Bill Gates backs tiny robotic surgeons that operate from inside a patient’s body — RT USA News

Bill Gates has thrown $10 million behind the development of tiny camera-wielding surgical robots that can be placed inside a person’s body through a small incision and controlled by a surgeon anywhere in the world via VR.

The innovative technology uses miniscule robots combined with virtual reality to carry out a groundbreaking new concept for minimally invasive surgery.

And here I\U was believing that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was only working to save Africans from malaria so they could grow up to get & die from AIDS. Unintended consequences file.

Off-Topic:

Are Sundays the days on which you consume your weekly dose of Russian propaganda? What's with the multiple threads having RT articles as their rubrics/references?

I wouldn't ask the above were your commentary about the articles' content expressly pertinent to RT's central goal of abetting the Kremlin's ends rather than merely sharing information, the latter being what non-foreign-agent news reporting is about, but your remarks lack that quality. Your comments would be fine were they based on news content from a source that, unlike a foreign agent, has the rhetorical purpose of merely sharing information.

As I noted elsewhere:​

BTW, RT, the news source you cited, is an agent, proxy of the Kremlin. As such, no matter the nature and extent of existential verity in its articles, literally everything it publishes abets some end the Kremlin has, and the Kremlin serves the interests of only one country, Russia. It's also worth noting that it was the current DoJ that required RT to register as a foreign agent.​

​

Based upon your letters of January 4, 2013, and January 9, 2017, documents you have provided to this office, press reports, and other publicly available information, 1 we have determined that RTTV America, Inc. ("RTTV America") has an obligation to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended, 22 U.S.C. §§ 611-621 (I 995) ("FARA" or the "Act"). RTTV America's obligation to register arises from its political activities in the United States on behalf of RT and TV-Novosti, both foreign principals under the Act and proxies of the Russian Government, and its related work within the United States as a publicity agent and information-service employee ofTV-Novosti.
-- U.S. Dept of Justice, National Security Division, August 17, 2017​

FWIW, the US has its own state-run media outlet, Voice of America.​
