What can we expect?
In the book, the billionaire describes positive and negative aspects for a possible next pandemic in the future. In addition, he warns that governments take preventive measures to avoid a new, even more serious pandemic.
Thus, the tycoon asks the main world economies to invest billions in preventing a new pandemic. According to him, the world needs to be prepared to deal with a possible health crisis and save lives.
Investing in research that contributes to the fight against diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV is the key point for Gates. Because, for him, the investment in these studies can accelerate the process of discovering vaccines for other pathogens.
The rapid vaccines
In the most serious year of the pandemic, the Bill Gates Foundation, together with Melinda Gates and the Wellcome Trust, was responsible for donating nearly $300 million to the Colition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (Cep). Together, they formed an agreement with the Covax Facility that provided vaccines to several low-income countries.
The organization's priority now is to reduce the preparation time for vaccines to 100 days. Finally, the central idea is that, if new pandemics occur, governments and scientists can prepare vaccines faster and faster. Good news for the future, isn't it?
