Microsoft founder and billionaire, Bill Gates has donated $83 million dollars to help in the research of Tuberculosis. Executive Director of the Gates Foundation's Global Health Programme, Dr. Richard Klausner said, "It is unacceptable that TB continues to kill someone every 15 seconds when we have the ability to discover new tools to stop it. Through accelerated research and development, a new vaccine could permanently change the trajectory of the epidemic and save millions of lives every year." Tuberculosis is responsible for killing over two million people every year. |

| I know I never thought I'd see a boob on the boob tube (except for Shaka Zulu and those documentaries about natives). :-) |

| stop donating money to healthcare causes BillG. Its all a big waste. You can't possibly donate money as fast as the democrats steal it from those causes. Yeah, I guess its not technically stealing... but the effect is the same. Union Labor, guaranteed pay raises based on longevity, regulation on everything down to how to sharpen a pencil before recording someone's vitals, and on and on. |
