As the World Economic Forum Prepares for "Disease X," WHO Urges Nations to Sign Pandemic Treaty

by Annemarie McLean

International leaders gathered at the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, January 15-19, 2024, to discuss topics of global importance. The agenda included climate change, artificial intelligence, and “Disease X,” a placeholder name given to a hypothetical virus with a fatality rate “20 times higher than that of COVID-19.” This unidentified virus could result in 50 million fatalities worldwide, according to public health experts.

Whether the fearmongering of these dire predictions is grounded in sound science is beside the point. Already, the World Health Organization is leveraging the statements from WEF’s annual meeting to push its yet-to-be-published international pandemic treaty.

Speaking at WEF on January 17, 2024, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called on all member nations to sign onto the pandemic treaty by May so the world can better be prepared for the next global pandemic.  His comments came in the same discussion that laid out plans to help with preparedness and equity issues ahead of the next global pandemic.

To help solve “preparedness” and “equity” issues that surfaced during COVID, the World Health Organization has established a pandemic fund for pandemic preparedness, an mRNA technology transfer hub in South Africa to help with equity issues, and the WHO BioHub to share samples and improve surveillance. Besides these initiatives, Tedros reported that a “pandemic collaborative intelligence hub” is also up and running. He ended his talk with a plea for all nations to sign onto the up-till-now “new and improved” pandemic agreement.  

“The key is the capacity we build in each and every country,” Tedros says. “And then the other key, to ... address Disease X is the pandemic agreement. The pandemic agreement can bring all the experience, all the challenges we have faced and all the solutions into one. So, for our children and grandchildren’s sake, I think we have to convert all the lessons we have learned into this pandemic agreement and prepare the world for the future.”

Tedros’ request carries one glaring problem: There’s no new draft text of the pandemic agreement to vote on as of January 26, 2024. According to researcher, author, and activist James Roguski, the “Pandemic Treaty” is currently being rewritten, and its text has not been published. Many member nations are “still unhappy” that their previous submissions of text have been ignored and left out of the negotiating text, despite repeated claims that the drafting process is a “member nation led process.” According to Roguski, the 208-page pandemic treaty “Compilation Text” has not been released to the public despite Tedros’ black-and-white plea to sign it by May.  

Adding to his remarks, Tedros emphasized that “this [being prepared for the next pandemic] is a common global interest, and very narrow national interests should not come into the way." Such a statement for an unelected nongovernmental figure to make, unless, of course, he is being backed by entities more powerful than himself and the World Health Organization.  

“The United States must stop cooperating with globalists who are bent on tyranny at the expense of personal and constitutional freedom,” says Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. “One thing is clear: Tedros believes global cooperation to the next pandemic is the only way forward and implores all the nations of the world to sign on the dotted line to get it. The WHO fully intends to be in control when — not if — the next pandemic hits, and a signed international pandemic agreement is the means by which they will ensure control.”

If the 2024 version of the pandemic treaty isn’t altered much from the last one , the United States should in no way sign it. From controlling the global supply of pharmaceutical products to rebranding lockdowns and quarantines as protected “human rights,” as well as policing social media to manage “infodemics,” the WHO has more than played its hand during COVID to spell out the clear and present danger to freedom its best-laid plans entail.

Whether WEF or WHO, both three-letter globalist organizations envision a dystopian future for humanity that is neither fair nor free. Adds Staver, “We say no to this Orwellian authoritarianism, no to Vaccine Passports, no to another COVID-esque ‘lab-leak,’ and no to the nefarious plans from Davos.”
