Bill Gates has warned that the world’s emergency response systems are not yet strong enough to cope with a deadly flu epidemic – one he is crossing his fingers will not arise in the next 10 years.
The Microsoft co-founder said the Ebola and Zika virus crises showed that global health infrastructure had room for improvement, the BBC reported.
The philanthropic Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation counts tackling disease, including pneumonia, malaria and polio, among its objectives.
Mr Gates told Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer for England, on the Today programme:
“When we’ve seen Ebola or even now Zika, we realise we still haven’t done enough.
“Our ability to create new drugs and vaccines quickly where we have an emerging disease, our emergency response system where we get people in and try and stop these epidemics – we don’t have a strong enough system.”
He added: “I cross my fingers all the time that some epidemic like a big flu doesn’t come along in the next 10 years.
“I do think we’ll have much better medical tools, much better response, but we are a bit vulnerable right now if something that spread very quickly, like, say, a flu that was quite fatal,
“That would be a tragedy and new approaches should allow us to reduce that risk a lot.
“There’s a lot of discussion right now about how do we respond in an emergency. How do we make sure that the regulatory and the liability, organisational boundaries don’t slow us down?”
OF COURSE ITS NOT………… SINCE ALL THE WEALTH IS IN THE HANDS OF A WICKED 1%, THERE WILL BE NO HELP OR QUARTER FOR THE POPULATION THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH A GMO FLU THAT IS PURPOSFULLY DISTRIBUTED……………….BY THE GATES FOUNDATION…….
Mother Nature’s way of culling the herd…..Bring it on!
OK fine. Now we all know who was responsible in the event of a biogenic plague release. Don’t we???
Bill, you, the murder of people, using your ill begotten gains, would love to see, even help develop a flu strain that would kill off hundreds of thousands of people, as well as a vaccine that will kill them.
GOOD GRIEF “TOEJAM”… MOTHER NATURE MY ASS……………………
“I cross my fingers all the time that some epidemic like a big flu doesn’t come along in the next 10 years.”
