Bill Gates To Nigeria: Wait For GAVI COVID-19 Vaccines by lalasticlala(m): 3:31pm On Jan 27, 2021
American Philanthropist, Bill Gates, has advised the Nigerian government against diverting its limited health fund into trying to pay a high price for COVID-19 vaccines.

Gates gave the advice on Tuesday night during a virtual press conference ahead of the launch of the 2021 Bill and Melinda Gates Annual Letters.

He said waiting for the GAVI vaccines would be the best thing for Nigeria, and investing proposed vaccine funds into other health-related areas would assist to deepen vaccine coverage and save lives.

Gavi is a global Vaccine Alliance that brings together public and private sectors, creating equal access to new and underused vaccines for children living in the world’s poorest countries.

Gavi is co-leading COVAX, the vaccines pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator. This involves coordinating the COVAX Facility, a global risk-sharing mechanism for pooled procurement and equitable distribution of eventual COVID-19 vaccines.

Mr Faisal Shuaib, Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, had said Nigeria aimed to vaccinate 70 per cent of its population to stop transmission of COVID-19.

Shuaib said about 40 per cent of the population would be vaccinated against COVID-19 in 2021, the remaining 30 per cent before the end of 2022.

The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, had said the Federal Government needed about N400 billion to vaccinate 70 per cent of Nigeria’s 211 million population.

“The key is that Nigeria is still eligible (for GAVI Vaccinee), and so, for a lot of those vaccines, they will come through the GAVI facility that we’ve raised money for,” Gates said.

Gates stressed that the impact of investing funds into the health system, particularly the primary health care system, would be very high in terms of saving children’s lives.

“I’m an advocate for the government to have more resources and prioritise health. Obviously I’m not a voter in Nigeria, so Nigeria can decide that independently.

“So my advice is that the primary health care system is what’s super important and that with those finite resources, you have to prioritise expenditure.

“And in that case, waiting for the GAVI vaccines would be the best thing,”
he said.

According to him, the deaths from the deficits of primary health care were dramatically higher every year than the total deaths going on in Africa from the pandemic.

“So I hope it causes everyone in society to look at these health issues.

“There should be close to 100 per cent coverage of all the vaccines and you need to have those very functional primary health care systems because the number of lives you can save is absolutely huge,” he said. (NAN)

Arrrrrrrh

Any body that takes this man's vaccine at his own peril. I have a video where some people where saying some nastic thing. They are whites,

Let me write what they said.

White man 1: Attention using synthetic molecule which is by design are cancer aids.

(Another white man cutting in)

White man 2: For the purpose of sterilization in population control. There is too many people in the planets we need to get rid of, in the words of BILL GATE, atleast 3 billion people need to die. So we will just start up in Africa we will start doing our research there. And we will eliminate most of the Africans because they are worthless, they are not part of this world economy, so they have thier rights taken away, and they are suppressed.


Be very careful with this bill gate guy, it's true he help Africa before and Nigeria. But before a person can poison you he must have make you feel at home and relaxed. And that is what has blind fold most of us


Am not taking any vaccine, I don't have covid 19. That's just the truth!

Modified !!

The fact I say my opinion doesn't mean I force you too follow it. Nairaland is full with people who take drugs for another person's headache. Everybody is entitled to their opinion !

They don't know that the man who is being advised is still the man acting on his free will. He decide weather to take it or not.

Nigeria is not a poor country, the problem is that we have a bunch of greedy politicians.
They will heed to this advice just to embezzle the funds mapped out for covid-19 vaccine.

He's saying this as though the Nigerian government cares about her citizens.
The only thing they are good at is enriching themselves. They can as well go ahead and procure vaccines for themselves and families.

But on a second thought Bill might actually want the Nigerian government to stall a little to confirm their predictions on people dying on the street.

GAVI? More like COVID!

Even in America, over 40% of the population have rejected the vaccines.

Thanks oga Gates, but no, thanks.

According to him, the deaths from the deficits of primary health care were dramatically higher every year than the total deaths going on in Africa from the pandemic.
sad

Malaria has killed more people in Nigeria in the past 1 month than COVID19 in the last 1 year.

He's probably trying to discourage looting by the Nigerian government.
Or, he wants more deaths from Nigeria, since he's surprised we weren't affected the way he imagined it would be.

Just guessing... What do I know?

Thank you Bill Gates. I hope the government of Nigeria listens, that's if they've not already looted the fund budgeted for it.

Why exactly has Bill Gates been carrying this Covid matter on his head? He's not a health minister, neither is he an authority on health matters...

It begins to make one wonder and ask questions...

with the Vaccine covid patients are still dying in America, America couldn't save more than buried 400,000 Americans


even visiting hospitals when the vaccine arrive will be dangerous as they can input it in any of the injection
