Billionaire Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, has revealed that he informed Donald Trump to prepare for pandemic weeks before Trump became the U.S. president.
Gates, who is funding different companies in the production of a vaccine, has been vocal about the Coronavirus pandemic since it broke out in February in the US, and has granted numerous interviews recently to talk about the disease that has now killed over 80,000 people in the US.
Gates met with then-President-elect Trump at Trump Tower in New York City in December 2016 and has now revealed that he made his pitch of a soon coming pandemic to Trump as well as his opponent in the presidential race, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Gates speaking to the Wall Street Journal, lamented that he did not do more to alert the world of the dangers of a fast-spreading infectious disease.
'Looking back i wish I had done more to call attention to the danger' he said.
According to the Journal Bill Gates warned Trump that the biggest potential killer the world faced wasn’t war, but a pandemic. He urged world leaders to build national defenses against new infectious diseases.
‘I feel terrible.’
‘The whole point of talking about it was that we could take action and minimize the damage.’
"If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war,’ Gates said at the time.
‘Not missiles, but microbes.’
‘Next time, we might not be so lucky,’ the multi-billionaire philanthropist said.
Gates urged Western governments to view pandemics the same way they view military threats.
He noted that while countries run drills known as ‘war games’ to prepare for future military conflict, countries should also run simulations known as ‘germ games’ to be better prepared for widespread illness.
Gates warned: ‘We've invested a huge amount in nuclear deterrents, but we've invested very little in a system to stop epidemics. We are not ready for the next epidemic.’
The billionaire has now spent hundreds of millions of dollars to find faster ways to develop vaccines and create disease-tracking systems.

Bill Gates must have something to do with this pandemic else why would he be warning presidential candidates as far back as 2016 when he was not even an incoming-adviser to any of the candidates? This can not just be attributable to his genius; he must be an active planner in the whole plot but it seems the adventure went horribly wrong! But I think he has gone too far this time! Or he wants to overtake Jeff Bezos to be the richest man in the world again? So here is the trick: create a really big problem in the world that has every leader scratching their heads and economies on their knees, turn around and create a solution that every country in the world needs and then presto...milk the nations of billions of dollarsand smile all the way to the bank! God being so Powerful and Mighty as always, and to prove He alone can create perfect things, the virus mutated from its initial structure and that has Bill Gates and his co-conspirators confused and totally at sea concerning the twist and that is why we are here! But God is still the same yesterday, today and forever God is watching you, Bill Gates!
@Don Biko - Not to defend Bill. But according to the story, not that he was damn sure but he spoke to both Trump and Hillary as presidential candidates.
If he Bill knew of any pending virus and the possibility of Trump becoming a president, then, he is a planner in the entire game.
Has Gate become a prophet of a kind or a soothsayer to alert President Trump and the world at large of an impending pandemic and has gone ahead to invest billions of dollars in the research for a vaccine in advance if he is not an accomplice in the origin of the pandemic? For him to have given such an alert is a clear indication that he is part of a grand masterplan to eliminate 10million of the world's population. He and his co-conspirators should know that "he that rolls a stone the stone shall roll back to him." And he digs a pit shall fall into it.
God's counsel shall stand.
Pandemic prophet? We are yet to know what this so called philanthropist is up to. The world should prepare for more infectious diseases outbreak? Is it now targeted at Africa? The questions are endless.one is for sure bill gate cannot change GOD's plans for humanity inspire of his wealth.I guess he Will manufacture for Africa a unique virus.God is alive and humans would always remain humans irrespective of their classes.
bill Gates is evil an agent of satan.he is not a medical doctor yet all what he does is to help to produce vaccines
This raises so many questions: Why were you so damn-sure Trump would be a president and why did you have to have such a discussion with someone who was uniquely unfit for president? Is it because you were involved in bringing about both pandemics: First by getting Trump elected and second by getting this virus developed and having it unleashed(as being alleged by conspiracy theorists) so you can gain financially from your "new-found love" :vaccines? All these just can't be mere coincidence! We are watching you and we have a God who is Mighty!
