Gates stated this in an interview with CNBC’s Make It
programme.
“A lot of unrest in today’s age could spark a major war.
“If we avoid a big war … then, yes, there will be another
pandemic, most likely in the next 25 years,” he said, citing Fox News Digital.
According to the report, Gates, after seeing the
ill-preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic, joined the league of scientific
minds who fear how the world might fare if another global health emergency were
to sweep through the population.
Though the origins of coronavirus remain disputed, experts
insist a pathogen could eventually jump from animals to humans and bring about
a new illness.
Gates told CNBC saying that, “The country that the world
expected to lead and be the model fell short of those expectations,” speaking
of the United States.
The Billionaire authored a book in 2022 on the subject
called, “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic”.
In the book, he addressed shortcomings in readiness to
handle the effects of widespread illnesses, including enhanced quarantine
techniques and investment in vaccine research, according to the report.
