1/ Months ago, I was asked to be a co-reporter on this story. I declined b/c the #GatesFoundation was a funder, which I knew would make it impossible to rigorously examine Gates's role in Covax. This story is a case study in the perils of Gates-funded journalism. 🧵Read on & RT: 2/ Co-reported by @statnews/@TBIJ, the story amplifies a message that Gates had an extremely small role in the failures of Covax (to send covid vaccines to the global poor). This is misleading. False, really. And it hurts the ability of independent journalists to tell the truth

The rapidly evolving investigation into #BillGates & #MeToo creates serious contradictions w/ #GatesFoundation's woman-forward, equity-focused brand/PR. I don't underestimate Bill Gates, but this is a major existential crisis that could end the #GatesFoundation as we know it. 🧵 The real threat to the #GatesFoundation right now is not the rule of law or institutional dynamics within a private foundation, but rather the court of public opinion
