Bill Gates wants to stop cow farts with, of course, vaccines. He should be tied down and 10,000 cows should fart in his general direction. From Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. at childrenshealthdefense.org:
A Boston-based ag-biotech startup recently raised $26.5 million to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions” via the development of a “methane vaccine.” Breakthrough Energy Ventures, founded by Gates, led the financing round.
Bill Gates has long been a proponent of vaccines in general and more recently, mRNA vaccine technology.
Now, he may have his sights set on developing a vaccine to combat climate change by targeting the methane emissions of livestock.
ArkeaBio, a Boston-based ag-biotech startup, recently raised $26.5 million in a Series A financing round to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions” via the development of a “methane vaccine,” the company announced in a May 8 press release.
Breakthrough Energy Ventures, founded by Gates and which first invested in ArkeaBio in 2022, led the financing round.
The company said:
“ArkeaBio’s vaccine will provide an innovative, cost-effective, and scalable solution to reduce the world’s livestock methane emissions, which currently generate the equivalent of 3 Billion Tonnes of CO2 annually and represent 6% of annual Greenhouse gas emissions.”
ArkeaBio claims its “vaccination-based approach allows for much-needed decarbonization of global meat and dairy products across multiple geographies, supporting greater sustainability in agriculture.”
Other investors in the recently completed financing round include The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, AgriZeroNZ — a “partnership between the New Zealand government and major agribusinesses” — Rabo Ventures, Overview Capital and The51 Food & AgTech Fund.
“The funds raised in this Series A financing will play a pivotal role in expanding the research, development and deployment of the vaccine, including large-scale field trials and engagement along the supply chain,” ArkeaBio said in its press release.
Bill Gates belongs in a f*cking loony-bin!
Fam was watching a movie where the main character had to run through the middle of the cattle pen as they all farted, the Seinfield Pop Tart movie, I think.
It was a battle of milk and cereal makers.
Will there ever be a billionaire who isn’t a misanthrope?
Rhetorical is fun!
I have that pie to the face of Gill Bates video somewhere in the Hall Of Archives.
Hat tip to the thrower.
