Bill Gates joins Savannah Guthrie on TODAY for a wide-ranging interview to discuss his new book, “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.” He touches on conspiracy theories about vaccines, Elon Musk’s plans to buy Twitter, marking one year since his divorce from his ex-wife Melinda, and his meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.
“I certainly made a huge mistake no only meeting him in the first place, but I met with him a number of times,” said Gates. “I didn’t realize that the meeting with him almost downplayed the incredibly awful things he did. I’ve learned more about that over time, but I add that to the list of big mistakes.”
