"I think we'll succeed."

Bill Gates: "When we set the [UN Agenda 2030] Sustainable Development Goals, we didn't anticipate a pandemic."

"And so the goals we set for 2030... it feels a bit naïve, but every life saved really counts."

"We're talking about millions of lives. We're talking about making these countries stable, having health systems so that if a potential pandemic is getting started, they can stop it before it spreads globally."

"Yes, it's harder today than it was a few years ago to get through the noise level, to get this cause to be heard, but because it's about helping other humans, I think we'll succeed. We're very committed to it."
