Bill Gates predicts another global pandemic

Date:

Microsoft CEO, Bill Gates is warning that if the world manages to avoid the war, another global pandemic is a very real possibility within the next 25 years.

Gates stated this in an interview with CNBC’s Make It programme.

“A lot of unrest in today’s age could spark a major war.

“If we avoid a big war … then, yes, there will be another pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years,” he said, citing Fox News Digital.

According to the report, Gates, after seeing the ill-preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic, joined the league of scientific minds who fear how the world might fare if another global health emergency were to sweep through the population.

Though the origins of coronavirus remain disputed, experts insist a pathogen could eventually jump from animals to humans and bring about a new illness.

Gates told CNBC saying that, “The country that the world expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations,” speaking of the United States.

The Billionaire authored a book in 2022 on the subject called, “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic”.

In the book, he addressed shortcomings in readiness to handle the effects of widespread illnesses, including enhanced quarantine techniques and investment in vaccine research, according to the report.
