Bill Gates said he warned Trump about the dangers of a pandemic in December 2016 before he took office

In December 2016, Bill Gates warned President Donald Trump about the threat posed to the US by pandemics,During a meeting at Trump Tower with the then president-elect, Gates discussed the dangers of infectious diseases and urged Trump to prioritize the country's preparedness efforts — advice he personally gave to other 2016 presidential candidates as well, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Gates' pitch for more public-health investment wasn't a new one by that point, either. In a 2015 TED Talk, Gates said viruses pose the"If anything kills over 10 million people over the next few decades, it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes," Gates said in the talk, adding that countries have spent massive amounts of money on avoiding nuclear war but hardly anything on "systems to stop epidemics.

Trump doesn’t know what the hells going on daily! He thinks injecting bleach is a good idea and thinks a virus can be stopped with antibiotics!!! ffs!! How would he remember 2016 😂😂

Did you ask US president to build MS, then if you knew such situation will come and you are top 10 richest people, what have you done to make people ready for such situation.. comment is fully based what’s been reported by bill gates is his own word, cause I do respect him.

So, what, EXACTLY, did Bill know and, EXACTLY, how long has Bill known it? Yes, when EXACTLY, did Bill know of a mysterious virus pandemic infecting the planet?

Who cares what he says or thinks, he's loosing it. Wait, maybe he's getting ready to run for president... LoL...

Based on what scientific facts in December 2016? there was no scientific evidence or credible research studies in December 2016 that suggested a pandemic will happen in 2020

Strange stories lately about Bill Gates.

He couldn't write a check for more ventilators? Oh right he bet his money on a vaccine...this from a guy that couldn't figure out viruses on a computer like Apple did. 🤦🏻 BillGatesBioTerrorist BillGatesVirus

How did he know that?

Ach (Loriot)

Strange that billionaire businessmen and top politicians were having prior knowledge of the pandemic (coronavirus) but nobody took enough precautions in the best interest of public. If anything kills over 10 million people over the next few decades, it is microbes, not war.

So he knows about the virus way back 2016 this guy is fraud

Is Bill Gates a having Doctor degree or Health inspector. World seeing his unethical views.None of his business interfering health care. Please go to check computer virus.

I’m reminded of Hannibal Lector every time I see or hear a story about Dr. Gates now

Gates helped create it.

Gates is also funding since 2017 research to create 1-shot Universal vaccine vs Influenza, which could protect vs many possible strains of Flu 👏

What was the name given to the pandemic by Bill Gates and/or Trump?

Joke?

Can we have the exact words of the conversation

Means he knew what is going on about covid-19 since 2016

Fuking Bill Gates! Forestalled.. A very convenient position when you are the customer of this infection.

Hmmmmmm?

Should have filled the stock pile of PPE and Ventilators.

Long time plans to bring him realDonaldTrump down but realDonaldTrump shall triumph!

Gee I wonder how he knew?
