Bill Gates Warns The World To Prep For Bio-Terrorism "A Respiratory Spread Pathogen Would Kill

Bill Gates says it's time to redirect some of the money the world spends on weapons to prepare for a looming threat: terrorists with pathogens. He's warning that the threat of bio-terrorism is "right up there with nuclear war and climate change." Gates spoke at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Saturday, and an abridged transcript of his speech was published by Business Insider.

The billionaire Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) co-founder turned philanthropist has invested heavily in health initiatives around the globe, and now he's speaking out in the hopes of spurring more investment in vaccines and medical research.
