> "At the start of the pandemic, I noticed people sharing Gates’s 2015 talk. The general sentiment was one of remorse and lamentation: the tech-prophet had predicted the future for us! If only we had heeded his warning! I wasn’t so sure. It seems to me that Gates’s prediction and proposed solution are at least part of what landed us here. I don’t mean to suggest that Gates’s TED talk is somehow directly responsible for the lack of global preparedness for Covid." It seems more probable that Gates' enthusiasm for preparing for and preventing this future did indeed hasten it. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) is a kingmaker and gatekeeper for biomedical research worldwide via its massive network of associated NGO funding agencies. Gates is one of the primary sponsors of the GAVI initiative to push vaccine research. The development of vaccines is, ironically, a primary motivator for gain-of-function research. The connections between NIH and gain-of-function at the WiV are pretty well-established at this point. And the connections between BMGF and Dr. Fauci are also on the public record. Bill Gates is also an important player in the extremely influential globalist institutions, the WHO and the WEF (among others) and his 'war gaming pandemics' was absolutely something that was funded and organized by these supranational organizations. This is relevant here because there is the pandemic (the pathogen) and the Pandemic (the response). In this Pandemic there was a coordinated set of policies distributed via the WHO and WEF to its partner nation states for implementation. If you ever wondered how so many different countries in different places with different populations could respond almost in lockstep, checkout Operation Lockstep, one of Gates' beloved "war games". Without attributing to any one person too much power to affect the world, Gates in particular is a meddlesome, megalomaniacal billionaire who seems to pop up in all the places where global governance by technocratic elites is pushed on an unsuspecting population. It's hard to resist the impulse to attribute his obsession with viruses to some kind of psycho-drama going back to his Microsoft days working in vain to secure Windows from software viruses. Let us hope at least some of his more ruthless business instincts are safely in the past.
