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.”

Sounds like Chesty Puller, Patton, MacAuthur to me. They were always ready. 0bama ruined our Military, let our planes and ships go to rot. Brought in LGTQB or Trannies to ruin moral. Many would not join under him.

Under Trump we are gaining, fixing, upgrading and he’s going to get rid of the misfits..

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

It’s bigger than this one seminar. Our esteemed son-in-law Jarad Kusher is trying to save us by instituting a new system:

“New York Post: Jared Kushner, a top White House adviser and President Trump’s son-in-law, and his coronavirus-fighting team are reaching out to health technology companies about creating a national surveillance system to track the spread of the pandemic, according to a report.”

Bill Gates is Lex Luthor. This guy want to force us to use HIS vaccines but also want to force us to use an identification card.

Billg: "prepare for pandemics in the same serious way [we] prepare[] for war"

I agree, we should prepare for pandemics at the same time and in the same serious way we prepare for war against global totalitarians.

Chemtrail seeding has been a weapon, 5G is a weapon, weaponized contagions are a weapon, China stealing technology is a weapon, China seeking to control crowds as in Hong Kong is a weapon. AG Barr has said "The Chinese are in a full-court Blitzkrieg against the US, ..."election security, geo-politically, economically, militarily, integrity of institutions.

Blitzkrieg = (German) "flash war" (indicating very fast and violent)

This info from Dr. Judy Mikovits ties in with your video posted about the inflated flu death numbers. All purposefully done to scare people into getting the flu shot.

Guess what else they got?

There has to be a full blown investigation into all this.

I know many people have been praying that the evil among us would be exposed, and it is, like I never expected.

It is in some respects, disheartening, but I keep reminding myself that God is in control and He will see that justice is done some day.

I’m just staggered, though, at the depths of evil in so many people.

I am so glad now, that I was never born into the privileged life if it means having had to rub elbows with that group. Being a nobody is much safer, too. Better for not dying from an accident or suicide.

Seeing as how this is a chinese bioweapon, and seeing as how gates is colluding with the enemy in a time of war, should he be put of against a wall?
