A Pair Of Tech Titans Are Completely Sick Of The Flu
- 6 years ago
Microsoft's Bill Gates and Google's Larry Page want to see a universal flu vaccine.
Gates prepared a simulation showing how influenza could kill 30 million people in six months.
To light a fire under researchers, they've pledged to give $12 million dollars for the cause.
Gates and Page know $12m is a drop in the bucket, as most say it'll cost $1bn.
Still, Gates says teams with promising results will be eligible for additional funding.
