Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes
#1
Microsoft founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates released a glass full of mosquitoes at an elite Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference to make a point about the deadly sting of malaria. 'Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,' Gates said while opening a jar on stage at a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars. 'I brought some.

that is a very unusual behaviour from his part. I can imagine how the audience felt at that moment - fear surrounded them. The article states Bill later assured the audience that the mosquitoes are malaria-free, but I am sure later everybody went to doctor to check their health

Bill Gates is a practical man. Probably when preparing for this meeting, he thought: "Ahh... will it make sense to explain them all the stuff about maleria?" He considered it more efficient to impose a couple of moments filled with fear. And it worked.

I can't stand insects... I would fall into swoon if I saw this. He said that none of the mosquitos were maleria-infected, but, is it possible to 100% check each of them? What if somebody got infected? Legal suits staking at billions would rise immediately.

don't worry Helen, Bill has enough financial power to control that these mosquitoes were malaria-free. It's a good things that Bill Gates is not sponsoring actions against poisonous snakes Confusedhock:

Bill Gates know exactly how to influence people's consciousness. Plainly talking to them about the effects of maleria is useless. Non of us can realize the threat of this danger. So what Bill did, was an effective marketing act.
