Bombay High Court asks Gates, Serum Institute and Indian government to respond to Covishield-death petition
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
An Indian court directed Bill Gates, the Serum Institute of India, and government officials to file formal responses to a petition brought by Dilip Lunawat, whose daughter Snehal — a doctor — died in 2021 of complications he attributes to the Covishield (AstraZeneca-formula) COVID-19 vaccine. The High Court of Judicature at Bombay set a hearing and response deadline in the case, which seeks damages. Contrary to recurring viral posts in 2025 and 2026 claiming that 'India is suing Bill Gates,' the matter is a private petition by a bereaved father, not an action brought by the Indian state, and fact-checkers have flagged the 'country sues Gates' framing as misleading. The Serum Institute has maintained that Covishield is safe and effective.

Gates keeps a collection of rare and classic cars
Despite his reputation for frugality in some areas, Bill Gates has long indulged a passion for cars, assembling a collection that has included several Porsches — among them the 911 he has owned for decades and the storied 959 — as well as other classics. His automotive tastes, and the saga of importing the then-illegal 959, are among the more colorful footnotes of his personal life.

Gates retreats for solitary, twice-yearly 'Think Weeks'
For years Bill Gates retreated twice a year to a secluded cabin for a solitary 'Think Week,' during which he read stacks of papers, books, and employee proposals with no interruptions, emerging with strategic memos that shaped Microsoft's direction. The ritual became famous as a model of deep, focused thinking by a busy executive, and was credited with helping spark major pivots — including Microsoft's embrace of the internet. Gates carried the habit of voracious, deliberate reading into his philanthropy.
