Stripe, Anthropic, and OpenAI back new nonprofit Intercept to combat respiratory infections

Summary

A new nonprofit organization called Intercept has been launched, backed by Stripe, Anthropic, OpenAI Foundation, Flu Lab, Bill Gates, and Jane Street Capital traders. Intercept aims to combat respiratory infections like the common cold and flu through prevention-focused approaches, including vaccines and large-scale air-cleaning systems for schools, offices, and other public spaces. The initiative argues that society has underweighted the burden of respiratory infections, treating them as minor nuisances despite their significant cumulative impact.
