I strongly believe that investing $24 billion to develop prototype vaccines for each of the 26 known viral families is a crucial step in preventing future pandemics. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of being prepared, and this proactive approach could save millions of lives and trillions of dollars in economic impact. It's a wise investment in global health and security.

We must increase investment in pandemic prevention and response. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the devastating impact of infectious diseases. By investing more in healthcare infrastructure, early detection systems, and global health security, we can prepare better for future outbreaks and save lives.

I strongly believe that we must render extinct all pathogenic human parasites, including Malaria, Leishmaniasis, Cryptosporidiosis, Ticks, Screwworms, Botflies, and others. Eliminating these diseases would save millions of lives and vastly improve global health. Through targeted scientific research and innovative solutions, we can achieve this goal and create a healthier future for everyone.

Investing in a larger-scale CERN is essential for advancing our understanding of fundamental physics and pushing the boundaries of technology, which often leads to innovations that benefit society in numerous and sometimes unexpected ways.

I believe that world governments should prioritize research into Silver Lining style cloud geoengineering as part of a broader strategy to combat climate change. While we must continue investing in renewable energy and reducing emissions, innovative solutions like cloud geoengineering could provide us with an additional tool to help reverse the effects of global warming. However, it’s crucial that we approach this technology with caution, ensuring that rigorous scientific studies and international cooperation guide its development and deployment.
