Bill Gates is the easy scapegoat for conspiracy theorist and some Trumpers to blame for the pandemic. The main reason why he was able to make those prediction is he has been funding a lot of research on the dangers of pandemic outbreak through his foundation.
Try watching the Netflix documentary on Bill Gates and you'll probably understand him better. Really impressed by the books he reads everyday. Also, watch the Netflix documentary on Pandemic as well. It was released before Covid 19 and by watching the documentary, you'll know why US is totally unprepared for the outbreak. You'll also understand why the world is also unprepared for such an outbreak before Covid 19.
Actually quite a few people already foresee this - with precedence like bird flu, SARS, MERS - so those previously affected countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan, China are more prepared, except for US (which was also affected previously).
Many scientists and doctors are predicting the main cause of death in 2050 will be infectious diseases due to us running out of effective antibiotics and antivirals so new vaccine tech and other new tech to fight viruses/bacteria will be needed.
You don't need a crystal ball to project what is likely to happen in the future, and Bill Gates stepped up while the US Govt slacked off under Trump.
P/S : Remember the lady researcher that emigrated from Malaysia that was very much celebrated because she is researching a new way to fight bacteria?
