Bill Gates, Covid, Climate

[Pancho95]

We cant predict future based on his opinions. Very smart guy with very bad intentions. Like he cars about vaccine etc. He is no1 enemy of the USA.

The last bits are quite hilarious, lol. But seriously though, even without bill gates saying such things in the past, it is pretty easy to predict that these things are bound to happen sooner or later. And trust me, governments and big people know about this already but chose and still chooses to do nothing since they are not that affected. And until people on top try to do something about this, history will only be repeating itself and be even worse than before. I really do pity the generations to come.

Yes, I know. It's depressing. They don't listen to 'normal' people, and I just hoped that they might listen a bit more to one of the richest and most successful people on the planet, who is ultra-high-profile, and especially given his very public prediction of the Covid pandemic.

The fundamental issue is that governments are short-termist and are reactive rather than proactive. They're generally elected for just a few years before the next election cycle, and so have no incentive to fix anything that will become a problem in the future, even if there's 100% chance that it will become a huge, overwhelming problem.

I am an appreciator of Bill Gates and believe he's working to solve big global issues in earnest, from a point of reference and with methodologies  that have been successful for him

Didn't care for him when he was building Microsoft and gobbling up every other good piece of software (Netscape;-) but began to change my mind when watching him in the congressional hearings (20 years ago ?) and when he got Rotary over a major hurdle in getting people vaccinated (15 ish years).

His new book on climate change is in my wish list along with Vandana Shiva's: Oneness vs. the 1%: Shattering Illusions, Seeding Freedom


in relatable terms Bill Gates= Microsoft   Vandana Shiva= Linux/Ubuntu----->open source seeds, down to earth decentralized solutions



Vandana went up against Monsanto and is an activist in one of my areas of interest (water)

She's brilliant,  this one from 2015  is still relevant and totally worth the 30+ mins

Why would he be enemy #1 of the USA? So he is more dangerous than some terrorist leader? I am not so sure about, it is his own country. He lives there, his family lives there. Why would he destory it? People just try to use him as a scapegoat. There are a lot of rich families working behind closed doors who are trying to influence things and no one reads about it.

To be fair, Bill Gates was not the only one projecting that a global pandemic would happen killing millions. The world is pretty much due for a super virus that is highly transmissible with a high death rate.

All things considered, COVID has a 99.9 percent survival rate. Ebola, on the other hand, has a 50-60 percent survival rate. This could have been a lot worse.

But yeah, Bill Gates gets demonized a lot by the conspiracy theorists, nothing new.

Ebola is not transmitted so easily as Covid19 does. Ebola is existing for a while and it's not moving from Western Africa. When it comes to Gates, conspiracy theories are around him because he is so much promoted by media. Gates thinks that, gates say this etc etc. So he is easy target for theories.

What if his TED TALK in 2015, is an information he acquired (Backdoor) that he can't discussed in the mass, so he just put it as a warning instead. We can see it as an information only the powerful persons in the world handle, and as he is part of the worlds richest persons.

We can also conspired it as they have some round table consisting of powerful peoples, following a treaty of disclosing information and intentions, good or bad.

The transmissibility/virulence trade-off does intuitively make a lot of sense... the more deadly a thing is, the less likely an infected person is to pass it on to others. If someone is incapacitated with Ebola, they're very obviously sick and precautions are taken around them. Or they die and the virus dies with them. Compare with someone with mild Covid coughing and sneezing it out around the community.

It seems reasonable, but from the latest meta-analysis I've found, I don't think the evidence is yet conclusive. More study (or study of studies) needed!

There have been more than a few attempts to inform us masses for at least 15 years (*that I'm directly aware of), "we" weren't interested.

warning "cars can kill..."

idiots: i got hit by a car.. i wont sue the driver instead ill sue the guy that warned me that i can get hit.


when idiots get told a warning.. ignore it. and when it then happens deny the cause, deny the event, deny the damage.. and just want to argue with the messenger.... it makes me think idiots are the next problem that need to be handled
