Beginning his interview with Bloomberg’s John Micklethwait, Gates touched on the global vaccine rollout, complaining that in some “sub-Saharan African countries where the epidemic has not been as visible, demand for the vaccine is challenging to generate,” adding, “but we’ll do the best we can on that.”
Of course, the Gates Foundation head never mentioned how or why African nations with low Covid numbers would need to be vaccinated against the virus.
Regarding the next year of Covid, Gates said, “The death rate and the severe disease rates ought to be coming down dramatically, and by next summer getting to be quite a bit lower than the average seasonal flu level is assuming there’s no surprise variants, which right now is unlikely but can never be ruled out.”
Micklethwait oddly said Covid “is like the flu” during the next question, which is strange considering the grief many people received for making similar comparisons last year.
Next, Gates praised China for stopping Covid early, calling it a “huge blessing” before admitting the low amount of natural immunity in their population will force the communist nation to “drive their vaccination coverage up dramatically before they drop the wall” of strict Covid lockdowns and regulations.
Micklethwait noted many people assume China is not telling the truth about their Covid numbers, but he said that “even if they fibbed a bit, they’re still amazingly good.”
The Bloomberg editor-in-chief mentioned that Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia have good covid numbers, but are starting to “open up” unlike the Chinese who will likely be locked down for another year.
At one point during the interview, Gates complained that attendees of COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland were taking their masks off during the climate conference’s receptions.
Continuing, Micklethwait asked what the world can do to prevent another pandemic once Covid is brought down to flu-like levels.
Gates said countries need to engage in “germ games” in order to fund more Big Pharma solutions to the next epidemic.
