Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has predicted a pandemic for several years. Now, he calls the threat of bioterrorism using a virus engineered to fight wars.
Derek Muller's YouTube channel 'Veritasium' interviewed Gates with the question of what issues humans will face in the future. He answered that the number one was climate change, he even predicted that this would cost more victims than the current pandemic.
"Then, with regard to pandemics is something that people don't like to talk about, which is bioterrorism, someone who wants to do damage can engineer a virus. So that means, the possibility of this happening is greater than that which occurs naturally like the current pandemic," he explained.
Previously, Bill Gates predicted the threat of a pandemic in 2015 on the Ted Talk show. He said governments around the world may not be prepared to deal with this pandemic.
"If something kills more than 10 million people in the next decade, it's likely to be a viral infection rather than a war," Gates said at the event.
"We are actually investing very little in the existing systems to stop the epidemic. We are not ready for another pandemic," he continued.
The father of three children also often reminds the government to disburse billions of funds to prevent the spread of pandemics in the future. He believes, the world is experiencing challenges where the virus is growing faster so humans need tools that support life safety. Thus launched Marca, Friday (28/1/2022).
