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.
Just shut down and destroy all the BSL-4 labs and their evil “gain of function” research. A release like this was inevitable whether it was accidental or intentional (in this case to get Trump out of office).
But that evil genie isn’t going back into the bottle, so Gates is correct.
“Heil, Bill”???
(I think not!)
This isn’t a warning from Gates. It is a promise.
So it means you’ll only have a 99% survival rate?
I have the exact same medical degree Bill Gates has, and I disagree.
And I’m sure this guy is actively working on it.
Him and his pet Fauci.
What an ass.
Be funny if the “vaccines” set people up to not survive the “next pandemic”.
And how many patents does Bill or one of his foundations own on the next pandemic?
For a guy that seems interested in depopulating the planet, he sure seems worried about our well-being.
Wasn’t his father on some board for Planned Parenthood? He was a depopulation guy too, obviously.
Know anybody like that, Bill?
Gates (and his wife, or whoever actually wrote this screed) mixes REALITY and MAY in the same sentence.
Remember Men In Black, when Kay says "There's always an alien battle cruiser, or a Corellian death ray, or an intergalactic plague intended to wipe out life on this miserable little planet.. Well, the same sort of situation is true of life....there is ALWAYS some small chance of someing massive and bad happening...space boulders crashing into Earth, alien landings, solar flares, another Springsteen album. But mankind never lived preparing for those small probability events. You have to be AWARE of those low probability events, but you deal with the things most likely to occur.
What Gates et al want is to flip that mindset, because then WE aren't in control. Big Billy is in charge then. Sorry, not buying it.
Why do people who want to depopulate the world never volunteer to go first, as an example?
...he said breathlessly with a twinkle in his eye.
Bill and his Chinese friends are in the know.
My thoughts tend towards the later.

Agree. They sure seem to value their lives. I guess they think their lives are more valuable than everyone else’s life.
But until you show me medical degree your opinions regarding pandemics mean absolutely *nothing* to me...or to any reasonably intelligent person.
Bring out your dead, and old.
These pandemics target high density populations.
Flyover Country is low density.
Grin.
