Prepare for a Disease “Even Deadlier” than Covid, WHO Chief Warns

by Will Jones
23 May 2023 1:18 PM

The planet should be ready for a disease “even deadlier” than Covid, the head of the World Health Organisation warned yesterday. Even deadlier than 0.2% fatality rate? Goodness. Fortunately, we have the WHO to lock us in our homes till the vaccines are ready. The Mail has the story.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the World Health Assembly forum that the threat of another public health crisis could not be kicked “down the road”.

He also claimed that, despite the darkest days of the pandemic being consigned to history, a doomsday Covid variant with the power to send the world back to square one could still spawn.

In Geneva, Switzerland, Dr Tedros said : “The threat of another variant emerging that causes new surges of disease and death remains. And the threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential remains.”

He was speaking as the WHO unveiled a new global scheme to spot and track the most dangerous pathogens at an annual meeting of its 194 member states.

No specific diseases were named. But ‘Disease X’ — a place-holder given to a devastating pathogen not yet discovered — is on the UN agency’s list of pressing threats.

Dr. Tedros’s comments come after the WHO earlier this month declared that Covid was no longer a public health emergency of international concern. 

Instead, the virus is now considered an “established and ongoing health issue”.

It marked a major step and came three years after a cluster of Chinese residents in the city of Wuhan came down with a mysterious illness in December 2019.

At the WHA’s 76th meeting, the WHO launched the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN). It will give all nations access to genomic sequencing to identify and respond to emerging disease threats using genomics.

Genomics – the study of the genetic material found in a virus – helps scientists spot mutations that can make a pathogen more infectious or deadly. 

Scientists can then develop treatments and vaccines that work against them, while nations can mount a timely response.

The IPSN will see researchers, governments, charitable foundations and the private sector work together to monitor bugs.

Dr. Tedros said: “We cannot kick this can down the road. When the next pandemic comes knocking – and it will – we must be ready to answer decisively, collectively and equitably.”

Worth reading in full, I suppose, if you like WHO fear porn.

That’s a genetic disorder where the digestive tract is connected in reverse. Hence, Tedros eats through his asshole and whenever he seems to speak, it’s really just flatulence. Not that uncommon among the political class.

So, old Teddy-boy’s been at it again. What do you want us to do about, mate, cower in a small room covered in sanitizer and wait for DISEASE X… the Placeholder virus?

Now the scope of the definition of “threat” has broadened yet again to encompass not only real pandemics, nor even something that “could” develop into a pandemic potentially, but now even the musings of one man imagining the possibility of a pandemic!

So we can’t “kick down the road” the possibility of another health crisis, then? Yes we can, and we absolutely must, kick it down the road, if we are ever to shift our focus from recovering from the damage inflicted on us over the past few years, rather than imagining future threats.
But no, Dr.G swivels in his chair, strokes his white cat and declares another PHEIC

He reminds me of a cult leader desperately trying to recruit and brainwash followers. He’s dishing out the glasses of Kool-Aid but people have gotten wise now and there are no takers. Much like Bud Light he can’t even give the stuff away.

I have always wondered why grown ups in executive positions in government and business or in this case the WHO, use childish language when they want to make a point. As kids we “kicked the can”. It was a kids game played in alleys in the 50’s. That is all it was, a kids game. So when a top official uses this tiring slogan, you MUST discount them. Here is another thing we said as kids “act your age, not your IQ”.

I can say with absolute certainty that there’s definitely no shortage of diseases more deadly than COVID. Practically all diseases, current and future, fit that definition, you absolute *****, Tedros.

Try myocarditis and pericarditis for a start.

Surely this already exists – as the network of labs that someone is paying to cook up new viruses all over the world?

Most likely this is Susan Michie and her team beginning to ‘nudge’ people by putting scare articles into newspapers. Wait until countries actually sign up to the Pandemic Treaty and watch the nudging build massively.

The real war of this century is going to be giant unelected organisations trampling on the rights of the individual and, indeed, entire citizenries. Think about it: if a country upsets the WHO, the WHO could order the quarantine of that entire country on the basis of a ‘virus’ in order to bankrupt it. We saw a hint of that when a cartel ganged up to eject Liz Truss in the UK.

This repellent creep urgently needs to be silenced if he doesn’t have the good grace to stop spouting nonsense on his own. We could perhaps put him into a sufficiently large can and kick him down the road a little. To be repeated whenever he makes moves to open his mouth again.

Humans have lived on this planet for about 300,000 years and both their abiltiy to treat and prevent diseases and their general standard of living has been much worse than it is today for almost all of this time. Whatever bad stuff is out there is something we long since encountered and survived. For an extreme example, when the black death swept through Europe it killed up to 80% of the population of each village and town it reached within days. Yersinia pestis is still out there and it could as well suddenly mutate into a variant resurrecting its glory days of old. With could as well meaning We cannot reliably rule this out because we don’t know the future yet. OTOH, it didn’t happen in the last 650 years. Hence, it’s very likely not going to happen tomorrow, either.

Remember 1910, when you could buy umbrellas and pills for protection from Halley’s Comet? There were the masks and vaccines of the day. Same purpose: to make money for the purveyors of fashionable merchandise and quack protection.

If the press wasn’t evidently part of all this, they could easily tear the WHO apart. We know Tedros was appointed with help from Red China and was part of a ragingly homicidal, authoritarian government. The whole WHO is easy meat for our jackals and yet no mainstream media organisation is going after them…

Is Disease X AKA Catastrophic Contagion? If so, his funder Bill Gates has already told us what to expect: A disease that breaks out in Africa during 2025 that affects children. During the exercise there were some details he kept to himself and the assembled participants.

I agree that this is beyond contempt, but these oiks are actively looking for this virus, and spending billions on this search. Have a look at the Reuters website they have been running some pretty hysteric articles on bat viruses, with some viruses already known to be deadly.

But when you are running with fear and hysterical rhetoric, then anything is possible, and everything is probable..

“Dr” tedros is not a medical doctor, a medical expert nor a scientist. He is a mouthpiece for a cabal that is intent on causing even more death and destruction.

The deadliest disease that is far worse than Covid and which wants to kill us all off already exists…it’s called the WHO BS. It keeps threatening to leak out like a sudden colon-al mass ejection. Best ignored as it’s more a disease of the mind…

He’s still banking on perhaps being able to resurrect COVID if his trained poodles just keep on genomic sequencing to find minor variations in the RNA of virus specimens which can hopefully again be turned into BIG headlines. OTOH, as we’re all dead, anyway, why bother? [*]

[*] In January 2022, when Boris the Brainfart was finally persuaded to lift England mask mandates, the WHO sent a special COVID envoy to London in a last ditch effort to save its pandemic over here. The special envoy duly generated a bunch of headlines by predicting the gravest of consequence within two weeks, possibly earlier, for England and all of the world, should the mandate really be lifted, dramatically culminating in the rethorical question What do these people [Tory MPs] know about The Virus[tm] me and my colleagues, who have been scientfically studying it from the start, don’t?

Come next fortnight, the special COVID envoy had disappeared never to be seen again so far. But that probably wasn’t the dire consequence he had been warning about.

Prepare for the next pandemic just as soon as we’ve worked out a name for it and it’s supposed symptoms.

To be serious for a moment, pre covid what was the last global pandemic? The Spanish flu in 1918? if so then the gap to the next one should be at least as long if not more as advances in world hygiene improve.

Yeah, it’s a disease called One World Government.

It leaves you paralysed and dribbling in front of your television while you compulsively stab yourself with whatever it tells you to. It then empties your bank account, opens the front door to allow its armies of immigrants into your home and ships your kids off to a gender reassignment camp.

Very advanced disease that can only be cured by throwing your TV and mobile phone out of the window and refusing to pay your taxes.
