A curious round table took place during the Davos Economic Forum this Wednesday, January 17 with the main subject “Preparing for Disease X”.

As the Davos World Economic Forum meets in Switzerland, a strange meeting has raised some questions. The round table which was organized this Wednesday, January 17 had the theme "Preparing for disease X".

With presentation: "As the World Health Organization continues its research into the potential of what' 39;is called "disease p>

It was notably hosted by the director of the WHO, the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in the presence of certain laboratory bosses, a Minister of Health and ;nbsp;Michel Démaré, chairman of the board of directors of AstraZeneca, among others.

What is this "disease X" ?

This pathology named X is a hypothetical disease which does not yet exist or at least which is not yet known. But who could cause a pandemic in the months or even years to come.

In fact, it serves as an excuse for countries around the world to prepare for the arrival of a terrible X virus that could spread across the planet and infect people. millions of people and kill them.

This possible illness allows us to protect ourselves and be able to organize ourselves to avoid as many deaths as possible. It is defined as being more serious than the Covid pandemic and could thus cause 20 times more victims. 

The WHO definition is: "Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic may be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease. The research and development plan explicitly aims to enable early and transversal preparation in terms of research and development which is also relevant for "disease X" unknown."

On the WHO list of priority diseases

This disease is included on the WHO list of priority diseases or pathogens which currently includes around ten: Covid, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Lassa fever, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Nipah virus, Rift Valley fever, Zika virus and the famous "disease X".

A list which serves as a tool to present public health risks and reflect on effective political measures around the risks incurred to avoid any spread in order to best prepare health systems if such a scenario were to occur. present.

Proof of the preparation of an illness for conspiracy theorists

This meeting in Davos had a certain effect on the conspiratorial sphere which seized this meeting to demonstrate that it was about # 39;proof in order to prepare for the next pandemic. 

Florian Philippot, president of the Les Patriotes party, rushed to publish a message on X (formerly Twitter) declaring: "Disease X is agitated like "the future pandemic" for several years by the WHO. "Getting Ready" means in Davosian language: to stir up fear, to prepare "mRNA vaccines" and the Passes that go with it!  What are they up to ?".

A post which was enough to agitate the conspiracy sphere above all and provoke an avalanche of comments.

Even Francis Lalanne reacted to the announcement of this round table. 

The singer who became the ringleader of many conspiracy theorists declared: "It's planned!".  "The plague! Hence the voluntary breeding of rats in Paris!"

Beyond any conspiracy, it is indeed possible that the next pandemic could be similar to the plague, like another pathogen. And in any case, it is precisely to prepare for it and not be caught off guard that the scientific committees are working on it. No to spread it and to hopefully prevent its spread.

Forewarned is forearmed. Let's hope that an informed world is worth as much…
