A deadly mosquito-borne pandemic poses a greater threat to humankind than global war, billionaire Bill Gates warns.
In a hard-hitting new documentary, the world's richest man said a killer bug could wipe out 10 million people without warning.
Footage seen by MailOnline, set to be aired next week, shows the philanthropist's worries towards the danger of disease-carrying mosquitos.
An outbreak could mimic the damage of the Ebola epidemic in late 2014 or the burden of that of the deadly SARS outbreak in 2003, experts worry.
Climate change warming the planet is allowing for mosquitos to spread from their usual habitats, posing a risk to many in the northern hemisphere.
While growing populations in these dense areas and the increasing ease of global travel mean the danger of a pandemic looms large if a virus was to break out - of which the likelihood is growing.

Just bring DDT back on the market and send it free and the equipment to use it in third world countries.

Many millions I hear.
How many millions have died?
Enough to put Rachel Carson in the top two on the list of Greatest Mass Murders in History.
“Just bring DDT back on the market and send it free and the equipment to use it in third world countries.”
Half of humanity would perish before they allowed that.
No doubt some astute FReeper has the extrapolated numbers stored somewhere.
Could wipe out 10 million?
Pfft...nobody would even notice 10 million.
Besides, I thought 100% of the earth was going to die in the next three years due to global something or other.
What’s the worry du jour? Is it Global XYZ? Asteroids? Mosquitos? Rising interest rates? RoundUp herbicide? Antifa / BLM / Democrats in general?
It is so hard to keep the crises straight.

Ebola 2014: 11,000 deaths... SARS 2003: 775 deaths. Yet, they are worried that an outbreak that mimics those would result in 10 million deaths. Pure melodrama.
Wonder where he got his degree in Entomology and epidemiology?
Global warming idiocy is for saving the PLANET not humankind. They could give a crap about people problems. Better for us to live in caves than destroy the planet.
To say there’s no threat.
Hasn’t Bill Gates called for population reduction in the past?
Please tell me where I went wrong if this is the kind of crap that comes out of a billionaire’s brain?

Which is what the elites like $oreA$$ would like to see.
It's ALREADY raised the temperature 0.001 degrees!!!
Malaria infects about 212 million people per year... About half a million to a million people die of the disease, depending on the treatment available.
BS. Mosquitos are everywhere except the Arctic, Antartica and some sub-polar islands.
Used to love the smell of DDT in the evening.
