LONG BEACH, California (AFP) – Microsoft founder turned disease-battling philanthropist Bill Gates loosed mosquitoes at an elite Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) Conference to make a point about the deadly sting of malaria.
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Malaria is spread by mosquitoes," Gates said </span>while opening a jar onstage at a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.
<span style="font-weight: bold">"I brought some. Here I'll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected."</span>
Gates waited a minute or so before assuring the audience the liberated insects were malaria-free.
TED curator Chris Anderson fired back at the legendary computer software maker, joking that the headline for the video of his talk to be posted online at Ted.com would be "Gates releases more bugs into the world."
As he has in travels on behalf of his eponymous charitable foundation, Gates detailed the strides made in dealing with malaria in affluent countries and the need to fight the disease in impoverished nations.
