Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, said on two occasions
he was asked by the United States president, Donald
Trump, if HIV and HPV were the same
- Gates said the first time the president asked him the
question was in December 2016 and the second time
was in March 2017
Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft founder,
Bill Gate, has revealed that the United States
president, Donald Trump, didn't know the
difference between human immune deficiency
virus (HIV) and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Gates said that President Trump had asked him
twice if HIV and HPV were the same thing,
adding that the first time he asked was at Trump
Tower in December 2016 and the second time
was in March 2017, USA Today reports.
adegokblog .com notes that the Microsoft founder said:
"Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference
between HIV and HPV. So, I was able to explain that those
are rarely confused with each other."
He also described a time he saw the president
speaking with his 22-year-old daughter, Jennifer
Gates.
Gates said: "And then, like 20 minutes later, he flew in in
a helicopter to the same place. So, clearly he had been
driven away, but he wanted to make a grand entrance in a
helicopter. When I first talked to him, it was actually kind
of scary how much he knew about my daughter's
appearance. Melinda didn't like that too well."
He also said Donald Trump had asked him if
vaccines were bad for consumption, that he was
exploring forming a commission to look into the
"ill effects of vaccines".
Gates added: "I said, 'No, that's a dead end. That would
be a bad thing. Don't do that."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, HIV is different from HPV. The virus
is the most common STD. It has infected 79
million Americans. In most cases, people with
HPV do not have health problems, but the virus
can cause cancer.
Meanwhile, adegokblog .com previously reported that the
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would pay off
Nigeria’s $76 million debt to Japan, over a 20-
year period, beginning in 2018.
The money was borrowed from the Asian
country in 2014, to be used to tackle the polio
disease.
As a result of the loan, Nigeria recorded no new
case of the disease in 2017; a major improvement
from 2012 when the country had over half of all
polio cases worldwide.
Gates had also acknowledged the significant
strides made towards eradicating the disease
globally.
