So population management
A virus you say?
In 2028, the world is projected to reach a total population of 8,436,618,886 and 🇮🇳 India will be the most populous country that year, with a total of 1,501,432,739 people. Followed by 🇨🇳 China, with the second largest population globally of 1,406,136,744 people in total.

I cannot envision the Global agreers accepting this number. Covid vaccination by this date may if death hastens chip a billion off the number and yet the urgency of population reduction is policy.
Is atomic war outcome and Covid vaccine enough to chip a billion more?
Real atomic war as a means of population control would be too untidy a means. The nuclear threat on the other hand has been effective since the Seventies, later replaced by the climate catastrophe threat. Then as now young couples used to say, and still say, "we are not procreating because no child should be exposed to such a bleak future". And, today, the additional argument is to limit one's carbon footprint by not producing additional breathers/exhales.
Gates wants less population so he can say that he has $2 per person, whereas at the moment he only has $1 per person.
One can see where he's coming from.
Doubling his money.
Imagine - counting your money in terms of how much for every man, woman and child.
