We Can Make COVID-19 the Last Pandemic | Bill Gates | TED



Building a pandemic-free future won’t be easy, but Bill Gates believes that we have the tools and strategies to make it possible — now we just have to fund them. In this forward-looking talk, he proposes a multi-specialty Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization (GERM) team that would detect potential outbreaks and stop them from becoming pandemics. By investing in disease monitoring, research and development as well as improved health systems, Gates believes we can “create a world where everyone has a chance to live a healthy and productive life — a life free from the fear of the next COVID-19.”

  1. Bill is a Ugenisist!
    We don't want or need your help!
    What we went through was designed and implemented by YOUR elite club members.
    All you care about is PROFIT no matter who pays the ultimate price.

  2. I recommend the fat cats who are afraid from death to start spending their money, because we will not vaccinate or go to war for their own good. And if we extinct i wish them great feature with their robot vacuum cleaners. Or go build a spaceship and fly to Mars or whatever planet you want we're fine with it.

  3. Yeah and your wicked jealous and envious of me and your prideful and despiseful of me because you won't give me a billion dollars and you have all that money you son of a gun and you can't even help a guy like me out that just wants to live it up and I'm Christian on top of that and you don't like me cuz I'm Hispanic so if you do want to do something good give me a hundred million or a billion or else you're just a bum😬

  4. Every time I get the chance I'm going to keep telling you and these messages you don't want to see me shine because I'm Hispanic and I'm always going to say that unless if you really have a heart and give me a billion dollars which I don't think you will but if you ever do then I'll stop thinking you're jealous of me

  5. Thank you Bill Gates. You have awaken so many people, that our planet is over populated and we all need to find our inner eugenics sprit to bring into a new world order. We should all embrace communism. What a beautiful world it would be for the wealthy. Just a handful of people to be your servants. How lovely..

  6. Bill's fire analogy is a good one. Here's how it played out: A house is on fire. Fire department show up and say "The only way to fight this fire is for us to take a year to develop a new system to prevent fires." Meanwhile, some smart neighbors said "Hey, water and sand have worked on other fires in the past" and started fighting the fire. The fire department clamped down on them hard, had them silenced and arrested, and forced everyone to wait on the new prevention system, which ended up working very poorly.
