In early November Bill Gates issued a warning that governments should prepare for smallpox terror attacks and future pandemics by investing billions into research and development.
Perhaps the most troubling thing about Gates, aside from the gleefulness when talking about pandemics, is the accuracy of his ‘crystal ball.’ He got into computing at the right time to dominate the market. Then he made the odd but oh so prophetic move into vaccines before a global pandemic – predicting an infectious virus was likely to kill millions of people across the globe five years before COVID-19 hit.
“If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war,” Gates said during a 2015 Ted Talk. “We’ve actually invested very little in a system to stop an epidemic. We’re not ready for the next epidemic.”
But Bill’s crystal ball was even more accurate still. In October 2019 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, an event that simulated an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted that leads to a severe pandemic. Talk about being right on the money, and what timing! It’s a record that would make Nostradamus pack up his quatrains and go home.
Bill also owns 242,000 acres of farmland, making him the largest private-farmland owner in the U.S. This just as food costs soar. But that’s for another article.
So when Bill warns us about smallpox being released by terrorists at airports we take heed, especially when the solution is to pour billions into a global task force to practice ‘germ games’. One wonders what policing powers ‘Doctor Gates’ would like to grant this global force.
Bill Gates has warned that governments must prepare for future pandemics and smallpox terror attacks by investing billions in research and development.Mr Gates made the warning during a Policy Exchange interview with the chair of the Health Select Committee Jeremy Hunt.
The Microsoft founder also called for the formation of a new billion-dollar World Health Organisation Pandemic Task Force.
While the research may be expensive, he said that it could also lead to other innovations, such as eradicating flu and the common cold.
He said that countries like the US and the UK must spend “tens of billions” to fund the research.
“I’m hoping in five years, I can write a book called, ‘We ARE ready for the next pandemic’, but it’ll take tens of billions in R&D – the US and the UK will be part of that”, he said.
“It’ll take probably about a billion a year for a pandemic Task Force at the WHO level, which is doing the surveillance and actually doing what I call ‘germ games’ where you practise.”
Mr Gates suggested that the “germ-games” could include preparing for acts of bioterrorism such as smallpox attacks on airports.
“You say, OK, what if a bioterrorist brought smallpox to 10 airports? You know, how would the world respond to that? There’s naturally-caused epidemics and bioterrorism-caused epidemics that could even be way worse than what we experienced today”, he said.
“There’s naturally-caused epidemics and bioterrorism-caused epidemics that could even be way worse than what we experienced today”
Look at that face. Does this look like the appropriate expression for someone talking about bioterrorists bringing smallpox into airports?
So now if we do suffer a bioterror attack with smallpox, we have this setup of it being found at a lab. Someone ‘goofed or broke the rules’, now we have another pandemic on our hands, as well as a scapegoat.
One more Gates prediction for you. In this creepy clip Gates says with the smirk of a Cheshire cat that you’re going to take the next pandemic ‘seriously.’
