Bill Gates says Trump didn’t know the difference between HIV and HPV

By Mike Murphy

Published: May 19, 2018 11:33 a.m. ET

In video, Gates says Trump was worried about vaccines’ negative effects

A seemingly bemused Bill Gates described his interactions with President Donald Trump in a video that surfaced Thursday, and the billionaire said he had to explain to the president on two separate occasions that HIV and HPV were different things.

‘Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference between HPV and HIV. So I was able to explain that those were rarely confused with each other.’
Bill Gates

The video of the Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.19% co-founder speaking at a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation event was broadcast Thursday night on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”

Gates said he met with Trump twice, during the transition and again in March 2017, and both times Trump asked him to explain the difference between HIV — the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS — and HPV, or human papilloma virus, a sexually transmitted infection that can cause warts and lead to cancer.

The Gates Foundation has put hundreds of millions of dollars into the effort to fight HIV and AIDS worldwide.

Trump also asked Gates about potential drawbacks to vaccines, and said he had been considering creating a commission to look into their negative effects, Gates recalled at the foundation event. “And I said, ‘No, that’s a dead end. That would be a bad thing. Don’t do that,’ ” Gates told the audience.

Gates said he turned down Trump’s offer to be a White House science adviser, and that he had never met Trump before his election, although he had managed to avoid him at a function during the campaign.

Gates also told a story about once seeing Trump at a horse show in Florida with his daughter, in which Trump apparently drove away only to return aboard a helicopter in order to make a “grand entrance.”

When he finally met Trump after the election, Gates described an uncomfortable conversation with Trump about his daughter Jennifer, now 22. “It was actually kind of scary how much he knew about my daughter’s appearance,” Gates said, as the audience chuckled. “[Gates’s wife] Melinda didn’t like that too well.”

Seeing as Microsoft makes Windows, the people in your example are clearly way smarter than trump. Even you are admitting that he is a total moron. I am impressed.

Bill Gates is a Globalist stooge who stole the D.O.S operating system and made a fortune doing it. He and his crooked Gates Foundation is pushing a eugenics program all around the World. He should shut up and die. He can inject himself with HIV or better. We'll get a green monkey from Africa to ass f&^%k him to death !

A Harvard undergraduate pre-law and computer science dropout scoffing at the medical knowledge of a Wharton School economics graduate. Should we be looking to either for reliable medical information? Should we bring in Bill Nye the Science Guy? (Oops - turns out he's only got an engineering degree!).

Maybe some doctors could study whether specific vaccines have undesirable side effects, rather than pre-law dropouts/now software magnates and undergrad economists/now real estate developers? Just a thought.

For a man who claimed STDs were his vietnam, he sure knows very little about STDs or anything else for that matter.

And for the record, Trump did not dodge vietnam, vietnam dodged him.

The problem is that most homeless people know the difference between AIDS and warts. But not the Donald.

It's not really a problem at all what Trump knows or doesn't know about different diseases - not unless Trump is your doctor! It might be a problem (for Microsoft) if Gates wants to go out of his way tell everyone that he thinks Trump is stupid (so brave - except everyone he knows is doing the same thing). Still a few competition law issues for Microsoft to navigate. If I was a shareholder, I wouldn't want him doing it. It's a complete unforced error - doesn't even have anything to do with Microsoft's business.

I know you don't care if your hero is a moron, but most of the rest of the world is surely concerned about the lack of intellect of the man in control of the largest economy and military of the world. And since it is so important, a man like Gates does the world a favour by reminding us.

I don't care if he doesn't know the difference between the NBA and the NFL, as long as the files he takes action on improve the American economy (and by extension, the Canadian economy).

So somebody who is dumb enough to not know the difference between warts and AIDS is smart enough to run the economy.

Blind Faith.

Its bad enough that when the WH tweets on behalf of Trump they have to include intentional misspelling, otherwise it won't sound like Trump.

Your right. I only went to law school and business school so how could I possibly understand the difference between HIV and HPV.

Without commenting on what you did get out of either education, neither curriculum covered communicable diseases. If you don't remember that, I guess you haven't retained that much from your studies.

However, you do (unintentionally) make a good point. It's a common delusion of lawyers to believe they understand everything correctly, notwithstanding that most in the profession have no background whatsoever (and in many cases were deficient) in science, medicine, art, engineering, etc. It's always helpful to remember that there are people who are experts in these other areas. We should leave research in those areas to such people. The time to assess the persuasiveness of their findings is after they've done the research, not before.

I can virtually guarantee that Bill Gates knows no more about vaccines or communicable diseases than I do, which is not very much. To hear him lecture others on the topic of medical knowledge is laughable hubris.

Yes, I agree. You don't need to know anything about either to run the economy.

Did you read or hear what Gates said? It’s obvious you didn’t, but as usual you don’t let your own ignorance prevent you from posting. Gates was not lecturing anybody. He was passing on some anecdotes about his interactions with Trump. Perhaps unwise given Bone Spur’s incredibly thin skin, but Gates kept going. Pretty funny stuff, you should read it when you have a moment. Oh, what am I saying?.... just continue posting shit without bothering to read about the subject. You’re Bud Plug, after all...
