Bill Gates in 2018: The world needs to prepare for pandemics just like war

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health officials continue to grapple with the coronavirus outbreak that has killed at least 132 people in China and sickened 6,100 worldwide. And back in 2018, Billionaire Bill Gates gave a warning that the world wasn’t prepared for pandemics, which should “concern us all.”

Speaking at an event hosted by Massachusetts Medical Society and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on April 27, 2018, Gates said he believed “the world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war.”

“This preparation includes staging simulations, war games and preparedness exercises so that we can better understand how diseases will spread and how to deal with responses such as quarantine and communications to minimize panic,” Gates said.

Pandemics occur when epidemics spread between countries. And though coronavirus is not considered a pandemic, the spread of such viruses is a serious concern.

Gates noted that while a 2009 outbreak of H1N1 influenza (dubbed the swine flu) wasn’t as lethal as people initially feared, it did call attention to the fact that the world doesn’t have a coordinated approach to help with early detection and spread of pandemics.

“The Ebola epidemic in West Africa four years ago was another wake up call, as the number of confirmed cases climbed, the death toll mounted, and local health systems collapsed. Again, the world was much too slow to respond,” he said of the 2014-2016 epidemic, which killed 11,000 and infected more than 28,000. Eleven people were treated for Ebola in the United States during that epidemic, according to the CDC.

Gates also compared future deadly global pandemics to a new type of “military weapon.”

Yeah, Bill knows all ab out it, he never having served in the military.

As a matter of fact, Bills answer to just about any problem means invoking a totalitarian state and the reduction or abandonmen of personal freedom.

Sure, Bill, O fearless leader, bring us your utopia (sarc.).

Event 201, A pandemic exercise.

Event 201

The Gates Foundation, John Hopkins, and WHO wargamed this pandemic scenario October 18, 2019 - weeks before it unfolded.

And Fauci said Trump would certainly face a pandemic while in office.

Considering how many of those various presidents have faces in office, it would not a reasonable or likely scenario for him to predict.

Unless he knew something.

Add that to this comment from Gates, and it looks more than likely that this was all planned out from the years ago.

There is a public health enterprise that has been in place that Fauci is at the core of in terms of infectious diseases. The budget for the operations is multi-billions per year spread across HHS Institutes and Centers and agencies.

They have been supposed to prepare for these things for at least 15 years.

Fauci has been in this position as The Director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 36 straight years.

They keep saying they need to do the same thing over and over and get more and more money to do it but never actually do much of what they get the money to do.

If you STAY ready, you don’t have to GET ready. An old Chief Bosun told me that. Too bad Obama didn’t learn that while he was depleting ppe supplies.

OK - get a red and black armband with a swastika, or in our tech-world get a tattoo on your arm of the bill gates vaccine icon.

Send all the Jews to the gas chamber, or maybe fine and arrest all the Christians.
