Gael Fashingbauer Cooper from cnet said that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates funds medical research and vaccine programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and has often spoken out about his belief in the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. On Friday, it was his turn to get one. Gates tweeted a photo of himself — eyeglasses off, sleeve rolled up — receiving the first of his two coronavirus shots. He thanked those who helped develop and distribute the vaccine and noted that he’s feeling fine.
“One of the benefits of being 65 is that I’m eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine,” Gates wrote. “I got my first dose this week, and I feel great. Thank you to all of the scientists, trial participants, regulators and frontline healthcare workers who got us to this point.”
