WHO calls for world pandemic treaty to prepare for deadly ‘Disease X’

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has called on countries to sign on to the health organization’s pandemic treaty so the world can prepare for “Disease X.”

Ghebreyesus, speaking in front of an audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, said that he hoped countries would reach a pandemic agreement by May to address this “common enemy.”

Disease X is a hypothetical “placeholder” virus that has not yet been formed, but scientists say it could be 20 times deadlier than COVID-19.

It was added to the WHO’s short list of pathogens for research in 2017 that could cause a “serious international epidemic,” according to a 2022 WHO press release.

Ghebreyesus said that COVID-19 was the first Disease X, but it’s important to prepare for another pandemic.

“There are things that are unknown that may happen, and anything happening is a matter of when, not if, so we need to have a placeholder for that, for the diseases we don’t know,” Ghebreyesus said.

“We lost many people [during COVID] because we couldn’t manage them,” Ghebreyesus said at the global confab. “They could have been saved, but there was no space. There was not enough oxygen. So how can you have a system that can expand when the need comes?”

He said that a shared response via the treaty would help the world better react to another outbreak.

It’s almost as they know that it has been developed and are planning on releasing it.

No name because it isn’t real, and it will be 20 times deadlier.

If we somehow survived Disease X, you can be certain there will follow a Disease Y and a Disease Z.

WHO and WEF announce their new pandemic that will be 20 times worse than Covid. WHO and WEF have had their scientists at Wuhan, NIH, CDC, and FDA rushing this new pandemic in time for the 2024 elections.

From the article:

Disease X is a hypothetical “placeholder” virus that has not yet been formed, but scientists say it could be 20 times deadlier than COVID-19

So, would disease X be responsible for more or less deaths than the flu?

When a virus is super deadly like ebola, the victims die so quickly that they do not get a chance to spread it around. So this statement is completely meaningless without context. It seems to be getting more and more obvious at this point that it is difficult to tell whether most forms of Covid are not much if any more serious than many types of flu. The government mandated actions, treatments and the truly awful vaccines are what really set it apart. Doctors were not allowed to use their good judgement in many cases, and treatments that were effective were in many cases not allowed.

Better send Fauci and the others who were funding the research over there first.

Yes, I see, unfortunately we do.

We’ve got Freepers still in on Covid having been a deadly, globe-circling virus, so it’s not that much of a stretch to believe that they will release a worse type of deadly, globe-circling virus.

I’m not saying they can’t kill people through all kinds of means, whether toxin or localized cloned DNA versions of a scripted virus, but their real justification for control and deadly jabs is the deadly, spreading virus idea—and that, it appears, at least some Freepers are ready to buy in on.

Since it's a hypothetical "placeholder" virus which doesn't actually exist, why stop at 20 times? Why not just hypothesize Disease X to be 100 times more deadly? 100 is a nice, round number. Or hypothesize that Disease X will trigger the long-awaited zombie apocalypse - dealing with brain-hungry zombies would beat dealing with liberal white women going into hysterics because everyone won't wear a mask.

“ We lost many people [during COVID] because we couldn’t manage them,”

That sentence says a lot more than they think they’re saying.
