This seems to be the actual story behind Apeel: https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-apeel-fruit-produce-safety-sheet-867075775325

If you store and refrigerate it well, fruits and vegetables last a long time -- this isn't needed. If they want to combat an actual, viable problem regarding food in America, there are ways to do that. This feels like virtue signaling from Bill Gates. Rich coastal liberals who have only been around their own kind.

I have no strong opinion of Bill Gates, by the way. He just needs to stop having opinions on things that aren't tech. You don't go to a hairdresser for religious advice, do you?

To have no strong opinion on Bill Gates is to be willfully ignorant.
 
Check this out -- especially the part in which Kenyan Catholic bishops charged him with chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a “tetanus” vaccine campaign similar to what he did in the Philippines, Nicaragua, and Mexico

BILL GATES, the famed founder of Microsoft turned-“philanthropist,” made it clear in the beginning stages of the “pandemic” that the world will not get its life back — until we are all vaccinated.

…activities, like schools… mass gatherings… until you’re widely vaccinated, those may not come back at all.  —Bill Gates, interview with “CBS This Morning”, April 2nd, 2020; lifesitenews.com

But locking down billions of healthy people until they are injected seems bizarre and unethical to many world-renowned scientists. And yet, the mainstream media has given Gates an open and uncritical platform to dictate his public policy across the world. How did Gates gain this unspoken power? Is COVID-19 the existential threat to humanity Gates says it is, thus justifying mass lockdowns, mask mandates, increasing policing powers and suppression of freedom to the point of breaking the global economy? We know what Mr. Gates thinks. But what does the science say? And most importantly, is the normalcy Gates promises really going to return?
 
WHO CONTROLS THE WHO?
Not a few have thought it odd how a computer software developer who never finished college, a man without a background in either science or medicine, is calling the shots around the globe. However, in an article titled “Meet the world’s most powerful doctor: Bill Gates”, Politico notes that he is the second largest donor to the աօʀʟd ɦɛaʟtɦ օʀɢaռiʐatɨօռ (WHO) based in Geneva, Switzerland.^[1]

Some billionaires are satisfied with buying themselves an island. Bill Gates got a United Nations health agency in Geneva. Over the past decade, the world’s richest man has become the աօʀʟd ɦɛaʟtɦ օʀɢaռiʐatɨօռ’s second biggest donor, second only to the United States and just above the United Kingdom … the Gates Foundation has pumped more than $2.4 billion into the WHO since 2000 … This largesse gives him outsized influence over its agenda … The result, say his critics, is that Gates’ priorities have become the WHO’s… Some health advocates fear that because the Gates Foundation’s money comes from investments in big business, it could serve as a Trojan horse for corporate interests to undermine WHO’s role in setting standards and shaping health policies. — Natalie Huet & Carmen Paun, Politico, May 4th, 2017

“Is Gates the real power behind the curtain?”, asks health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola, himself the target of increasing censorship. “When you look back over the past year, it seems Gates has often been the first to announce what the world needs to do to address the pandemic, and then the WHO comes out with an identical message, which is then parroted by world leaders, more or less verbatim.”^[2]
Dr. Astrid Stückelberger, Ph.D, who has worked inside the աօʀʟd ɦɛaʟtɦ օʀɢaռiʐatɨօռ and is president of the WHO-funded Geneva International Network on Ageing, is being hailed as a “whistleblower” for her recent revelations. “Switzerland is the center of a lot of corruption,” says Dr. Stückelberger, referring to what’s happening with the WHO. In a video interview with four German attorneys^[3] investigating international pandemic violations, she points to internal docuмents in the WHO that show, as of 2016, that the health organization gained unprecedented unilateral powers that all member states must obey. The WHO is actually “directing as a corporate agency,” she says.

This has made the health security [WHO] a dictatorship where Director-General can decide on his own to sell vaccines, to sell the PCR [tests]… So, I’m finding out some inconsistencies that have not been used in law… —Dr. Astrid Stückelberger, Ph.D, interview; 9:37; mercola.com

Moreover, Bill Gates requested to be part of the WHO “like a member state. It’s incredible… this is unprecedented in a constitution of member states,” claims Dr. Stückelberger. While she says she has not uncovered evidence that Gates was granted this status, she believes he “unofficially” holds power.^[4]

He is treated liked a head of state, not only at the WHO, but also at the G20. —Politico, citing a Geneva-based NGO representative, who called Gates one of the most influential men in global health; May 4th, 2017; politico.com

Second, GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization) that was founded by Gates, was made into an “an independent international institution” in Switzerland.^[5] GAVI is the organization partnering with ID2020 and Gates’ Microsoft to create a digital ID for every person on the planet, tied to their vaccination. What’s “very strange,” she says, is that GAVI is not only not subject to taxation but has complete “qualified diplomatic immunity” preventing them from being investigated or charged of any wrongdoing, willful or otherwise. This was confirmed by another member in the panel discussion^[6] who agreed this was simply unprecedented concentrated power. Even a former employee of the Gates Foundation and GAVI is questioning the current anti-science climate. 

I think our society is also increasingly developing what I call herd behavior or herd mentality rather than herd immunity, actually. So, what you can see is that, for example, the politicians are blindly following the key experts; and the key experts are blindly following the WHO; and the WHO is kind of sticking to their “global mandate”… be nice, be beautiful, but shut up and just get yourself vaccinated. And that is certainly a situation and mentality that is unacceptable… —Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, PhD, DVM; at 35:46

Of course, it is not Gates but Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who is the Director-General of the WHO. He was the former Minister of Health in Ethiopia where he was accused by several health officials of having covered up three cholera outbreaks there.^[7] Before being appointed to the WHO, Tedros had served on several Gates founded organizations, including GAVI.^[8]
 
THE GOLDEN GATES
What perhaps seals the deal of Gates’ unprecedented influence over the WHO, and consequently, the world’s pandemic response, is his surprising “philanthropy” toward the media. According to Columbian Journalism Review, he has steered over $250 million to the BBC, NPR, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, The Guardian, the New York Times, Univision, Medium, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde, Center for Investigative Reporting, Pulitzer Center, National Press Foundation (NPF), International Center for Journalists, and a host of other entities including those online “fact-checkers.” 

PolitiFact and USA Today (run by the Poynter Institute and Gannett, respectively—both of which have received funds from the Gates Foundation) have even used their fact-checking platforms to defend Gates from “false conspiracy theories” and “misinformation,” like the idea that the foundation has financial investments in companies developing covid vaccines and therapies. In fact, the [Gates’] foundation’s website and most recent tax forms clearly show investments in such companies, including Gilead and CureVac. —Tim Scwab, Columbian Journalism Review, August 21st, 2020 

In 2010, Gates declared the “Decade of Vaccines”, donating ten billion to their development.^[9] Then he dropped billions more in April 2020 for building seven “vaccine factories” since he thought he could mobilize faster than governments to fight the coronavirus outbreak.^[10] But that’s not just money to the wind. “We feel there’s been over a 20-to-1 return”, Gates boasted of his investments in vaccines.^[11] Indeed, his foundation owns stocks in several vaccine manufacturers, including Pfizer, according to an investment firm.^[12] He also gave a grant for the new mRNA gene therapy “vaccine” to Moderna who, in turn, agreed to “grant to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation certain non-exclusive licenses.”^[13]
But aren’t Gates’ foundations “non-profit”? In truth, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust manages the endowment assets. “These two entities often have overlapping interests and, as has been noted many times in the past, grants given by the Foundation often directly benefit the value of the Trust’s assets.”^[14] 

They — and the corporations they invite to join them — use the tax shelter of a non-profit organization to invest in for-profit enterprises. Gates & Buffet get tax write-offs for putting money in their foundation, but their foundation can give money (both as grants & investments) directly to for-profit corporations creating for-profit products. This, obviously, creates huge conflict of interests. —Dr. Joseph Mercola, October 2nd, 2012; nvic.org

That’s precisely the case with Moderna and Pfizer, who have received funding from Gates. Vaccines aren’t free.^{[15] [16]} Last month, Pfizer’s CFO said he sees “significant opportunity…from a pricing perspective” to hike the price on future booster shots.^[17] They wasted no time. In the midst of the pandemic, Pfizer has just jacked their prices by 62%^[18] with Moderna and Johnson and Johnson saying price increases aren’t far behind.^[19][20]
Thus, it is no surprise that Forbes lists Gates, whose net worth is 130.4 billion,^[21] among the world’s most powerful leaders. This is the same man whose founding partner in Microsoft, Paul Allen, wrote an autobiography that “unveils Gates’s ruthlessness in sweeping out of his way all impediments to success, Allen included.”^[22] The same man who was successfully sued by the U.S. government for breaking antitrust laws in attempting to monopolize competition to Microsoft’s web browser and operating system.^[23] The same Gates who recently became America’s top farmland owner.^[24] The same Gates who “also controls the world’s seed supply.”^[25] The same Gates who is funding GAVI to track every person on the planet with “digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently, or when we have a vaccine, who has received it.”^[26] 
But how would he achieve such a goal?
 
A WAKE OF TEARS
First, consider the history of the Gates Foundation and the WHO, which has produced some disturbing results. In 2011, they administered a polio vaccine in Uttar, Pradesh leaving 491,000 paralyzed from 2000-2017.^[27] While Gates and the WHO went on to declare India “polio free”, scientists backed by studies warned that it was, in fact, the live polio virus in the vaccine causing the polio-like symptoms. The Indian Journal of Medical Ethics study concluded:

The principle of primum-non-nocere [First, do no harm] was violated. —pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
 

It’s actually an interesting conundrum. The very tool you are using for [polio] eradication is causing the problem. —npr.com; read study here

The time is coming when the only cause of polio is likely to be the vaccine used to prevent it. —Dr. Harry F. Hull and Dr. Philip D. Minor of the Division of Virology at the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control in the U.K., Clinical Infectious Diseases periodical in 2005, healthimpactnews.com; Source: “When Can We Stop Using Oral Poliovirus Vaccine?”, Dec. 15th, 2005))

This is the same Gates/GAVI/WHO alliance that introduced the DPT vaccine in Africa after it was discontinued in the US and western nations in the 1990s following thousands of reports of death and brain damage. In a peer-reviewed study of the African injections,^[28] the results proved devastating.

Dr. Mogenson and his team found that girls vaccinated with the DTP vaccine died at 10 times the rate of unvaccinated kids. While the vaccinated children were protected from Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis, they were far more susceptible to other deadly diseases than unvaccinated peers. The vaccine apparently compromised their immune systems. Thanks to Gates, DTP is the world’s most popular vaccine. For African nations, GAVI and WHO use DTP vaccine uptake to gauge national compliance with vaccine recommendations. GAVI can financially punish nations that don’t fully comply. —Robert F. Kennedy, April 23rd, 2020 childrenshealthdefense.org (emphasis mine)

And yes, this is the same Gates/WHO partnership that the Kenyan Catholic bishops claimed were chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a “tetanus” vaccine campaign similar to what happened in the Philippines, Nicaragua, and Mexico.^[29] While the WHO and their “fact-checkers” continue to deny the allegations, a paper published in 2017 concluded that the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) that through injection leads to sterility, was in the vaccines administered:

Three independent Nairobi accredited biochemistry laboratories tested samples from vials of the WHO tetanus vaccine being used in March 2014 and found hCG where none should be present. In October 2014, 6 additional vials were obtained by Catholic doctors and were tested in 6 accredited laboratories. Again, hCG was found in half the samples. Subsequently, Nairobi’s AgriQ Quest laboratory, in two sets of analyses, again found hCG in the same vaccine vials that tested positive earlier… Given that hCG was found in at least half the WHO vaccine samples known by the doctors involved in administering the vaccines to have been used in Kenya, our opinion is that the Kenya “anti-tetanus” campaign was reasonably called into question by the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association as a front for population growth reduction. —John Holler, et. al., University of Lafayette, October 2017; researchgate.net
