Hasta La Gadget!

When he’s not trash talking Google, Microsoft founder Bill
Gates is devoting himself to doing more good in the world. The battle against malaria
has long been one of the chief issues of his post-executive life. In a recent
interview, Gates told the BBC that he thought a malaria vaccine is not far off.

“We have a vaccine that’s in the last trial phase–called
phase three,” he told the network. “A partially effective vaccine could even be
available within three years, but a […] fully effective vaccine will take
five to 10 years.”

Gates added that, while there’s value in funding to curb
global climate change, it ought not come at the expense of funds for fighting
disease. “Climate change is very important, it is an issue money should go
to,” he told the BBC. “It just shouldn’t come out of health aid budgets.”
