đš Bill Gatesâs Warning: A 5-Year Window to Avert a Global Slide
âIn his latest annual letter, Bill Gates has issued a stark wake-up call to world leaders. After decades of progress, the world is at a tipping point.
âThe Reality Check:
For the first time in over 20 years, child mortality is on the rise, jumping to 4.8 million deaths in 2025. Gates warns that declining foreign aid and global instability are pushing us "backwards."
âThe "Dark Age" Deadline:
âThe Risk: A sustained decline in global health and human rights if funding isn't restored.
âThe Window: Gates believes we have 5 years to scale up new technologies and reinvest in global health to stop the slide.
âThe Hope: While the warning is dire, Gates remains an "impatient optimist," pointing to AI-driven medical breakthroughs and new vaccines as the tools that can save usâif we choose to fund them.
âThe Bottom Line: The next five years will determine if we enter a period of prolonged decline or spark a new era of rapid recovery.
