On social networks, the supposed “Disease X”, mentioned in Davos, provokes panic and paranoid.

Some Internet users believe that the world’s elite have planned its next pandemic. Since January 15, the date of the opening of the World Economic Forum (World Economic Forum, WEF) in Davos, the annual meeting of the world’s economic and political elites and the moment of imagination of the complosphere, the possibility of a new virus transmission for the planned shakes the social networks. Former National Rally executive Florian Philippot dedicated several videos describing this “Disease X” No“Special Guest” from Davos.

At the root of these rumors, a conference dedicated to holding in Davos “Disease X”, A pathology that the WHO included in its list of health priorities in 2018. But in reality, it does not exist; This is a working hypothesis. A UN agency describes it “An Unknown Pathogen Could Cause a Serious International Pandemic”

, through zoonosis or bioterrorist attacks. Disease X, in short, represents the threat of a new pathogen, which is impossible to define. The emergence of Kovid-19 is considered the first concrete example.

Interest in conspiracy circles was revived by a 45-minute public roundtable on the theme “Prepare for Disease X”Co-hosted by the World Health Organization on January 17 in Davos, in the presence of its Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Brazil’s Minister of Health, Nicia Trindade Lima, and AstraZeneca’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Michel Demare.

A fantasy of WHO’s independence projects

During this discussion, “Doctor Tedros” mentioned the virus hypothesis “twenty times more lethal” than SARS-CoV-2, for which no vaccine exists. In subtext, the pressing call for various countries to reach an agreement around an international cooperation program by spring, to optimize the response and coordination of various countries in the event of a new pandemic, has since been a regular subject of frustration and disagreement. The SARS epidemic in 2003-2004.

But with the conspiratorial reading grid, these figures were perceived as a threat to the population. “Just in time for the election (In The American, November 2024)The new infection allows them to use the new WHO treaty, again to limit, restrict freedom of speech and destroy more freedoms », got away with x Monica Crowley, former member of the Trump administration.

WHO is “A supranational order so binding, it is imposed upon us”Florian Philippot believes, while quoting “Digital Tools Like the Past” Or “Vaccine Policy” – A false claim, because health is the sovereignty of states in international law. For other internet users, this “Disease X”

New vaccines are guaranteed “Against a virus that doesn’t exist yet. »

A strain of 100% lethal mutant coronaviruses

These allegations about the deadly virus resonate with a Chinese scientific article that caused a stir earlier in the year. Published on the pre-publication forum, BiorXiv, on January 4, it describes a pangolin coronavirus that has been known since 2017 and is closely related to SARS-CoV-2, GX_P2V, which, once isolated, four “humanized” mice (with human genes ) causes the death of ), to whom it was inoculated.

Difficult to draw conclusions: the humanized mouse model used is more sensitive than average. With other transgenic mice, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, on the contrary, concluded in 2023 that the same pangolin virus caused weaker reactions. But this infestation has not gone unnoticed in the complosphere: ever since, this pangolin virus has been misrepresented and anxiety-provoking. “A mutant strain of coronavirus that attacks the brain and has a 100% fatality rate”

This one is also suspected to be famous “Disease X” WHO is plotting on the origins of the pandemic. However, the two are not directly related, except through two different ways, they try to prepare for the threats of new emerging diseases – a leitmotif of virology as well as health policies since the SARS episode, and whose importance was confirmed by MERS in 2012, after Covid-19 in 2020.

Logical inversion

there “Disease X” Already the plot was subject to interpretation. 20 minutes A viral TikTok video mentioned in June 2023 raised concerns about the illness “Invented by WHO”, “Planned(e) With Biolabs », “Planned(e) »And which will pave the way for that “Global Health Dictatorship”.

This is not the first time that work related to pandemic preparedness has given rise to paranoid reinterpretations. Thanks to the reversal of cause and effect, several conferences aimed at warning of the dangers of the pandemic, such as the Event 201 meeting in 2019 or Bill Gates’ presentation at TED in 2015, were already interpreted as preparations for the alleged voluntary deployment. of SARS-CoV-2. All of them are based on a strange assumption: to believe that any fire prevention exercise will be the entry of an arson project.
