Bill Gates used his TED2022 key note speech to float his action plan for preventing another pandemic.

Gates addressed the anti-vaccine protesters outside the event in Vancouver as "weird" and "somewhat ironic."

He said that, despite the false myths about him creating the pandemic, his foundation has "helped save millions of lives."

Bill Gates said "it's somewhat ironic" that anti-vaccine protesters falsely accuse him of malice through his work on vaccine development when his organization has helped save millions of lives.



Asked how he felt about the protests, Gates said it was "kind of weird."

"The Gates Foundation is very involved in vaccines, the invention of new vaccines, funding vaccines, and we're very proud that, through joint efforts like Gavi, that saved tens of millions of lives," Gates said, referring to a global alliance getting vaccines to every continent in the world. "So it's somewhat ironic to have somebody turn around and say we're using vaccines to kill people or to make money or we started the pandemic."
