The philanthropic founder and former boss of Microsoft Incorporated, William Gates, has said that his much-publicised vaccine is expected to be ready within the next two years at the latest, favouring eighteen months as the possible time for it to be ready.
There have been serious controversies over the vaccine for COVID 19 as planned by Gates and associates, with many fearing that it is meant for population control instead of prevention of disease.
In general terms, it takes about five years to get a universally accepted vaccine. There are many stages, which includes the isolation of causative agents, finding what works, testing on lower animals, moving on to mammals and finally being tested on humans. This takes an average of five years.
Speaking on MBC show Friday, Gates expressed hope of an earlier readiness.
“Because of all the incredibly negative effects, the sooner the better”, he said.
“The best scientists [are] working hard on this.
“In fact, in the last few weeks, I’ve seen signs that we may get to the optimistic side of that time projection”.
“I wish it had come, you know, five or 10 years later, then governments might have done the preparation to move quickly as a few governments did,” Gates said.
