Bill Gates Warns The "Next Pandemic" Is Coming After Covid-19 - And How To Stop It - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Bill Gates famously warned about the risk of a pandemic in 2015, and in 2021 he offers ideas on vaccines and preparing for the next pandemic. Gates stresses that spending in advance is actually quite a “bargain” compared to the cost of reacting to a pandemic once it ravages the world and cripples the economy.

Gates also discusses tech regulations, attacks on him and Dr. Fauci, systemic racism, tax policy and his reaction to being cited in so many rap songs, in this debut of The Summit Series, a collection of in-depth interviews with leaders at the summit of their fields by MSNBC’s Ari Melber. Aired on 01/28/2021.

Laurie Garrett wrote The Coming Plague in 1995


The definitive account of epidemics in our time, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning public heath expert Laurie Garrett.

A New York Times notable book

Unpurified drinking water. Improper use of antibiotics. Local warfare. Massive refugee migration. Changing social and environmental conditions around the world have fostered the spread of new and potentially devastating viruses and diseases—HIV, Lassa, Ebola, and others. Laurie Garrett takes you on a fifty-year journey through the world's battles with microbes and examines the worldwide conditions that have culminated in recurrent outbreaks of newly discovered diseases, epidemics of diseases migrating to new areas, and mutated old diseases that are no longer curable. She argues that it is not too late to take action to prevent the further onslaught of viruses and microbes, and offers possible solutions for a healthier future.

4. The plague is already here and has been here for decades

It is called human beings. It stems from multiple sources including but not limited to:

Cleaving to mythology regarding individualism and exceptionalism
Unwillingness to accept that other humans are human
“I’ve got mine and I don’t give a shit about anything else.”
Tribalism
Abuse of nature and natural resources

The list goes on and on...

I have to agree.
