This is a sad day. Reversing Roe v. Wade is an unjust and unacceptable setback. And it puts women’s lives at risk, especially the most disadvantaged.

Through renewed investments in malaria and NTDs, we can help end these endemic diseases, and prevent future pandemics. https://t.co/Aw9fIJHr2H

Daniel Boakye of @TheENDFund has spent 45 years working on solutions for neglected tropical diseases, including river blindness. As he says, “We have the tools we need. The priority now is to deploy them in the right way to get to elimination.” https://t.co/Mzdh5sOoCr

When most people think about what produces greenhouse gas emissions, they think about cars and electricity. But they add up to only about one third of the total. Clean hydrogen could help eliminate the rest: https://t.co/CtB8gnMB2Z

The Power by @NaomiAllthenews raises timely questions about the way people are connected by gender, family, community, and country. https://t.co/N0CLt6p8vK

I was recently asked what advice I would give to young people who want to make a positive impact on the world.

What a great meeting with WA’s teacher of the year, Jared Koepp. He taught me a lot about the challenges that Native students face.

I guess we finally ran out of microchips. https://t.co/dptfYIGl4k

Yesterday, I had a chance to spend the day focusing on climate – and the innovations that can prevent the very worst effects of climate change.

I’m grateful for Warren’s gifts to support the foundation’s work and for our many years of friendship. When he decided in 2006 to make these gifts, it moved me to tears. It still does. https://t.co/JVfF4aUCZv

The fact is, we’ve never been closer to ending polio. The huge progress Pakistan has made in the fight against polio is a reminder for why the world cannot lose sight of this goal. https://t.co/TRobY770WZ

It really is mind-blowing how quickly safe, effective COVID-19 vaccines were made: https://t.co/al6j8osekU

"The world has an opportunity to end polio in the next five years so that no child will have to suffer as I do from a disease that is entirely preventable.” @mindadentler https://t.co/fHf449a7Jk

I recently published a list of books you might want to read this summer. Each of the writers took a meaty subject and made it compelling without sacrificing any complexity: https://t.co/8fDkR0IWaj

“If COVID-19 ends up being the last pandemic, it will be because we made the world a much more equitable place.” https://t.co/JwsmUxWo82

To prevent future pandemics, @BillGates says we must invest in 3 things *now*: 1. Disease monitoring 2. Research and development 3. Health systems Watch his full talk to learn more: https://t.co/NiVKDjAiln

To make COVID-19 #TheLastPandemic, We need investments in: ✔️ Disease Monitoring ✔️ Research & Development ✔️ Health Systems -@BillGates #TED2022 https://t.co/gfbPDZCjkX

Ever wonder whether foundation partners give honest feedback to leaders like @MelindaGates? Watch our newest episode of The Working Dinner series and see for yourself.

I’ve spent my life working in agriculture, so when I think beyond the humanitarian toll I’m seeing in Ukraine, my focus always finds its way to one of the most fundamental human needs: food. https://t.co/JGfxZY9U3K

@BillGates @gavi @WHO @CDCgov @trvrb @DrTedros We definitely can. Thanks for your time & insights & let's continue the good fight to improve health & well-being for those living across the world.💪We're all interconnected & in this together.

@BillGates @gavi @WHO @CDCgov Final question- what everyone wants to know -> how and when will the pandemic be over? Does omicron show that we can ‘live with COVID’? Or are other dangerous variants around the corner in 2022?

@BillGates @gavi @WHO @CDCgov So tough question: where do you think SARS-CoV-2 came from? What data do you want to see? And is this information important to preventing future spillovers & pandemics?

@BillGates @gavi @WHO @CDCgov I'd make a joke but would cause a storm😆. Turning to the Gates Foundation's mission, what do you see as the biggest challenges to development in poor countries now? Have we gone backwards on girls' education & the child survival revolution?

@BillGates @gavi One major problem has been online misinformation on Facebook & other platforms around vaccines, masks and other interventions- how do we deal with this challenge? When expertise is neglected and conspiracy theories are spread as if they are truth?

@BillGates @gavi I'm optimistic about the '100 day challenge'- the idea of sequencing a new genome to developing diagnostics, therapeutics and effective vaccines- and getting them out to people. But requires leadership, planning & foresight. Now is the window to prepare.#

@BillGates @gavi Looking back on 2020/21 (and given you warned of a respiratory pandemic for years before), what do you think is the biggest mistake most countries (with resources) made in responding?

@BillGates There's been a lot of discussion on responsibility of pharma companies like Pfizer/Moderna for access. What is the role of these companies in ensuring pricing and availability esp in low and middle income contexts?

@BillGates Agree 100%- next gen vaccines with sterilising immunity. 2nd question: What are the current challenges in reaching global vaccination access? What are the obstacles?

To kick-off the conversation with @BillGates, what scientific or tech breakthrough would make the biggest difference now to ending the COVID pandemic?
