Gotta give Gates some credit; he's been spearheading medical philanthropy in Africa for a decade or two

Uhh, idk I know he helped save many lives by funding malaria shots and all that, but his foundation is directly responsible for creating a massive polio epidemic in west africa due to their use of cheap oral vaccines. Those have live virus cells in them, not inert ones shots have. Basically it infects a small portion of the population and make the virus immune to the vaccine, and polio is now more rampant than ever in Africa, all thanks to mister gates.

That's not entirely true, the reason it spreads isn't because the virus is immune to the vaccine, the virus is the vaccine, it just spreads to people who aren't vaccinated.
