UK scientists begin developing vaccines against "Disease X"

I love a lab leak in the morning

I had initially planned to publish on the topic of Long Covid markers and viral persistence today, but I find this stream-of-consciousness approach to be a more compelling endeavor. I'll work on the Long Covid and a couple of other articles a bit more later. The topic at hand holds long-term significance.

To my surprise today, I found the following news floating on the web.

'Disease X': UK scientists begin developing vaccines against new pandemic

The work is being carried out at the government's high-security Porton Down laboratory complex in Wiltshire.

UK scientists have begun developing vaccines as an insurance against a new pandemic caused by an unknown "Disease X".

The work is being carried out at the government's high-security Porton Down laboratory complex in Wiltshire by a team of more than 200 scientists.

They have drawn up a threat list of animal viruses that are capable of infecting humans and could in future spread rapidly around the world.

Which of them will break through and trigger the next pandemic is unknown, which is why it's referred to only as "Disease X".

Sky News was escorted around the site, which is run by the UK Health Security Agency, to see the work being done in high-containment labs.

Professor Dame Jenny Harries, the head of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), told Sky News: "What we're trying to do here is ensure that we prepare so that if we have a new Disease X, a new pathogen, we have done as much of that work in advance as possible.

"Hopefully we can prevent it [a pandemic]. But if we can't and we have to respond, then we have already started developing vaccines and therapeutics to crack it."

The Vaccine Development and Evaluation Centre at Porton Down has been expanded to take on the work.

One early success is the world's first vaccine against Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, a disease that's spread by ticks and has a fatality rate of 30%.

Early-stage clinical trials have just started, with 24 volunteers expected to test the jab.

The disease is becoming more common in Europe as global temperatures rise and some travellers have returned to the UK with the infection.

John Hopkins has its fingerprints all over anything Disease X or “future pandemic” related

First, let's delve into a little bit of history. Disease X is a placeholder name adopted by the WHO in the mid-2010s to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could potentially cause a future epidemic or unleash an pandemic. The list of "potential" pathogens is relatively small and eerily similar to Bill Gates's own list, which includes hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola, Crimean-Congo, and Marburg, as well as Lassa Fever, Lassa, Rift Valley fever, and Nipah virus. The list is periodically updated. While there were debates about whether SARS-CoV-2 could have been or should have been the first Pathogen X causing Disease X, that discussion and intent were swiftly shut down by China, much like how Western governments swiftly reacted to SARS-CoV-2 and crushed the entire global economy.

Theoretically, this blueprint would serve as a preemptive preparedness measure against any outbreak with the potential to be severe. However, in practice, it turned into a grant scheme for governmental agencies like DARPA and projects involved with SARS-CoV-2, such as PREDICT and DEFUSE. A bipartisan bill was recently introduced in the North American Congress to address such events, named “Disease X Act of 2023”. Now, the UK government is utilizing the WHO's blueprint to plan against potential outbreaks. This raises concerns due to the massive conflict of interest, monetary incentives, and vested interests in controlling people.

The same reasons that brought us here today. Regardless of how SARS-CoV-2 originated (purposeful or accidental leak), the virus exists because of "pandemic preparedness." This chimera would never have come into being if not for the attempt of arrogant scientists to research dual-use pathogens – ostensibly predicting where a pathogen could surface and how it could infect us, but potentially engaging in bioweapons research at a deeper level.

In response to the pandemic, hundreds of billions of dollars were injected into scientific research and laboratories, and this cascade effect was apparent to anyone observant, especially during mid-2020. The follow news pieces are from this old article I published quite a while ago.

On laboratory leaks and emergence of variants

Dangerous incidents at UK laboratories ‘potentially exposed staff to Covid’

These are just a few examples of lab incidents involving researchers and SARS-CoV-2 that were made public. Some argue that certain variants might have been "leaked" from these labs, a point I've repeatedly raised concerning the UK, South African, and Brazilian variants – variants with specific mutations that researchers who experienced "accidents" had predicted. Omicron itself is believed to be a (positive, probably white hat) laboratory leak. A recent paper by two very competent Japanese researchers states a similar point.

To simplify the molecular biology talk behind Omicron, not only did it have an abnormal number of mutations on its Spike Protein from the very beginning, but many of its mutations are nearly impossible to arise solely from recombination (infecting a host multiple times). It seems rather suspicious that many of its mutations were categorized and studied before its appearance. As one researcher put it, "It is like Omicron read all literature in regards to SARS-CoV-2." Many of the most significant mutations in Omicron occurred in critical spots within the Spike Protein that can induce acute, short, and long-term problems – hence the reading literature comment from researchers.

Merely a few days ago I wrote about an Illegal lab being found in California, linked to a Chinese company, and a lot of new information surfaced, among the information some proposed it could as well be a “variant factory”, one of these people was Daoyu (in case you are not aware, Daoyu is one of the most competent molecular geneticists in the planet).

These last few paragraphs highlight that such "preparedness" efforts are, at the very least, useless, and more likely, they are the very cause of what they intend to prevent. To make matters worse, not only was the response to the pandemic disastrous, but Moderna and its creation, the mRNA platform (both DARPA brainchildren), will have a significant negative impact for decades to come. Unfortunately, we will likely need a similar platform as mRNA, but without ending up in such a massive, catastrophic failure (I will make this argument in my Next Pandemic article shortly).

3D-printed viruses, synthetic biology and more

If by any chance you decide to read the first article, The futility of “pandemic preparedness” I want you to bear in mind everything described there, merely a little over 1 year ago, can be fully automatized now using Large Language Models and AI.

Just one year and technology made an astronomical jump. Interesting times indeed.
