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.”

13:25 it's kind of weird how the continent of Africa did so well fighting against the virus with 80%+ of the population not getting the jab. Or is it?

When I was a teenager, I used to love TED talks. Now they make me feel anxious and paranoid. Are we preparing for something else? What in the world is making everything change so damn quick? There is so much happening in the world right now, it's like an informational white noise every second. How to stay motivated to do anything when all you hear is straight depressive, without a hint of hope? I'm starting to get scared by the Internet and all these social media

This man is not correct, the right steps to prevent future pandemics is to stop all gain of function research completely.

Just the way he laughs at certain important key things he says honestly tells you everything you need to know.

If you get rid of colds and flus, you weaken the immune system. We saw this during the lockdowns when children became susceptible to pathogens they routinely coped robustly with because their immune systems were less powerful due to the lack of exposure to seasonal viruses and infections. The little bugs keep the system toned and up to date with variations and this contributes to overall healthy, and one of the reasons immunotherapy is one of the best tools for treating cancer patients. I’m sure it’s more profitable for those invested in rna vaccines to outsource immunity to pharmaceutical companies but keeping the body healthy is more about good health - food, water reducing stress good nutrition that support the immune system than it is. about relying on more and more shots. And I understand that many of the ingredients that are now linked to serious health issues would be in these nasal or transdermal versions too - genetic material and LNPS.

The future is a lot easier to predict when your the one creating it and profiting from it.
