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.

Phoebe Gates's AI shopping startup Phia takes off — built with 'no ties to my last name'
Phoebe Gates, the youngest child of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates, has drawn attention for Phia, the AI-powered shopping app she co-founded with Sophia Kianni. Launched in April 2025, Phia scans the web and secondhand marketplaces to find deals on fashion; by early 2026 it had surpassed a million users, grown revenue elevenfold, and raised more than $40 million — including a $35 million round — at a valuation around $185 million, backed by Kleiner Perkins, Kris Jenner, and Hailey Bieber. Notably, Phoebe took no money from her parents, saying she wanted to 'build something generational that has no ties to me, my privilege, or my last name.'
