"WHO Chief Warns of Inevitable Disease X Outbreak"

WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus warns that the outbreak of Disease X is a matter of when, not if, and urges global leaders to prepare for a new pathogen and pandemic. He emphasizes the urgent need for a global treaty to strengthen pandemic preparedness, dismissing suspicions of it being a WHO power grab as unfounded. Disease X is a hypothetical virus that could be 20 times deadlier than COVID-19, and Tedros stresses the importance of learning from the lessons of COVID-19 to prevent future pandemics.
