Years ago, I wrote an article for this publication called, Digital darkness: the third apocalypse. In it, I included a discussion about ‘conditioning’ in which global bureaucracies were ‘training’ leaders to respond in a predictable manner to unpredictable scenarios – such as a catastrophic disease outbreak.

It sounds like a great idea until you realise that bespoke and varied solutions made by unpredictable governments is how we solve problems as a species. Tightly controlled, regimented answers lead to public health disasters, such as we saw during Covid under the godly command of the World Health Organisation and its deeply vested interests.

Sitting beneath this problem is that of corporate interest. Big Pharma requires predictable responses from government so that it can monetise the next pandemic (even more so than the last one). A product sitting on a pharmacy shelf, or even better, mandated by the state as part of a health passport, is worth a fortune that would make Alexander the Great quiver with desire.

The concept of ‘Disease X’ – which the internet seems to have discovered yesterday – is to have a solution 99 per cent finished and ready for market. The push for mRNA allows for the creation of ‘pending’ vaccines that can be tweaked at the last minute and released into the wild.

Never mind that the last mRNA vaccines didn’t work and caused death and permanent injury to untold thousands. That is a minor side effect… An acceptable sacrifice for the greater good.

On paper at the World Health Organisation and in the budget spreadsheets of nations, mRNA technology ticks all the boxes.

There is a general mission statement dating back years from the ‘virtuous’ nations, bureaucracies, and medical industry to create what they call ‘equitable access to vaccines’. Essentially, this involves using public money from wealthy nations to pay manufacturers billions of dollars to create vaccines for third-world consumption. This gravy train is held up by the idea that the free market is incapable of producing vaccines – even though the free market happily produces everything else.

Disease X is the name given to the unknown next pandemic. In preparation for this health apocalypse, our old friends at the World Economic Forum have been offering a public service by taking global leaders through simulations of a biological pandemic. The Davos forum in 2017 launched the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations inline with the guidelines laid out by the World Health Organisation in their ‘blueprint for priority diseases’ from a group of ‘global experts’ called the R&D Blueprint Scientific Advisory Group. This Coalition is co-funded by a variety of groups including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust, and a consortium of nations which now include Norway, Japan, Germany, the European Union, India, Canada, Australia, and Britain.

This group, known as the CEPI partners, started creating the beginning of a self-amplifying RNA vaccine back in 2018 – right before the Covid pandemic. From my previous article, ‘In 2019 work began on an RNA Printer prototype to produce a supply of lipid-nanoparticle-formulated mRNA vaccine candidate to deal with unknown pathogens in a DiseaseX scenario.’

Said CEPI:

‘The speed of the scientific progress has been astounding, compressing vaccine development – which typically takes a decade into the space of 12 months – yet over 2 million lives have been lost to Covid already and economies the world over have been devastated. So, could we move even faster next time?’

The Disease X project took a break from the media during Covid when the world had a real pandemic to mull over. Although, there were publications such as the New York Times that went so far as to say, ‘In a nutshell, Covid is Disease X.’ Others dispute this. Regardless, some of the conditioning drummed into our vapid political class paid off, with leaders ignoring decades of expert research from their domestic medical industries and instead chose to lean on the World Health Organisation – too afraid to step out of line from the authoritative ‘consensus’.

This week, news has broken of a ‘secret UK lab’ in Wiltshire making new Covid variants and working on a vaccine for Disease X to ‘stop the next pandemic in its tracks’.

Porton Down, the ‘secret UK lab’ are involved in Disease X vaccine work, although it is more of a confirmation than a revelation. The Chief Executive of the UK Health Security Agency running the labs said:

‘Covid, of course, is not a one-off. We say it was the biggest public health incident for a century, but I don’t think any of us think it’ll be a century before the next [pandemic].’

She then goes on to suggest that climate change will (magically?) contribute to another global health challenge along with urbanisation. Certainly, most of the world’s worst diseases originate in poor populations living on top of each other with little to no sanitation. It’s why parts of Africa and Asia act as Petri dishes for terrifying bacterial and viral outbreaks. Although, if you ask a screechy university student wearing three masks and a face shield, they’ll tell you it’s the evil capitalists.

Disease X was coined in 2018 by the World Health Organisation. At the time, our old friend and the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci claimed that, according to Wikipedia, Disease X would ‘encourage WHO projects to focus their research efforts on entire classes of viruses, instead of just individual strains, thus improving WHO capability to respond to unforeseen strains’.

At the 2018 announcement, it was said that, ‘Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease.’

While a spokesperson for the R&D Blueprint Special Advisory Group added, ‘History tells us that it is likely the next big outbreak will be something we have not seen before … It may seem strange to be adding an ‘X’ but the point is to make sure we prepare and plan flexibly in terms of vaccines and diagnostic tests. We want to see ‘plug and play’ platforms developed which will work for any, or a wide number of diseases; systems that will allow us to create countermeasures at speed.’

In 2021, CEPI published an article Preparing for the next ‘Disease X’ setting out the basis for their logic.

‘100 years ago, the worst pandemic in recorded history, the “Spanish flu”, killed an estimated 50 million people. The world’s understanding of microbial threats has advanced immeasurably since then, but in many ways we are as vulnerable as ever to sudden attacks by unknown pathogen – also referred to as Disease X.’

It adds:

‘While the world battles to control Covid, we know that future outbreaks of Disease X are inevitable. Our interconnected world has made us more vulnerable than ever to the rapid spread of new emerging infectious diseases. Rapid urbanisation, deforestation, intensive agriculture, livestock rearing practices, climate change and globalisation are increasing opportunities for animal-to-human contacts and for human-to-human transmission of disease on a global scale. The threat of Disease X infecting the human population, and spreading quickly around the world, is greater than ever before.’

CEPI brags that it ‘initiated a rapid response program – including mRNA vaccines – against novel pathogens. Our goal was to be able to start safety testing of vaccines within months of a new pathogen being genetically sequenced’.

‘If we can produce vaccines against Disease X in a matter of months instead of a year or more, we could revolutionise the world’s ability to respond to epidemic and pandemic diseases. Disease X and other emerging infectious diseases pose an existential threat to humanity. But for the first time in history, with the right level of financial commitment and political will, we could credibly aim to eliminate the risk of epidemics and pandemics.’

PubMed Central also published work on the Disease X scenario. I found one comment of particular interest:

To the Editor: An old adage says, “Prevention is better than cure.” Nothing exemplifies this idea better than “Disease X.” According to the World Health Organisation, “Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease.”

Richard Hatchett, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), said about Disease X, “It might sound like science fiction, but Disease X is something we must prepare for.”

[…]

There is a dire need to seriously fund the surveillance of, research into, and treatment of emerging potential pandemic agents that could cause Disease X. Despite the grim situation, steps can be taken to stop Disease X and to reduce the spread and damage of Disease X by properly and preemptively preparing for it.

It is hard to fathom the amount of money that has been poured into the development of mRNA vaccines prior to and during the Covid pandemic.

Global organisations, bureaucracies, private businesses, entire government leaderships, and the reputations of thousands of ‘experts’ rest on the success of mRNA to ‘fight a Disease X’ scenario.

Any indication that this technology is a failure of concept – a non-starter – a disaster for human health – or a scam fundamentally damages innumerable interests.

So, if you ever find yourself wondering why no one can touch mRNA vaccines, despite the people who have died or been permanently injured – remember Disease X and the towers of gold that sit beside it.
