Bill Gates thinks all vaccines will work
Hard-headed billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates believes “almost all” the Covid-19 vaccines will work and work well, he said in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria. Already, vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have shown to be effective in early company data, and Gates said he expects vaccines from AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson and Novavax to have similar success soon. Monday morning, AstraZeneca announced that its vaccine has been 90 percent effective in the final trial stages. “I’m optimistic that by February, it’s very likely they’ll all prove very efficacious and safe,” he said. Gates spoke with CNN on Friday, a day before more than 177,000 people tested positive for the virus and about 1,400 people died, according to Johns Hopkins University.
