Because regardless of our feelings on it, Gates is a hugely powerful and influential American man who is constantly trying to social engineer things. Leaving someone like that on their own, or worse working against you because you snubbed them, is a terrible idea in itself.
How Trump felt and responds to the meeting is the more important part, because he could completely disagree with it and that's the end of that.
However, Trump was the one who started the Covid vaccine himself and a lot of the negatives of it got their footing under his Warp Speed plan. So his positions and plans on it will always probably be one's we hate, short of someone like RFK holding more sway.
Seriously, why did this even happen?
