These vaccines are being made for animal viruses which are being tested to analyse their impact on humans. None of these viruses is confirmed to have affected humans yet, however "Disease X" is used as a placeholder name for whichever could eventually spread to humans. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/aug/07/new-vaccine-research-centre-porton-down-uk https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66396585
