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.

Why is this guy pretending to be a doctor scientist? He’s constantly being quoted lately.
He really thinks he is so much smarter than everyone else.
True, he made good business decisions and got into a great business at the right time and got filthy rich, but in the past 5 years how much epidemiology and how much virology has he been studying while enjoying his mansions?
His advice on this subject is extremely suspect!
His parents were head of the Planned Planned Parenthood for years. Staunch anti population extremists. Nuff said.
Amazing coincidence:
I have the same medical degree as Bill Gates...
Yes, I think I read your paper that you co-authored, “We Don’t Know the First Effing Thing about Virology.” Very informative.
Yes, get rid of him, fauci, and anyone else involved with biowarfare.
Prepare to be depopulated
Well, I did use my coloring crayons in block letter...
This from a guy who wants 95% of the rest of us dead by 2030...
