Last year, millions of people fought back the European Union’s #Article17. The fight isn’t over - we're pushing the EU member states to limit the use of automated filtering and protect users right's as they implement the law nationally. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/eff-eu-commission-article-17-prioritize-users-rights-let-go-filters

Warnings of the next outbreak were present after the "bird-flu" outbreak, and the government did take action.

@LeoSammallahti The bottom line is that Gates needs a profit motive to take action. He isn't a philanthropist, like the media claims, just a disaster capitalist. His pandemic warnings were driven by a desire to increase his wealth, otherwise he would've undertaken the funding he was asking for.
Maybe the reason no other "leaders" spoke out was they couldn't come up with a way to profit from it.
@LeoSammallahti At Gates wealth level, he can make governments listen. (At least in the USA, our politicians are buyable and not that expensive. Gates knows that from the Microsoft antitrust trial.) He could start manufacturing of PPE and respirators. He could fund more research into the viruses.
@LeoSammallahti On Gates...if he knew, given his financial resources, why didn't he take action?
We're at war with our government now.

Progressive solicitations really need to lose the practice of using clickbait headlines. The only message those convey is that you think your donors are a bunch of rubes.
