Bill Gates says the U.S. government needs to seize the opportunity to lead the nation and the world in preparing for the “significant probability of a large and lethal modern-day pandemic occurring in our lifetimes.”
In an interview this week, the billionaire philanthropist said he has raised the issue of pandemic preparedness with President Trump since the 2016 presidential election. In his most recent meeting last month, Gates said he laid out the increasing risk of a bioterrorism attack and stressed the importance of U.S. funding for advanced research on new therapeutics, including a universal flu vaccine, which would protect against all or most strains of influenza.
Gates, who co-founded Microsoft and now leads a foundation on global health, said he told Trump that the president has a chance to lead on the issue of global health security. Trump encouraged him to follow up with top officials at the Health and Human Services Department, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, Gates said.

[[Bill Gates calls on U.S. to lead fight against a pandemic that could kill 33 million]]
Is he calling on the US to ban abortions?
Gates wants population reductions to drastic limits. He lies
only intentional biological warfare can produce such numbers in a short period of time. Standard public health measures for containment done correctly can keep that 33 million number of a liberal wet dream.
That’s crazy talk talk right there. You have something against bothersome tissue masses? Now if we can include in the vaccine to prevent a pandemic, a little something to make people want to ban guns, now you’re talkin’. Yes, this was snarky commentary. But you know what they are and who.
The Walking Dead? Liberals.
He’s a multi billionaire, let him fund it.
Bill, you are a gazillionaire - how about spending everything you have first before you hit up the American Taxpayer
Remember, the government has no money. It must TAKE money from citizens before it can spend any.
So Bill, when your networth is the same as the average taxpayer you may call on the government for action, until then either pay for it yourself, or better yet, just shut up.
“He’s a multi billionaire, let him fund it.”
Empty posturing has a much better risk/reward than shelling out his own money. That sort of thinking must go with becoming a billionaire.
$$$$$$ fear $$$$$ terror $$$$$$$$$$ oh no $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ oops $$$$$$$$$$$$$ run away $$$$$$$$$$$ we are all going to die $$$$$$$$$$
good show
Don’t Worry Be Happy! So tired of the fear mongering by elitist theorists. It seems no different to me then saying “This is a robbery, give us your money.” or more simply put “Your money or your life.” My fear is these folk would use the money to create a pandemic either on purpose or accidentally when trying to prevent one. By the way which pandemic are they trying to prevent?
Don’t the libs want the population to decline? Why would they be concerned about a measly 33 million? That’s half of Mao’s human toll.
Like I said, well short of their goal.
Bingo.
Isn’t it amazing how being a billionaire allows you to tell others what they should do. Leftist billionaires are ok and conservative billionaires are evil, right?
