, creators of Remdesivir, still listed as a covid treatment on the NHS website in June 2023 as of writing, despite no evidence it works against covid or for its safety. Gates also touts Pfizer and Moderna as investments for their covid vaccines.
April 2020 the stock market recovers on announcement of a covid-19 vaccine and surges above 2019 levels.
Correct information does not make it through press to public. An example below:
Dr Jenny Harries, deputy chief medical officer, highlighted that risks of catching the infection could be increased due to the incorrect use and disposal of masks and
because of these behavioural issues, people can adversely put themselves at more risk than less.

A Do Not Resusitate email is circulated among doctors for over 75s (first reported in Daily Mail in 2015) despite ICUs not being full and residents of care homes sent back without testing negative for Covid-19 before being released from hospital, where a high viral load hospital strain of covid is ravaging workers and patients.
Food distributed during the lockdown claims to follow nutrition advice “Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in consultation with nutritionists, and are delivered in a large box left on the doorstep by wholesale food companies on behalf of local government authorities. Each parcel is designed to feed one adult for a week and contains mostly tinned, dried and long-life foods such as pasta, rice, long-life milk and tinned meat and vegetables, along with some a loaf of sliced bread and some fruit and vegetables which can be kept at room temperature such as potatoes, carrots, apples and oranges.” Rice, pasta, bread, cereal, biscuits, milk and potatoes? No fresh greens, meat, fish, nuts, seeds or cheese, not much protein, no dietary fats to absorb fat soluble vitamins, and so much sugar. Benefitting large food agriculturalists and manufacturers from the conflict of interest in official diet advice.
August 2020, Gates Foundation persuades Oxford University to not share their viral vector vaccine globally for manufacture in other countries and to license it to Astra Zeneca.
September 2020 – 4 vaccine stocks the Gates Foundation are betting on. Motley Fool investment article mention Pfizer as top candidate. At this time, Oxford University’s vaccine is on stage 3 trials at the time.
Vaccine roll-out starts in December 2020.
December 2020, Gates Foundation pledge another $250million against covid and echo Ferguson’s paper that healthcare workers were heros but couldn’t be expected to do more than control the virus at low levels not eradicate it completely. Quote and link:
Around the world, public health experts were doing hero’s work, setting up field hospitals; treating and testing patients; securing supplies of oxygen and existing drugs like dexamethasone. But no one thought those efforts were sustainable or that they’d neutralize the threat of COVID-19. They were aimed at suppressing the virus’ spread until researchers succeeded in developing medical solution to the disease, and now they have.

April 2021, Gavi publishes media to promote Remdesivir and to recommend against ivermectin or Hyrodchloroquine for treatment of covid-19.
March 2021, the Astra Zeneca vaccine is pulled from use due to blood clots. Pfizer and Moderna are considered safer.
June 2021, Oxford University’s PRINCIPLE trial calls for people with covid-19 to test drugs including ivermectin.
October 2021, Gates Foundation sells 90% of its BioNTech stock at the peak of their value making $millions.
Pfizer is accused of funding anti-Astra Zeneca information, according to City A.M. Article here.
The FDA warn against using ivermectin or Hydrochloroquine against COVID-19 and starts stripping long standing doctors of their careers, firing and deplatforming them from social media with labels “misinformation” and “crazy conspiracy theorist”, a label used by Gates for those who question him. Ivermectin is labelled a “horse-dewormer’ despite its 2015 Nobel Prize and inclusion on WHO’s essential medicines list for use in humans against river blindness and as a protease inhibitor against viral replication.
Dec 2021, Merck, who had previously issed Ivermectin for free against river blindness then “run out” of supplies for Principle trial, therefore halting the trial based on a belief that it doesn’t work, despite no trial proving this.
A Jama Network trial showing ivermectin doesn’t reduce hospitalisation or save lives against covid is circulated by trolls online who are part of “non-profit groups”, which has 5 mobile website pages of conflicts of interest. WHO had previously said ivermectin’s safety profile as “well-tolerated” in humans meant it didn’t require a trial (2012).
September 2021, UK government pulls deal with French firm Valneva’s inactivated adjuvanted covid vaccine due to a “breach of contract” which wasn’t named and the vaccine would get approval. It is the first covid vaccine to get full approval by the European Medicines Agency. Here is the September 2021 news about the cancelled deal. Here is Valneva’s covid vaccine’s approval. When the government cancelled the deal, Valneva’s share price slumped by 40%.
After the cancellation by the UK government threatened the completion of the Valneva vaccine, according to Fortune, but Pfizer stepped in to buy shares of Valneva, holding 8.1% of the company.
Despite the aforementioned successful covid-19 vaccine, in November 2021 Bill Gates says:
“We need a new way of doing the covid vaccines. We also need to fix the three problems of [COVID-19] vaccines. The current vaccines are not infection-blocking. They’re not broad, so when new variants come up you lose protection, and they have very short duration, particularly in the people who matter, which are old people.”
Bill Gates, November 2021, speaking at The Lowy Institute.
October 2022, Keir Starmer meets Bill Gates in Westminster to talk about climate change and global health. The weird thing here is every news report has exactly the same wording from the Independent to the Belfast Telegraph.
Finally, after all the money pledged by the Gates Foundation to fight covid, with Bill Gates behind GAVI and CEPI, working with the Wellcome Trust, masking and ventilation recommendations are still unclear and covid is still spreading in June 2023, with the Arcturus strain. All 3 lockdowns started at or after the peak of cases and pubs were shut at 10pm in September 2020, which would cause crowding around public transport, compared to staggering travel times during Spanish Flu Pandemic of 2018-2019, which Oxford University says was 14 times more lethal that covid-19.
In 2022 Bill Gates says:
“We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate & that it’s a disease mainly in the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different than that. Once Omicron comes along, the vaccine is not reducing transmission, hardly at all, particularly about three or four months after you take the vaccine.”
Bill Gates, 5 May 2022, in an interview, saying what opponents of lockdowns had been deplatformed, censored on social media, accused of “misinformation” amd called “conspiracy theorists” since early 2020.
My conclusion is that Bill Gates’ objective is not in public best interests. He funded Neil Ferguson’s paper for Imperial college published on 16.3.2020 saying the virus couldn’t be eliminated and all we could do was keep the virus at a low level until vaccines appeared in 12-18 months. This is echoed on Gates Foundation website in December 2020, when they pledged another $250million to fight covid. Therefore, this conclusion reached in March 2020 was unchanged by December 2020. In the UK for 10 weeks during the summer, cases were almost zero. I think, with clear guidance on masks, ventilation and clusters the virus could have been eliminated and only those with compromised immunity would have needed a vaccine, the same as for flu, which kills thousands every year. The money pledged by the Gates Foundation to fight covid has no paper trail or evidence of results caused. Mask-use was made inexcusably unclear, incorrect and confusing.
This Oxford University paper shows that covid had no reason to cause such stock market volatility compared to 3 previous pandemics in the USA, none of which lasted no more than 2 years, with the flu vaccine first arriving in 1958. To me, this shows absolute failure by leaders to inform the public responsibly, with the nation’s health the top priority. A coronavirus or rhinovirus vaccine has been sought for decades without success, with trials since 2004, for SARS vaccines cited against bioterrorism, lab leaks or re-emergence from natural spill-over. Use in humans was continually cautioned in SARS vaccine research papers, with 2004 accidental release of SARS transparently reported.
In light of the complete downfall and break-up of impact investment equity company Abraaj and its CEO being smeared in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times in one-sided, subjective articles, despite KPMG clearing them of any wrongdoing, it is highly significant that secretive and unaccountable actions by the Gates Foundation are treated with respect by most publications, while Arif Naqvi is accused of money fraud and threatened with almost 300 years in jail, while nothing has been proven against him and now Imran Khan has been arrested in Pakistan. This was about turning Karachi Electric into an effective company and attempting to sell it to the Chinese.
Gates has a huge amount of undeclared conflict of interest over global health, impact investing, covid, vaccines, tax free foundation investments, censoring people online, smearing opponents, calling people “conspiracy theorists” without evidence, persuading Oxford University to license their vaccine instead of sharing it globally. Transparency he lacks completely and bats off challenges to this as “jealousy” or by saying “that isn’t how the world works”. Government money needs to stay in the public sector unless private investors can account for their use and not spend it on controlling the media and lobbying for more money without measure, scrutiny, oversight or accountability.
