Comments on: Gates charity boosts funding for malaria vaccine research

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation says it will grant $258 million toward malaria vaccine and drug development efforts.

Kudos to Mr. Gates!

He gets a lot of grief from his detractors, but the truth is he is truly a humanitarian.

Exactly

Unlike many of his peers Gates is using much of his vast fortunes for good. Guys like Larry Ellison and the Walmart family. I'm sure they do some charitable work, but Gates dwarfs them all.

His plan is to die with "only" $3 billion in the bank.

Gates has given lot to the world

Gates is undoubtedly the greatest donar on the technology front and with this new intitative he has proved his worth.

Long live Gates and his nobel cause... and long live Microsoft....

Fighting malaria bugs is a nice thing

It would also be nice if he'd take care of some of the bugs in his
software.

I love it!

The beauty is in the fact that he funds non-celebrity/hollywood diseases as well.

God Bless the Gates Family.

The world needs Gates more than the software industry does!

The Gates Foundation has been doing an amazing job at the third-world countries, pretty much treating charity like a business and making it very successful. The world needs such success-and- result orientedness to make it a better place for all of us!
