Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has spent the past couple decades warning the general public about ominous issues, from upcoming “climate disasters” to devastating cyberattacks.
Two potential catastrophes evoke the most concern from Gates. “A lot of unrest” in today’s world could spark “a major war,” he tells CNBC Make It. And even “if we avoid a big war ... then, yes, there will be another pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years.”
Scientists typically view pandemics as likely, even inevitable, occurrences over time. They are indeed becoming more common, due to factors like climate change and population growth, research shows.
For Gates and other global health advocates, the question isn’t whether another pandemic will occur soon — it’s whether nations will be more prepared than they were for the outbreak of Covid-19. “The country that the world expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations,” Gates says, referring to the United States.
Gates wrote a book called “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic” in 2022, in which he called out various governments, including the U.S., for not being adequately prepared in 2020. In the book, he laid out several recommendations for countries worldwide, including stronger quarantining policies, investing in disease monitoring and boosting vaccine research and development.
While some progress has been made, with increased spending on pandemic preparedness in the U.S. and elsewhere, Gates says the global response hasn’t yet been enough. “Although some of the lessons from [the coronavirus] pandemic have been learned, [it’s been] way less than I would expect, sadly,” he says.
The political divisions many believe hampered the world’s response to Covid-19 are still standing in the way of preparing appropriately for the next outbreak, Gates adds: “Getting our thoughts together about what [we did] well, what we didn’t do well, is still not happening .... Perhaps, in the next five years, that’ll get better. But, so far, it’s quite surprising.”
Preventing widespread disease is the focus of an episode in the upcoming Netflix docuseries “What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates,” set to premiere September 18.
In an advance screening of the Netflix series provided to Make It, Gates sits down with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In that conversation, Fauci is adamant that the wealthiest nations, like the U.S., have a “moral responsibility” to share their abundant resources to lead the way on preventing the spread of disease around the world.
Fauci published a memoir this summer called “On Call,” in which he expressed his concerns over how the world is facing a “crisis of truth” over rampant misinformation, such as the kind that shook the public’s faith in public health initiatives.
The scientist struck a more optimistic tone in a July interview with People, in which he said he believes that public trust of scientific facts will eventually be restored.
“I still feel as somewhat of a cautious optimist that there are the better angels in everybody that will come out,” Fauci said.
Bill is missing the glory days?
That headline makes it seem like he is rooting for a big war.
Natural PANDEMICS are relatively raw, however man created pandemics can be ordered as required. /s
The last pandemic was an act of war.
He wants the population of Earth reduced to 500 million to one billion. One way or another..................
IMO he’s rooting for anything that reduces the population of those “useless eaters” that are dirt under his fingernails (i.e. us).
He’s giving us a choice? How nice…..
He wants to kill millions. Full stop.
Murdering creep needs one between the eyes.
He was probably touching himself inappropriately while he said it.
Picture him sitting in a plastic covered chair in his Disney underwear with tissue boxes on his feet.........................
Well hopefully we can have World War III so that Bill Gates can get some peaceful sleep.
I used to joke with the Good Windows Release then a Bad Windows Release that Bill Gates was the Antichrist.
Anymore I’m not certain that it was all that far off the target......
How much was he dancing with “Rona”? Maybe he misses her. There are no many that are richer than him, so what do you do when you are no longer number one?
Bill Gates is “Cocteau” from “Demolition Man”:
“I’ve seen the future, you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sittin’ around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants.”
He could be the False Prophet..................
I have to wonder just how secure Billy is.
A drones says , meh, he’s reachable .
BTTT
The more I read about him and from him the less I think of him
To me now, he’s basically Klaus Schwab
There you have it people everything bad is caused by Climate Change and if it doesn’t cause it, it makes it worse.
If, God forbid, world peace ever breaks out it will be caused by Climate Change.
