Funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has helped the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to invest $1.2 million in a startup with Jurata Thin Film Inc. to create under-the-tongue vaccine wafers for needle-free vaccines. CEPI’s mission is to fund the development of “rapid response platforms to develop vaccines against ‘Disease X.’
What is Disease X?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) there is a short list of “priority diseases” that could “cause the next deadly pandemic.” We are familiar with the names of most of these diseases — Ebola, SARS and Zika, but the most recent addition to the list is named “Disease X.”
The term Disease X is used by the WHO as “a placeholder”name to describe a disease that is as yet, unknown to medical science as a cause of human infections, and as of yet they do not even know whether they will introduce it as a virus, a bacterium, a fungus or other agent.
The WHO have been trying to alert us to an “UNKNOWN and surprise disease outbreak” which they say “could spread across the world in as little as 36 hours, killing upwards of 80 million people,” The Express reported in September 2019. “And we are not prepared, new research has shockingly claimed.”
