Bill Gates believes Covid 19 vaccine tech should not be given to India, what he said and why he said it

Even though Gates cited security issues and said it would be too expensive to share the Covid 19 vaccine patents with developing countries, several reports have highlighted the profit-making aspect of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the face of the pandemic.

Tech bigwig and Microsoft founder Bill Gates attracted criticism after a recent interview in which he expressed his reluctance in sharing Covid-19 vaccine technologies with developing countries like India. Even though Gates cites security issues and said it would be too expensive to share the vaccine patents with developing countries, several reports have highlighted the profit-making side of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the face of the pandemic. In a recent interview, Gates was asked if it would be better to share intellectual property rights on Covid-19 vaccines with developing countries, to which he replied by saying a straight "No." In 2015, Gates had warned the world of a pandemic in a TED talk. He had said that a pandemic would take place in the next decade and that it would kill over 30 million people in six months, similar to the 1918 pandemic that killed over 50 million people. "The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war," Gates said during his TED talk. What followed was conspiracy theories which suggest that it was Gates who introduced the virus in a lab, and some even claimed that Bill Gates has developed a vaccine that would control and even depopulate the world through a microchip. Gates rubbished these theories calling them stupid. Gates had noted that their foundation gets money to buy vaccines, and so it was necessary to speak about the dangers of the pandemic. Now, Gates, in an interview, has said something that not only did not go down well with his critics but also the general public.
