Bill gates warns of bio terrorism

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Pretty interesting comments and warnings from an uber elite guy.

If guys like Bill gates are giving out warnings it might be wise to stop and think about it.

Bioterrorists will come for the West with genetically modified KILLER viruses, Bill Gates warns


I bet he's got one hell of a bunker.

Doesn't even need to be terrorism. Some guy/tourist in Africa eats a monkey, gets Ebola or similar virus, takes and international flight, coughs, sneezes, etc. on everyone in his path...this is how doomsday begins.

The next killer virus will make the Spanish Flu of 1918 look like child's play. Growing up lots of kids were scared by movies with ghosts and monsters in them. Those never frightened me. You know what did? Outbreak.

Some of his philanthropy money might have financed it

The thing is, we have 7+ billion people on Earth and we do need a new plague to get us down to a good carrying population.

The humane way to do this is with a virus that sterilizes people so that only high IQ people with money can afford the procedures to breed and have kids. That's how you weed out the bad genetics and improve the race.

I wasn't planning on having kids anyway, lol.

The ability to create such a bio weapon becomes easier every year. Nuclear proliferation is easy to stop compared to bio weapons. Imagine when such a virus is as easy to make as a 3d printed gun.

The only hope isthat they all become just as easy to cure. It will really be like computer viruses, it could very well be that only the rich can afford to keep ahead of the script kiddies....

Not if their virus making equipment runs on Windows 10.

He's been pushing population reduction for a long time and there's been a lot of conspiracy about his "inoculation" efforts in shit hole countries. His PC software is virus friendly, I whole heartedly believe that philosophy also carries over to humans with him.

This is an old book now but can still make a person sweat.

Zombie and vampire fiction is in vogue today because people like to be scared. Sure I've read some of those books and occasionally there is a scene that does give you the shivers. I refuse to read that book. Not because I don't think it would be good but because I KNOW it will be give me night terrors.

He has a point here, with nukes buttons need to be pushed and that can stop. When a super bug is in the populous there is no turning off the threat. As far as the threat coming from terrorism, i think a scarier scenario would be a mishap at a government lab (CDC). The cover up/ and delays would be much more dangerous and deadly.

It would be like "The Stand". The scary thing about nuclear war is that the radiation would pervade the entire globe and while a limited exchange may not kill all of us, enough nukes going off would put enough radiation in the atmosphere to kill everyone except the roaches. At least with a bio weapon/virus, there would most likely be some immunity.
