Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has invested a staggering $400 million into a scheme to test vaccines on thousands of third-world citizens.
The money, funded via the billionaire’s Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will pay for a phase 3 clinical trial for a tuberculosis (TB) vaccine.
The vaccination experiments will be conducted on 26,000 people at 50 sites in Africa and Southeast Asia over the next four to six years.

Gates committed $400 million to the trial and Wellcome committed an additional $150 million.
Wellcome is the largest funder of medical research in the U.K. and one of the largest in the world.
The trials will test the M72/AS01 vaccine, which was previously funded by Gates.
The vaccine was developed by pharmaceutical giant GSK (formerly GlaxoSmithKline) with partial funding from the Gates Foundation.
Meanwhile, the liberal corporate media has been celebrating the Gates Foundation’s announcement.
Experts reportedly told The Washington Post the news was “huge.”
The Guardian heralded the announcement as “game-changing,” while STAT called it “promising.”
But Brian Hooker, Ph.D., P.E., senior director of science and research for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nonprofit Children’s Health Defense, told The Defender that the planned trials for the TB vaccine raised red flags.
“I’m concerned that they’re planning on conducting the trial in underdeveloped nations,” Hooker said.
“It seems almost prototypical that the underserved have to be guinea pigs for the rest of the world.”
