Bill Gates sides with Donald Trump and says schools SHOULD reopen in the fall because 'the benefits of in-person learning outweigh the costs' for children

Bill Gates has sided with President Donald Trump in arguing for the reopening of schools in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, saying the 'benefits outweigh the costs for younger students.'

The Microsoft founder, 64, rallied for schools to open in an interview with CNBC’sSquawk Box on Tuesday.

'I’m a big believer that for young children, the benefits in almost every location — particularly if you can protect the teachers well — the benefits outweigh the costs,' he said.

The second wave will be 'seeded' in the schools in late Sept. and Oct. And then Gates will be screaming "Vaccine! Vaccine! Everyone has to be vaccinated.Vaccinate the whole World!"

Then so does business staying open. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If covid is so bad and serious, which who knows cause it changes daily, then why can we risk kids and teachers? This mix message of information is why it is so hard to take it seriously.

9:50, The only thing I take seriously is how out of touch with reality government is and the tyranny they're trying to crush us with.

Kids can’t pass it that information has not changed since it started. 99.8 percent survival rate that is higher then most knee replacements. Teachers listen to the doctors and scientists who are treating COVID patients. Go to your doc and get the malaria drug. Do not listen to millionaire talking heads on tv that want to scare you. Talking heads are living great lives and making 100k per day. Talk to your doctor.

Kids can pass it. Where is your data from. Don't be a sheep. It doesn't make since. People even kids have long lasting heart issues. I'm all for keeping the economy open. But saying covid isn't real is a major issue. It is real even if it is a bio weapon. Saying it is fake will be the end to conservatives. This is a bio weapon. It is real and it is killing people.

Is Bill Gates a Dr. now? He seems to think so.
