His part was paying experts who know how to deal with infectious diseases to eradicate polio. Don't get me wrong, he's an awesome person, and we should all be thankful to him for helping. But I agree with GP that we need more democratic engagement and less opinions from billionaires. It just so happens that we think Bill Gates is a good person and listening to him due to his billions ends up being good. This is clearly not always the case, so taking someone's opinion just because they're immensely rich is a slippery slope. EDIT: As a disclaimer, I agree with him on this, we need a national shut down.
