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.”

    lol, look at the absoute garbage viewing figures for all the TED videos. All in the low five figures. That’s pathetic.
    TED us to have truly inspirational people give great talks. Now it’s mostly woke propaganda and the engagement with the TED YT channel reflects that.
    I remember the early days of TED where their talks were insightful and illuminating. Now the organisation is just trading on its name to pander to wokery.
    So good to see it’s viewing figures in the toilet.

      He’s not practicing health care. He’s acting as a spokesperson because he funds vaccine research. You don’t need to have a PhD to talk about a topic. If he has anything wrong then an expert can correct him

    You surprise me Mr Gates. What if someone created a gain of function virus e.g. bird flu around the world in the next ten years? If we allowed doctors to treat patients at the beginning of covid 19, there wouldn’t have been a pandemic as you know.

    If we had a better understanding of health and illness and focused more on non-vaccine, non pharma-patented methods of supporting immunity then the illnesses would be less deadly and less threatening. Bill is fixated on a narrow focused, mechanistic view of disease that is out of touch with the more holistic systems oriented approach to wellness. He is deeply invested in vaccines as a panacea for disease (financially and psychologically), when life has shown that people have just developed more chronic and deadly illnesses as vaccines have been mass distributed for treatable acute illnesses. You can’t end the threat of pandemics in the way Bill imagines. But he is good at giving a talk that fits the TED formula, which is sort of the elevator pitch version of sharing ideas with the public – not a forum for giving a deep or thorough explanation of any topic.

    In 6 a.D the Roman Empire was only 33 years old and Augustus was the FIRST ever emperor of Rome, so, quite likely the creation of “vigiles urbani” – the first ever team of state funded and disciplined firefighters – was never attempted before “in the history of the Empire”, just because the Roman Empire did not exist before Augustus.

    As accurate as PCR tests? They were NOT accurate and we KNEW they were not accurate. The cycles were too high. There should never be a global team that overrides a nation’s sovereignty. Vaccines were not the miracle. You said yourself that they didn’t prevent infection or transmission and the data is showing that the risk may be far more than was anticipated to long term health. It is also showing that those vaccinated have a higher risk of getting future infections along with a host of other side effects including death. They will make people healthier? Could it be that the best investment you ever made (200/1) is something you would like to continue?

    On Maslow pyramid of needs we have different needs. Our self awareness is different. Our cognitive functions are different. Our age and power of prefrontal cortex is different.
    For example adults have cognitive functions like ‘Cognition’ and ‘Perception’. On Maslow pyramid of needs we are on a mountain top, which is opposite from whose who are on physiological needs. Our brains on Erik Erikson psychosocial stages of development are mature and is developed like 65+. Where are many ways to identified individuals biological development. And i will tell you a secret parents doesn’t want to kill their children. They love them and want good for them. What is happening and why it feels like parents want harm for us is called ‘psychological projection’.

    What we really need is to rebuild trust. Do not favor one single owner of a patent in case of pandemic. But make needed patents open source ASAP. We need as well to have an open and transparent global system for adverse events reporting and controlling of clinical trials. We need to protect and assure MDs that they can work as per ethics. Then the society will have more trust to outbreak prevention mechanisms.
    After current failure the trust in global institutions is really limited. Really limited.
