Reuters reminds that the Gatesa Foundation is one of the world's largest health founders, and Gates himself is a well -known supporter of vaccination. “It is tragic that we are witnessing this skepticism towards vaccines, because although the number of additional deaths in rich countries will probably be small, every life should be counting ” He said in an interview with the agency.
He added that skepticism spreading in low income countries is dangerous, especially since, for example, malnourished children are more likely to be infected. “Over 1,000 children in the United States will get measles, which can mean three or four deaths. In Africa, this number will be 300” – he emphasized.

Dispute with Trump's administration for vaccines
Reuters informs that in July this year Bill Gates met with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health of the USA. Their conversations concerned, among others, vaccination issues, which are the key area of the Gates Foundation and Kennedi's polemic. Gates in an interview with Reuters revealed that the discussion brought a consensus in the form of consent to differences in views. Simply put, both of them “They agreed to disagree” in terms of vaccines.
Kennedy has long questioned the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, which is one of the foundations of his actions as a health secretary. “If we are pragmatic, we should find a way to cooperate,” Bill Gates summed up their relationship.
