Okay I take that as you did not read the article, but only the misleading title, if you claim that Bill and Melinda saved 122m infants…
The article says that infant deaths (0-5yo) have halved from 1990 to 2015. From 1990 to 2000 the number already gone from 12 million down to around 9.5 million yearly. This is when Bill and Melinda Foundation was founded and they started pouring money on vaccinations which is good of course.
So yes, they’ve certainly done a part in reducing infant death rates, but they’re only a small part of it. And most of the money invested wasn’t even theirs, but donation from Warren Buffet who actually donated away most of his wealth.

Some people would say that he has given negative 130 billion, or whatever his net worth is right now
I wouldn’t go that extreme, but still think he has had net negative effect in the world
