Did you know Bill Gates Criticizes Pandemic Preparedness, Citing Repeated Mistakes and Missing Tools
Software giant Microsoft’s owner, Bill Gates is making it clear to the
world that it’s not prepared to withstand another pandemic. This is even
though the world just went through COVID-19.
A recent interview
with the tech billionaire saw him expressing serious concern about the
thought of another pandemic arriving. He explained how the chances for
survival in the next couple of years are between 10 to 15%. Similarly,
he added that it would be nice to imagine how the world is more ready
for this, considering the recent past, but that’s far from the truth.
Gates
has been a long advocate of speaking the truth on matters such as the
pandemic and how to prepare for it the right way, including vaccines. In
his Ted Talk session of 2015, he warned how the world just was not
ready for this deadly outbreak. A few years later, he even authored more
on the subject by releasing a book covering the subject of preventing
the next pandemic.
In 2025, the Gates Foundation also made claims
of $125M in America to assist in putting an end to the acute phase of
the pandemic and prepare for future ones. Speaking to the WSJ, he
mentioned why he had such serious concerns. Among those was the fact
that so many tools were still missing. People were not considering this.
Instead, they were replaying errors made by others.
So many
lives were lost in the pandemic we saw a few years back, not to mention
trillions of dollars going down the drain. But it does not seem like
many learned from the mistakes, just yet. For now, it’s not quite clear
how much America is going to invest to prepare for the pandemic under
Donald Trump.
Several
health agencies in the country were given advisories to end
communication with the general public until a further date was provided.
As per President Trump, we saw Robert F. Kennedy Jr receive nominations
to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. He’s been a strong
advocate for vaccine mandates and even marketed fake claims about the
end result of these vaccines.
Therefore, it makes sense as to why Trump would want him in charge than others.
