More dangerous than a pandemic. What Bill Gates Warns About

Bill Gates’s predictions have properties to come true

To counter new threats, billions of dollars will need to be spent on epidemiological safety research.

While the world is suffering from the coronavirus pandemic, the founder of Microsoft, billionaire Bill Gates, suggests preparing for new challenges. Gates is worth listening to as he predicted COVID. In his opinion, pandemics will become more and more, and terrorist attacks with the use of biological weapons may turn out to be even more dangerous than the spread of coronavirus.

Fight against infectious diseases

Gates believes that billions of dollars will need to be spent on epidemiological safety research and the development of specific mechanisms to combat infectious diseases to counter new threats.

He called on the World Health Organization to create a special working group to monitor the epidemiological situation. According to Gates, this structure can also prepare for possible attacks by bioterrorists, working out scenarios for eliminating their consequences.

“The WHO Pandemic Working Group is likely to need about a billion dollars a year. It will monitor and conduct ‘bacteriological exercises,’ as I call them,” said the Microsoft founder.

Gates explains the importance of preventing the threat of terrorist attacks with the use of biological weapons as follows: “What if bioterrorists bring smallpox to 10 airports? We know how the world can respond to this? There are naturally occurring epidemics and epidemics caused by bioterrorism. what we are experiencing now. “

“I hope that in five years I will be able to write a book called“ We Are Ready for the Next Pandemic, ”but that requires spending billions of dollars on research and development. The US and UK will be involved in this,” explained Gates.

Years before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Gates warned of the threat of new deadly flu epidemics that the world is not ready for. “I keep my fingers crossed so that a deadly epidemic like the flu doesn’t happen in the next 10 years,” Gates told the BBC in 2016.

“If anything kills more than 10 million people over the next few decades, it will most likely be a highly pathogenic virus, not a war. Not missiles, but microbes,” Gates said in 2015.

“One of the reasons for this is that we have invested huge amounts of money in nuclear deterrence, but very little invested in epidemic prevention. We are not ready for the next epidemic,” the founder of Microsoft concluded at the time.

According to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, more than 5 million people have died in the world, almost 250 million have become ill.
