Bill Gates says vaccines decisive for Tokyo Olympics

Tokyo: U.S.A billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates said that the progress of vaccinations will play a decisive role on whether the Tokyo Olympic Games can be held or not.

Mr Gates, the co-founder of U.S. tech giant Microsoft Corp said: “I think in the next few months, we have to look at the progress we make (in distributing vaccines). But you know, I think it’s still possible if things go well.

“If things don’t go well, that would be unfortunate, but you know, we’re doing our best to help those vaccines get approved and get going for the entire world,” he said.
