Bill Gates warned us about this pandemic 5 years ago and no one listened

In 2015, Bill Gates gave a speech at TED Talk where he said, "If we start directing our attention and resources on an outbreak, we can dramatically change the numbers just in the next few months." He also said that, "We tell everyone to 'get vaccinated now' as fast as we can. Unfortunately, it takes nearly six months to get a vaccine tested, approved, manufactured, and into peoples arms."<br><br>When this pandemic first started back in January, the USA and the rest of the world pretty much knew that this was gonna get out of hand quickly. We knew that a vaccine was not gonna be available for at least six months yet we still waited until March to take action against this.<br><br>This makes me wonder, what the hell was our government doing between the months of January and March? We knew that this was gonna get bad yet they didn't start banning large gatherings until mid March.<br><br>Edit: 1 million views. Thank you.aware
