Doing "God's Work": is Bill Gates's Second Career Ethically Messier than his First?
By John Stone
Next week Bill Gates is to deliver the BBC’s annual Dimbleby lecture. In advance of this event Gates was profiled by a Daily Telegraph feature writer, Neil Tweedie. Unfortunately – like so many modern mainstream journalists – Mr Tweedie seems to have abandoned the task of balanced and informed reporting. He certainly shows no sign of responding to the letter I sent him three days ago. Thus it is Gates seems to be able to rely on a defeated and abject mainstream media to ignore or cover over the tracks of disaster.
Gates’s second career is in many ways very like his first: a matter of global conquest without too much finesse (everyone simply has to have his products) but this time the price in human terms is very high when it goes wrong. Here is my letter to Tweedie:
Dear Mr Tweedie,
You may not have known but on the day your interview with Bill Gates was published he was successfully negotiating for the exclusion of mercury containing paediatic vaccines from a UN global mercury ban, a matter which he omitted to mention and in which he has kept a low profile. Despite what his underlings or the British government say, all mercury is toxic and it is being administered to infants in toxic quantites. The use of these vaccines in the UK was phased out in 2004, either because the British government thought it politically unacceptable or because they tacitly knew they were doing damage. I have also written about it here .
Meanwhile, in regard to polio eradication I draw you attention to a paper by Vashisht and Puliyel in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics sarcastically titled: "Polio programme: let us declare victory and move on" for which this is the abstract:
It was hoped that following polio eradication, immunisation could be stopped. However the synthesis of polio virus in 2002, made eradication impossible. It is argued that getting poor countries to expend their scarce resources on an impossible dream over the last 10 years was unethical. Furthermore, while India has been polio-free for a year, there has been a huge increase in non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP). In 2011, there were an extra 47,500 new cases of NPAFP. Clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio received. Though this data was collected within the polio surveillance system, it was not investigated. The principle of primum-non-nocere was violated. The authors suggest that the huge bill of US$ 8 billion spent on the programme, is a small sum to pay if the world learns to be wary of such vertical programmes in the future.
Also, the schedule which Gates, GAVI, the WHO and governments are implementing takes no account of the adverse synergistic effects of the combined vaccines. I attach a copy of the paper by Aaby et al 'Vaccine programmes must their effect on general resistance' (BMJ. 2012 Jun 14;344:e3769. doi: 10.1136/bmj.e3769).
Finally, I note the horrific story, so far unreported in the mainstream media of Europe and the US of the tragic consequences of an experiment in Chad ... with a new meningitis vaccine [which] has left 40 out of 500 children paralysed.
My own view is that if Bill Gates really wants to do good he should be more careful: just being a big guy with a big heart is not enough. In the "war on disease" the collateral damage can be utterly appalling and the media should not shy away from reporting it.
Yours sincerely,
John Stone (UK Editor, Age of Autism)
Greetings to Seth Kalichman.
"... The experts wish to specifically state that analysis of the epidemiological, medical, clinical, and diagnostic tests data, has not been able to establish a causal link between the clinical manifestations observed in the patients and the MenAfriVac vaccine.
The symptoms observed in patients are similar to those described in the literature under several names:
Collective hysteria
Collective obsessive behavior
Mass psychogenic phenomenon
The independent experts thank the population and the authorities in Chad for their confidence. They request that the authorities be diligent in the implementation of the recommendations that will facilitate a return to a peaceful situation that will be to the benefit of the vaccination programs.
The full preliminary report has been submitted to the governmental authorities and will be finalized by the Health Service in Tunisia, where 7 of the 35 patients from N’Djamena were evacuated.
The Ministry of Public Health has worked in collaboration with the experts whilst guaranteeing the complete independence of the investigation. The Ministry welcomes the experts’ conclusions in reassuring the patients, their families, and the general public of the health status of the evacuated patients from Gouro, the quality of the MenAfriVac vaccine and the overall importance of vaccination.

Clean water business? Does it happen to include flouridation and/or chlorine? That ain't clean.
In other news, apparently population control is now God's work.

Gates is actually in the clean water and sanitation business, among other things. It does seem a more certain way of helping, frankly.

Why is Bill Gates in the vaccine business??? It is very profitable and you can sell pretty well any vaccine with the blanket immunity from the governments.If he would truly
have a big heart and big understanding then he would spend his money on clean water,sanitation,education about hygiene,etc.
rather than on TOXIC VACCINES THAT PARALYZE CHILDREN.He is the 1% that trying to reduce the other 99%.

I imagine the Dimbleby lecture is an invitation only event, not that the BBC looks a very good club these days.

That would have been my next paragraph if I had written it. The swell guys don't care what damage they inflict - perhaps what F Scott Fitzgerald meant by "the rich are different" if he really said it.
Posted by: John Stone | January 25, 2013 at 02:08 PM
Just one other thought:
The wealthy donot feel the full impact on their lifestyle when a child of theirs becomes vaccine damaged. They pawn off the day to day care and responsibility onto hired help, i.e., nannies, therapists coordinators and what ever else needs to be covered.
The entire life of all members of a middle class family is completely redirected and enters the world of "THE NEW NORMAL". And I point out that the life of siblings is distorted because most energies of the parents are consumed attending the damaged child. The siblings are cheated of normal life of a child because they are called on to help with the damaged child. This distortion during the developing years affects the development of the siblings and they are damaged for their entire life>

Great letter, John. Yes, sometimes people can 'kill' us with kindness - the polio effort and NPAFP being an example. I wonder if there will be protesters at his talk?
Posted by: Jen | January 25, 2013 at 10:04 AM
Paul,
Well said. I think, however, Dan Burton accepted there has been a problem with the "ruling classes" even where it is their children. We know in the UK that such problems have afflicted the near families of three of the last four prime ministers, which shows how common it is - but the price for being in public life (celeb or politician) is to say nothing, and mostly they are prepared to pay it. Of course, most of them by now - being informed people - will know better than to vaccinate their children and grandchildren according to the schedule, whatever they say in public.

I wonder if God is actually thanking Bill Gates for destroying one of His creations?

So, Bill Gates has "Seen the Light"? I saw the light go out of my son's eyes after receiving the MMR at 13 months old. If Bill is so clever and wants to save humanity, why isn't he listening to both sides of the stories? People like Bill Gates only ever want to make money, and he sees yet another opportunity here, the fact that he is giving $ billions away for somebody at his age and with his wealth, is irrelevant, he has more than he could possibly spend during the rest of his life and all the trappings. To quote Laoocon "Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts".

John, Another very direct and very clear letter. How lucky we in the community suffering from this vaccination fetish including all the poisoning additives appreciate all your efforts. Please never stop challenging the uncaring ash wholes!!!
John, I believe the only way people like Gates and his ilk will give consideration to other possibilities is if someone close to them say, a first child or first grandchild is damaged as our children have been. A perfect example is the conversion of Congressman Dan Burton after
he finally awoke to the fact that his grandchild became autistic after vaccination with FDA approved as safe and in keeping with the FDA protocol. Best Regards, Paul S

Fantastic letter-- which the reporter won't answer, I'm sure, since the Gates Foundation sponsors some of the Telegraph's blogs.
The end of the article struck me, 'So, is it about some new-found faith, all this giving?
“It doesn’t relate to any particular religion; it’s about human dignity and equality,” he says. “The golden rule that all lives have equal value and *we should treat people as we would like to be treated*.”'
47,500 cases of flaccid paralysis in India? I guess down deep Gates wishes he was Stephen Hawking.

Hardly a Journo these days willing to stick up for us ..but we fight on..
Gods work who is Gate`s god...CASH IS GOD...thats why its God`s work not in the Christian meaning..

Thank you, Mr. Stone, for continuing so effectively to press for a truthful representation of vaccine related concerns.
"the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio received"
This reminds of an observation I read that some physicians observed a correlation of polio paralysis with vaccination, i.e. paralysis worse or in the proximity of a limb that had been vaccinated (I'm not sure what vaccine or if it was an observation based on various vaccines).

There is no demarcation between gov and corporate interests in this country; the most successful CEOs often retire to these vague "goodwill" gov positions, and basically wind up drafting and enacting official policy.
But this all dovetails very well with the US govt's(read; Bill Gates) policies across the board. Both the drones and the jabs are now literally seen as the same evil in certain "tribal areas". War crimes. Fighting these weaponized vaccines is going to mean fighting the philosophy of the conglomerate now in control of nearly all of the earth's resources. This "collateral damage" is a side effect of resource warring, period.
Africa is next on the menu and in fact almost out of the oven of destabilization.
With these incidences of blatant injury in various US-policy-targeted backwaters getting unignorably more frequent, has anyone in this community been delegated as a liaison to contact local civilian officials/elders in these areas for both a firmer report and to install a sort of updating feature into this GIGANTIC story? If someone's already doing it, I assume it'd be covert.

What amazes me that one case of polio is all over the news and 47,000 has something like polio - never mentioned.
Very good letter John Stone. Thank you for writing it and fighting the good fight.

Thanks Dan,
Very touched but such an appreciation - not something I will forget.

I think Bill is getting God mixed up with the other fella ...
Louis Cipher says you are doing a terrific job Bill ...well done , keep up the great work - we'll meet again .

I suspect that some think that because they have a very high IQ, have been very successful, and are very rich, they are part of a superior elite and as such have a responsability to improve the condition of the human race, and that it doesn't matter if the dumb masses don't approve, because they are too stupid to know what's best for them...
I wouldn't be suprised if this superior elite might be organized in come kind of underground gang, to try to 'improve the world' using their gigantic influence on the media, politicians, research, education, etc...

Let's be real now - Bill Gates is not doing God's work, only God can do God's work. Bill Gates is doing Big Pharma's work.

Good letter and thank you for writing it.
I was so disturbed by the article in the Telegraph for a number of reasons.... it all feels a little like the emperors new clothes.
1) Gates foundation originally supported profit making schemes from within Microsoft, forcing laptops into schools boosting license revenues. It also had notions about doing the same in developing countries providing satellite internet access again imagine all the new software licenses.....but those folks might prefer food Bill ? Someone as ruthless as this I cant believe has turned to God....drink the Cool Aid springs to mind.
2) Gates is involved in some murky stuff and for someone who says he has no need for money he is making a lot of canny investments which conflict with his new humanist views
http://www.latimes.com/news/la-na
gatesx07jan07,0,2533850.story?page=8
3) Gates is driving the vaccine paradigm in the developing world in my view with arrogant self motivated outcomes (mutterings about a legacy, eradication of polio) or its plain old depopulation
4) Gates is attempting a corporate style take over of Global Agriculture and therefore global food supply with Monsanto
This man and his lady wife care not a jot about vaccines and the harm they cause..........what amazes me that some people don't seem to question his activities .......do you recall the antitrust cases ?

"My own view is that if Bill Gates really wants to do good he should be more careful: just being a big guy with a big heart is not enough."
One of the good things about being God is that you don't have to be "careful".
Unfortunately, Bill is not God .. he is .. afterall is said and done .. just a "big guy with a big heart" who believes himself to be God .. therefore he can do just about anything he wants to do .. absent any consequences of his "good intentions gone horrifically awry". It must be as much fun to be Bill .. as it is for God to be God.
In any event .. a lesser God .. you know .. just a man .. would have to resort to providing the only things history has taught him to be effective in preventing the spread of diseases in undeveloped third world countries .. such as .. providing them with "sanitation, nutrition and clean water".
But I can easily understand why someone who believes himself to be God .. would prefer changing toxic chemicals and deadly antigens into the modern miracle known as vaccines.
