16. I saw Melinda French, his former wife

react to the news when it came out and she was clearly traumatized. I think she said she cried about it. And Gates himself took it very seriously and seemed crushed that this news had come out.

That's why I think it might be true that his wife was infected and he tried to administer antibiotics without her knowing.

I recall her body language at the end of that comment. She waved it away and said she was glad she'd gotten divorced and was now away from it all. This indicates to me that she didn't have the whole ugly truth at the time, and now she does.

I agree with the poster Katcat upthread (post 13) who said that Gates could probably get other women but kids are hard to find (for that purpose). Not only that, but let's remember that Epstein had that built into his system--that no kid would go public with an accusation--because he kept them on islands, ranches, and the like. It worked well for a long time. Until it didn't.
