-The Gates Foundation is Bill Gates philanthro-capitalism at its apex and his ambition behind a facade of public good. As Bill states in the [[bill_melinda_gates_foundation#who_is_bill_gates_a_documentary|Corbett Series]], his investments in vaccines for the developing world yield a twenty to one return and that's years before the pandemic enabled his full leverage.
+The **Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation** is an American private foundation based in [[united_states:washington:Seattle]], [[united_states:Washington]].
