"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always." Mohandas Gandhi

Fundação Gates e os amigos da indústria farmacêutica

o sr Bill Gates e a sua fundação parece que querem colocar as coisas ao contrário tal como fazem no mundo do software, ou seja, esconder tudo a todos e onde o dinheiro é rei e senhor.
Ora esta práctica é totalmente contrária ao desenvolvimento da ciência e como cada vez mais se vê, é também totalmente contrária a uma boa qualidade de produtos e serviços de software, aliás pode-se afirmar que o software livre é um excelente exemplo de como a ciência só se consegue desenvolver pela possibilidade dos pares verificarem o trabalho uns dos outros.

Não nos podemos esquecer que a fundação Gates existe mais para fazer dinheiro e fugir a impostos, do que própriamente para fazer o bem, esta suposta instituição de "caridade" é accionista das maiores poluidoras que existem quer nos USA quer no Canadá.

Dark cloud over good works of Gates Foundation


" People blame fumes and soot spewing from flames that tower 300 feet
into the air over a nearby oil plant. It is owned by the Italian
petroleum giant Eni, whose investors include the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation."

O médico japonês Dr. Arata Kochi tem sido um férreo crítico quanto ao cartel que se vem desenvolvendo à volta quer da luta anti-tuberculose quer da luta anti-malária, onde grandes corporações e fundações como a de Bill Gates, escondem investigação e vendem medicamentos aos países sabendo de antemão que essas terapias já não são eficazes.

Instead of simply loading the latest silver cartridge — artemisinin, the Chinese anti-malaria drug — Dr. Arata Kochi, the new chief of the World Health Organization's global malaria program, has turned an enfilading fire on the whole field: the drug-makers, the net-makers, the scientists and even the donors and the suffering countries they try to help.

"The malaria community hates me," Dr. Kochi said in an interview in the W.H.O.'s small Manhattan office. "I said, basically, 'You are stupid.' Their science is very weak. The community is small and inward-looking and fighting each other."

Dr. Kochi, who in the past ran the agency's Stop TB initiative, has never been known for his diplomatic skills. A 57-year-old graduate of Japanese medical schools and the Harvard School of Public Health, he ruled the Stop TB campaign with an iron fist, colleagues say, and by his own admission, so alienated the Rockefeller Foundation and other partners that he was ultimately forced out of the job.

In January, he attacked the drug industry, naming 18 companies that were selling artemisinin in single-pill form, and giving them 90 days to stop. Monotherapy encourages resistance, and if artemisinin was lost, he said, "it will be at least 10 years before a drug that good is discovered — basically, we're dead."
