Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is warning that the “next pandemic” will soon strike and is calling for “preparedness.”

Gates said the chance of another pandemic in the next four years is a source of great concern.

Concerns about the next pandemic, and how prepared the world is for it, have been rife since COVID-19 plunged the world into economic and healthcare turmoil amid the unprecedented breakout in 2020.

Gates, who has long been vocal about the threats of outbreaks of disease, is a major player in global health policies and initiatives.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Gates said he believes there is a 10-15 percent chance of a “natural pandemic” hitting in the next four years.

According to Gates, world governments should begin preparing now for a major virus outbreak.

“It’d be nice to think we’re actually more ready for that than we were last time, but so far we’re not,” Gates said.

When the reporter challenged him on this, he said: “We’re absolutely not [ready].”

However, Gates stopped short of clarifying how society can “prepare.”

“People, rather than having a consensus about what tools are missing, are mostly still replaying the various mistakes that were made,” Gates continued.

“So I wouldn’t say that we’re as far along as you’d expect after trillions of dollars and millions of lives have been lost.”

This is not the first time Gates has criticized how the world has handled the aftermath of the Covid pandemic.

In 2022, he wrote a book called “How To Predict the Next Pandemic” which called for stronger quarantine policies, more investment in disease monitoring, and increased vaccine research and development.
