NEW YORK (VINnews) — Microsoft founder Bill Gates, often accused of being responsible for COVID-19, has voiced his opinions on the pandemic as well as possible future pandemics in a new interview.

Gates spoke to CNBC at Germany’s annual Munich Security Conference on Friday and said that the danger of serious disease from COVID-19 has “dramatically reduced.” Gates said that the worst effects of the virus have faded as huge swathes of the global population have gained some level of immunity. Its severity has also waned with the latest omicron variant.

Gates said that this was more due to the virus’s spreading than to effective vaccines.

“The chance of severe disease, which is mainly associated with being elderly and having obesity or diabetes, those risks are now dramatically reduced because of that infection exposure,” he said.

However Gtes warned that a potential new pandemic was on the way and a vaccine would have to be rolled out much faster in order to combat it.

“We’ll have another pandemic. It will be a different pathogen next time,” Gates said.

But the Microsoft cofounder said he thought that if there was a rational response then “we’ll catch it early” and it “won’t go global like it did this time.”

Asked whether it was possible to prevent another pandemic altogether, Gates said that “If every country did what Australia did, then you wouldn’t be calling it a pandemic.”

Gates has become a prominent figure in the fight against COVID-19 by pledging billions to response efforts.

Before COVID-19 emerged, he predicted the world would suffer from a pandemic, along with notable disease and flu experts.

In a 2015 TED talk, Gates said the world was “not ready for the next epidemic.”

However due to his prescient warnings, Gates has been persistently accused by conspiracists of being responsible for the pandemic and somehow exploiting it to implant microchips in people.

In July 2020 Gates categorically denied the rumors, stating that “we need to get the truth out there.” Gates added that “I hope it’ll die down as people get the facts.”

Gates is set to publish a new book which will discuss how to combat pandemics as well as the conspiracy theories about Microsoft’s involvement in COVID-19.

As Dr. Zelenko said, we should take what Bill Gates says seriously. Not because he’s a prophet, but because he’s a criminal.

If there’s another pandemic it’s because he’s planning one. No other reason. And it’s really ironic that this guy gets up and gives medical advice and the works listens cuz he’s filthy rich. But when doctors and scientists go against the narrative- even ones with a long history of research and contributions to the medical field, they get ignored and ostracized.

It’s very odd to see this:
““We’ll have another pandemic. It will be a different pathogen next time,” Gates said.”

How is he so sure that there will be another pandemic? And why?

Very strange.

I don’t think anyone really believes that microchips were being injected. However, people definitely believe that he had a hand in the virus research. Gates, probably, along with Faucci and Faucci’s organization funded the research in the Wuhan lab. At least it would be believable. Why does a computer guy get involved with pandemics and even predicting them, unless he has prior knowledge.

The fact hat Bill Gates and Fauci have a free hand in creating these bio-weapons and they don’t even hide their intentions shows the extent that the US government and leaders around the world are involved in this attempt to kill humans through viruses and unsafe (it was never proven to be safe) shots. Bill Gates has openly said that we need to control the world’s population because it is too big. He’s a second Hitler.

He is evil. He said “if every country did what Australia did it wouldn’t be called a pandemic.” If every country stripped away the rights of its citizens then the world would be better off.
That is facism

And two years ago when someone just mentioned that Bill Gates had anything to do with a virus was called a conspiracy theorist.

I’m not buying his dreams, but anyway, why does he notify us about it? Is there anything we can do about it? Or he just likes to inflict fear in society?
