Philanthropist Bill Gates, who has contributed millions of dollars to the research and development of a COVID-19 vaccine, said Thursday that he is "very confident" in the safety and efficacy of a Food and Drug Administration-approved immunization.

The remarks, made during an appearance on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah," came before Pfizer and BioNTech announced on Friday that they had officially applied for emergency use authorization for their vaccine candidate, which final data revealed to be 95 percent effective against the virus.

"It's clear that the FDA went through the professional staff there, all the things that they are supposed to, likewise Pfizer, there's even an external committee that will weigh in just to make absolutely sure that the political desire to get this quickly did not infect the efficacy and safety review," Gates said Thursday, when asked about the doubts surrounding the vaccine.

"I feel very confident because the people involved are really doing their job well," Gates added.

1. Hoo boy. The right wing already believes any vaccine is a Bill Gates plot to implant microchips in

us. This will only set them off more.

2. God, you're right. I hadn't thought of that.

Gates is a major target for Alex Jones and that group.

They've taken something he said out of context and argued he intentionally sterilized women in Africa, and other things too involving "population control."

3. The nut jobs may not get the vaccine?

Oh well.

4. Not a scientist, but I'd trust his word completely. As the OP says,

he's been intensely involved in fighting the Republican holocaust.
