> Now he uses that money to buy himself a favorable place in the history

I agree

>doing things that don't help but look good

I disagree, they seem to do a lot for vaccinations



Yes, it looks good. They spend a lot of money.

But, if you look at all the countries that have successfully won the fight against malaria (many Latin American countries, southern US, southern EU, etc): it wasn't because of vaccines but because of good public administration.

Anyway, sure it's good that money goes to vaccines research. But so far it only looks good. They also spend money on other areas.
