It does not yet exist and has no name, but scientists around the planet, together with the World Health Organization (WHO), are analyzing what would be a new disease, deadlier than Covid-19.

The WHO began to shed light. It warns of a ‘disease

The topic will be discussed in the middle of this week in Switzerland, where the Davos Economic Forum, which takes place year after year, opened on Monday, January 15, 2024.

What the WHO says about disease “X”

It is not a new term. It has been minted since 2018, Debate noted.

That word, ABC indicated, “has been used by the WHO since 2018 to hypothetically describe an as yet unknown pathogen that could cause an ‘international epidemic’.

According to the World Health Organization, this “hypothetical” disease represents recognition that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a yet unknown pathogen, with the potential to cause twenty times more deaths than the current pandemic.

On November 18, 2022, WHO brought together more than 300 scientists to examine the available evidence on more than 25 families of viruses and bacteria, as well as on the so-called ‘unknown disease that has the potential to cause a serious international epidemic.

Disease X is not a new virus. It is defined as a serious epidemic that may be caused by a currently unknown pathogen that can cause disease in humans.

Comments

When it was announced that they would talk about disease X in Davos, the reactions were immediate.

According to RT, Monica Crowley, assistant secretary of public affairs at the US Treasury Department during the Trump administration, noted: “restricting freedom of speech and destroying more freedoms.” “Does it sound crazy? “That’s what happened in 2020.”

According to Dr. Amesh Adalja, “arbitrarily suggesting that these exercises and meetings are part of some kind of conspiracy avoids the real purpose they serve and the issues on which they are trying to gain ground.”

In November 2022, Michael Ryan noted on behalf of WHO: “To respond quickly and effectively to epidemics and pandemics, it is essential to focus on priority pathogens and virus families that we can investigate and take countermeasures.” (JO)
