Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is putting funds towards the fight against the coronavirus.
He is directing his money through his foundation towards the development of a vaccine, putting money behind factories for seven of the most promising vaccines being worked on.
“Of all the vaccine constructs, with the seven most promising of those, even though we’ll end up picking at most two of them, we’re going to fund factories for all seven of them,” he said in an interview with The Daily Show.
