Bill Gates: Trump admin meddling with FDA caused 'very unfortunate' setback

Yahoo Finance Video

Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, talks to Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer about the Trump administrations interference and applied pressure to the FDA for creating a COVID-19 vaccine.
