Bill Gates is at the center of the response to Covid-19, a catastrophe he had spent years trying to forestall. “I wish I had done more.”
Five years ago, Bill Gates warned that the biggest potential killer the world faced wasn’t war, but a pandemic. The billionaire spent hundreds of millions of dollars to find faster ways to develop vaccines and create disease-tracking systems. He urged world leaders to build national defenses against new infectious diseases.
