He warned that an upcoming pandemic could be 10 times worse and that humanity is not prepared for it. He also insisted that people must learn the lesson that COVID-19 is giving us, according to a quote from the RT portal to an interview with the tycoon for a German media .
According to the billionaire, "we are not prepared for the next pandemic," in the same way he hopes that this situation will change in a couple of years and indicated the axes of opportunity such as drugs, tests, vaccines, epidemiology, and follow-up.
"This pandemic is bad, but a future pandemic could be 10 times more serious," said the magnate, who urged governments to protect their citizens against possible new diseases.

He also called on the rulers to avoid vaccination nationalism and to distribute the vaccine fairly.

This is not the first time that Gates has warned of future illnesses, in an interview with the Financial Times via Skype on April 2, 2020 , the businessman said that this coronavirus pandemic was the "largest event that many people will experience in his entire life, "and he prevented that a similar viral outbreak will likely occur" every 20 years or so . "
Similarly, in a post on his foundation's blog , written in conjunction with his wife Melinda Gates, the billionaire stated that “the unfortunate reality is that COVID-19 may not be the last pandemic. We do not know when the next one will arrive, or if it will be a flu, a coronavirus or some new disease that we have never seen before. But what we do know is that we cannot allow ourselves to be caught off guard again. The threat of the next pandemic will always be over our heads, unless the world takes steps to prevent it. "
What should we do to prevent the next pandemic according to Bill Gates? "The world needs to double investments in R&D (research and development)," as well as develop entirely new capabilities that do not yet exist.
Gates explains that "stopping the next pandemic will require spending tens of billions of dollars a year" and comments that the estimate of global expenditures for the COVID-19 pandemic is approximately 28 trillion dollars.

Finally, Gates hopes that in the next few years “mega-diagnostic platforms” can be developed, which can assess up to 20% of the population each week.
Behold, the Army of the 12 Monkeys.
**** off Bill.
Gee, Bill, is that a warning?
You got some guys in a dungeon lab cooking up a really badass virus that’ll make you ten times richer then Zuckerpunk when you magically pull the vaccine out of your butt?
The “SCIENCE” has
Already been put in
Place to Control the
Worlds Population.
Oh sweet merciful crap, at this point, I can only hope. I’m hoping its a doozy. I’ve lived 52 years, I’m ready.
Nothing worse than some globalist busybody do gooder who is finanacially independent and so has all day long to think up mischief.
Whenever he talks this crap get ready for more horror to come. We need some of these monsters stopped for good.
Or it could not.
Why?, because you invested ten times as much money in it?
Remember, Bill gets paid, no matter how bad things get!!
haha!
Why? Did you stir it up yourself, Sauron?
Sounds like a THREAT from an Enemy!
***He warned that an upcoming pandemic could be 10 times worse***
Sounds as if he has a new sickness waiting in the wings to spring on us.
Well, yeah, now we know what they have planned.
So they are either going to release a new virus, or one that works specifically on people who have been vaccinated for COVID.
Thanks for the warning, Bill.
Did he warn or threaten?
Yeah, this one has been pretty disappointing. It’ll take killing 50% of humanity to knock most of the stupid out of people.
This is like reading one of those health blogs where at the end, there is always going to be some $39.95 bottle of magic pills that will solve the problems they fear mongered about.
