Bill Gates: COVID-19 vaccine coming sooner than later

U.S. billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates said a vaccine for the rampaging COVID-19 disease may come between 18-24 months.

He said on NBC Today Show on Friday that there is evidence that this timeline may come to pass.

According to the Microsoft co-founder, usually a vaccine takes over five years.

There are steps including first testing in animals, then with humans on small, medium and large scales.


But with the coronavirus pandemic, “because of all the incredibly negative effects, the sooner the better, ”

“The best scientists [are] working hard on this,” Gates said.

“In fact, in the last few weeks I’ve seen signs that we may get to the optimistic side of that time projection” for a vaccine.

Gates who had warned about a possible virus pandemic since 2015, said that while many countries have coordinated testing on a national level during the coronavirus pandemic, the United States has not, and access to tests is “chaotic.”

On Friday, he called the coronavirus crisis “a nightmare,” saying that “the human-to-human respiratory spread is the scariest scenario.”

“I wish it had come, you know, five or 10 years later, then governments might have done the preparation to move quickly, like a few governments did,” Gates said.

“Many countries decided that at the national level, they would orchestrate the testing” for the virus, he said.

“That hasn’t happened in the United States. It might not happen. But, you know, the access to tests is just, you know, chaotic.”

Asked what he thinks about moves toward reopening by some states such as Georgia, Gates said he is “afraid we’ll have some people and some states that move too quickly and have to back off.”

But, he said, “it’s going to be awhile before things go back to normal.”

“I wish I could say that we’re halfway through. But I don’t think so.”

Taking vaccines is not compulsory, if you feel your immune system and genes are strong enough to withstand the effects of disease, you can go without them.

Just don't endanger other innocent people with your views.

Go and read Dr Judy Mikovits work and how people like Dr Fauci who has stood next to every US president since the 80s advocating for vaccine have deliberately tainted vaccines for decades. Of course vaccines are not compulsory, but isnt that why they create panic so people don't have a choice?

With this kind of thinking you portray, that's why Northern Nigeria was the epicenter of polio. Be mindful of articles you gulp and feed your mind with. They're just meant to confuse you like the way you're already reasoning.

That is just your opinion about me. There are so many other reports that corroborate with hers. You might also consider minding the kind of information you gulp, if you gulp any at all.
