THIS IS HOW IT STARTED DURING THE COLONIAL DAYS. MY PEOPLE WAKE UP THIS IS TO THROW DUST IN YOUR EYES. MOST OF THESE IMUNIZATION DRUGS HAS REALLY BAD SIDE EFFECTS. IF WE DO NOT THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, OUR GENERATIONS ARE GOING TO BE DEPOPULIZED BY THESE WHITEMAN EVIL MISSION AND THEY WILL TAKE OVER OUR NATION AND CONTINENT AS A WHOLE. ALL THESE PEOPLE STARTED COMING WHEN THEY REALIZED WE HAVE DISCORVERED OUR OIL. BELIEVE ME A BUSSINES MAN LIKE BILL GATES IS THERE FOR SELF INTEREST AND NOT FOR THE NATION AS HE IS PORTRAYING IT.

It is true, some immunizations have bad effects. However some have helped stamp out disease. All people everywhere need to study for themselves to know which are helpful and which are harmful. I wouldn't worry about a quick trip by a concerned human being for others, as a threat to our Independence though.

We will get further in life if we believe in ourselves. Many cures of diseases start from Africa. Educate yourselves Ghanaians! The information is now available more than ever -and is free on the internet! Has anyone even asked to see if his immunisation programme has taken place in the WEST? NO...they always start these programmes in Africa- Wake Up people! Just because Bill Gates is White and has money does not make him a doctor or God. He is an Investor.

Good work, Mr Gates. It is Ghana's continuing responsibility to ensure that the vaccination programme is effective, and that we do not allow it to be disrupted by people whose priority is not the well being of kids.

The government needs to do more to reciprocate the good guesture of Mr.Gates for our children. If monnies meant for health delivery are misused no international philanthropist will take us serious. Today we are hailling Bill Gates for his excellent efforts in promoting the execution of the immunisation programme successfully as a result of good efforts of some past leaders of Ghana. The present regime should put good policies in place to sustain the programme.

Mr Gates thanks for your kind gesture, but tell our leaders that those monies you have been giving to Africa will not be forever they should find means of funding this vaccinations locally.

After helping you to eradicate vaccine preventable diseases, you want him to eradicate malaria. Tell the government to close the gutters in Accra, improve sanitation and the malaria will go. Do not be greedy.

In the Last 5 years the west has been talking about how Africa's population is getting too big and that something needs to done.

How do you people think AIDS became such a big problem in Africa.

Through so called immunization programs.

Why would a race of human who have hated black people from time in memoral all of the sudden want to help us.

Live in the west and you will see how racist they are.

The worlds most evil race (white) does not do good things for no reason.

Be cautious

Bill gates's visit in Ghana is good news but the consequences are not clear.Bill gates is now seeking a breakthrough in healthcare.He has spent more than 10% of his wealth on medical research laboratories.Why has Bill Gates chosen Ghana as a habitat for launching his drugs?Aren't we aware of the consequences of experimenting on drugs?This man is really exploiting us.Why not help us expand our medical facilities rather than making us consume unknown drugs?That's why Ghana germs are becoming so resistant to drugs.Common malaria parasite(plasmodium)has become so stuborn to fight.l believe the gov't will consider what we're risking in order to make the best out of this visit.lf we get our basic needs such as food,shelter and power,we won't even demand drugs.

WHY IS MR. GATES COMING TO GHANA?
BECAUSE HE IS A PRACTICAL MAN. SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT US, SOME LAUDABLE, OTHERS UNPALATABLE, SO SEEING IS BELIEVING.
A PRACTICAL MAN, AS HE IS, WILL NOT SIT BACK AND READ WHAT THEY WANT HIM TO HEAR; SO AS HE SAID HE WANTS TO TESTIFY, COME 24 - 25 APRIL, THAT HE HAS SEEN AND HAS BELIEVED WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN GHANA: MOST IMPORTANTLY HE HAS NOT THROWN AWAY GOOD MONEY.
I PRAY AND HOPE DR. ANTWI - AGYEI AND HIS TEAM RISE UP TO THE OCCASION. GOOD LUCK TO GHANA.

This is one of the things NPP people do not want to hear. If we had read that he has condemned Ghana, yould have notice the huge resonance.

They want the international community to boycott Ghana and have already demonstrated in major cities in US, hoping to draw attention. I read they are going on Aluta in the German City of Cologne on Easter Monday, forinstance.

But what these idiots fail to see is that people in the West do not need demonstrations to in Washington to get info about Ghana. they get the real situation from their on correspondence, missions, spies and many other sources.

Mr. Gates how can you immunise people who donot understand what is being done to them. The medical system is in shambles. If your aim is to prevent diseases then help train the ill-trained Doctors and other presonnel. It seems your real aim is to keep more people alive to buy your computers. Ghana is the wrong place for you to demonsrate that when she has failing school system. Mr. Bill Gates, Paterson N. J. can use your help right here instead of helping Ghana"s corruption.

Several years ago, I used to work with an affable English man. He was a good work colleague. He would defend me in absentia. One day, there was an article about some phylanthropist who had designed some glasses to combat cataract (or another such eye trouble). The gentleman told me; Look how nice! The first samples of these new invention are being sent to Ghana of all places! So I retorted; I bet there are more blind people in England than in Ghana. I would have expected that the samples were first tried in the UK so that any side effects would be found and rectified before they sent them to Ghana to worsen our situation. This man never talked to me for the next four months because he claimed; You Ghanaians are so ungrateful!
Bill, tell us again what your interest in this project is.

Only to find the insanitary conditions that serve as breeding grounds for mosquitos still prevalent. And we cannot even see sense to use our numerous FM stations to organise voluntary community exercises to clean up our villages, towns and cities. All we do is insult each other and engage in false preaching on the air waves.
