It’s going to require a global cooperative effort like the world has never seen."  It could be done in "as little as 9 months". "Safety is exactly what it sounds like: is the vaccine safe to give to people? Some minor side effects (like a mild fever or injection site pain) can be acceptable, but you don’t want to inoculate people with something that makes them sick." "Efficacy measures how well the vaccine protects you from getting sick. Although you’d ideally want a vaccine to have 100 percent efficacy, many don’t. For example, this year’s flu vaccine is around 45 percent effective."  [Well that failed, the vaccinated turned out more likely to get sick, any "protective" effects were short lived] "... we might end up with [a vaccine] that only stops you from getting sick..> READ MORE

In an interview with Jeremy Hunt on November 7 2021, Bill Gates comments about his post-2015 pandemic preparedness "prophecies" that weren't heeded with Ebola, but COVID-19 pandemic allowed for R&D budgets to focus on things we didn't have. [1, 2] He recounts what wasn't achieved in this COVID-19 pandemic: "we didn't have vaccines that blocked transmission...we need a new way of doing the vaccines"..."we didn't get much by way of therapeutics"..."we didn't get the diagnostics up and running in order to achieve, well at least Australia and New Zealand [both island continents] showed that competent management could keep the death rate down pretty dramatically".  It will take tens of billions in R&D" He also plants the seed to remind us about the threat of bio-terrorism such as smallpox being brought into airports. He continues setting the stage for the next pandemic preparedness:  having the  WHO "global pandemic taskforce", all in preparation for the next pandemic! "Making vaccines cheap [mRNA platform], building big factories, eradicating the flu, getting rid of the common cold, making vaccines jut a little patch you put on your arm, things that will be incredibly beneficial even in years when we don't have pandemics" Remember for every..> READ MORE

Bill Gates predicts a large and lethal pandemic in our lifetime

Bill Gates writes in a NEJM perspective on May 31, 2018, "Thanks to better vaccines" we've made headway on diseases. "Yet there is one area where the world isn’t making much progress: pandemic preparedness. This failure should concern us all, because history has taught us there will be another deadly global pandemic. We can’t predict when, but given the continual emergence of new pathogens, the increasing risk of a bioterror attack, and the ever-increasing connectedness of our world [population growth] , there is a significant probability that a large and lethal modern-day pandemic will occur in our lifetime." "What the world needs is a coordinated global approach to pandemics that will work regardless of whether the next pandemic is a product of humans or of nature." The percentage of people who choose to get a seasonal influenza vaccine is fairly small, but modelling simulations suggest a "highly contagious and lethal airborne pathogen" could see "33 million people worldwide would die in just 6 months". [2 1/2 years into the COVID-19 pandemic 6.3 million deaths have been recorded worldwide] On May 29, 2018 the Gates foundation "launched a $12 million Grand Challenge ... to accelerate the development of a universal influenza..> READ MORE

Bill Gates: COVID-19 the “once-in-a-century pathogen we’ve been worried about”

On February 28, 2020, only eleven days after NIAID director Dr Fauci stated the risk is miniscule from this coronavirus, Bill Gates (who invests donates heavily to global health) warns in the NEJM perspective that: In the past week, Covid-19 has started behaving a lot like the once-in-a-century pathogen we’ve been worried about. I hope it’s not that bad, but we should assume it will be until we know otherwise. We need to save lives now while also improving the way we respond to outbreaks in general. Gates provides "two reasons that Covid-19 is such a threat": "First, it can kill healthy adults in addition to elderly people with existing health problems", with a current "case fatality risk around 1%" it is more severe that seasonal influenza (0.6%) "Second, Covid-19 is transmitted quite efficiently. The average infected person spreads the disease to two or three others — an exponential rate of increase.  There is also strong evidence that it can be transmitted by people who are just mildly ill or even presymptomatic."  MERS and SARS was spread "only by symptomatic people." "National, state, and local governments and public health agencies can take steps over the next few weeks to slow..> READ MORE

The initiative is managed by the "global health experts at the FNIH, the BMGF, the CIHR, and the Wellcome Trust" On the Scientific Board is Dr Anthony Fauci and a BMGF representative, who are "charged with identifying specific scientific or technological innovations that are likely to: Have a global impact Show high potential for feasibility Potentially remove a critical barrier to solving health problems" In 2007, the Gates Foundation launched Grand Challenges Explorations, a small scale funding initiative to "engage more of the world’s innovators more quickly."
