Bill Gates Pushes for More Social Media Fact-Checking: 'Misinformation Cost Over a Million Lives'

Bill Gates on the need for social media "fact-checkers":

"During the pandemic, the negativity about vaccines, some of which had me being some weird misbehaving actor... was a lot of craziness."

"Over a million people died who should have benefitted from the vaccine."

"And next time... the impact of not getting facts out could be much more dramatic. I mean, you could have a pathogen that was 10 times or 20 times as fatal as Covid was."
