Global organizations are working to build a permanent, globally-controlled state of readiness for the coming of the heralded “Disease X.”
Speaking at a World Economic Forum (WEF) seminar called “Preparing for Disease X,” World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that in 2018 his organization “needed to have a placeholder for the disease we don’t know.
“And that was when we gave the name Disease X,” he said on Jan. 17. “We were preparing for Covid-like diseases, and you may even call Covid the first Disease X.”
Since then, global organizations such as the WHO, the WEF, the World Bank, the G7, and the G20 have been working to build a global infrastructure to fight the next pandemic, in whatever form it takes.
