Bill Gates, expressing concerns about future pandemics and global conflicts, fears another pandemic is likely within the next 25 years.

He criticizes the West for being reactive rather than proactive, highlighting that lessons from COVID-19 are still not fully embraced.

Gates is disappointed with the U.S. response, stating it fell short of global expectations.

However, his view that the world isn’t learning from past failures seems repetitive and somewhat detached from concrete solutions.

While Gates hopes for more long-term thinking in health policy, his emphasis on familiar critiques—like the West’s delayed responses and lack of coordination—lacks new insights.

Despite his wealth and influence, Gates offers broad observations without addressing specific, actionable steps for change, Fortune has reported.

Global leaders like JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon and WHO experts share similar warnings, but Gates’ recurring themes risk sounding like alarms without clear answers.
