"Disease X" is not an actual disease. It is a generic placeholder name used in scientific fields in the analysis of potential worst-case scenarios. This term defines a theoretical disease that could potentially trigger a global crisis. https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/09/27/what-is-disease-x-how-scientists-are-preparing-for-the-next-pandemic/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/01/11/what-is-disease-x-right-wing-circles-slam-hypothetical-pandemic/?sh=32a9551b828d https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/aug/07/tiktok-posts/conspiracy-theorists-falsely-claim-disease-x-is-th/ https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/08/29/disease-x/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1794013233004609831
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
