Fans are not impressed by Prateik Babbar's Instagram post
Prateik Babbar took to his social media handle to post a video of Bill Gates recorded in the year 2015 at an event. In the video, fans can see that Bill Gates had warned the world about a threat similar to Coronavirus. He talked about how we are ready for nuclear warfare and that we have nuclear deterrents, but we are not ready for an epidemic.
Gates talked about the history of such viruses and talked about the Spanish flu that had killed many. He also said that this can be stopped, but we need to prepare ourselves for such threats by building a response system. Fans of Prateik Babbar were not impressed by this as they feel that Gates should have done something regarding this situation in the past as a safety measure.
An Instagram user by the handle name harry17in stated that ‘Illuminati knows everything’. Another user asked if Gates knew so much then why did he not act on this. Some fans were seen talking about how futile it is to think about what could have happened. They felt that it is now the time for action and that we need to do everything we can to contain coronavirus at our level and not indulge in spreading mass panic.
