Did Bill Gates really have 0 ability to get antibiotics in secret except to ask Epstein for them, in writing?

Like he didn’t even have real life employees on NDAs he could pay to figure this out for him?

Even tho he has unlimited money he’s still completely powerless to get himself secret antibiotics and has to pop Epstein an email?

Why?

I have thought more than once over this saga that Epstein wrote a bunch of incriminating shit into his notes for just this purpose.

Epstein was no idiot. Keeping some incriminating shit to use as leverage is smart scumbag 101.

I think the kompromat was a fundamental component of his operation.

If he were to arrange victims for you to abuse, obviously you would acquire incriminating information about him in the course of that engagement. He would obviously need you to provide similarly incriminating information implicating yourself, as surety he wouldn't be blackmailed.
