Last: This must be a nuanced conversation. Because the conspiracy theories about Gates and the vaccine are bunk. False. B.S. But, as the reporters here note, they spread in an environment in which people don't know what the real facts are. So more journalism like this, please. — PolitiTweet.org

Effectiveness is no alibi for illegitimacy. Good outcomes are no alibi for arbitrary, capricious rule. Getting it done is no alibi for how you went about doing it. Giving people what they need is no alibi for ignoring their voices. — PolitiTweet.org

The queen of England can keep her country stable and free for decades. I still oppose monarchy. The government of China can lift hundreds of millions out of poverty. I still oppose authoritarianism. Bill Gates can do genuine good on public health. And I still oppose plutocracy. — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of my critique of big philanthropy is about how the money was made, and the hurting society with one hand and giving back with another. But this is different. Even without a monopoly in his past, even without any harm, this is too much power for an unelected human being. — PolitiTweet.org

If we've gotten to a place where we feel, You know, democracy is meh, doesn't work, let whoever is smart and has money and ideas get in there and try stuff, and sure, they can govern me privately, well, OK. But let's make sure we're actually choosing that. Because I'm not there. — PolitiTweet.org

If given a choice between having an ineffective president and a highly effective king, most of us, I think, would still go with ineffective president. It matters who gets to make decisions with public consequences, and what process is employed to select them. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Gates' defenders will point to his effectiveness and intelligence and real knowledge. But process matters. There are many brilliant people who would love the kind of access Gates had to Fauci and who never got it. So why does making money in software, through a monopoly, buy it? — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
The long sweep of this telling of the story is helpful, because it raises a basic question: Why should making money through a monopoly that the government found illegal entitle you to have a private channel to Dr. Fauci to find out, and shape, what the government is doing? — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@mega2e @nkulish @nytimes This story will provide ammunition to both critics and admirers of Gates. But it makes clear how many philanthropic good works, even at their best, are inseparable from reputation laundering, the private usurping of properly public functions, and unaccountable shadow lobbying. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
How Bill Gates became the unelected international president of vaccination. Bravo to @mega2e and @nkulish for this nuanced, deep reporting, and to the @nytimes for bringing mega-philanthropy the journalistic scrutiny it has long needed and done without. https://t.co/lW15tyJXX6 — PolitiTweet.org

My point isn't economic but cultural. Giving everyone a check will create a certain national memory. It will shape a view of government. Sure, you can save money by parsing who gets a check, but you change the experience. It becomes another, milquetoastier kind of thing. — PolitiTweet.org

These debates are often framed as being between progressives and moderates. But they also pit universal policies anyone can grasp in two seconds against policies that require a calculator, a ruler, graph paper, and a bucket to make sense of. Sweeping simplicity is good, actually. — PolitiTweet.org
