Bill Gates says the 'final hurdle' to a COVID-19 vaccine will be ensuring that people actually use it

of a coronavirus vaccine by January 2021 as part of its broader strategy around the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.

The urgency of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed 489,922 people around the globe and infected 9.6 million according to, means it could be challenging for scientists to spend a lot of time trialing vaccines with various age ranges and populations. "It's understandable that because of the urgency of this, the amount of time that you'll be out looking at it is just going to be less," Gates said when asked about the issue of vaccine hesitancy. "And so even for scientists really understanding, 'Ok, were the trial populations accounting for all of these different groups? How low does the age range go? . . .

Overall, Gates believes that "a lot of people" will be willing to take the vaccine and herd immunity could be achieved if between 70% and 80% of people do so. "It really could then exponentially drop the numbers," Gates said. "But we need that for the entire world if we're going to go back and have people taking vacations, international students, international sports events. So it'll take a while until we get this thing finished off on a global basis.

Lets not lose sight of the facts, this nonissue is destroying the world economy.

pure evil..we need to stop this lunatics

vaccine actually contains a virus, people who never got covid19 sars-cov they will get and number cases will increase & by the way realDonaldTrump is correct more testing increase cases

I have a legit question: Why is Bill Gates at the forefront of the virus. His knowledge is in tech not medicine. Why does everyone hang on his every word as if he was a epidemiologist.

Good luck with that Mr. Gates 😂

Who cares. He's not a doctor.

Devil

Correct! Don’t count on me to have any “fast track” anti- SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Prefer to keep my lockdown and safety measures in outings. Only when a vaccine produced by Israel or France developed the “right way” is proved effective & safe, I will use it

...under a threat to ruin their lives if they refuse to do so.

Lmao! Bill is mad

wow didn't even think about that as a challenge. he's right it is going to be a challenge.
