At first, I thought the article was ambiguous.

But he made one point that I understood very well, and that was the strategy we would use to deal with a possible pandemic of unknown origin.

CRISPR — sounds like a great way to test*. It remains a mystery to me as to why we have no way to differentiate ie: cold vs flu

“*And we're getting better at rapid diagnosis too - which is essential, as the first step toward fighting a new disease is quarantine. Just this week, a new research paper in the journal Science touted the development of a way to use the gene-editing technology Crispr to rapidly detect diseases and identify them using the same sort of paper strip used in a home pregnancy test.”

Gates did say that they would contribute 13 million (?) to the research and development of a new flu vaccine.

hmmm...

So he may or may not feel they would gain lots of profit from this investment.
