Your are totally confused on who is funding who. Gates is in a private development with Inovio, to my knowledge there's been no acknowledgement that the federal government is financially backing Inovio also, it hasn't been a company who've I've seen this administration mentioning. That isn't the only company Gates donates to for research but I am assuming the reason the company's vaccine hasn't been mentioned pubic-ally by this administration is they are aware this DNA vaccine will scare people away....something they can't afford to have happening.
