The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s recent contribution is the largest so far, after it provided $ 70 million last November, which raises the foundation’s total commitment to respond to the pandemic that is sweeping the world to $ 1.75 billion.


In an interview with the "Today Show" on "NBC" last week, Gates warned of "a dark winter due to Covid-19", and called for preparing for "a dark few months."


He stressed the need for citizens to contribute to support efforts to combat the epidemic, by wearing face masks, maintaining social distancing, and avoiding gatherings.


In an important announcement that comes about a month before his departure from the White House, the outgoing US President Donald Trump revealed, on Friday, that the first vaccinations against Covid-19 will begin "in less than 24 hours" in the United States, after the US Medicines Agency approved a vaccine it manufactures. Pfizer and Biontech.


Trump said on Twitter: "We have already started sending the vaccine to all states," adding, "The first vaccinations will take place in less than 24 hours."

And he indicated that the United States produced "a vaccine for the Corona virus in only 9 months," describing it as if "the American people achieved a medical miracle."


He pointed out that the elderly and workers in the front lines of the medical field will receive the vaccine first, expecting it to contribute to reducing the number of injuries and deaths.


He continued, "Pfizer gave us two billion dollars to produce 100 million doses of the vaccine, with the possibility of producing 500 million additional doses."


He stressed that the vaccines "will be free for American citizens," noting that no side effects were recorded in the clinical trials of the vaccine.
