In March 18, 2015 at a TED Talk in Vancouver, in his presentation Bill Gates warned the world that we’re not ready for the next pandemic. A highly infectious virus is likely to kill 10 million people in the next decade rather than a war! [4] – WATCH
The proposed simulation of pandemics, term “Germ games” was released into the lexicon, and by January 2016 was picked up by Francis Collins at the NIH, and discussed behind closed doors at Davos 2016. [7, 8]
In April 2020 the BBC commented to Bill that his 2015 TED Talk was “extraordinarily close to what is happening now”!
On the same speaker list with Bill was his GAVI CEO Seth Berkley who shared that “It seems like we wait for a disastrous disease outbreak before we get serious about making a vaccine for it.” [3] Also on the speakers list were Paul Tudor Jones II on Rethinking Capitalism [6], Dan Ariely on Society’s Growing Inequality [5].
Interestingly in the same TED2015 “Truth and Dare” program Marina Abromovic gave a presentation. The same “artist” who Microsoft used in their April 2020 headset advertisement before they removed it. [1, 2]
In 2021 Bill Gates revisited his “Germ Games” narrative, urging the WHO to prepare for the next pandemic by playing. [9, 10]
