And it won't be the last pandemic, the next one could be far more severe.

I mean, this one, it killed millions, it was awful.

We got the vaccine, you know, actually, President Trump's leadership was a factor in getting

that out quickly.

And so I, when I spoke to him, I said, okay, here's some other medical innovations, including

the thing called an HIV cure that could be accelerated.

So, you know, we should be more prepared, both for a pandemic, I'd say that's still

number one.

You know, you can worry about nuclear war, you can worry about AI, there's plenty to

worry about.

Overall, I'm an optimist.

No, I mean, you know, it's up to the government to think ahead on behalf of the citizens.

So a pandemic, there's a lot that we should be doing that hopefully we'll get our act

together before the next one comes.

You know, overall, the innovation in health, both in the developing countries, the rich

world, you know, I love being part of that.

I was reading, though, that you said the next pandemic you are predicting within maybe 25

years.

Oh, certainly we'll have one in the next 25 years.

You know, there's even some pathogens out there that we're watching over right now.
