Review: In a new book, the billionaire talks \u0027crazy conspiracy theories\u0027 and how to end the pandemic
Perhaps this book is his solution. For, rather like that other super-rationalist Emmanuel Macron doing his best to contain his despair during France’s presidential campaign debates with Marine Le Pen, Gates has done his best to temper his frustration with the low-functioning non-billionaire community and composed a patient recitation of facts and stats about Covid and global healthcare in general.
Perhaps that is why he thinks he can solve, or at least improve, so much. His last book was about climate change, that other issue which, along with pandemics, he considers “existential” for mankind. So far, so Greta Thunberg or Extinction Rebellion, you might think – but Gates’s contrarian book was optimistic, down to the title: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.
But when he announces that one key task is “strengthening healthcare systems in low- and middle-income countries”, this reader’s response was: “You don’t say.”
