In the next report of the Gates Foundation, the co-founder of Microsoft named the only, in his opinion, effective way to cope with pandemics. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Bill Gates expressed confidence that only preliminary preparation can reduce the likelihood of a large-scale spread of various viruses. He called on the governments of all countries to focus funding on healthcare. In particular, according to the billionaire, it is necessary to bring the level of medicine to such a level that it will be possible to create any vaccine within 100 days after the onset of infection.
“Proper preparation includes the ability to create a vaccine in 100 days and produce enough drug for the next 100 days after its creation,” Bill Gates is sure.
In addition, one of the obvious problems he considers is the inequality of access of different countries to means of immunization of the population. Thus, the businessman noted a small number of vaccines delivered to African countries, the total volume of which is not much higher than that delivered for the vaccination campaign in California alone.
