Bill Gates: ‘If every country does what Australia did,’ the world could prevent the next pandemic; Says Australia's Covid Response is the Gold Standard to Follow
CNBC ^ | 02/26/2022 | Megan Sauer

For months, Bill Gates has warned of a new pandemic looming on the horizon. And according to the Microsoft co-founder, one country has already laid out a blueprint for successfully mitigating it.

“If every country does what Australia did, then you wouldn’t be calling [the next outbreak] a pandemic,” Gates, a health philanthropist who has dedicated billions of dollars to vaccine research, said at the annual Munich Security Conference earlier this month.

Keeping a new outbreak from becoming a pandemic would almost certainly prevent many of the global consequences caused by Covid-19. But, Gates noted, it’ll likely require much stricter policies in a future outbreak’s early days than how most of the world enacted against Covid.

And countries will need to maintain those policies for a sustained period of time, even potentially against public pressure.

Gates cited Australia’s Covid response as the gold standard to follow. The country reopened its international borders this week for the first time since March 2020. Over the course of the pandemic, returning citizens and approved international travelers have been required to quarantine in hotels guarded by police and military members. Australia’s states even periodically locked down their respective borders.

Thousands of Australians protested those lockdowns, but the measures seem to have worked: Since the beginning of the pandemic, only 20 per 100,000 Australians have died from Covid, according to a New York Times analysis of John Hopkins University data.

That’s a significantly lower figure than the 283 per 100,000 Americans who have died from Covid, according to the same analysis.

Are you willing to be locked up every every time Gates and company creates a new virus>

Australia also has a strict immigration system where, not everybody from Central and South America and the Caribbean are welcome to America just by showing up.

Go sell some Windows 11 copies, Gates. You have no experience or expertise in epidemiology or the studies in infectious disease control.

Idiot.

Gates is full of crap. Nasty, vaccine-pushing, power-hungry crap.

Faith over fear, Billy-boy. I choose freedom. That includes breathing freely without some piece of dirty laundry on my face.

I think the US data was corrupted by financial incentives.

S&F was appearing to understand the scam of the virus. “Appearing”. From now on my comments will be far more acidic toward him.

Wake up, S&F.

Sorry man and I hope I don’t get in trouble for this response but you sound like me and a lot of others have the past few year, like a female dog.

And now you quote the New York Times? :)

And even if it’s true, what was that Ben Franklyn said about liberty and freedom and security?

WHAT THE #### are people like you drinking and smoking. THERE ARE SO MANY ON A CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE...

“tearing down our statues...too scared to show up and stand tall so i’ll watch and type a little”

“burning down cities..too scared to stand tall so i’ll watch and type a little”

“a FREAKING COUP...too scared to stand tall and fight so i’ll get mad watch it on the TV and type a little”

I got stuck in the middle of Three blm rallies in brooklyn. I was dating someone in a neighborhood over there.

They asked me why I wasn’t marching.

I was scared but I certainly didn’t join. I told them, and I am embarrassed of my weak reply..”it’s none of my concern”

WHY ARE YOU on this site?!!?! That’s not a reply that anyone REMOTELY conservative would give!!!

If you’re SO AFRAID, voted dem and you will get your WISH of a complete and utter lockdown.

I’ll keep the rest to myself.

Because what i’m thinking about your post right now is SO MUCH WORSE than what I’ve typed so far.

have a good one

Austalia was started as a penal colony, in modern times its a Bill Gates manufactured virus penal colony.
