Bill Gates had received the first shot of a Covid vaccine this week, as per a post uploaded to his Twitter account. "One of the benefits of being 65 is that I’m eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine," he wrote. "Thank you to all of the scientists, trial participants, regulators, and frontline healthcare workers who got us to this point," Bill Gates tweeted. Gates said supplies of vaccines via COVAX would be "modest" at first. 'ZERO-SUM'Gates said such pressure was unhelpful, noting that pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, BionTech, AstraZeneca and Moderna all developed COVID-19 vaccines in less than a year.
