Bill Gates Warns of Another Pandemic Within 25 Years
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, has issued a cautionary warning about the likelihood of another global pandemic within the next 25 years, provided the world avoids a large-scale war.
Speaking in an interview with CNBC’s Make It program, Gates expressed concerns about the growing global unrest and its potential to lead to a major conflict.
However, he pointed out that if a major war is averted, a future pandemic remains a serious possibility.
Gates’ perspective is informed by the world’s unpreparedness during the COVID-19 pandemic, which revealed vulnerabilities in global health systems.
Reflecting on the lessons from the pandemic, Gates has joined other scientific and public health experts in expressing concern over how the world might respond to another health crisis.
Although the origins of the coronavirus remain a topic of debate, Gates and many experts believe that another pandemic could arise from a pathogen jumping from animals to humans, leading to a new infectious disease.
In the interview, Gates also addressed the United States’ response to COVID-19, noting that the country, which had been expected to lead by example, did not meet global expectations in its handling of the crisis.
His observations align with the themes of his 2022 book, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic, where he outlined strategies to improve global preparedness for future health emergencies.
In the book, Gates emphasized the need for enhanced quarantine measures, investment in vaccine research, and improved systems for managing the spread of diseases.
His warning serves as a reminder that despite the challenges of the past, more work is needed to ensure the world is better equipped for future pandemics.

Erik ten Hag, the former Manchester United manager, is reportedly being considered as a future candidate to manage Borussia Dortmund, with the Dutchman being closely linked to the Bundesliga club since his departure from Old Trafford last October.
Although currently out of work, Ten Hag has been a regular visitor to Dortmund and has spent time with the club’s technical director, Sven Mislintat.
Sky Germany revealed that the former Ajax coach was given a tour of Dortmund’s business area, and he also had discussions with Mislintat during his visit.
Ten Hag was even in attendance for Dortmund’s recent 3-2 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, a match that added to the club’s struggles this season.
While Dortmund currently have Nuri Sahin at the helm, the club’s management is reportedly keeping an eye on the situation.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing him of failing to promptly disclose his ownership of more than 5% of Twitter ahead of his acquisition of the company in 2022.
According to the SEC, Musk began purchasing Twitter shares early in 2022, surpassing the 5% threshold on March 14, 2022.
Under securities laws, Musk was required to disclose his holdings within 10 days, but he didn’t reveal that he owned 9% of Twitter until April 4, which was 11 days later than the legal deadline.
The delay in disclosure is said to have led to a 27% jump in Twitter’s share price after Musk made the announcement.
The SEC also claims that Musk’s actions resulted in an underpayment of at least $150 million for the shares he bought during that period.
The SEC is now seeking to have Musk repay the $150 million, plus additional penalties.
In response, Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, defended his client, insisting that Musk had “done nothing wrong.”
Spiro also accused the SEC of running a “multi-year campaign of harassment” against the billionaire.
