Pressed by the anti-Trump media to criticize the White House coronavirus response, 64-year-old billionaire Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gate has joined the resistance three months before the election to stop 74-year-old President Donald Trump from a second term. Democrats, led by 77-year-old former Vice President and presumptive nominee Joe Biden, have made Trump’s bungling of the coronavrus AKA SARS CoV-2 or Covid-19 crisis its major campaign strategy heading into the Nov. 3 election. Gates joins Democrats accusing the White House response to testing a complete disaster. Gates finds himself thrown into the media maelstrom because he’s objecting to Trump’s handling of the virus. Gates becomes the new Anthony Sacramucci, a turncoat, who’s spent every waking hour attacking Trump since getting fired July 31, 2017, spending only 10 days on the job.
From Day One, Scaramucci was a loose cannon, firing Scaramucci only a brief stint on the job. Because he turned anti-Trump he became a darling of the anti-Trump press, much like Gates has become through the coronvirus crisis. Gates, who has vested interests in Abbott Laboratories Covid-19 three-minute testing equipment and University of Washington Institute for Health Care Metrics and Evaluation [IHME], has an ax to grind slamming Trump. Gates’ IHME has made wild, inaccurate forecast about the course of the coronavirus epidemic, telling 52-year-old California Gov. Gavin March 31 that 25.5 million residents would be infected by May 1. As of Aug. 10, Calif. had 567,065 cases, showing the kind of reckless predictions made by IHME, leading Newsom to shut down the Calif. economy. Gates’s IHME was responsible for the computer modeling driving lockdowns around the country.
Between April and June, the U.S. economy was essentially shutdown over Gates’s faulty modeling, causing some 30 million U.S. citizens to loose their jobs, driving the unemployment rate from 3.5% to over 11%, in some parts of the country over 20%. Gate’s wise advice, echoed by National Institutes of Health [NIH] chief of Infectious Disease Dr. Anthony Fauci, has plunged the U.S. economy into the worst recession since the Great Depression. Gates called the U.S. Covid-19 testing system “insanity,” saying the country was paying “a pretty dramatic price,” in terms of death and wasted money. But any factual look at the record shows that Gates’s IHME drove the nationwide shutdowns that sent the U.S. economy into a tailspin. Gates now wants to blame economic problems from the Covid-19 crisis on poor testing, something so preposterous it can pass unnoticed.
Gates admits that he speaks with Fauci regularly, someone who also joined the Democrat resistance to defeat Trump in November. Fauci doesn’t like when Trump criticizes him for once opposing the public wearing masks and shutting down air travel to-and-from China. Gates insists that poor testing is responsible for why the Covid-19 crisis lingers in the U.S., where other, smaller countries, seem to have a better grasp on the crisis. Throwing criticism back to Trump, Fauci said the U.S. didn’t shut down to 95%, like other European or Asian countries, leaving the virus lingering. But the virus, regardless of shutdowns in Europe and Asia, continues to linger, with outbreaks occurring all over the world, not just the U.S. If you listen to Fauci, the U.S. did just about everything wrong under his direction. Like Gates and Scaramucci, Fauci’s used by the anti-Trump press as a foil against the president.
Gates has done everything possible to deny that his IHME has misled states into shutting down economies, causing the worst recession since the Great Depression. No, instead, Gates keeps beating the dead horse of Covid-19 testing, as if that would change anything . “You can’t get the federal government to improve the testing because they just want to say how great it is,” Gates, said showing how partisan he’s become. “I have said to them, look, have a CDC website that prioritizes who gets tested. That’s trivial to do. They won’t pay attention to that . . “ Gates said, complaining that three-days tests are utterly worthless. Where Gates has become such an expert on Covid-19 is anyone’s guess. For someone who dropped out of Harvard after his first year, he should stick to what he knows related to programming and Microsoft business, pretending he’s an expert because he’s a billionaire.
Gates likes to tout the great progress made against the virus in European countries over the U.S. But any cursory analysis of Europe’s situation shows there in just as bad a shape, if not worse, from the United State. Gates advice given by his health care metrics company IHME has done more damage to the U.S. economy pressuring governors to shut down than the effect of the coronavirus. Shutting down California, 10% of the U.S. industrial base, has been catastrophic to the state and the nation. While there’s nothing wrong with Gates spending a small fraction of his $113.6 billion fortune on Covid-19, there’s something very wrong of joining the Democrat resistance and pretending he’s nonpartisan. Like Scaramucci, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Ut.), former media darling now convicted felon Atty. Michael Avenatti, Gates is used by the anti-Trump media to keep the president from a second term.
