He’ll start building out the capability for the seven most promising, eventually funding the two most promising of that group.

Basically guaranteeing to waste billions but saving vital months. Because if you wait until you know which are the best candidates before preparing manufacturing you’ll waste precious time.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

I suspect his stewardship will be far more effective than the "leadership" of the 39 year old son-in-law-in-chief whose slot in college was bought.

Trading money for time and therefore many lives, smart and compassionate.

Way better than spending billions on the border wall.

Seen on twitter:

“If only we had taxed away Bill Gates' wealth, then instead of having 7 vaccine factories ready to go whenever we figure out which vaccine is most effective, we could have... *checks notes* ...enforced the ban on coronavirus testing for an extra week.“

Obviously the last part is hyperbole but the point is quite real. It isn’t the case that the government would be doing this if only they had taxed away Gate’s money.

Gates’s use of his (and Buffett’s) money has been far more useful to humanity than a marginal $50B would have been to the US treasury.
