There is a 50 percent chance that in 20 years we will have another pandemic, billionaire Bill Gates told the Spanish publication elDiario.es.

According to Bill Gates, it will not be monkeypox, but most likely a mutation of one of the already known viruses, or even a virus artificially created by a bioterrorist.

The billionaire believes that the emergence of a new virus could be caused by the human invasion of new ecosystems.

He also commented on the "pandemic" conspiracy theories associated with his persona, saying that if people don't get vaccinated because of the rumors, the consequences will be terrible.
