What’s likeliest to kill more than 10 million human beings in the next 20 years? It’s probably not what you’d think. For much more, read Ezra Klein’s feature story: http://bit.ly/3cyulAe
UPDATE: Watch our 2020 follow-up interview with Gates: https://youtu.be/jLbJayQygzw
There’s something out there that’s as bad as war, something that kills as many people as war, and Bill Gates doesn’t think we’re ready for it.
“Look at the death chart of the 20th century,” he says, because he’s the kind of guy that looks at death charts. “I think everybody would say there must be a spike for World War I. Sure enough, there it is, like 25 million. And there must be a big spike for World War II, and there it is, it’s like 65 million. But then you’ll see this other spike that is as large as World War II right after World War I, and most people, would say, ‘What was that?'”
“Well, that was the Spanish flu.”
In a 1990 paper on “The Anthropology of Infectious Disease,” Marcia Inhorn and Peter Brown estimated that infectious diseases “have likely claimed more lives than all wars, noninfectious diseases, and natural disasters put together.”
Infectious diseases are our oldest, deadliest foe.
And they remain so today. “In a good year, flu kills over 10,000 Americans,” says Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “In a bad year, it kills over five times that. If we have a pandemic, it will be much worse. People think the H1N1 flu wasn’t so bad. But more than 1,000 American kids died from H1N1!”

Bill Gates saw the coronavirus coming. Watch our follow up interview, filmed 5 years after this one, for his thoughts on where we go from here: https://youtu.be/jLbJayQygzw
Gates creates the illusion of a pandemic to suit his own agenda! All of a sudden, a guy who has been talking about extreme over population for decades wants to save everyone with a “vaccine”……a “vaccine” that has skipped 95% of its safety trials and has no liability to those who manufactured it! Oh and lastly, Gates took out patents on those “vaccines” in 2019…..before the pandemic came along! But this was never planned lolololol
He has the money to create all this. Don’t be fooled. These are all man made. He is the devil in the flesh. If you don’t have the money he has, you to are at risk. Just know! He funded this.
People are over exaggerating COVID. This disease he’s talking about isn’t COVID it has to be something else. Spanish flu killed way more people, faster, with a way Lower population.
what the heck how could this very smart man alongside pretty much all scientists and researchers in this field at that time predict COVID, what the heck??!?! who could've guessed we should trust science?!?!?! i better make a funny youtube comment about how bill gates (somehow) predicted COVID, that would be pretty funny and relatable!!!

Hey uhhh, about the outbreak larger than ebola….
What a bad lier
If only trump spent the money he does on military for corona it would of been over
i remember being in sixth grade seeing this video and being like "i highly doubt ill ever be in a spanish flu type scenario"
i think like 50% chance of a pandemic hapening in my life 2020 ill see you soon!
Russians: Hellloooo Siberia
Spanish flu is made in America not in Spain
Bill Gates predicted COVID-19
Lol
Irionic right?
This didn’t age well
i was like why is he talking about ebola and not covid and then i noticed the "5 years ago"
COVID HIT
Bill gates
"They called me a madman."
Corona virus pandemic: happens
Bill Gates: it wasn’t me i swear
"Philanthropist" Ha! All of the charities he donates to are just there to launder his money.
God, Jesus, us 🇺🇸
He should be afraid of meeting God!
Bill Gates is extremely afraid of people armed with Custard Pies.
People are over exaggerating COVID. This disease he’s talking about isn’t COVID it has to be something else. Spanish flu killed way more people, faster, with a way Lower population.
Youtube loves rubbing our faces huh?
"What will lead to end of the world?"
Politicians: Nuclear war
Scientists: New pandemic
Ecologists: Global warming
Me: All of those at the same time.
Bill gates really intelligent
Man was he right about us not be ready for a pandemic!
Who stopped watching to check the comments after he said “the odds of a epidemic far worst then Ebola is maybe 50%”
what the heck how could this very smart man alongside pretty much all scientists and researchers in this field at that time predict COVID, what the heck??!?! who could've guessed we should trust science?!?!?! i better make a funny youtube comment about how bill gates (somehow) predicted COVID, that would be pretty funny and relatable!!!
This man is one of the MOST evil people in the world.
