Bill Gates, of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, actively promotes male circumcision as HIV prevention,[1] going as far as traveling to Africa to promote it.[2] Bill was convinced to promote circumcision by Bertran Auvert.[3] He teamed up with Bill Clinton to praise President George W. Bush's President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).[4][5][6]

Early life

Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on 28 October 1955. He was one of three children of Mary Maxwell and William H. Gates, Sr., a prominent lawyer. His circumcision status has never been revealed, but having been born into wealth at the height of the American circumcision craze, it is nearly 100 percent certain that he was circumcised as an infant. This is further confirmed by his adult behavior later in life.

Media funding & objectivity

According to a report in the Seattle Times, the Gates Foundation has become a force in journalism, and contributes millions of dollars to nonprofit and for-profit media to help cover issues of interest to the foundation. Not just MSNBC, but also ABC, PBS, and Public Radio, as well as others. Many worry that its growing support of media organizations blur the line between journalism and advocacy. [7]

Bill commenced a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, in 2011.
