Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has spent the past couple decades warning the general public about ominous issues, from upcoming “climate disasters” to devastating cyberattacks.
Two potential catastrophes evoke the most concern from Gates. “A lot of unrest” in today’s world could spark “a major war,” he tells CNBC Make It. And even “if we avoid a big war ... then, yes, there will be another pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years.”
Scientists typically view pandemics as likely, even inevitable, occurrences over time. They are indeed becoming more common, due to factors like climate change and population growth, research shows.
For Gates and other global health advocates, the question isn’t whether another pandemic will occur soon — it’s whether nations will be more prepared than they were for the outbreak of Covid-19. “The country that the world expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations,” Gates says, referring to the United States.
Gates wrote a book called “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic” in 2022, in which he called out various governments, including the U.S., for not being adequately prepared in 2020. In the book, he laid out several recommendations for countries worldwide, including stronger quarantining policies, investing in disease monitoring and boosting vaccine research and development.
While some progress has been made, with increased spending on pandemic preparedness in the U.S. and elsewhere, Gates says the global response hasn’t yet been enough. “Although some of the lessons from [the coronavirus] pandemic have been learned, [it’s been] way less than I would expect, sadly,” he says.
The political divisions many believe hampered the world’s response to Covid-19 are still standing in the way of preparing appropriately for the next outbreak, Gates adds: “Getting our thoughts together about what [we did] well, what we didn’t do well, is still not happening .... Perhaps, in the next five years, that’ll get better. But, so far, it’s quite surprising.”
Preventing widespread disease is the focus of an episode in the upcoming Netflix docuseries “What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates,” set to premiere September 18.
In an advance screening of the Netflix series provided to Make It, Gates sits down with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In that conversation, Fauci is adamant that the wealthiest nations, like the U.S., have a “moral responsibility” to share their abundant resources to lead the way on preventing the spread of disease around the world.
Fauci published a memoir this summer called “On Call,” in which he expressed his concerns over how the world is facing a “crisis of truth” over rampant misinformation, such as the kind that shook the public’s faith in public health initiatives.
The scientist struck a more optimistic tone in a July interview with People, in which he said he believes that public trust of scientific facts will eventually be restored.
“I still feel as somewhat of a cautious optimist that there are the better angels in everybody that will come out,” Fauci said.
N9 Jesus, no peace. Know Jesus...
I know how to Prevent the Next Pandemic - EXTERMINATE the WEF and all the other Megalomaniac Billionaires who think like Billy Gates.
That is what keeps him up at night?
This explains why it took 20 years to fix the “Blue Screen of Death”
Enough with the climate change already. It’s called weather. It happens.
Give it a rest already.
Gates maybe rich but he’s still a dip$^*t.
Is there a chance we could put him aboard the spaceship that is going to go up to the Space Station next year to retrieve the two astronauts stranded there? He could “accidentally” be left behind.. Sorry - there are only TWO seats and those are for the astronauts...He’s REALLY not needed here!!!!

If pandemics are becoming more likely it’s because of easy access to transportation and horrible immigration policy.
And even with those things, true pandemics are quite rare. Epidemics happen locally all the time. They usually happen in areas with bad water and bad food. They happen where there is bad environments due to war, poverty, or just ignorance.
This has been true since humans started living near each other.
This self appointed savior needs to go away. No one is asking him for his opinion much less his help. He is doing things as an individual that would not be allowed by Countries. I am constantly surprised at how many people like him and Soros and Schwab are allowed to behave the way they do. They have to be secret state actors.
COVID spread because it happened during The Chinese New Year, which is the biggest annual human migration on the planet, as millions of Chinese return the China and then return home. The perfect vector.
Just wait until they start divvying up the Earth into ten sectors.................
Bill Gates is a Psychopath so he sleeps like a baby
“Even paranoids have real enemies.” - Henry Kissinger.................
Individuals dominated by excessive fear may exhibit symptoms such as irrational thoughts, hyperfocus on potential threats, and catastrophic thinking.
Statement sounds like it was concocted as pure propaganda. Surely Gates is smart enough to know that a war can easily be followed by or mixed with a disease outbreak. He is just becoming a publicity hog.
Potentially the best way to avoid a big war and a pandemic is to prevent Bill Gates from being the impetus.
Not that COVID-19 was a pandemic, but it did teach that viral pandemics can’t be stopped by quarantines.
Evidence that COVID had escaped China to Italy was found in public sewer samples dated 6 months before the virus was identified in outbreaks.
Draconian measures of isolation in Australia merely delayed the pandemic.
The virus can not be stopped and trying to stop it will only cause economic damage and human misery.
So, the omnipotent Bill Gates claims that if we don’t have a big war soon that will lead to another big pandemic. Uh, Bill, you know this how? Oh, right, you and your WEF buddies are planning it. You so smart Bill. You so smart.
This article doesn't take a point of view on the matter, does it.
So, what is that, a threat.??
