'We Were Lucky': Bill Gates Says Climate Change, Bioterrorism Are Now Greatest Threats to Humanity

American business magnate, philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in a 2015 Ted Talk notably warned that the world was unprepared to take on a “highly infectious virus” that was likely to kill “over 10 million people in the next few decades.”

After months of criticism related to his COVID-19 vaccine investments, Gates is now sounding the alarm over two disasters that could have a tragic impact on humanity: climate change and bioterrorism. 

The American business magnate also asserted that the world got lucky with the novel coronavirus’ case fatality rate.

More than 107 million people around the world have tested positive for COVID-19 since the pandemic began and at least 2,362,410 have died in relation to the contagious disease, according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 dashboard. 

Gates’ recent warnings appear to be a continuation of past bioterrorism concerns, as he told American health-oriented news website STAT in 2018 that a “pandemic, natural or created by bioterror,” could “cause an excess – in a single year – of 10 million deaths.” 

He also raised concerns about bioterrorists possibly accessing nuclear weapons. 

The American business magnate’s comments of a possible epidemic or pandemic date back to his 2015 Ted Talk. 

“If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war,” he asserted in April 2015. “We’ve actually invested very little in a system to stop an epidemic. We’re not ready for the next epidemic.”

“Is this really science? Not even close. It’s oligarchy, and all the billionaires are participating in it. The tech companies announced early they would not allow anyone to criticize this vaccine, and anyone who did would be kicked off their platforms right away. Corporate media then took it upon themselves to enforce this rule,” Carlson asserted during a February broadcast of his Fox opnion show.
