"WHO Urges Global Pandemic Treaty to Combat Deadly 'Disease X'"

WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus is urging countries to sign a pandemic treaty to prepare for potential future pandemics, including the hypothetical "Disease X" that could be 20 times deadlier than COVID-19. The treaty aims to enhance global cooperation in early warning systems, supply chains, research, and primary healthcare to better respond to outbreaks. While world leaders are working towards this treaty, some critics, including GOP members, have expressed concerns about potential loss of sovereignty to the WHO.
