  Can you expand on that? I don't like him but AFAIK most of the criticism come from conspirationists.

    Yes, of course. I made a pretty books statement with no support. My friends who work in public health research despise the foundation because they are absolute gatekeepers on what can and cannot be funded. If you are trying to do research that is not part of the foundations priorities, good luck, they say. The Foundation is essentially only accountable to themselves and can have global impacts on health research distribution. A recent example is that their whims affected the speed and distribution of COVID vaccines. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/14/global-covid-pandemic-response-bill-gates-partners-00053969 https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/14/global-covid-pandem...
