I don't assume Feeney has a negative opinion of Gates, everything he has said publicly has been supportive of Gates.

Given Gates central role in driving for global pandemic vaccines, I wonder what Feeney thinks of that huge global and very public project. The Ft Gates oped link above is from today, I just read it before opening HN and seeing the Forbes Feeney post.



Are you suggesting that Feeney thinks less of it because it's public giving? I just get the impression that that's Feeney's style, not that he thinks other philanthropists need to act that way.


i am not making any suggestions, I am wondering what Feeney, who has quietly donated huge sums with no fanfare or hype (example: SF UCSF children's hospital, see elsewhere in these comments, is named the Benioff children's hospital despite the fact Feeney donated more than Benioff for the hospital). I have no idea what Feeney makes of Gates in 2020 but I'd love to know. No insinuations, me projecting what I think he thinks...
