MUNICH — To health leaders across the globe, reaching the World Health Organization’s goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the planet’s population by mid-2022 is crucial to stave off future Covid-19 surges.
To Bill Gates, the target represents a top-down approach to fighting the coronavirus that overlooks the reality on the ground — a way of thinking he says must change before the next pandemic.
“We’ll never get to 70 percent. Who is kidding who? We live in a world where you have countries that spend $12,000 per person per year on medicine and countries that spend $200 per person per year,” Gates, whose foundation has carried out successful polio vaccination campaigns for years, said. “If you're playing the $200-per-person game, you can only do things that have huge impact.”
Gates, the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, sat down with POLITICO in Munich to talk about finding not only more effective ways of combating Covid-19 but also how to better prepare and respond to the next public health crisis. The two are interconnected, he said. Find solutions to the first — including improved production of Covid-19 vaccine and therapeutics as well as their distribution — and a future pandemic becomes easier to handle.
A piece of that preparedness puzzle includes optimizing vaccine distribution. COVAX, the world’s vaccine facility, finally has enough doses to allocate and distribute to countries. However, COVAX is still struggling to quickly put shots in arms, particularly in low- and middle-income countries with weaker health systems.
Gates said the process should be based on each country’s preferences. It’s possible that nations, including the 30 that are still recording 10 percent immunization rates, only want to target vulnerable populations, he said.

What the F does he know more than anyone else?
Right, Bill, y'all better get your ducks in a row before springing the next plandemic on us. Now that you guys have some practice, you know what's ahead and what you need to do to make the next lunge for power even more successful.
“It’s possible that nations, including the 30 that are still recording 10 percent immunization rates, only want to target vulnerable populations, he said.”
THAT is what should have been done for SARS-Cov-2! 🙄
“Science” has taken a big hit from the so-called “scientists:”
Maybe the Chinese Communist Party will give us more warning about the next deadly virus they plan to release?
fú Bill!
“...reaching the World Health Organization’s goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the planet’s population by mid-2022 is crucial to stave off future Covid-19 surges.”
This statement is pure garbage.
It’s not a vaccine, especially not for new variants.
This is a global cluster-F.
You forgot to add “megalomaniacal”.
Actually targeting (and protecting) the vulnerable populations makes much more scientific sense then trying to universally vaccinate a way out of a pandemic.
Where’s the money in that?
Someone needs to have the gonads to arrest, charge, convict and execute this POS.
$hit.
It might work. Follow the Science.
Chicken soup and sprite.
I like Carlos Hathcock…
99.9% survivable for people without comorbidities.
How ironic this is currently posted directly under the ...”AN ENTIRE LIZARD TRAPPED IN AMBER IS GAZING BACK AT US FROM 110 MILLION YEARS AGO” post.
He’s dead, Jim.
Wait... what'd the monkey do? The other two, okay...
