Gates Pledges $900 Million for TB Research:
"'This is a very tough disease,' said Gates, the Microsoft Corp. chairman and co-founder. 'It is going to take all of us _ private sector, the pharmaceutical companies, philanthropy and governments in countries that have the disease _ to participate as well.'"
This is a man on a mission and if he is as successful as he has been with Microsoft, the world can start clapping its hands. He's been into Africa to deliver other vaccines and now he wants to work on eradicating TB. He has pots of money, bucketloads of it...but now he is a growing a big heart and showing some real leadership. Building an massive company is one thing, but being the person to tackle world problems which have plagued us forever is someone who is really prepared to take on a challenge. Talk about skills testing.
