I'm going to add to this, because I believe it's a significant piece. 1) In 2014, Bill Gates funded Durham-based Chimerix’s drug brincidofovir to allegedly treat Ebola. The trial was funded by the Wellcome Trust and led by Oxford University. The FDA authorized the study. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article10135910.html 2) On June 4, 2021, the FDA approved Chimerix's Tembexa (brincidofovir) to treat Smallpox. Tembexa received priority review and fast track to expedite it. Small pox was eradicated in 1980 but they are concerned about its use as a "bioweapon." https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/fda-approves-drug-treat-smallpox 3) Here is Chimerix's press release and breakdown of Tembexa (brand name): https://ir.chimerix.com/news-releases/news-release-details/chimerix-receives-us-food-and-drug-administration-approval
